Re: [isabelle-dev] Problem with factorial-ring in combination with containers

Hi Manuel, My point with "finite" was that for the current default setup, you don't need any type class instantiations (see the code equations below). Only if someone imports Card_UNIV from HOL/Library (e.g., for FinFun or for Containers), he or she has to do the instantiations for finite_UNIV

Hm, that sounds reasonable. However, I am not sure whether using "finite" is really such a good idea; it will lead to people having to instantiate "finite_UNIV" for all kinds of things all the time. I think I once considered a similar solution using a copy of "finite" that does Code.abort in case

This, too, is an industry standard. Of course, I am not the expert, but I'm pretty sure this is achievable with the system we have – if there is a consensus that this is what we want, that is. Manuel ___ isabelle-dev mailing list isabelle-...@in.tum.de h

Hi Manuel, Indeed, generic iteration over a set is only well-defined if the set is finite. For an infinite set, the generic iteration combinator returns an unspecified value, not 0 or 1. In fact, I had imagined a code equation like you described, namely "Gcd A = (if finite A then ... else C

I’d be happy with this, if it’s achievable. I’ve only tried the testboard once or twice; I find it too easy to do the wrong thing when you have a choice of targets to push to, and I have a powerful machine so I prefer to test there. But a mechanism of the sort you describe (provided it’s easy t

I have decided to add my own opinions to this debate. My knowledge of the old testing system is limited, but I hope my perspective will still hold some interest. First of all, a usable testing infrastructure does not grow overnight by itself. Someone has to put in a lot of time and effort to make

I'm afraid it's not quite as easy as that. You cannot use the existing combinators for comp_fun_commute for Gcd. For infinite sets, these combinators return the neutral element (i.e. "0" for Gcd and "1" for Lcm), but not every infinite set has Gcd 0 or Lcm 1. For setsum/setprod, this works because

Hi René and Manuel, Indeed, for sets, expressing the code equations in terms of a generic iteration operation on sets would do the job for most of the cases. The comp_fun_commute and comp_fun_idem types in Containers precisely do this, but they have not been integrated in the HOL library yet.

This is a problem that I have given quite some thought in the past. The problem is the following: You have a theory A providing certain operations on sets (in this case: Gcd) and a theory B providing implementations for sets (in this case: Containers). The problem is that the code equations for th

I’ve just added a lot more advanced material from HOL Light. There isn't much about this in the NEWS file; unfortunately there is no headline result to mention or even a dominant theme. Nor can we say that the entire library has been ported. But I still think it’s a significant development for t
