Hi all,

I am currently converting my theories to Isabelle 2009 and stumbled
across the following problem with locales:

In Isabelle 2008, things like the following worked very well:

locale foo =
fixes x :: "'a => 'a => bool"
and y :: "'a => 'a => bool"
and P :: "'a => bool"
and xs :: "'a => 'a => bool" ("_ ->* _")
defines xs_def: "xs == (%a b. x a b & y a b)^**"
assumes "a ->* b ==> P b"

interpretation f: foo["%a b. a > 0 & b <= Suc 0" "%a b. a < 10"
"%a.True"]
apply(simp)
apply(unfold_locales)
apply(rule TrueI)
done

Here, I use the defines feature to introduce an abbreviation and
notation for some complex term which can then be used to state the
assumptions. Inside the locale, the defined parameter behaves like a
definition whereas when interpreting these locales, these definitions
are automatically unfolded.

If I try to do this to Isabelle 2009, everything seems to break. The
locale definition works as before, but interpreting foo is terrible:

1st try:

interpretation f: foo "%a b. a > 0 & b <= Suc 0" "%a b. a < 10"
"%a.True"

This does not work because the defined parameter is not instantiated,
but left as a free variable, which must be shown equal to the definition
of xs in the locale.

2nd try:

interpretation f: foo "%a b. a > 0 & b <= Suc 0" "%a b. a < 10"
"%a. True"
"(%a b. a > 0 & b <= Suc 0 & a < 10)^**"

Now the explicit parameter is given, but unfold_locales nor
intro_locales longer work any longer (empty result sequence). It seems
that I have to prove the interpretation manually by (rule foo.intro,
simp_all).

Regards,
Andreas Lochbihler

Quoting Andreas Lochbihler <lochbihl@ipd.info.uni-karlsruhe.de>:

locale foo =
fixes x :: "'a => 'a => bool"
and y :: "'a => 'a => bool"
and P :: "'a => bool"
and xs :: "'a => 'a => bool" ("_ ->* _")
defines xs_def: "xs == (%a b. x a b & y a b)^**"
assumes "a ->* b ==> P b"

interpretation f: foo["%a b. a > 0 & b <= Suc 0" "%a b. a < 10"
"%a.True"]

The feature that defined parameters may be omitted in interpretation
has been withdrawn in an attempt to make defines more similar to
assumes.

2nd try:

interpretation f: foo "%a b. a > 0 & b <= Suc 0" "%a b. a < 10"
"%a. True"
"(%a b. a > 0 & b <= Suc 0 & a < 10)^**"

Now the explicit parameter is given, but unfold_locales nor
intro_locales longer work any longer (empty result sequence).

In apply-style you can do "apply -" to break up the goal followed by
explicit goal addressing ("apply unfold_locales [1]" or similar). In
proper Isar proofs, "proof" breaks up the goal for you.

In fact, this break up of simultaneous goals is implicit in any regular method
application (with the exception of special simultaneous methods like "induct").

This means you can finish the proof script like this:

interpretation f:
foo "%a b. a > 0 & b <= Suc 0" "%a b. a < 10" "%a. True"
"(%a b. a > 0 & b <= Suc 0 & a < 10)^**"
apply (unfold_locales)[1]
apply (rule TrueI)
apply simp
done

So what (if any) is the difference between "defines" and "assumes" now? It
seems that with the current locale package, locale "foo" might as well be
defined as below, with "assumes xs_def". Am I missing something?

locale foo =
fixes x :: "'a => 'a => bool"
and y :: "'a => 'a => bool"
and P :: "'a => bool"
and xs :: "'a => 'a => bool" ("_ ->* _")
assumes xs_def: "xs == (%a b. x a b & y a b)^**"
assumes "a ->* b ==> P b"
