2020-12-04Delay inventing names for monomorphic universesGaëtan Gilbert
This avoids doing it repeatedly for nothing in intern/extern.
2020-11-25Separate interning and pretyping of universesGaëtan Gilbert
This allows proper treatment in notations, ie fixes #13303 The "glob" representation of universes (what pretyping sees) contains only fully interpreted (kernel) universes and unbound universe ids (for non Strict Universe Declaration). This means universes need to be understood at intern time, so intern now has a new "universe binders" argument. We cannot avoid this due to the following example: ~~~coq Module Import M. Universe i. End M. Definition foo@{i} := Type@{i}. ~~~ When interning `Type@{i}` we need to know that `i` is locally bound to avoid interning it as `M.i`. Extern has a symmetrical problem: ~~~coq Module Import M. Universe i. End M. Polymorphic Definition foo@{i} := Type@{M.i} -> Type@{i}. Print foo. (* must not print Type@{i} -> Type@{i} *) ~~~ (Polymorphic as otherwise the local `i` will be called `foo.i`) Therefore extern also takes a universe binders argument. Note that the current implementation actually replaces local universes with names at detype type. (Asymmetrical to pretyping which only gets names in glob terms for dynamically declared univs, although it's capable of understanding bound univs too) As such extern only really needs the domain of the universe binders (ie the set of bound universe ids), we just arbitrarily pass the whole universe binders to avoid putting `Id.Map.domain` at every entry point. Note that if we want to change so that detyping does not name locally bound univs we would need to pass the reverse universe binders (map from levels to ids, contained in the ustate ie in the evar map) to extern.
2020-05-07[declare] Merge DeclareDef into DeclareEmilio Jesus Gallego Arias
The API in `DeclareDef` should become the recommended API in `Declare`. This greatly reduces the exposure of internals; we still have a large offender in `Lemmas` but that will be taken care of in the next commit; effectively removing quite some chunks from `declare.mli`. This PR originally introduced a dependency cycle due to: - `Declare`: uses `Vernacexpr.decl_notation list` - `Vernacexpr`: uses `ComHint.hint_expr` - `ComHint`: uses `Declare.declare_constant` This is a real cycle in the sense that `ComHint` would have also move to `DeclareDef` in the medium term. There were quite a few ways to solve it, we have chosen to move the hints ast to `Vernacexpr` as it is not very invasive and seems consistent with the current style. Alternatives, which could be considered at a later stage are for example moving the notations AST to `Metasyntax`, having `Declare` not to depend on `Vernacexpr` [which seems actually a good thing to do in the medium term], reworking notation support more deeply...

Add headers to a few files which were missing them.
2019-10-24[declare] Split universe declaration code to vernac/Emilio Jesus Gallego Arias
The code is self-contained and only used by commands; this also highlights the several `Libobject.obj` registered for each declaration.
