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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
