Hi

You should try to

Set Printing Depth 10000.

I suggest you also set Printing Width to something bigger than the default value.

Hope this helps

Dear Coq-club

If we have :

Lemma answer : answer(Q) = 42.
Proof.
apply Answer_to_the_Ultimate_Question_of_Life_the_Universe_and_Everything.
Qed.

And then do:

Print answer.

We get a proof object that we can use to rebuild the proof and lemma:

Definition answer := fun x => blablabla.

My problem is as follow. When I do the Print answer I get a really big ProofObject (nothing wrong with that) but when I want to use that proof object to directly feed it into another definition, I get the following error:

Syntax error: [constr:lconstr] expected after ':' (in [constr:open_binders]).

This is due to in the line that some "..." that appeared.  A few lines later I also have this chunk of code :

   (fun e : ℕ =>
     match ... with
     | ... False
     | ... False
     | ... False
     | ... False
     | ... False
     | ... False
     | ... False
     | ... True
     | ... False
     end) I 16%nat Ha'7

Which I'm pretty sure won't be parsed (this does not look like correct Galina).

How can I make sure that the proof term that I get will be correct (The proof term is 20 000 character long) ?
Or in other word how to print the full Proof Object ?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The motivation of this approach is as follow :

All the 'apply/eapply', 'repeat', 'match' are building the proof term. But finding the right lemma with eauto etc is long and slow.
The time to typecheck a Proof with the QED is decently faster.

Thus what about using the proofobject directly as a definition and skip the whole "building proof via tactial" step
and feed it to the typechecker.
