Topic: Get decidable_eq from classical
Marcus Rossel (May 15 2021 at 13:32):
What is the right incantation for automatically getting decidable_eq
instances as type class arguments?
For example, if we have:
import data.finset
inductive t1
inductive t2
def t1_to_t2 : t1 → t2 := sorry
def t_image (f : finset t1) : finset t2 :=
f.image t1_to_t2
The last line has the error:
failed to synthesize type class instance for
f : finset t1
⊢ decidable_eq t2
The only way I know how to fix this, using classical
, is:
noncomputable def t_image (f : finset t1) : finset t2 :=
@finset.image _ _ (classical.dec_eq _) t1_to_t2 f
Is there a simpler way, where I don't have to provide the type class instance explicitly?
Thanks :)
