Topic: lean can't synth argument for instance
Nir Paz (Nov 28 2024 at 10:46):
I can't get typeclasses with an IsLimit
assumption to synthesize properly:
import Mathlib
open Set
instance instNoMaxOrderIio {o : Ordinal} {h : o.IsLimit} : NoMaxOrder (Iio o) :=
sorry
example {o : Ordinal} {h : o.IsLimit} : NoMaxOrder (Iio o) := instNoMaxOrderIio -- can't synth argument h
The problem is really that by infer_instance
doesn't work, so I have to start some proofs with explicitly proving a few instances similar to this one (Nonempty (Iio o)
is another common one). Is there a better way to deal with this?

You can use docs#Fact

That's cool! I'll give it a try
