-\chapter[Proof handling]{Proof handling\index{Proof editing}
-\label{Proof-handling}}
-%HEVEA\cutname{proof-handling.html}
-
-In \Coq's proof editing mode all top-level commands documented in
-Chapter~\ref{Vernacular-commands} remain available
-and the user has access to specialized commands dealing with proof
-development pragmas documented in this section. He can also use some
-other specialized commands called {\em tactics}. They are the very
-tools allowing the user to deal with logical reasoning. They are
-documented in Chapter~\ref{Tactics}.\\
-When switching in editing proof mode, the prompt
-\index{Prompt}
-{\tt Coq <} is changed into {\tt {\ident} <} where {\ident} is the
-declared name of the theorem currently edited.
-
-At each stage of a proof development, one has a list of goals to
-prove. Initially, the list consists only in the theorem itself. After
-having applied some tactics, the list of goals contains the subgoals
-generated by the tactics.
-
-To each subgoal is associated a number of
-hypotheses called the {\em \index*{local context}} of the goal.
-Initially, the local context contains the local variables and
-hypotheses of the current section (see Section~\ref{Variable}) and the
-local variables and hypotheses of the theorem statement. It is
-enriched by the use of certain tactics (see e.g. {\tt intro} in
-Section~\ref{intro}).
-
-When a proof is completed, the message {\tt Proof completed} is
-displayed. One can then register this proof as a defined constant in the
-environment. Because there exists a correspondence between proofs and
-terms of $\lambda$-calculus, known as the {\em Curry-Howard
-isomorphism} \cite{How80,Bar91,Gir89,Hue89}, \Coq~ stores proofs as
-terms of {\sc Cic}. Those terms are called {\em proof
- terms}\index{Proof term}.
-
-\ErrMsg When one attempts to use a proof editing command out of the
-proof editing mode, \Coq~ raises the error message : \errindex{No focused
- proof}.
-
-\section{Switching on/off the proof editing mode}
-
-The proof editing mode is entered by asserting a statement, which
-typically is the assertion of a theorem:
-
-\begin{quote}
-{\tt Theorem {\ident} \zeroone{\binders} : {\form}.\comindex{Theorem}
-\label{Theorem}}
-\end{quote}
-
-The list of assertion commands is given in
-Section~\ref{Assertions}. The command {\tt Goal} can also be used.
-
-\subsection[Goal {\form}.]{\tt Goal {\form}.\comindex{Goal}\label{Goal}}
-
-This is intended for quick assertion of statements, without knowing in
-advance which name to give to the assertion, typically for quick
-testing of the provability of a statement. If the proof of the
-statement is eventually completed and validated, the statement is then
-bound to the name {\tt Unnamed\_thm} (or a variant of this name not
-already used for another statement).
-
-\subsection[\tt Qed.]{\tt Qed.\comindex{Qed}\label{Qed}}
-This command is available in interactive editing proof mode when the
-proof is completed. Then {\tt Qed} extracts a proof term from the
-proof script, switches back to {\Coq} top-level and attaches the
-extracted proof term to the declared name of the original goal. This
-name is added to the environment as an {\tt Opaque} constant.
-
-\begin{ErrMsgs}
-\item \errindex{Attempt to save an incomplete proof}
-%\item \ident\ \errindex{already exists}\\
-% The implicit name is already defined. You have then to provide
-% explicitly a new name (see variant 3 below).
-\item Sometimes an error occurs when building the proof term,
-because tactics do not enforce completely the term construction
-constraints.
-
-The user should also be aware of the fact that since the proof term is
-completely rechecked at this point, one may have to wait a while when
-the proof is large. In some exceptional cases one may even incur a
-memory overflow.
-\end{ErrMsgs}
-
-\begin{Variants}
-
-\item {\tt Defined.}
-\comindex{Defined}
-\label{Defined}
-
- Defines the proved term as a transparent constant.
-
-\item {\tt Save {\ident}.}
-
- Forces the name of the original goal to be {\ident}. This command
- (and the following ones) can only be used if the original goal has
- been opened using the {\tt Goal} command.
-
-\end{Variants}
-
-\subsection[\tt Admitted.]{\tt Admitted.\comindex{Admitted}\label{Admitted}}
-This command is available in interactive editing proof mode to give up
-the current proof and declare the initial goal as an axiom.
-
-\subsection[\tt Proof {\term}.]{\tt Proof {\term}.\comindex{Proof}
-\label{BeginProof}}
-This command applies in proof editing mode. It is equivalent to {\tt
- exact {\term}. Qed.} That is, you have to give the full proof in
-one gulp, as a proof term (see Section~\ref{exact}).
-
-\variant {\tt Proof.}
-
- Is a noop which is useful to delimit the sequence of tactic commands
- which start a proof, after a {\tt Theorem} command. It is a good
- practice to use {\tt Proof.} as an opening parenthesis, closed in
- the script with a closing {\tt Qed.}
-
-\SeeAlso {\tt Proof with {\tac}.} in Section~\ref{ProofWith}.
-
-\subsection[{\tt Proof using} {\ident$_1$} {\ldots} {\ident$_n$}{\tt .}]
-{{\tt Proof using} {\ident$_1$} {\ldots} {\ident$_n$}{\tt .}
-\comindex{Proof using} \label{ProofUsing}}
-
-This command applies in proof editing mode.
-It declares the set of section variables (see~\ref{Variable})
-used by the proof. At {\tt Qed} time, the system will assert that
-the set of section variables actually used in the proof is a subset of
-the declared one.
-
-The set of declared variables is closed under type dependency.
-For example if {\tt T} is variable and {\tt a} is a variable of
-type {\tt T}, the commands {\tt Proof using a} and
-{\tt Proof using T a} are actually equivalent.
-
-\variant {\tt Proof using} {\ident$_1$} {\ldots} {\ident$_n$} {\tt with} {\tac}{\tt .}
-in Section~\ref{ProofWith}.
-
-\variant {\tt Proof using All.}
-
- Use all section variables.
-
-\variant {\tt Proof using Type.}
-\variant {\tt Proof using.}
-
- Use only section variables occurring in the statement.
-
-\variant {\tt Proof using Type*.}
-
- The {\tt *} operator computes the forward transitive closure.
- E.g. if the variable {\tt H} has type {\tt p < 5} then {\tt H} is
- in {\tt p*} since {\tt p} occurs in the type of {\tt H}.
- {\tt Type* } is the forward transitive closure of the entire set of
- section variables occurring in the statement.
-
-\variant {\tt Proof using -( \ident$_1$} {\ldots} {\tt \ident$_n$ ).}
-
- Use all section variables except {\ident$_1$} {\ldots} {\ident$_n$}.
-
-\variant {\tt Proof using \nterm{collection}$_1$ + \nterm{collection}$_2$ .}
-
-\variant {\tt Proof using \nterm{collection}$_1$ - \nterm{collection}$_2$ .}
-
-\variant {\tt Proof using \nterm{collection} - ( \ident$_1$} {\ldots} {\tt \ident$_n$ ).}
-
-\variant {\tt Proof using \nterm{collection} * .}
-
- Use section variables being, respectively, in the set union, set difference,
- set complement, set forward transitive closure.
- See Section~\ref{Collection} to know how to form a named
- collection.
- The {\tt *} operator binds stronger than {\tt +} and {\tt -}.
-
-\subsubsection{{\tt Proof using} options}
-\optindex{Default Proof Using}
-\optindex{Suggest Proof Using}
-% \optindex{Proof Using Clear Unused}
-
-The following options modify the behavior of {\tt Proof using}.
-
-\variant {\tt Set Default Proof Using "expression".}
-
- Use {\tt expression} as the default {\tt Proof using} value.
- E.g. {\tt Set Default Proof Using "a b".} will complete all {\tt Proof }
- commands not followed by a {\tt using} part with {\tt using a b}.
-
-\variant {\tt Set Suggest Proof Using.}
-
- When {\tt Qed} is performed, suggest a {\tt using} annotation if
- the user did not provide one.
-
-% \variant{\tt Unset Proof Using Clear Unused.}
-%
-% When {\tt Proof using a} all section variables but for {\tt a} and
-% the variables used in the type of {\tt a} are cleared.
-% This option can be used to turn off this behavior.
-%
-\subsubsection[\tt Collection]{Name a set of section hypotheses for {\tt Proof using}}
-\comindex{Collection}\label{Collection}
-
-The command {\tt Collection} can be used to name a set of section hypotheses,
-with the purpose of making {\tt Proof using} annotations more compact.
-
-\variant {\tt Collection Some := x y z.}
-
- Define the collection named "Some" containing {\tt x y} and {\tt z}
-
-\variant {\tt Collection Fewer := Some - x.}
-
- Define the collection named "Fewer" containing only {\tt x y}
-
-\variant {\tt Collection Many := Fewer + Some.}
-\variant {\tt Collection Many := Fewer - Some.}
-
- Define the collection named "Many" containing the set union or set difference
- of "Fewer" and "Some".
-
-\variant {\tt Collection Many := Fewer - (x y).}
-
- Define the collection named "Many" containing the set difference
- of "Fewer" and the unnamed collection {\tt x y}.
-
-\subsection[\tt Abort.]{\tt Abort.\comindex{Abort}}
-
-This command cancels the current proof development, switching back to
-the previous proof development, or to the \Coq\ toplevel if no other
-proof was edited.
-
-\begin{ErrMsgs}
-\item \errindex{No focused proof (No proof-editing in progress)}
-\end{ErrMsgs}
-
-\begin{Variants}
-
-\item {\tt Abort {\ident}.}
-
- Aborts the editing of the proof named {\ident}.
-
-\item {\tt Abort All.}
-
- Aborts all current goals, switching back to the \Coq\ toplevel.
-
-\end{Variants}
-
-%%%%
-\subsection[\tt Existential {\num} := {\term}.]{\tt Existential {\num} := {\term}.\comindex{Existential}
-\label{Existential}}
-
-This command instantiates an existential variable. {\tt \num}
-is an index in the list of uninstantiated existential variables
-displayed by {\tt Show Existentials} (described in Section~\ref{Show}).
-
-This command is intended to be used to instantiate existential
-variables when the proof is completed but some uninstantiated
-existential variables remain. To instantiate existential variables
-during proof edition, you should use the tactic {\tt instantiate}.
-
-\SeeAlso {\tt instantiate (\num:= \term).} in Section~\ref{instantiate}.
-\SeeAlso {\tt Grab Existential Variables.} below.
-
-\subsection[\tt Grab Existential Variables.]{\tt Grab Existential Variables.\comindex{Grab Existential Variables}
-\label{GrabEvars}}
-
-This command can be run when a proof has no more goal to be solved but has remaining
-uninstantiated existential variables. It takes every uninstantiated existential variable
-and turns it into a goal.
-
-%%%%%%%%
-\section{Navigation in the proof tree}
-%%%%%%%%
-
-\subsection[\tt Undo.]{\tt Undo.\comindex{Undo}}
-
-This command cancels the effect of the last command. Thus, it
-backtracks one step.
-
-\begin{Variants}
-
-\item {\tt Undo {\num}.}
-
- Repeats {\tt Undo} {\num} times.
-
-\end{Variants}
-
-\subsection[\tt Restart.]{\tt Restart.\comindex{Restart}}
-This command restores the proof editing process to the original goal.
-
-\begin{ErrMsgs}
-\item \errindex{No focused proof to restart}
-\end{ErrMsgs}
-
-\subsection[\tt Focus.]{\tt Focus.\comindex{Focus}}
-This focuses the attention on the first subgoal to prove and the printing
-of the other subgoals is suspended until the focused subgoal is
-solved or unfocused. This is useful when there are many current
-subgoals which clutter your screen.
-
-\begin{Variant}
-\item {\tt Focus {\num}.}\\
-This focuses the attention on the $\num^{th}$ subgoal to prove.
-\end{Variant}
-
-\emph{This command is deprecated since 8.8: prefer the use of bullets or
- focusing brackets instead, including {\tt {\num}: \{}}.
-
-\subsection[\tt Unfocus.]{\tt Unfocus.\comindex{Unfocus}}
-This command restores to focus the goal that were suspended by the
-last {\tt Focus} command.
-
-\emph{This command is deprecated since 8.8.}
-
-\subsection[\tt Unfocused.]{\tt Unfocused.\comindex{Unfocused}}
-Succeeds in the proof if fully unfocused, fails if there are some
-goals out of focus.
-
-\subsection[\tt \{ \textrm{and} \}]{\tt \{ \textrm{and} \}\comindex{\{}\comindex{\}}}\label{curlybacket}
-The command {\tt \{} (without a terminating period) focuses on the
-first goal, much like {\tt Focus.} does, however, the subproof can
-only be unfocused when it has been fully solved (\emph{i.e.} when
-there is no focused goal left). Unfocusing is then handled by {\tt \}}
-(again, without a terminating period). See also example in next section.
-
-Note that when a focused goal is proved a message is displayed
-together with a suggestion about the right bullet or {\tt \}} to
-unfocus it or focus the next one.
-
-\begin{Variants}
-
-\item {\tt {\num}: \{}\\
-This focuses on the $\num^{th}$ subgoal to prove.
-
-\end{Variants}
-
-\begin{ErrMsgs}
-\item \errindex{This proof is focused, but cannot be unfocused
- this way} You are trying to use {\tt \}} but the current subproof
- has not been fully solved.
-\item \errindex{No such goal}
-\item \errindex{Brackets only support the single numbered goal selector}
-\item see also error message about bullets below.
-\end{ErrMsgs}
-
-\subsection[Bullets]{Bullets\comindex{+ (command)}
- \comindex{- (command)}\comindex{* (command)}\index{Bullets}}\label{bullets}
-Alternatively to {\tt \{} and {\tt \}}, proofs can be structured with
-bullets. The use of a bullet $b$ for the first time focuses on the
-first goal $g$, the same bullet cannot be used again until the proof
-of $g$ is completed, then it is mandatory to focus the next goal with $b$. The
-consequence is that $g$ and all goals present when $g$ was focused are
-focused with the same bullet $b$. See the example below.
-
-Different bullets can be used to nest levels. The scope of bullet does
-not go beyond enclosing {\tt \{} and {\tt \}}, so bullets can be
-reused as further nesting levels provided they are delimited by these.
-Available bullets are {\tt -}, {\tt +}, {\tt *}, {\tt --}, {\tt ++}, {\tt **},
-{\tt ---}, {\tt +++}, {\tt ***}, ... (without a
-terminating period).
-
-Note again that when a focused goal is proved a message is displayed
-together with a suggestion about the right bullet or {\tt \}} to
-unfocus it or focus the next one.
-
-Remark: In {\ProofGeneral} (Emacs interface to {\Coq}), you must use
-bullets with the priority ordering shown above to have a correct
-indentation. For example {\tt -} must be the outer bullet and {\tt **}
-the inner one in the example below.
-
-The following example script illustrates all these features:
-\begin{coq_example*}
-Goal (((True/\True)/\True)/\True)/\True.
-Proof.
- split.
- - split.
- + split.
- ** { split.
- - trivial.
- - trivial.
- }
- ** trivial.
- + trivial.
- - assert True.
- { trivial. }
- assumption.
-\end{coq_example*}
-
-
-\begin{ErrMsgs}
-\item \errindex{Wrong bullet {\abullet}1 : Current bullet
- {\abullet}2 is not finished.}
-
- Before using bullet {\abullet}1 again, you should first finish
- proving the current focused goal. Note that {\abullet}1 and
- {\abullet}2 may be the same.
-
-\item \errindex{Wrong bullet {\abullet}1 : Bullet {\abullet}2
- is mandatory here.} You must put {\abullet}2 to focus next goal.
- No other bullet is allowed here.
-
-
-\item \errindex{No such goal. Focus next goal with bullet
- {\abullet}.}
-
- You tried to applied a tactic but no goal where under focus. Using
- {\abullet} is mandatory here.
-
-\item \errindex{No such goal. Try unfocusing with {"{\tt \}}"}.} You
- just finished a goal focused by {\tt \{}, you must unfocus it with "{\tt \}}".
-
-\end{ErrMsgs}
-
-\subsection[\tt Set Bullet Behavior.]{\tt Set Bullet Behavior.\optindex{Bullet Behavior}}
-
-The bullet behavior can be controlled by the following commands.
-
-\begin{quote}
-Set Bullet Behavior "None".
-\end{quote}
-
-This makes bullets inactive.
-
-\begin{quote}
-Set Bullet Behavior "Strict Subproofs".
-\end{quote}
-
-This makes bullets active (this is the default behavior).
-
-\section{Requesting information}
-
-\subsection[\tt Show.]{\tt Show.\comindex{Show}\label{Show}}
-This command displays the current goals.
-
-\begin{Variants}
-\item {\tt Show {\num}.}\\
- Displays only the {\num}-th subgoal.\\
-\begin{ErrMsgs}
-\item \errindex{No such goal}
-\item \errindex{No focused proof}
-\end{ErrMsgs}
-
-\item {\tt Show {\ident}.}\\
- Displays the named goal {\ident}.
- This is useful in particular to display a shelved goal but only works
- if the corresponding existential variable has been named by the user
- (see~\ref{ExistentialVariables}) as in the following example.
-
-\begin{coq_eval}
-Reset Initial.
-\end{coq_eval}
-
-\begin{coq_example*}
-Goal exists n, n = 0.
- eexists ?[n].
-\end{coq_example*}
-\begin{coq_example}
- Show n.
-\end{coq_example}
-
-\item {\tt Show Script.}\comindex{Show Script}\\
- Displays the whole list of tactics applied from the beginning
- of the current proof.
- This tactics script may contain some holes (subgoals not yet proved).
- They are printed under the form \verb!<Your Tactic Text here>!.
-
-\item {\tt Show Proof.}\comindex{Show Proof}\\
-It displays the proof term generated by the
-tactics that have been applied.
-If the proof is not completed, this term contain holes,
-which correspond to the sub-terms which are still to be
-constructed. These holes appear as a question mark indexed
-by an integer, and applied to the list of variables in
-the context, since it may depend on them.
-The types obtained by abstracting away the context from the
-type of each hole-placer are also printed.
-
-\item {\tt Show Conjectures.}\comindex{Show Conjectures}\\
-It prints the list of the names of all the theorems that
-are currently being proved.
-As it is possible to start proving a previous lemma during
-the proof of a theorem, this list may contain several
-names.
-
-\item{\tt Show Intro.}\comindex{Show Intro}\\
-If the current goal begins by at least one product, this command
-prints the name of the first product, as it would be generated by
-an anonymous {\tt intro}. The aim of this command is to ease the
-writing of more robust scripts. For example, with an appropriate
-{\ProofGeneral} macro, it is possible to transform any anonymous {\tt
- intro} into a qualified one such as {\tt intro y13}.
-In the case of a non-product goal, it prints nothing.
-
-\item{\tt Show Intros.}\comindex{Show Intros}\\
-This command is similar to the previous one, it simulates the naming
-process of an {\tt intros}.
-
-\item{\tt Show Existentials.\label{ShowExistentials}}\comindex{Show Existentials}
-\\ It displays
-the set of all uninstantiated existential variables in the current proof tree,
-along with the type and the context of each variable.
-
-\item{\tt Show Match {\ident}.\label{ShowMatch}}\comindex{Show Match}\\
-This variant displays a template of the Gallina {\tt match} construct
-with a branch for each constructor of the type {\ident}.
-
-Example:
-
-\begin{coq_example}
-Show Match nat.
-\end{coq_example}
-\begin{ErrMsgs}
-\item \errindex{Unknown inductive type}
-\end{ErrMsgs}
-
-\item{\tt Show Universes.\label{ShowUniverses}}\comindex{Show Universes}
-\\ It displays the set of all universe constraints and its
-normalized form at the current stage of the proof, useful for
-debugging universe inconsistencies.
-
-\end{Variants}
-
-
-\subsection[\tt Guarded.]{\tt Guarded.\comindex{Guarded}\label{Guarded}}
-
-Some tactics (e.g. refine \ref{refine}) allow to build proofs using
-fixpoint or co-fixpoint constructions. Due to the incremental nature
-of interactive proof construction, the check of the termination (or
-guardedness) of the recursive calls in the fixpoint or cofixpoint
-constructions is postponed to the time of the completion of the proof.
-
-The command \verb!Guarded! allows checking if the guard condition for
-fixpoint and cofixpoint is violated at some time of the construction
-of the proof without having to wait the completion of the proof."
-
-
-\section{Controlling the effect of proof editing commands}
-
-\subsection[\tt Set Hyps Limit {\num}.]{\tt Set Hyps Limit {\num}.\optindex{Hyps Limit}}
-This command sets the maximum number of hypotheses displayed in
-goals after the application of a tactic.
-All the hypotheses remains usable in the proof development.
-
-
-\subsection[\tt Unset Hyps Limit.]{\tt Unset Hyps Limit.\optindex{Hyps Limit}}
-This command goes back to the default mode which is to print all
-available hypotheses.
-
-
-\subsection[\tt Set Automatic Introduction.]{\tt Set Automatic Introduction.\optindex{Automatic Introduction}\label{Set Automatic Introduction}}
-
-The option {\tt Automatic Introduction} controls the way binders are
-handled in assertion commands such as {\tt Theorem {\ident}
- \zeroone{\binders} : {\form}}. When the option is set, which is the
-default, {\binders} are automatically put in the local context of the
-goal to prove.
-
-The option can be unset by issuing {\tt Unset Automatic Introduction}.
-When the option is unset, {\binders} are discharged on the statement
-to be proved and a tactic such as {\tt intro} (see
-Section~\ref{intro}) has to be used to move the assumptions to the
-local context.
-
-\section{Controlling memory usage\comindex{Optimize Proof}\comindex{Optimize Heap}}
-
-When experiencing high memory usage the following commands can be
-used to force Coq to optimize some of its internal data structures.
-
-\subsection[\tt Optimize Proof.]{\tt Optimize Proof.}
-
-This command forces Coq to shrink the data structure used to represent
-the ongoing proof.
-
-\subsection[\tt Optimize Heap.]{\tt Optimize Heap.\label{vernac-optimizeheap}}
-
-This command forces the OCaml runtime to perform a heap compaction.
-This is in general an expensive operation. See: \\
-\ \url{http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/libref/Gc.html#VALcompact} \\
-There is also an analogous tactic {\tt optimize\_heap} (see~\ref{tactic-optimizeheap}).
