But -remember: ``garbage in, garbage out''. - -\paragraph{\Coq\ material inside documentation.} -\Coq\ material is quoted between the -delimiters \texttt{[} and \texttt{]}.

The former must be followed by a newline and the latter -must follow a newline. - -\paragraph{Pretty-printing.} -\coqdoc\ uses different faces for identifiers and keywords. -The pretty-printing of \Coq\ tokens (identifiers or symbols) can be -controlled using one of the following commands: -\begin{alltt} -(** printing \emph{token} %...\LaTeX...% #...HTML...# *) -\end{alltt} -or -\begin{alltt} -(** printing \emph{token} $...\LaTeX\ math...$ #...HTML...# *) -\end{alltt} -It gives the \LaTeX\ and HTML texts to be produced for the given \Coq\ -token.

A list ends when a line of text starts at or before -the level of indenting of the list's dash. A list item's dash must -always be the first non-space character on its line (so, in -particular, a list can not begin on the first line of a comment - -start it on the second line instead). - -Example: -\begin{verbatim} - We go by induction on [n]: - - If [n] is 0... - - If [n] is [S n'] we require... - - two paragraphs of reasoning, and two subcases: - - - In the first case... - - In the second case... - - So the theorem holds. -\end{verbatim} - -\paragraph{Rules.} -More than 4 leading dashes produce a horizontal rule. - -\paragraph{Emphasis.} -Text can be italicized by placing it in underscores. A non-identifier -character must precede the leading underscore and follow the trailing -underscore, so that uses of underscores in names aren't mistaken for -emphasis. Usually, these are spaces or punctuation. - -\begin{verbatim} - This sentence contains some _emphasized text_. -\end{verbatim} - -\paragraph{Escaping to \LaTeX\ and HTML.} -Pure \LaTeX\ or HTML material can be inserted using the following -escape sequences: -\begin{itemize} -\item \verb+$...LaTeX stuff...$+ inserts some \LaTeX\ material in math mode. - Simply discarded in HTML output. - -\item \verb+%...LaTeX stuff...%+ inserts some \LaTeX\ material. - Simply discarded in HTML output. - -\item \verb+#...HTML stuff...#+ inserts some HTML material.

The main piece of +metadata needed in order to build the project are the command line +options to ``coqc`` (e.g. ``-R``, ``-I``, see also: Section +:ref:`bycommandline`). Collecting the list of files and options is the job +of the ``_CoqProject`` file. + +A simple example of a ``_CoqProject`` file follows: + +:: + + -R theories/ MyCode + theories/foo.v + theories/bar.v + -I src/ + src/baz.ml4 + src/bazaux.ml + src/qux_plugin.mlpack + + +Currently, both |CoqIDE| and |ProofGeneral| (version ≥ ``4.3pre``) +understand ``_CoqProject`` files and invoke |Coq| with the desired options. + +The ``coq_makefile`` utility can be used to set up a build infrastructure +for the |Coq| project based on makefiles. The recommended way of +invoking ``coq_makefile`` is the following one: + +:: + + coq_makefile -f _CoqProject -o CoqMakefile + + +Such command generates the following files: + +CoqMakefile + is a generic makefile for ``GNU Make`` that provides + targets to build the project (both ``.v`` and ``.ml*`` files), to install it + system-wide in the ``coq-contrib`` directory (i.e. where |Coq| is installed) + as well as to invoke |coqdoc| to generate |HTML| documentation. + +CoqMakefile.conf + contains make variables assignments that reflect + the contents of the ``_CoqProject`` file as well as the path relevant to + |Coq|. + + +An optional file ``CoqMakefile.local`` can be provided by the user in order to +extend ``CoqMakefile``.

Extension points are documented in +paragraph :ref:`coqmakefile:local`. + +The extensions of the files listed in ``_CoqProject`` is used in order to +decide how to build them. In particular: + + ++ |Coq| files must use the ``.v`` extension ++ |OCaml| files must use the ``.ml`` or ``.mli`` extension ++ |OCaml| files that require pre processing for syntax + extensions (like ``VERNAC EXTEND``) must use the ``.ml4`` extension ++ In order to generate a plugin one has to list all |OCaml| + modules (i.e. ``Baz`` for ``baz.ml``) in a ``.mlpack`` file (or ``.mllib`` + file). + + +The use of ``.mlpack`` files has to be preferred over ``.mllib`` files, +since it results in a “packed” plugin: All auxiliary modules (as +``Baz`` and ``Bazaux``) are hidden inside the plugin’s “name space” +(``Qux_plugin``). This reduces the chances of begin unable to load two +distinct plugins because of a clash in their auxiliary module names. + +.. _coqmakefilelocal: + +CoqMakefile.local ++++++++++++++++++ + + + +The optional file ``CoqMakefile.local`` is included by the generated +file ``CoqMakefile``.

To provide additional target + (``.PHONY`` or not) please use ``CoqMakefile.local``. + + + +Modules dependencies +-------------------- + +In order to compute modules dependencies (so to use ``make``), |Coq| comes +with an appropriate tool, ``coqdep``. + +``coqdep`` computes inter-module dependencies for |Coq| and |OCaml| +programs, and prints the dependencies on the standard output in a +format readable by make. When a directory is given as argument, it is +recursively looked at. + +Dependencies of |Coq| modules are computed by looking at ``Require`` +commands (``Require``, ``Require Export``, ``Require Import``), but also at the +command ``Declare ML Module``. + +Dependencies of |OCaml| modules are computed by looking at +`open` commands and the dot notation *module.value*. However, this is +done approximately and you are advised to use ``ocamldep`` instead for the +|OCaml| modules dependencies. + +See the man page of ``coqdep`` for more details and options. + +The build infrastructure generated by ``coq_makefile`` uses ``coqdep`` to +automatically compute the dependencies among the files part of the +project. + + +Documenting |Coq| files with coqdoc +----------------------------------- + +|coqdoc| is a documentation tool for the proof assistant |Coq|, similar to +``javadoc`` or ``ocamldoc``. The task of |coqdoc| is + + +#. to produce a nice |Latex| and/or |HTML| document from the |Coq| + sources, readable for a human and not only for the proof assistant; +#. to help the user navigating in his own (or third-party) sources. + + + +Principles +~~~~~~~~~~ + +Documentation is inserted into |Coq| files as *special comments*. Thus +your files will compile as usual, whether you use |coqdoc| or not. |coqdoc| +presupposes that the given |Coq| files are well-formed (at least +lexically). Documentation starts with ``(**``, followed by a space, and +ends with the pending ``*)``. The documentation format is inspired by Todd +A. Coram’s *Almost Free Text (AFT)* tool: it is mainly ``ASCII`` text with +some syntax-light controls, described below. |coqdoc| is robust: it +shouldn’t fail, whatever the input is. But remember: “garbage in, +garbage out”. + + +|Coq| material inside documentation. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + +|Coq| material is quoted between the delimiters ``[`` and ``]``. Square brackets +may be nested, the inner ones being understood as being part of the +quoted code (thus you can quote a term like ``fun x => u`` by writing ``[fun +x => u]``). Inside quotations, the code is pretty-printed in the same +way as it is in code parts. + +Pre-formatted vernacular is enclosed by ``[[`` and ``]]``. The former must be +followed by a newline and the latter must follow a newline. + + +Pretty-printing. +++++++++++++++++ + +|coqdoc| uses different faces for identifiers and keywords. The pretty- +printing of |Coq| tokens (identifiers or symbols) can be controlled +using one of the following commands: + +:: + + + (** printing *token* %...LATEX...% #...html...# *) + + +or + +:: + + + (** printing *token* $...LATEX math...$ #...html...# *) + + +It gives the |Latex| and |HTML| texts to be produced for the given |Coq| +token. One of the |Latex| or |HTML| text may be omitted, causing the +default pretty-printing to be used for this token. + +The printing for one token can be removed with + +:: + + + (** remove printing *token* *) + + +Initially, the pretty-printing table contains the following mapping: + +==== === ==== ===== === ==== ==== === +`->` → `<-` ← `*` × +`<=` ≤ `>=` ≥ `=>` ⇒ +`<>` ≠ `<->` ↔ `|-` ⊢ +`\/` ∨ `/\` ∧ `~` ¬ +==== === ==== ===== === ==== ==== === + +Any of these can be overwritten or suppressed using the printing +commands. + +.. note :: + The recognition of tokens is done by a (``ocaml``) lex + automaton and thus applies the longest-match rule. For instance, `->~` + is recognized as a single token, where |Coq| sees two tokens. It is the + responsibility of the user to insert space between tokens *or* to give + pretty-printing rules for the possible combinations, e.g. + + :: + + (** printing ->~ %\ensuremath{\rightarrow\lnot}% *) + + + +Sections. ++++++++++ + +Sections are introduced by 1 to 4 leading stars (i.e. at the beginning +of the line) followed by a space. One star is a section, two stars a +sub-section, etc. The section title is given on the remaining of the +line. + +.. example:: + + :: + + (** * Well-founded relations + + In this section, we introduce... *) + + +Lists. +++++++ + +List items are introduced by a leading dash. coqdoc uses whitespace to +determine the depth of a new list item and which text belongs in which +list items. A list ends when a line of text starts at or before the +level of indenting of the list’s dash. A list item’s dash must always +be the first non-space character on its line (so, in particular, a +list can not begin on the first line of a comment - start it on the +second line instead). + +.. example:: + + :: + + We go by induction on [n]: + - If [n] is 0... + - If [n] is [S n'] we require... + + two paragraphs of reasoning, and two subcases: + + - In the first case... + - In the second case... + + So the theorem holds. + + + +Rules. +++++++ + +More than 4 leading dashes produce a horizontal rule. + + +Emphasis. ++++++++++ + +Text can be italicized by placing it in underscores. A non-identifier +character must precede the leading underscore and follow the trailing +underscore, so that uses of underscores in names aren’t mistaken for +emphasis. Usually, these are spaces or punctuation. + +:: + + This sentence contains some _emphasized text_. + + + +Escaping to |Latex| and |HTML|. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + +Pure |Latex| or |HTML| material can be inserted using the following +escape sequences: + + ++ ``$...LATEX stuff...$`` inserts some |Latex| material in math mode. + Simply discarded in |HTML| output. ++ ``%...LATEX stuff...%`` inserts some |Latex| material. Simply + discarded in |HTML| output. ++ ``#...HTML stuff...#`` inserts some |HTML| material. Simply discarded in + |Latex| output. + +.. note:: + to simply output the characters ``$``, ``%`` and ``#`` and escaping + their escaping role, these characters must be doubled. + + +Verbatim +++++++++ + +Verbatim material is introduced by a leading ``<<`` and closed by ``>>`` +at the beginning of a line. + +.. example:: + + :: + + Here is the corresponding caml code: + << + let rec fact n = + if n <= 1 then 1 else n * fact (n-1) + >> + + + +Hyperlinks +++++++++++ + +Hyperlinks can be inserted into the |HTML| output, so that any +identifier is linked to the place of its definition. + +``coqc file.v`` automatically dumps localization information in +``file.glob`` or appends it to a file specified using option ``--dump-glob +file``. Take care of erasing this global file, if any, when starting +the whole compilation process. + +Then invoke |coqdoc| or ``coqdoc --glob-from file`` to tell |coqdoc| to look +for name resolutions into the file ``file`` (it will look in ``file.glob`` +by default). + +Identifiers from the |Coq| standard library are linked to the Coq web +site at `<http://coq.inria.fr/library/>`_. This behavior can be changed +using command line options ``--no-externals`` and ``--coqlib``; see below. + + +Hiding / Showing parts of the source. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + +Some parts of the source can be hidden using command line options ``-g`` +and ``-l`` (see below), or using such comments: + +:: + + + (* begin hide *) + *some Coq material* + (* end hide *) + + +Conversely, some parts of the source which would be hidden can be +shown using such comments: + +:: + + + (* begin show *) + *some Coq material* + (* end show *) + + +The latter cannot be used around some inner parts of a proof, but can +be used around a whole proof. + + +Usage +~~~~~ + +|coqdoc| is invoked on a shell command line as follows: +``coqdoc <options and files>``. +Any command line argument which is not an option is considered to be a +file (even if it starts with a ``-``). |Coq| files are identified by the +suffixes ``.v`` and ``.g`` and |Latex| files by the suffix ``.tex``. + + +:|HTML| output: This is the default output. One |HTML| file is created for + each |Coq| file given on the command line, together with a file + ``index.html`` (unless ``option-no-index is passed``). The |HTML| pages use a + style sheet named ``style.css``. Such a file is distributed with |coqdoc|. +:|Latex| output: A single |Latex| file is created, on standard + output.

Default is + + :: + + \newcommand{\coqdocmodule}[1]{\section*{Module #1}} + + and you may redefine it using ``\renewcommand``. + +Embedded Coq phrases inside |Latex| documents +--------------------------------------------- + +When writing a documentation about a proof development, one may want +to insert |Coq| phrases inside a |Latex| document, possibly together +with the corresponding answers of the system. We provide a mechanical +way to process such |Coq| phrases embedded in |Latex| files: the ``coq-tex`` +filter. This filter extracts |Coq| phrases embedded in |Latex| files, +evaluates them, and insert the outcome of the evaluation after each +phrase. + +Starting with a file ``file.tex`` containing |Coq| phrases, the ``coq-tex`` +filter produces a file named ``file.v.tex`` with the Coq outcome. + +There are options to produce the |Coq| parts in smaller font, italic, +between horizontal rules, etc. See the man page of ``coq-tex`` for more +details. + +|Coq| and |GNU| |Emacs| +----------------------- + + +The |Coq| |Emacs| mode +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +|Coq| comes with a Major mode for |GNU| |Emacs|, ``gallina.el``. This mode +provides syntax highlighting and also a rudimentary indentation +facility in the style of the ``Caml`` |GNU| |Emacs| mode. + +Add the following lines to your ``.emacs`` file: + +:: + + (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.v$" . coq-mode) auto-mode-alist)) + (autoload 'coq-mode "gallina" "Major mode for editing Coq vernacular." t) + + +The |Coq| major mode is triggered by visiting a file with extension ``.v``, +or manually with the command ``M-x coq-mode``. It gives you the correct +syntax table for the |Coq| language, and also a rudimentary indentation +facility: + + ++ pressing ``Tab`` at the beginning of a line indents the line like the + line above; ++ extra ``Tab``s increase the indentation level (by 2 spaces by default); ++ ``M-Tab`` decreases the indentation level. + + +An inferior mode to run |Coq| under |Emacs|, by Marco Maggesi, is also +included in the distribution, in file ``inferior-coq.el``. Instructions to +use it are contained in this file. + + +Proof General +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +|ProofGeneral| is a generic interface for proof assistants based on +|Emacs|. The main idea is that the |Coq| commands you are editing are sent +to a |Coq| toplevel running behind |Emacs| and the answers of the system +automatically inserted into other |Emacs| buffers. Thus you don’t need +to copy-paste the |Coq| material from your files to the |Coq| toplevel or +conversely from the |Coq| toplevel to some files. + +|ProofGeneral| is developed and distributed independently of the system +|Coq|. It is freely available at `<https://proofgeneral.github.io/>`_. + + +Module specification +-------------------- + +Given a |Coq| vernacular file, the gallina filter extracts its +specification (inductive types declarations, definitions, type of +lemmas and theorems), removing the proofs parts of the file. The |Coq| +file ``file.v`` gives birth to the specification file ``file.g`` (where +the suffix ``.g`` stands for |Gallina|). + +See the man page of ``gallina`` for more details and options. + + +Man pages +--------- + +There are man pages for the commands ``coqdep``, ``gallina`` and ``coq-tex``.

He can also use some other specialized commands called +*tactics*. They are the very tools allowing the user to deal with +logical reasoning. They are documented in Chapter :ref:`tactics`. +When switching in editing proof mode, the prompt ``Coq <`` is changed into +``ident <`` where ``ident`` is the declared name of the theorem currently +edited. + +At each stage of a proof development, one has a list of goals to +prove. Initially, the list consists only in the theorem itself.

Initially, the local context contains the local +variables and hypotheses of the current section (see Section :ref:`TODO_gallina_assumptions`) +and the local variables and hypotheses of the theorem statement. It is +enriched by the use of certain tactics (see e.g. ``intro`` in Section +:ref:`managingthelocalcontext`). + +When a proof is completed, the message ``Proof completed`` is displayed. +One can then register this proof as a defined constant in the +environment.

If the proof is not completed, this term +contain holes, which correspond to the sub-terms which are still to be +constructed. These holes appear as a question mark indexed by an +integer, and applied to the list of variables in the context, since it +may depend on them. The types obtained by abstracting away the context +from the type of each hole-placer are also printed. + +.. cmdv:: Show Conjectures. + +It prints the list of the names of all the +theorems that are currently being proved. As it is possible to start +proving a previous lemma during the proof of a theorem, this list may +contain several names. + +.. cmdv:: Show Intro. + +If the current goal begins by at least one product, +this command prints the name of the first product, as it would be +generated by an anonymous ``intro``. The aim of this command is to ease +the writing of more robust scripts. For example, with an appropriate +Proof General macro, it is possible to transform any anonymous ``intro`` +into a qualified one such as ``intro y13``. In the case of a non-product +goal, it prints nothing. + +.. cmdv:: Show Intros. + +This command is similar to the previous one, it +simulates the naming process of an intros. + +.. cmdv:: Show Existentials. + +It displays the set of all uninstantiated +existential variables in the current proof tree, along with the type +and the context of each variable. + +.. cmdv:: Show Match @ident. + +This variant displays a template of the Gallina +``match`` construct with a branch for each constructor of the type +:n:`@ident` + +.. example:: + .. coqtop:: all + + Show Match nat. + +.. exn:: Unknown inductive type + +.. exn:: Show Universes. + +It displays the set of all universe constraints and +its normalized form at the current stage of the proof, useful for +debugging universe inconsistencies. + + +.. cmd:: Guarded. + +Some tactics (e.g. refine :ref:`applyingtheorems`) allow to build proofs using +fixpoint or co-fixpoint constructions. Due to the incremental nature +of interactive proof construction, the check of the termination (or +guardedness) of the recursive calls in the fixpoint or cofixpoint +constructions is postponed to the time of the completion of the proof. + +The command ``Guarded`` allows checking if the guard condition for +fixpoint and cofixpoint is violated at some time of the construction +of the proof without having to wait the completion of the proof. + + +Controlling the effect of proof editing commands +------------------------------------------------ + + +.. opt:: Hyps Limit @num. + +This option controls the maximum number of hypotheses displayed in goals +after the application of a tactic. All the hypotheses remain usable +in the proof development. +When unset, it goes back to the default mode which is to print all +available hypotheses. + + +.. opt:: Automatic Introduction. + +This option controls the way binders are handled +in assertion commands such as ``Theorem ident [binders] : form``. When the +option is set, which is the default, binders are automatically put in +the local context of the goal to prove. + +The option can be unset by issuing ``Unset Automatic Introduction``.

The +state label is an integer which grows after each successful command. +It is displayed in the prompt when in -emacs mode. Just as ``Back`` (see +above), the ``BackTo`` command now handles proof states. For that, it may +have to undo some extra commands and end on a state `num′ ≤ num` if +necessary. + + +Variants: + + +.. cmdv:: Backtrack @num @num @num. + +`Backtrack` is a *deprecated* form of +`BackTo` which allows explicitly manipulating the proof environment. The +three numbers represent the following: + + + *first number* : State label to reach, as for BackTo. + + *second number* : *Proof state number* to unbury once aborts have been done. + |Coq| will compute the number of Undo to perform (see Chapter :ref:`TODO-7-proof-handling`). + + *third number* : Number of Abort to perform, i.e. the number of currently + opened nested proofs that must be canceled (see Chapter :ref:`TODO-7-proof-handling`). + + + + +Error messages: + + +.. exn:: Invalid backtrack + + +The destination state label is unknown. + + +.. _quitting-and-debugging: + +Quitting and debugging +-------------------------- + + +.. cmd:: Quit. + +This command permits to quit |Coq|. + + +.. cmd:: Drop. + +This is used mostly as a debug facility by |Coq|’s implementors and does +not concern the casual user. This command permits to leave |Coq| +temporarily and enter the OCaml toplevel. The OCaml +command: + + +:: + + #use "include";; + + +adds the right loadpaths and loads some toplevel printers for all +abstract types of |Coq|- section_path, identifiers, terms, judgments, …. +You can also use the file base_include instead, that loads only the +pretty-printers for section_paths and identifiers. You can return back +to |Coq| with the command: + + +:: + + go();; + + + +Warnings: + + +#. It only works with the bytecode version of |Coq| (i.e. `coqtop.byte`, + see Section `TODO-14.1-interactive-use`). +#. You must have compiled |Coq| from the source package and set the + environment variable COQTOP to the root of your copy of the sources + (see Section `14.3.2-customization-by-envionment-variables`). + + + +..

If the given :n:`@command` +fails, the ``Fail`` statement succeeds, without changing the proof +state, and in interactive mode, the system +prints a message confirming the failure. +If the given :n:`@command` succeeds, the statement is an error, and +it prints a message indicating that the failure did not occur. + +Error messages: + +.. exn:: The command has not failed! + +.. _controlling-display: + +Controlling display +----------------------- + + +.. cmd:: Set Silent. + +This command turns off the normal displaying. + + +.. cmd:: Unset Silent. + +This command turns the normal display on. + +TODO : check that spaces are handled well + +.. cmd:: Set Warnings ‘‘(@ident {* , @ident } )’’. + +This command configures the display of warnings. It is experimental, +and expects, between quotes, a comma-separated list of warning names +or categories. Adding - in front of a warning or category disables it, +adding + makes it an error. It is possible to use the special +categories all and default, the latter containing the warnings enabled +by default. The flags are interpreted from left to right, so in case +of an overlap, the flags on the right have higher priority, meaning +that `A,-A` is equivalent to `-A`. + + +.. cmd:: Set Search Output Name Only. + +This command restricts the output of search commands to identifier +names; turning it on causes invocations of ``Search``, ``SearchHead``, +``SearchPattern``, ``SearchRewrite`` etc. to omit types from their output, +printing only identifiers. + + +.. cmd:: Unset Search Output Name Only. + +This command turns type display in search results back on. + + +.. cmd:: Set Printing Width @integer. + +This command sets which left-aligned part of the width of the screen +is used for display. + + +.. cmd:: Unset Printing Width. + +This command resets the width of the screen used for display to its +default value (which is 78 at the time of writing this documentation). + + +.. cmd:: Test Printing Width. + +This command displays the current screen width used for display. + + +.. cmd:: Set Printing Depth @integer. + +This command sets the nesting depth of the formatter used for pretty- +printing.

Non compact +means that consecutive variables of different types are printed on +different lines. + + +.. cmd:: Set Printing Compact Contexts. + +This command sets the displaying of goals contexts to compact mode. +The printer tries to reduce the vertical size of goals contexts by +putting several variables (even if of different types) on the same +line provided it does not exceed the printing width (See Set Printing +Width above). + + +.. cmd:: Test Printing Compact Contexts. + +This command displays the current state of compaction of goal. + + +.. cmd:: Unset Printing Unfocused. + +This command resets the displaying of goals to focused goals only +(default). Unfocused goals are created by focusing other goals with +bullets (see :ref:`TODO-7.2.7-bullets`) or curly braces (see `7.2.6-curly-braces`). + + +.. cmd:: Set Printing Unfocused. + +This command enables the displaying of unfocused goals. The goals are +displayed after the focused ones and are distinguished by a separator. + + +.. cmd:: Test Printing Unfocused. + +This command displays the current state of unfocused goals display. + + +.. cmd:: Set Printing Dependent Evars Line. + +This command enables the printing of the “(dependent evars: …)” line +when -emacs is passed. + + +.. cmd:: Unset Printing Dependent Evars Line. + +This command disables the printing of the “(dependent evars: …)” line +when -emacs is passed. + + +Controlling the reduction strategies and the conversion algorithm +---------------------------------------------------------------------- + + +|Coq| provides reduction strategies that the tactics can invoke and two +different algorithms to check the convertibility of types. The first +conversion algorithm lazily compares applicative terms while the other +is a brute-force but efficient algorithm that first normalizes the +terms before comparing them. The second algorithm is based on a +bytecode representation of terms similar to the bytecode +representation used in the ZINC virtual machine [`98`]. It is +especially useful for intensive computation of algebraic values, such +as numbers, and for reflection-based tactics. The commands to fine- +tune the reduction strategies and the lazy conversion algorithm are +described first. + +.. cmd:: Opaque {+ @qualid }. + +This command has an effect on unfoldable constants, i.e. on constants +defined by ``Definition`` or ``Let`` (with an explicit body), or by a command +assimilated to a definition such as ``Fixpoint``, ``Program Definition``, etc, +or by a proof ended by ``Defined``. The command tells not to unfold the +constants in the :n:`@qualid` sequence in tactics using δ-conversion (unfolding +a constant is replacing it by its definition). + +``Opaque`` has also an effect on the conversion algorithm of |Coq|, telling +it to delay the unfolding of a constant as much as possible when |Coq| +has to check the conversion (see Section :ref:`TODO-4.3-conversion-rules`) of two distinct +applied constants. + +The scope of ``Opaque`` is limited to the current section, or current +file, unless the variant ``Global Opaque`` is used. + + +See also: sections :ref:`TODO-8.7-performing-computations`, :ref:`TODO-8.16-automatizing`, :ref:`TODO-7.1-switching-on-off-proof-editing-mode` + + +Error messages: + + +.. exn:: The reference @qualid was not found in the current environment + +There is no constant referred by :n:`@qualid` in the environment. +Nevertheless, if you asked ``Opaque`` `foo` `bar` and if `bar` does not exist, `foo` is set opaque. + +.. cmd:: Transparent {+ @qualid }. + +This command is the converse of `Opaque`` and it applies on unfoldable +constants to restore their unfoldability after an Opaque command. + +Note in particular that constants defined by a proof ended by Qed are +not unfoldable and Transparent has no effect on them. This is to keep +with the usual mathematical practice of *proof irrelevance*: what +matters in a mathematical development is the sequence of lemma +statements, not their actual proofs. This distinguishes lemmas from +the usual defined constants, whose actual values are of course +relevant in general. + +The scope of Transparent is limited to the current section, or current +file, unless the variant ``Global Transparent`` is +used. + + +Error messages: + + +.. exn:: The reference @qualid was not found in the current environment + +There is no constant referred by :n:`@qualid` in the environment. + + + +See also: sections :ref:`TODO-8.7-performing-computations`, :ref:`TODO-8.16-automatizing`, :ref:`TODO-7.1-switching-on-off-proof-editing-mode` + + +.. cmd:: Strategy @level [ {+ @qualid } ]. + +This command generalizes the behavior of Opaque and Transparent +commands. It is used to fine-tune the strategy for unfolding +constants, both at the tactic level and at the kernel level. This +command associates a level to the qualified names in the :n:`@qualid` +sequence. Whenever two +expressions with two distinct head constants are compared (for +instance, this comparison can be triggered by a type cast), the one +with lower level is expanded first. In case of a tie, the second one +(appearing in the cast type) is expanded. + +Levels can be one of the following (higher to lower): + + + ``opaque`` : level of opaque constants. They cannot be expanded by + tactics (behaves like +∞, see next item). + + :n:`@num` : levels indexed by an integer. Level 0 corresponds to the + default behavior, which corresponds to transparent constants. This + level can also be referred to as transparent. Negative levels + correspond to constants to be expanded before normal transparent + constants, while positive levels correspond to constants to be + expanded after normal transparent constants. + + ``expand`` : level of constants that should be expanded first (behaves + like −∞) + + +These directives survive section and module closure, unless the +command is prefixed by Local. In the latter case, the behavior +regarding sections and modules is the same as for the ``Transparent`` and +``Opaque`` commands. + + +.. cmd:: Print Strategy @qualid. + +This command prints the strategy currently associated to :n:`@qualid`. It +fails if :n:`@qualid` is not an unfoldable reference, that is, neither a +variable nor a constant. + + +Error messages: + + +.. exn:: The reference is not unfoldable. + + + +Variants: + + +.. cmdv:: Print Strategies. + +Print all the currently non-transparent strategies. + + + +.. cmd:: Declare Reduction @ident := @convtactic. + +This command allows giving a short name to a reduction expression, for +instance lazy beta delta [foo bar]. This short name can then be used +in ``Eval`` :n:`@ident` ``in`` ... or ``eval`` directives. This command +accepts the +Local modifier, for discarding this reduction name at the end of the +file or module. For the moment the name cannot be qualified. In +particular declaring the same name in several modules or in several +functor applications will be refused if these declarations are not +local. The name :n:`@ident` cannot be used directly as an Ltac tactic, but +nothing prevents the user to also perform a +``Ltac`` `ident` ``:=`` `convtactic`. + + +See also: sections :ref:`TODO-8.7-performing-computations` + + +.. _controlling-locality-of-commands: + +Controlling the locality of commands +----------------------------------------- + + +.. cmd:: Local @command. +.. cmd:: Global @command. + +Some commands support a Local or Global prefix modifier to control the +scope of their effect. There are four kinds of commands: + + ++ Commands whose default is to extend their effect both outside the + section and the module or library file they occur in. For these + commands, the Local modifier limits the effect of the command to the + current section or module it occurs in. As an example, the ``Coercion`` + (see Section :ref:`TODO-2.8-coercions`) and ``Strategy`` (see Section :ref:`TODO-6.10.3-strategy`) commands belong + to this category. ++ Commands whose default behavior is to stop their effect at the end + of the section they occur in but to extent their effect outside the + module or library file they occur in. For these commands, the Local + modifier limits the effect of the command to the current module if the + command does not occur in a section and the Global modifier extends + the effect outside the current sections and current module if the + command occurs in a section. As an example, the ``Implicit Arguments`` (see + Section :ref:`TODO-2.7-implicit-arguments`), Ltac (see Chapter :ref:`TODO-9-tactic-language`) or ``Notation`` (see Section + :ref:`TODO-12.1-notations`) commands belong to this category. Notice that a subclass of + these commands do not support extension of their scope outside + sections at all and the Global is not applicable to them. ++ Commands whose default behavior is to stop their effect at the end + of the section or module they occur in. For these commands, the Global + modifier extends their effect outside the sections and modules they + occurs in. The ``Transparent`` and ``Opaque`` (see Section :ref:`TODO-6.10-opaque`) commands belong to this category. ++ Commands whose default behavior is to extend their effect outside + sections but not outside modules when they occur in a section and to + extend their effect outside the module or library file they occur in + when no section contains them.For these commands, the Local modifier + limits the effect to the current section or module while the Global + modifier extends the effect outside the module even when the command + occurs in a section. The ``Set`` and ``Unset`` commands belong to this + category. diff --git a/doc/tools/coqrst/notations/TacticNotations.g b/doc/tools/coqrst/notations/TacticNotations.g index 5176c51d28..68658fe491 100644 --- a/doc/tools/coqrst/notations/TacticNotations.g +++ b/doc/tools/coqrst/notations/TacticNotations.g @@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ hole: ID; LGROUP: '{' [+*?]; LBRACE: '{'; RBRACE: '}'; -METACHAR: '%' [|()]; +METACHAR: '%' [|(){}]; ATOM: '@' | ~[@{} ]+; ID: '@' [a-zA-Z0-9_]+; WHITESPACE: ' '+; diff --git a/doc/tools/coqrst/notations/TacticNotationsLexer.py b/doc/tools/coqrst/notations/TacticNotationsLexer.py index ffa774b9ba..61d8d2f9e6 100644 --- a/doc/tools/coqrst/notations/TacticNotationsLexer.py +++ b/doc/tools/coqrst/notations/TacticNotationsLexer.py @@ -12,19 +12,19 @@ def serializedATN(): buf.write("\4\b\t\b\3\2\3\2\3\2\3\3\3\3\3\4\3\4\3\5\3\5\3\5\3\6\3") buf.write("\6\6\6\36\n\6\r\6\16\6\37\5\6\"\n\6\3\7\3\7\6\7&\n\7\r") buf.write("\7\16\7\'\3\b\6\b+\n\b\r\b\16\b,\2\2\t\3\3\5\4\7\5\t\6") - buf.write("\13\7\r\b\17\t\3\2\6\4\2,-AA\4\2*+~~\6\2\"\"BB}}\177\177") - buf.write("\6\2\62;C\\aac|\2\61\2\3\3\2\2\2\2\5\3\2\2\2\2\7\3\2\2") - buf.write("\2\2\t\3\2\2\2\2\13\3\2\2\2\2\r\3\2\2\2\2\17\3\2\2\2\3") - buf.write("\21\3\2\2\2\5\24\3\2\2\2\7\26\3\2\2\2\t\30\3\2\2\2\13") - buf.write("!\3\2\2\2\r#\3\2\2\2\17*\3\2\2\2\21\22\7}\2\2\22\23\t") - buf.write("\2\2\2\23\4\3\2\2\2\24\25\7}\2\2\25\6\3\2\2\2\26\27\7") - buf.write("\177\2\2\27\b\3\2\2\2\30\31\7\'\2\2\31\32\t\3\2\2\32\n") - buf.write("\3\2\2\2\33\"\7B\2\2\34\36\n\4\2\2\35\34\3\2\2\2\36\37") - buf.write("\3\2\2\2\37\35\3\2\2\2\37 \3\2\2\2 \"\3\2\2\2!\33\3\2") - buf.write("\2\2!\35\3\2\2\2\"\f\3\2\2\2#%\7B\2\2$&\t\5\2\2%$\3\2") - buf.write("\2\2&\'\3\2\2\2\'%\3\2\2\2\'(\3\2\2\2(\16\3\2\2\2)+\7") - buf.write("\"\2\2*)\3\2\2\2+,\3\2\2\2,*\3\2\2\2,-\3\2\2\2-\20\3\2") - buf.write("\2\2\7\2\37!\',\2") + buf.write("\13\7\r\b\17\t\3\2\6\4\2,-AA\4\2*+}\177\6\2\"\"BB}}\177") + buf.write("\177\6\2\62;C\\aac|\2\61\2\3\3\2\2\2\2\5\3\2\2\2\2\7\3") + buf.write("\2\2\2\2\t\3\2\2\2\2\13\3\2\2\2\2\r\3\2\2\2\2\17\3\2\2") + buf.write("\2\3\21\3\2\2\2\5\24\3\2\2\2\7\26\3\2\2\2\t\30\3\2\2\2") + buf.write("\13!\3\2\2\2\r#\3\2\2\2\17*\3\2\2\2\21\22\7}\2\2\22\23") + buf.write("\t\2\2\2\23\4\3\2\2\2\24\25\7}\2\2\25\6\3\2\2\2\26\27") + buf.write("\7\177\2\2\27\b\3\2\2\2\30\31\7\'\2\2\31\32\t\3\2\2\32") + buf.write("\n\3\2\2\2\33\"\7B\2\2\34\36\n\4\2\2\35\34\3\2\2\2\36") + buf.write("\37\3\2\2\2\37\35\3\2\2\2\37 \3\2\2\2 \"\3\2\2\2!\33\3") + buf.write("\2\2\2!\35\3\2\2\2\"\f\3\2\2\2#%\7B\2\2$&\t\5\2\2%$\3") + buf.write("\2\2\2&\'\3\2\2\2\'%\3\2\2\2\'(\3\2\2\2(\16\3\2\2\2)+") + buf.write("\7\"\2\2*)\3\2\2\2+,\3\2\2\2,*\3\2\2\2,-\3\2\2\2-\20\3") + buf.write("\2\2\2\7\2\37!\',\2") return buf.getvalue() diff --git a/doc/tools/coqrst/notations/html.py b/doc/tools/coqrst/notations/html.py index 44212d7889..9c94a4b2d7 100644 --- a/doc/tools/coqrst/notations/html.py +++ b/doc/tools/coqrst/notations/html.py @@ -43,7 +43,11 @@ class TacticNotationsToHTMLVisitor(TacticNotationsVisitor): tags.span(ctx.ID().getText()[1:], _class="hole") def visitMeta(self, ctx:TacticNotationsParser.MetaContext): - tags.span(ctx.METACHAR().getText()[1:], _class="meta") + txt = ctx.METACHAR().getText()[1:] + if (txt == "{") or (txt == "}"): + tags.span(txt) + else: + tags.span(txt, _class="meta") def visitWhitespace(self, ctx:TacticNotationsParser.WhitespaceContext): tags.span(" ") # TODO: no need for a <span> here |
