The Build Cache

Kevin Lacker

There's a useful new feature in Acorn Prover 0.0.8: a build cache.

When you save changes to an Acorn project, the AI model automatically completes simple proofs with missing steps. Usually this works great, but this can make refactoring more difficult. In particular, if you make changes to a module like nat.ac that many other modules depend on, it can be slow to rebuild everything. If you want to remove a theorem that is used in many places, this can involve many slow rebuilds.
