---------------------------------------------------------------------- FULL_STRUCT_CASES_TAC (Tactic) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FULL_STRUCT_CASES_TAC : thm_tactic SYNOPSIS A form of {STRUCT_CASES_TAC} that also applies the case analysis to the assumption list. KEYWORDS tactic, cases. DESCRIBE See {STRUCT_CASES_TAC}. FAILURE Fails unless provided with a theorem that is a conjunction of (possibly multiply existentially quantified) terms which assert the equality of a variable with some given terms. EXAMPLE Suppose we have the goal: ~(l:(*)list = []) ?- (LENGTH l) > 0 then we can get rid of the universal quantifier from the inbuilt list theorem {list_CASES}: list_CASES = !l. (l = []) \/ (?t h. l = CONS h t) and then use {FULL_STRUCT_CASES_TAC}. This amounts to applying the following tactic: FULL_STRUCT_CASES_TAC (SPEC_ALL list_CASES) which results in the following two subgoals: ~(CONS h t = []) ?- (LENGTH(CONS h t)) > 0 ~([] = []) ?- (LENGTH[]) > 0 Note that this is a rather simple case, since there are no constraints, and therefore the resulting subgoals have no extra assumptions. USES Generating a case split from the axioms specifying a structure.
