Topic: [isabelle] sledgehammer+vampire 4.0 often fails

Hi,

I have a problem with sledgehammer in Isabelle 2016 with a recent vampire:

./vampire --version
Vampire 4.0 (commit 910b0ff on 2016-04-14 14:40:26 +0200)

I added the vampire binary to Isabelle by setting these environment
variables, as documented in sledgehammer.pdf:
export VAMPIRE_HOME=$HOME/local/bin
export VAMPIRE_VERSION=4.0

Very often (I guess in >50% of the cases), vampire fails like this:

Sledgehammering...
"e": Try this: using Cons.prems(2) by auto (20 ms).
"spass": Try this: using Cons.prems(2) by auto (4 ms).
"vampire": A prover error occurred. (Pass the "verbose" option for
details.)

When I look at the output of vampire, it says:

User error: Vampire only supports a single conjecuture in a problem

And it's true, the vampire input file generated by sledgehammer
sometimes ends with more than one conjecture, for example:

% Conjectures (2)
tff(conj_0, conjecture,
($false)).
tff(conj_1, conjecture,
((?[N4 : nat]: (pp(aa_nat_bool(aa_nat_fun_nat_bool(ord_less_nat,
N4), aa_list_a_nat(size_size_list_a, cons_a(x, xsa)))) &
(pp(aa_nat_bool(aa_nat_fun_nat_bool(ord_less_nat, N4),
aa_list_a_nat(size_size_list_a, ysa))) & (~
aa_nat_a(aa_list_a_fun_nat_a(nth_a, cons_a(x, xsa)), N4) =
aa_nat_a(aa_list_a_fun_nat_a(nth_a, ysa), N4))))))).

I attached a minimal theory file that shows the problem.

Is this a known problem? Is there anything I can do?

Thanks,
Christoph

Dear Christoph,

Thank you for your report. This wasn't a known problem; I guess most of us are using an older Vampire.

This will be fixed in the next Isabelle release. If you want to repair your Isabelle locally, change line 535 of

src/HOL/Tools/ATP/atp_systems.ML

from

prem_role = Conjecture,

to

prem_role = Hypothesis,

and rebuild the HOL image:

./bin/isabelle build -b HOL

Cheers,

Jasmin

Dear Jasmin,

Thanks, this seems to fix it.

I’m getting this problem too. Only it’s two years later and your fix is already in the sources. Could something else be going on?

Hi Larry,

I need a more detailed bug report. Notably, which platform? And do you really get the output

User error: Vampire only supports a single conjecuture in a problem

like Christoph did in 2016? I doubt so; hence your issue has likely nothing to do with his.

Jasmin
