When trying to simplify a goal (instead of proving equalities),
ring_exp
will rewrite subexpressions to a normal form, then simplify this normal form by removing extraneous+ 0
s and* 1
s. Both steps return a new expression and a proof that the step's input expression equals the output expression.In some cases where the normal form and simplified form coincide,
ex.simplify
would instead output a proof that ring_exp's input expression equals the output expression, so we'd get a type error in trying to compose a proof thata = b
with a proof thata = b
.This PR fixes that bug by returning instead a proof that
b = b
, as expected.
