LibTactics vs. SSReflect (another tactics package)

  • for PL vs. for math
  • traditional vs. rethinks..so harder

Theorem ceval_deterministic: ∀c st st1 st2,
st =[ c ]⇒ st1 →
st =[ c ]⇒ st2 →
st1 = st2.
intros c st st1 st2 E1 E2. (* 以往如果想给 Hypo 命名必须说全 *)
introv E1 E2. (* 现在可以忽略 forall 的部分 *)

(* was... 需要 subst, clear *)
- inversion H. subst. inversion H2. subst.
(* now... *)
- inverts H. inverts H2.


(* 可以把 invert 出来的东西放在 goal 的位置让你自己用 intro 命名!*)
inverts E2 as.

Tactics for N-ary Connectives

Because Coq encodes conjunctions and disjunctions using binary constructors ∧ and ∨…
to work with a N-ary logical connectives…

splits

n-ary conjunction

n-ary split

branch

n-ary disjunction

faster destruct?

Tactics for Working with Equality

asserts_rewrite and cuts_rewrite

substs

better subst - not fail on circular eq

fequals

vs f_equal?

applys_eq

variant of eapply

Some Convenient Shorthands

unfolds

better unfold

false and tryfalse

better exfalso

gen

shorthand for generalize dependent, multiple arg.

(* old *)
intros Gamma x U v t S Htypt Htypv.
generalize dependent S. generalize dependent Gamma.

(* new...so nice!!! *)
introv Htypt Htypv. gen S Gamma.

admits, admit_rewrite and admit_goal

wrappers around admit

sort

proof context more readable

vars -> top
hypotheses -> bottom

Tactics for Advanced Lemma Instantiation

Working on lets

Working on applys, forwards and specializes
