2020-03-18Update headers in the whole code base.Théo Zimmermann
Add headers to a few files which were missing them.
2019-08-19[api] Move handling of variable implicit data to impargsEmilio Jesus Gallego Arias
We move `binder_kind` to the pretyping AST, removing the last data type in the now orphaned file `Decl_kinds`. This seems a better fit, as this data is not relevant to the lower layers but only used in `Impargs`. We also move state keeping to `Impargs`, so now implicit declaration must include the type. We also remove a duplicated function.
2019-07-08[api] Deprecate GlobRef constructors.Emilio Jesus Gallego Arias
Not pretty, but it had to be done some day, as `Globnames` seems to be on the way out. I have taken the opportunity to reduce the number of `open` in the codebase. The qualified style would indeed allow us to use a bit nicer names `GlobRef.Inductive` instead of `IndRef`, etc... once we have the tooling to do large-scale refactoring that could be tried.

2019-05-24Use global env in numeral and string notationsMaxime Dénès
Since their introduction, these notations were incorrectly using the proof-local environment.
2019-03-20Stop accessing proof env via Pfedit in printersMaxime Dénès
This should make https://github.com/coq/coq/pull/9129 easier.

2018-11-28Add `String Notation` vernacular like `Numeral Notation`Jason Gross
Users can now register string notations for custom inductives. Much of the code and documentation was copied from numeral notations. I chose to use a 256-constructor inductive for primitive string syntax because (a) it is easy to convert between character codes and constructors, and (b) it is more efficient than the existing `ascii` type. Some choices about proofs of the new `byte` type were made based on efficiency. For example, https://github.com/coq/coq/issues/8517 means that we cannot simply use `Scheme Equality` for this type, and I have taken some care to ensure that the proofs of decidable equality and conversion are fast. (Unfortunately, the `Init/Byte.v` file is the slowest one in the prelude (it takes a couple of seconds to build), and I'm not sure where the slowness is.) In String.v, some uses of `0` as a `nat` were replaced by `O`, because the file initially refused to check interactively otherwise (it complained that `0` could not be interpreted in `string_scope` before loading `Coq.Strings.String`). There is unfortunately a decent amount of code duplication between numeral notations and string notations. I have not put too much thought into chosing names; most names have been chosen to be similar to numeral notations, though I chose the name `byte` from https://github.com/coq/coq/issues/8483#issuecomment-421671785. Unfortunately, this feature does not support declaring string syntax for `list ascii`, unless that type is wrapped in a record or other inductive type. This is not a fundamental limitation; it should be relatively easy for someone who knows the API of the reduction machinery in Coq to extend both this and numeral notations to support any type whose hnf starts with an inductive type. (The reason for needing an inductive type to bottom out at is that this is how the plugin determines what constructors are the entry points for printing the given notation. However, see also https://github.com/coq/coq/issues/8964 for complications that are more likely to arise if inductive type families are supported.) N.B. I generated the long lists of constructors for the `byte` type with short python scripts. Closes #8853
