Library AdditionalTactics
A library of additional tactics.
Require Export String.
Open Scope string_scope.
"
remember c as x in |-
" replaces the term c
by the identifier
x
in the conclusion of the current goal and introduces the
hypothesis x=c
into the context. This tactic differs from a
similar one in the standard library in that the replacement is
made only in the conclusion of the goal; the context is left
unchanged.
Tactic Notation "remember" constr(c) "as" ident(x) "in" "|-" :=
let x := fresh x in
let H := fresh "Heq" x in
(set (x := c); assert (H : x = c) by reflexivity; clearbody x).
"
unsimpl E
" replaces all occurence of X
by E
, where X
is
the result that tactic simpl
would give when used to evaluate
E
.
Tactic Notation "unsimpl" constr(E) :=
let F := (eval simpl in E) in change F with E.
The following tactics call the
(e)apply
tactic with the first
hypothesis that succeeds, "first" meaning the hypothesis that
comes earliest in the context, i.e., higher up in the list.
Ltac apply_first_hyp :=
match reverse goal with
| H : _ |- _ => apply H
end.
Ltac eapply_first_hyp :=
match reverse goal with
| H : _ |- _ => eapply H
end.
The
Implementation note: if we declare these tactics using a single string, e.g., "auto*", then the resulting tactics are unusable since they fail to parse.
auto*
and eauto*
tactics are intended to be "stronger"
versions of the auto
and eauto
tactics. Similar to auto
and
eauto
, they each take an optional "depth" argument.
Implementation note: if we declare these tactics using a single string, e.g., "auto*", then the resulting tactics are unusable since they fail to parse.
Tactic Notation "auto" "*" :=
try solve [ congruence | auto | intuition auto ].
Tactic Notation "auto" "*" integer(n) :=
try solve [ congruence | auto n | intuition (auto n) ].
Tactic Notation "eauto" "*" :=
try solve [ congruence | eauto | intuition eauto ].
Tactic Notation "eauto" "*" integer(n) :=
try solve [ congruence | eauto n | intuition (eauto n) ].
Ltac move_to_top x :=
match reverse goal with
| H : _ |- _ => try move x after H
end.
Tactic Notation "assert_eq" ident(x) constr(v) :=
let H := fresh in
assert (x = v) as H by reflexivity;
clear H.
Tactic Notation "Case_aux" ident(x) constr(name) :=
first [
set (x := name); move_to_top x
| assert_eq x name
| fail 1 "because we are working on a different case." ].
Ltac Case name := Case_aux case name.
Ltac SCase name := Case_aux subcase name.
Ltac SSCase name := Case_aux subsubcase name.
Ltac SSSCase name := Case_aux subsubsubcase name.
Ltac SSSSCase name := Case_aux subsubsubsubcase name.
Example
One mode of use for the above tactics is to wrap Coq's
induction
tactic such that it automatically inserts "case" markers into each
branch of the proof. For example:
Tactic Notation "induction" "nat" ident(n) := induction n; [ Case "O" | Case "S" ]. Tactic Notation "sub" "induction" "nat" ident(n) := induction n; [ SCase "O" | SCase "S" ]. Tactic Notation "sub" "sub" "induction" "nat" ident(n) := induction n; [ SSCase "O" | SSCase "S" ].
If you use such customized versions of the induction tactics, then the
Case
tactic will verify that you are working on the case
that you think you are. You may also use the Case
tactic with
the standard version of induction
, in which case no verification
is done.
ltac_map
applies a unary, non-dependently typed function F
to
everything in the context such that the application type checks.
The tactic returns a list
containing the results of the
applications.
Implementation note: The check for duplicates in the accumulator (
match acc with ...
) is necessary to ensure that the tactic does
not go into an infinite loop.
Ltac ltac_map F :=
let rec map acc :=
match goal with
| H : ?S |- _ =>
let FH := constr:(F H) in
match acc with
| context [FH] => fail 1
| _ => map (List.cons FH acc)
end
| _ => acc
end
in
match type of F with
| ?A -> ?B => let res := map (@List.nil B) in (eval simpl in res)
end.
ltac_remove_dups
takes a list
and removes duplicate items from
it. The supplied list must, after simplification via simpl
, be
built from only nil
and cons
. Duplicates are recognized only
"up to syntax," i.e., the limitations of Ltac's context
check.
Ltac ltac_remove_dups xs :=
let rec remove xs acc :=
match xs with
| List.nil => acc
| List.cons ?x ?xs =>
match acc with
| context [x] => remove xs acc
| _ => remove xs (List.cons x acc)
end
end
in
match type of xs with
| List.list ?A =>
let xs := (eval simpl in xs) in
let xs := remove xs (@List.nil A) in
eval simpl in (List.rev xs)
end.
ltac_fold_and_simpl
is a wrapper for List.fold_right
that does
some preliminary simplification and removal of duplicates on the
supplied list.
Ltac ltac_fold_and_simpl f start xs :=
let xs := (eval simpl in xs) in
let xs := ltac_remove_dups xs in
let xs := eval simpl in (List.fold_right f start xs) in
xs.
