Hi people,
A record field defines a constant of type function, which is the accessors
of the field. There's a way to disambiguate between multiple of such
constants, selecting the one of a same name of different records, using a
prefix; but I don't see or don't know a way to select one of a same name
of the whole theory scope.
A sample case:
consts y :: bool
consts z :: bool
record u = x :: bool
record v = x :: bool y :: bool
term "(| u.x = y |)"
term "(| v.x = y, v.y = y |)"
Both above terms has are erroneous, due to type error with “y”,
interpreted as “v.y” (substituting “= y” to “= z” is OK). I can select “x”
from “u” or “v” using the corresponding prefixes, but I don't know how to
select the “y” defined prior to the records definitions.
Is there a prefix to select the “y::bool” constant?
The case occurred during investigation, not during a real case, so that's
not blocking for now, but it teases me enough to make me open this thread.

Hi Yannick,
You can refer to all constants with their unique long name (unless
access has been disabled explicitly with hide_const). In your example,
you can refer to y introduced in the consts declaration as TheoryName.y
where TheoryName is the name of the theory that contains the
declaration. Side remark: Name hiding is not specific to the record package.
Best,
Andreas
