Dear all,

when I tried to adapt Isabelle/HOLCF Prelude (e.g.,

hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/holcf-prelude/code holcf-prelude

) to Isabelle2013-2-RC3 I got an exception in the definition of

fixrec scanr :: "('a → 'b → 'b) → 'b → ['a] → ['b]" where
"scanr⋅f⋅q0⋅[] = [q0]" |
"scanr⋅f⋅q0⋅(x : xs) = (
let qs = scanr⋅f⋅q0⋅xs in
(case qs of
[] ⇒ ⊥
| q : _ ⇒ f⋅x⋅q : qs))"

(and similar definitions). The error message is

exception TERM raised (line 142 of "Syntax/syntax_trans.ML"):
binder_tr: _cabs
\<^const>dummy_pattern
\<^const>Cfun.Rep_cfun (\<^const>Cfun.Rep_cfun
\<^const>Data_List.list.Cons (\<^const>Cfun.Rep_cfun
(\<^const>Cfun.Rep_cfun f x) q)) qs

What is this supposed to tell me? ;)

cheers

chris

Good question. Maybe it is related to recent renovations in the case
syntax!? Any experts in this and/or HOLCF?

The recent renovations of the case syntax are not used in HOLCF. There
was a thread on this earlier (which didn't lead to any reasonable code
changes AFAIK):
