2013-12-30Support for evars and metas in native compiler.Maxime Dénès
Experimental. Turned out to be much harder to implement than I thought. The main issue is that the reification in the native compiler and the VM is not quite untyped. Indeed, type annotations for lambdas have to be reconstructed. Hence, when reifying an application u = t a1 ... an, the type of t has to be known or reconstructed. It is always possible to do so in plain CIC, when u is in normal form and its type is known. However, with partial terms this may no longer be the case, as in: ?1 a1 ... an. So we also compile and evaluate the type of evars and metas. This still has to be tested more extensively, but the correction of the kernel native conversion (on terms without evars or metas) should not be impacted. Much of this could be reused for the VM.
2013-12-28Removing native_name reference from constant_body.Maxime Dénès
For now, this reference (renamed to link_info) has been moved to the environment (for constants and inductive types). But this is only a first step towards making the native compiler more functional.

2013-01-22New implementation of the conversion test, using normalization by evaluation tomdenes
native OCaml code. Warning: the "retroknowledge" mechanism has not been ported to the native compiler, because integers and persistent arrays will ultimately be defined as primitive constructions. Until then, computation on numbers may be faster using the VM, since it takes advantage of machine integers. git-svn-id: svn+ssh://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/coq/trunk@16136 85f007b7-540e-0410-9357-904b9bb8a0f7
