GUARD-EVALUATION-EXAMPLES-LOG

log showing combinations of defun-modes and guard-checking
Major Section:  GUARD

See guard-evaluation-examples-script for a script that shows the interaction of defun-modes with the value set by set-guard-checking. Here, we present a log resulting from running this script (using ACL2 Version 3.0, built on Allegro Common Lisp).

See set-guard-checking for discussion of the interaction between defun-modes and guard-checking that is illustrated by this script. Also see guard-evaluation-table for a succinct table, with associated discussion, that covers in detail the interactions illustrated here.

For the admission of FACT we will use the relation O< (which is known to be well-founded on the domain recognized by O-P) and the measure (ACL2-COUNT X). The non-trivial part of the measure conjecture is

Goal (IMPLIES (POSP X) (O< (ACL2-COUNT (+ -1 X)) (ACL2-COUNT X))).

By the simple :definition POSP we reduce the conjecture to

Goal' (IMPLIES (AND (INTEGERP X) (< 0 X)) (O< (ACL2-COUNT (+ -1 X)) (ACL2-COUNT X))).

But we reduce the conjecture to T, by case analysis.

Q.E.D.

That completes the proof of the measure theorem for FACT. Thus, we admit this function under the principle of definition. We observe that the type of FACT is described by the theorem (AND (INTEGERP (FACT X)) (< 0 (FACT X))). We used the :compound-recognizer rule POSP-COMPOUND-RECOGNIZER and primitive type reasoning.
