How To Install libssreflect-coq on Debian 9
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libssreflect-coq on Debian 9.
What is libssreflect-coq
libssreflect-coq is:
The name Ssreflect stands for “small scale reflection”, a style of proof that evolved from the computer-checked proof of the Four Colour Theorem and which leverages the higher-order nature of Coq’s underlying logic to provide effective automation for many small, clerical proof steps. This is often accomplished by restating (“reflecting”) problems in a more concrete form, hence the name. For example, in the Ssreflect library, arithmetic comparison is not an abstract predicate, but a function computing a boolean.
The Ssreflect distribution comprises two parts:
- A new tactic language, which promotes more structured, concise and robust proof scripts, and is in fact independent from the “reflection” proof style. It is implemented as a linkable extension to the Coq system.
- A comprehensive set of Coq libraries covering topics as combinatorics and algebra.
This package installs the full Ssreflect distribution.
