the solve_eqs_tactic is to be replaced by a re-implementation that uses solve_eqs in the simplifiers directory.
The re-implementation should address efficiency issues with the previous code.
At this point it punts on low level proofs. The plan is to use coarser
dependency tracking instead of low level proofs for pre-processing. Dependencies can be converted into a proof hint representation that can be checked using a stronger checker.
simplifiers layer is a common substrate for global non-incremental and incremental processing.
The first two layers are new, but others are to be ported form tactics.
- bv::slice - rewrites equations to cut-dice-slice bit-vector extractions until they align. It creates opportunities for rewriting portions of bit-vectors to common sub-expressions, including values.
- euf::completion - generalizes the KB simplifcation from asserted formulas to use the E-graph to establish a global and order-independent canonization.
The interface dependent_expr_simplifier is amenable to forming tactics. Plugins for asserted-formulas is also possible but not yet realized.
