2016-02-09CLEANUP: Context.{Rel,Named}.Declaration.tMatej Kosik
Originally, rel-context was represented as: Context.rel_context = Names.Name.t * Constr.t option * Constr.t Now it is represented as: Context.Rel.t = LocalAssum of Names.Name.t * Constr.t | LocalDef of Names.Name.t * Constr.t * Constr.t Originally, named-context was represented as: Context.named_context = Names.Id.t * Constr.t option * Constr.t Now it is represented as: Context.Named.t = LocalAssum of Names.Id.t * Constr.t | LocalDef of Names.Id.t * Constr.t * Constr.t Motivation: (1) In "tactics/hipattern.ml4" file we define "test_strict_disjunction" function which looked like this: let test_strict_disjunction n lc = Array.for_all_i (fun i c -> match (prod_assum (snd (decompose_prod_n_assum n c))) with | [_,None,c] -> isRel c && Int.equal (destRel c) (n - i) | _ -> false) 0 lc Suppose that you do not know about rel-context and named-context. (that is the case of people who just started to read the source code) Merlin would tell you that the type of the value you are destructing by "match" is: 'a * 'b option * Constr.t (* worst-case scenario *) or Named.Name.t * Constr.t option * Constr.t (* best-case scenario (?) *) To me, this is akin to wearing an opaque veil. It is hard to figure out the meaning of the values you are looking at. In particular, it is hard to discover the connection between the value we are destructing above and the datatypes and functions defined in the "kernel/context.ml" file. In this case, the connection is there, but it is not visible (between the function above and the "Context" module). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now consider, what happens when the reader see the same function presented in the following form: let test_strict_disjunction n lc = Array.for_all_i (fun i c -> match (prod_assum (snd (decompose_prod_n_assum n c))) with | [LocalAssum (_,c)] -> isRel c && Int.equal (destRel c) (n - i) | _ -> false) 0 lc If the reader haven't seen "LocalAssum" before, (s)he can use Merlin to jump to the corresponding definition and learn more. In this case, the connection is there, and it is directly visible (between the function above and the "Context" module). (2) Also, if we already have the concepts such as: - local declaration - local assumption - local definition and we describe these notions meticulously in the Reference Manual, then it is a real pity not to reinforce the connection of the actual code with the abstract description we published.

2014-09-12Referring to evars by names. Added a parser for evars (but parsing ofHugo Herbelin
instances still to do). Using heuristics to name after the quantifier name it comes. Also added a "sigma" to almost all printing functions.
2014-07-21Unifying locate code, also making it more powerful: it is now able to findPierre-Marie Pédrot
any prefix of the given qualid.
2014-07-21Adding a new "Locate Term" command, distinct from the raw "Locate" command.Pierre-Marie Pédrot
The new Term version has essentially the same behaviour as the old "Locate", while the new raw searches for all types of objects. Also code merging with the "Locate Ltac". Fixes bug #3380.
2014-07-21More complete printing of Ltac location, akin to the term-dedicated Locate ↵Pierre-Marie Pédrot
command.
2014-03-05Remove many superfluous 'open' indicated by ocamlc -w +33Pierre Letouzey
With ocaml 4.01, the 'unused open' warning also checks the mli :-) Beware: some open are reported as useless when compiling with camlp5, but are necessary for compatibility with camlp4. These open are now marked with a comment.
