<h2>DEFSTUB</h2>stub-out a function symbol
<pre>Major Section:  <a href="EVENTS.html">EVENTS</a>
</pre><p>


<pre>
Examples:
ACL2 !&gt;(defstub subr1 (* * state) =&gt; (mv * state))
ACL2 !&gt;(defstub add-hash (* * hash-table) =&gt; hash-table)
<p>
General Forms:
(defstub name args-sig =&gt; output-sig)
(defstub name args-sig =&gt; output-sig :doc doc-string)
</pre>
<p>

<code>Name</code> is a new function symbol and <code>(name . args-sig) =&gt; output-sig)</code>
is a <a href="SIGNATURE.html">signature</a>.  If the optional <code><a href="DOC-STRING.html">doc-string</a></code> is supplied
it should be a documentation string.  See also the ``Old Style''
heading below.<p>

<code>Defstub</code> macro expands into an <code><a href="ENCAPSULATE.html">encapsulate</a></code> event
(see <a href="ENCAPSULATE.html">encapsulate</a>).  Thus, no axioms are available about <code>name</code>
but it may be used wherever a function of the given signature is
permitted.<p>

Old Style:

<pre>
Old Style General Form:
(defstub name formals output)
(defstub name formals output :doc doc-string)
</pre>
 
where <code>name</code> is a new function symbol, <code>formals</code> is its list of
formal parameters, and <code>output</code> is either a symbol (indicating
that the function returns one result) or a term of the form
<code>(mv s1 ... sn)</code>, where each <code>si</code> is a symbol (indicating that the
function returns <code>n</code> results).  Whether and where the symbol
<code><a href="STATE.html">state</a></code> occurs in <code>formals</code> and <code>output</code> indicates how the
function handles <a href="STATE.html">state</a>.  It should be the case that 
<code>(name formals output)</code> is in fact a signature (see <a href="SIGNATURE.html">signature</a>).<p>

Note that with the old style notation it is impossible to stub-out
a function that uses any single-threaded object other than state.
The old style is preserved for compatibility with earlier versions of
ACL2.
