Hi Christian,

I guess the reason is that »d« does not depend on any parameter. Did
not go into possible technical reasons or the question whether this is
»well-behaved«.

Cheers,

Dear all,

Consider the following (I used Isabelle2013-RC2, but the same thing
happens also with Isabelle2012):

locale test =
fixes c :: bool
begin
abbreviation "c' == c"
term c

definition "d = True"
abbreviation "d' == d"
term d

definition "e = c"
abbreviation "e' == e"
term e

end

for the output of "term c" the abbreviation is used, for "term d" not,
but again for "term e". Is this intended behavior?

Originally I noticed this kind of thing in

locale finite_tree =
fixes mk :: "'b ⇒ 'a list ⇒ 'a"
...
begin

...

inductive
subtree :: "'a ⇒ 'a ⇒ bool"
where
base [intro]: "t ∈ set ts ⟹ subtree t (mk x ts)" |
step [intro]: "subtree s t ⟹ t ∈ set ts ⟹ subtree s (mk x ts)"

abbreviation "subtreeeq == subtree^=="
term subtreeeq

...

end

where the abbreviation subtreeeq is also not used (but I wanted to have
such an abbreviation during document preparation).

cheers

chris
