From b6682484477d5ecb506c057cc2a9fe4ed883e22c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Clément Pit-Claudel Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2020 11:41:10 -0500 Subject: doc: Clarify the status of simpl vs cbn The cbn tactic was documented in aa9db490a2. The current manual causes confusion by suggesting that cbn is a replacement for simpl, while in practice they do different things, both with their own quirks. Given that neither is consistently faster than the other, I think it's worth clarifying the manual. --- doc/sphinx/proofs/writing-proofs/rewriting.rst | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/doc/sphinx/proofs/writing-proofs/rewriting.rst b/doc/sphinx/proofs/writing-proofs/rewriting.rst index b7f2927000..3649202b45 100644 --- a/doc/sphinx/proofs/writing-proofs/rewriting.rst +++ b/doc/sphinx/proofs/writing-proofs/rewriting.rst @@ -522,7 +522,7 @@ the conversion in hypotheses :n:`{+ @ident}`. use the name of the constant the (co)fixpoint comes from instead of the (co)fixpoint definition in recursive calls. - The :tacn:`cbn` tactic is claimed to be a more principled, faster and more + The :tacn:`cbn` tactic was intended to be a more principled, faster and more predictable replacement for :tacn:`simpl`.
