This work addresses debugging challenges for ACL2 users, but it is incremental as it builds on existing tools.
The paper tackled the problem of debugging failed proof attempts in ACL2 by introducing improvements to the break-rewrite utility and a new utility called with-brr-data, resulting in enhanced tools for users to debug failures more effectively.
The experience of an ACL2 user generally includes many failed proof attempts. A key to successful use of the ACL2 prover is the effective use of tools to debug those failures. We focus on changes made after ACL2 Version 8.5: the improved break-rewrite utility and the new utility, with-brr-data.
