  Records are familiar from programming languages.  A record of $n$
  fields is essentially an $n$-tuple, but the record's components have
  names, which can make expressions easier to read and reduces the
  risk of confusing one field for another.

  A record of Isabelle/HOL covers a collection of fields, with select
  and update operations.  Each field has a specified type, which may
  be polymorphic.  The field names are part of the record type, and
  the order of the fields is significant --- as it is in Pascal but
  not in Standard ML.  If two different record types have field names
  in common, then the ambiguity is resolved in the usual way, by
  qualified names.

  Record types can also be defined by extending other record types.
  Extensible records make use of the reserved pseudo-field \cdx{more},
  which is present in every record type.  Generic record operations
  work on all possible extensions of a given type scheme; polymorphism
  takes care of structural sub-typing behind the scenes.  There are
  also explicit coercion functions between fixed record types.%

\begin{isamarkuptext}%
Record types are not primitive in Isabelle and have a delicate
  internal representation \cite{NaraschewskiW-TPHOLs98}, based on
  nested copies of the primitive product type.  A \commdx{record}
  declaration introduces a new record type scheme by specifying its
  fields, which are packaged internally to hold up the perception of
  the record as a distinguished entity.  Here is a simply example.%

\begin{isamarkuptext}%
Records of type \isa{point} have two fields named \isa{Xcoord}
  and \isa{Ycoord}, both of type~\isa{int}.  We now define a

\begin{isamarkuptext}%
We see above the ASCII notation for record brackets.  You can also
  use the symbolic brackets \isa{{\isasymlparr}} and \isa{{\isasymrparr}}.  Record type
  expressions can be also written directly with individual fields.
  The type name above is merely an abbreviations.%

For each field, there is a \emph{selector}\index{selector!record}
  function of the same name.  For example, if \isa{p} has type \isa{point} then \isa{Xcoord\ p} denotes the value of the \isa{Xcoord} field of~\isa{p}.  Expressions involving field selection
  of explicit records are simplified automatically:%

We can define generic operations that work on arbitrary instances of
  a record scheme, e.g.\ covering \isa{point}, \isa{cpoint}, and any
  further extensions.  Every record structure has an implicit
  pseudo-field, \cdx{more}, that keeps the extension as an explicit
  value.  Its type is declared as completely polymorphic:~\isa{{\isacharprime}a}.
  When a fixed record value is expressed using just its standard
  fields, the value of \isa{more} is implicitly set to \isa{{\isacharparenleft}{\isacharparenright}},
  the empty tuple, which has type \isa{unit}.  Within the record
  brackets, you can refer to the \isa{more} field by writing
  ``\isa{{\isasymdots}}'' (three dots):%

\begin{isamarkuptext}%
This lemma applies to any record whose first two fields are \isa{Xcoord} and~\isa{Ycoord}.  Note that \isa{{\isasymlparr}Xcoord\ {\isacharequal}\ a{\isacharcomma}\ Ycoord\ {\isacharequal}\ b{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymdots}\ {\isacharequal}\ {\isacharparenleft}{\isacharparenright}{\isasymrparr}} is exactly the same as \isa{{\isasymlparr}Xcoord\ {\isacharequal}\ a{\isacharcomma}\ Ycoord\ {\isacharequal}\ b{\isasymrparr}}.  Selectors and updates are always polymorphic wrt.\ the
  \isa{more} part of a record scheme, its value is just ignored (for
  select) or copied (for update).

  The \isa{more} pseudo-field may be manipulated directly as well,
  but the identifier needs to be qualified:%

\begin{isamarkuptext}%
We see that the colour part attached to this \isa{point} is a
  (rudimentary) record in its own right, namely \isa{{\isasymlparr}col\ {\isacharequal}\ Green{\isasymrparr}}.  In order to select or update \isa{col}, this fragment
  needs to be put back into the context of the parent type scheme, say
  as \isa{more} part of another \isa{point}.

  To define generic operations, we need to know a bit more about
  records.  Our definition of \isa{point} above has generated two
  type abbreviations:

  \medskip
  \begin{tabular}{l}
  \isa{point}~\isa{{\isacharequal}}~\isa{{\isasymlparr}Xcoord\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ int{\isacharcomma}\ Ycoord\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ int{\isasymrparr}} \\
  \isa{{\isacharprime}a\ point{\isacharunderscore}scheme}~\isa{{\isacharequal}}~\isa{{\isasymlparr}Xcoord\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ int{\isacharcomma}\ Ycoord\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ int{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymdots}\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isacharprime}a{\isasymrparr}} \\
  \end{tabular}
  \medskip

  Type \isa{point} is for fixed records having exactly the two fields
  \isa{Xcoord} and~\isa{Ycoord}, while the polymorphic type \isa{{\isacharprime}a\ point{\isacharunderscore}scheme} comprises all possible extensions to those two
  fields.  Note that \isa{unit\ point{\isacharunderscore}scheme} coincides with \isa{point}, and \isa{{\isasymlparr}col\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ colour{\isasymrparr}\ point{\isacharunderscore}scheme} with \isa{cpoint}.

  In the following example we define two operations --- methods, if we
  regard records as objects --- to get and set any point's \isa{Xcoord} field.%

\isamarkupsubsection{Extending and Truncating Records%
}
\isamarkuptrue%
%
\begin{isamarkuptext}%
Each record declaration introduces a number of derived operations to
  refer collectively to a record's fields and to convert between fixed
  record types.  They can, for instance, convert between types \isa{point} and \isa{cpoint}.  We can add a colour to a point or convert
  a \isa{cpoint} to a \isa{point} by forgetting its colour.

  \begin{itemize}

  \item Function \cdx{make} takes as arguments all of the record's
  fields (including those inherited from ancestors).  It returns the
  corresponding record.

  \item Function \cdx{fields} takes the record's very own fields and
  returns a record fragment consisting of just those fields.  This may
  be filled into the \isa{more} part of the parent record scheme.

  \item Function \cdx{extend} takes two arguments: a record to be
  extended and a record containing the new fields.

  \item Function \cdx{truncate} takes a record (possibly an extension
  of the original record type) and returns a fixed record, removing
  any additional fields.

  \end{itemize}

  These functions merely provide handsome abbreviations for standard
  record expressions involving constructors and selectors.  The
  definitions, which are \emph{not} unfolded by default, are made
  available by the collective name of \isa{defs} (\isa{point{\isachardot}defs}, \isa{cpoint{\isachardot}defs}, etc.).

  For example, here are the versions of those functions generated for
  record \isa{point}.  We omit \isa{point{\isachardot}fields}, which happens to
  be the same as \isa{point{\isachardot}make}.

  \begin{isabelle}%

  To demonstrate these functions, we declare a new coloured point by
  extending an ordinary point.  Function \isa{point{\isachardot}extend} augments
  \isa{pt{\isadigit{1}}} with a colour value, which is converted into an
  appropriate record fragment by \isa{cpoint{\isachardot}fields}.%

The coloured points \isa{cpt{\isadigit{1}}} and \isa{cpt{\isadigit{2}}} are equal.  The
  proof is trivial, by unfolding all the definitions.  We deliberately
  omit the definition of~\isa{pt{\isadigit{1}}} in order to reveal the underlying
  comparison on type \isa{point}.%

  Extend record \isa{cpoint} to have a further field, \isa{intensity}, of type~\isa{nat}.  Experiment with generic operations
  (using polymorphic selectors and updates) and explicit coercions
  (using \isa{extend}, \isa{truncate} etc.) among the three record
  types.
