Advances in ACL2 Proof Debugging Tools

Abstract

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.
