This is a fairly large commit (around 140 files and 7000 lines of code
impacted), it will cause some troubles for sure (I've listed the know
regressions below, there is bound to be more).
At this state of developpement it brings few features to the user, as
the old tactics were
ported with no change. Changes are on the side of the developer mostly.
Here comes a list of the major changes. I will stay brief, but the code
is hopefully well documented so that it is reasonably easy to infer the
details from it.
Feature developer-side:
* Primitives for a "real" refine tactic (generating a goal for each
evar).
* Abstract type of tactics, goals and proofs
* Tactics can act on several goals (formally all the focused goals). An
interesting consequence of this is that the tactical (. ; [ . | ... ])
can be separated in two
tacticals (. ; .) and ( [ . | ... ] ) (although there is a conflict for
this particular syntax). We can also imagine a tactic to reorder the
goals.
* Possibility for a tactic to pass a value to following tactics (a
typical example is
an intro function which tells the following tactics which name it
introduced).
* backtracking primitives for tactics (it is now possible to implement a
tactical '+'
with (a+b);c equivalent to (a;c+b;c) (itself equivalent to
(a;c||b;c)). This is a valuable
tool to implement tactics like "auto" without nowing of the
implementation of tactics.
* A notion of proof modes, which allows to dynamically change the parser
for tactics. It is controlled at user level with the keywords Set
Default Proof Mode (this is the proof mode which is loaded at the start
of each proof) and Proof Mode (switches the proof mode of the current
proof) to control them.
* A new primitive Evd.fold_undefined which operates like an Evd.fold,
except it only goes through the evars whose body is Evar_empty. This is
a common operation throughout the code,
some of the fold-and-test-if-empty occurences have been replaced by
fold_undefined. For now,
it is only implemented as a fold-and-test, but we expect to have some
optimisations coming some day, as there can be a lot of evars in an
evar_map with this new implementation (I've observed a couple of
thousands), whereas there are rarely more than a dozen undefined ones.
Folding being a linear operation, this might result in a significant
speed-up.
* The declarative mode has been moved into the plugins. This is made
possible by the proof mode feature. I tried to document it so that it
can serve as a tutorial for a tactic mode plugin.
Features user-side:
* Unfocus does not go back to the root of the proof if several Focus-s
have been performed.
It only goes back to the point where it was last focused.
* experimental (non-documented) support of keywords
BeginSubproof/EndSubproof:
BeginSubproof focuses on first goal, one can unfocus only with
EndSubproof, and only
if the proof is completed for that goal.
* experimental (non-documented) support for bullets ('+', '-' and '*')
they act as hierarchical BeginSubproof/EndSubproof:
First time one uses '+' (for instance) it focuses on first goal, when
the subproof is
completed, one can use '+' again which unfocuses and focuses on next
first goal.
Meanwhile, one cas use '*' (for instance) to focus more deeply.
Known regressions:
* The xml plugin had some functions related to proof trees. As the
structure of proof changed significantly, they do not work anymore.
* I do not know how to implement info or show script in this new engine.
Actually I don't even know what they were suppose to actually mean in
earlier versions either. I wager they would require some calm thinking
before going back to work.
* Declarative mode not entirely working (in particular proofs by
induction need to be restored).
* A bug in the inversion tactic (observed in some contributions)
* A bug in Program (observed in some contributions)
* Minor change in the 'old' type of tactics causing some contributions
to fail.
* Compilation time takes about 10-15% longer for unknown reasons (I
suspect it might be linked to the fact that I don't perform any
reduction at QED-s, and also to some linear operations on evar_map-s
(see Evd.fold_undefined above)).

==========
This big patch is commited here with a HUGE experimental tag on it. It
is probably not a finished job. The aim of committing it now, as
agreed with Hugo, is to get some feedback from potential users to
identify more clearly the directions the implementation could take. So
please feel free to mail me any remarks, bug reports or advices at
<puech@cs.unibo.it>.
Here are the changes induced by it :
For the user
============
* Search tools have been reimplemented to be faster and more
general. Affected are [SearchPattern], [SearchRewrite] and [Search]
(not [SearchAbout] yet). Changes are:
- All of them accept general constructions, and previous syntactical
limitations are abolished. In particular, one can for example
[SearchPattern (nat -> Prop)], which will find [isSucc], but also
[le], [gt] etc.
- Patterns are typed. This means that you cannot search mistyped
expressions anymore. I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing
though (especially regarding coercions)...
* New tool to automatically infer (some) Record/Typeclasses instances.
Usage : [Record/Class *Infer* X := ...] flags a record/class as
subject to instance search. There is also an option to
activate/deactivate the search [Set/Unset Autoinstance]. It works
by finding combinations of definitions (actually all kinds of
objects) which forms a record instance, possibly parameterized. It
is activated at two moments:
- A complete search is done when defining a new record, to find all
possible instances that could have been formed with past
definitions. Example:
Require Import List.
Record Infer Monoid A (op:A->A->A) e :=
{ assoc : forall x y z, op x (op y z) = op (op x y) z;
idl : forall x, x = op x e ;
idr : forall x, x = op e x }.
new instance Monoid_autoinstance_1 : (Monoid nat plus 0)
[...]
- At each new declaration (Definition, Axiom, Inductive), a search
is made to find instances involving the new object. Example:
Parameter app_nil_beg : forall A (l:list A), l = nil ++ l.
new instance Build_Monoid_autoinstance_12 :
(forall H : Type, Monoid (list H) app nil) :=
(fun H : Type =>
Build_Monoid (list H) app nil ass_app (app_nil_beg H)
(app_nil_end H))
For the developper
==================
* New yet-to-be-named datastructure in [lib/dnet.ml]. Should do
efficient one-to-many or many-to-one non-linear first-order
filtering, faster than traditional methods like discrimination nets
(so yes, the name of the file should probably be changed).
* Comes with its application to Coq's terms
[pretyping/term_dnet.ml]. Terms are represented so that you can
search for patterns under products as fast as you would do not under
products, and facilities are provided to express other kind of
searches (head of application, under equality, whatever you need
that can be expressed as a pattern)
* A global repository of all objects defined and imported is
maintained [toplevel/libtypes.ml], with all search facilities
described before.
* A certain kind of proof search in [toplevel/autoinstance.ml]. For
the moment it is specialized on finding instances, but it should be
generalizable and reusable (more on this in a few months :-).
The bad news
============
* Compile time should increase by 0 to 15% (depending on the size of
the Requires done). This could be optimized greatly by not
performing substitutions on modules which are not functors I
think. There may also be some inefficiency sources left in my code
though...
* Vo's also gain a little bit of weight (20%). That's inevitable if I
wanted to store the big datastructure of objects, but could also be
optimized some more.
