2019-02-28Show diffs in error messages if color is enabledJim Fehrle
2018-12-09[doc] Enable Warning 50 [incorrect doc comment] and fix comments.Emilio Jesus Gallego Arias
This is a pre-requisite to use automated formatting tools such as `ocamlformat`, also, there were quite a few places where the comments had basically no effect, thus it was confusing for the developer. p.s: Reading some comments was a lot of fun :)
2018-11-21[legacy proof engine] Remove some cruft.Emilio Jesus Gallego Arias
We remove the `Proof_types` file which was a trivial stub, we also cleanup a few layers of aliases. This is not a lot but every little step helps.
2018-09-20Current diff code only compares the first current goal of the old and newJim Fehrle
proof states. That's not always correct. This change will a) show diffs for all displayed goals and b) correctly match goals between the old and new proof states. For example, "split." will show diffs for both resulting goals. "all: swap 1 2" will show the same diffs as for the old proof state, though in a different position in the output. Please see comments before Proof_diffs.make_goal_map_i and Proof_diffs.match_goals for a description of how goals are matched between old and new proofs.
2018-07-29Fix issue 8132. Print the content of body as in Printer.pr_compacted_decl,Jim Fehrle
not the type of body. Also update CHANGES to reflect that the argument for Set Diffs is a string.
2018-07-23Make tokenize_string an optional parameter for diff methods in pp_diffs.Jim Fehrle
Remove forward reference to lexer.
2018-07-23Displays the differences between successive proof steps in coqtop and CoqIDE.Jim Fehrle
Proof General requires minor changes to make the diffs visible, but this code shouldn't break the existing version of PG. Diffs are computed for the hypotheses and conclusion of the first goal between the old and new proofs. Strings are split into tokens using the Coq lexer, then the list of tokens are diffed using the Myers algorithm. A fixup routine (Pp_diff.shorten_diff_span) shortens the span of the diff result in some cases. Diffs can be enabled with the Coq commmand "Set Diffs on|off|removed." or "-diffs on|off|removed" on the OS command line. The "on" option shows only the new item with added text, while "removed" shows each modified item twice--once with the old value showing removed text and once with the new value showing added text. The highlights use 4 tags to specify the color and underline/strikeout. These are "diffs.added", "diffs.removed", "diffs.added.bg" and "diffs.removed.bg". The first two are for added or removed text; the last two are for unmodified parts of a modified item. Diffs that span multiple strings in the Pp are tagged with "start.diff.*" and "end.diff.*", but only on the first and last strings of the span.
