Hi Andreas,

the code plugin defines a new constant (copy of op =) that is used as equality.

datatype x = A | B
export_code equal_x_inst.equal_x in SML

To get it executable (#constructors)^2 equations are proved in a backward fashion (I'm sure it could be easilly done in a forward fashion as well). However, this code goes back to Stefan and Florian, and we didn't attempt to optimize it when integrating it with the new package.

But isn't the performance now (894d6d863823 ) already acceptable?

Hi Dmitriy,

Thanks for investigating. I am really surprised that the code plugin is to blame for the huge overhead. I don't know the details of the code plugin, but I have an idea of what it should do: instantiate the equals type class, register the constructors as code constructors, and declare the pattern-matching equations for case, set, rel, map and equals as [code].

None of this should involve any fancy proof. In fact, most of the equations should have already been proven by the free_constructors part or should be easily derived from them by single-step resolutions. What am I missing?

Hi Andreas,

I've investigated this a bit and the slowdown happens in the code plugin in the instantiation of the equal type class (i.e. datatype (plugins del: code) is more precise than the advice below). The number of theorems proved there is quadratic (>8000 in your
case).

But it is still not hopeless: those 8000 theorems are proved one after each other calling Goal.prove for each of them. It is much faster to form the (balanced) conjunction, call Goal.prove (which does among other things type checking) once, and then destroy the
conjunction. I'm currently testing this on testboard
(http://isabelle.in.tum.de/testboard/Isabelle/rev/1863cdff2010).

Cheers,

Hi Dmitriy and Jasmin,

Thanks for the hint with plugins. That really speeds things up. I also suspect that the
timing panel does not include the forked proof tactics.

Cheers,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

rather than going dirty, try:

datatype (plugins only:) family ...

It seems that here we are "lucky" and the slowdown is caused by one of the plugins. (We'll
investigate which one.)

Cheers,
Dmitriy

PS: Your datatype reminded me of another one, which allows (or allowed) proving False in a
different theorem prover ;-)

Hi Andreas,

In Isabelle2014, processing this datatype declaration takes about one minute. So what has happened in between? (The Isabelle2014 timing panel is also way off with 8 seconds.)
Thanks for your report. What happened in between is that we generate more theorems. I suspect one or a few of them have tactics that scale poorly (e.g. cubic) in the number
of constructors.

As for the timing panel, I suspect it does not take into consideration the time spent in
tactics with multithreading on, but I’m not an expert there.

We’ll look into this. You could try “quick_and_dirty” around that particular datatype to
make things more tolerable in the meantime.

Cheers,

Jasmin
