2020-03-03[loadpath] Rework and simplify ML loadpath handlingEmilio Jesus Gallego Arias
This PR refactors the handling of ML loadpaths to get it closer to what (as of 2020) the standard OCaml toolchain (ocamlfind, dune) does. This is motivated as I am leaning toward letting the standard OCaml machinery handle OCaml includes; this has several benefits [for example plugins become regular OCaml libs] It will also help in improving dependency handling in plugin dynload. The main change is that "recursive" ML loadpaths are no longer supported, so Coq's `-I` option becomes closer to OCaml's semantics. We still allow `-Q` to extend the OCaml path recursively, but this may become deprecated in the future if we decide to install the ML parts of plugins in the standard OCaml location. Due to this `Loadpath` still hooks into `Mltop`, but other than that `.v` location handling is actually very close to become fully independent of Coq [thus it can be used in other tools such coqdep, the build system, etc...] In terms of vernaculars the changes are: - The `Add Rec ML Path` command has been removed, - The `Add Loadpath "foo".` has been removed. We now require that the form with the explicit prefix `Add Loadpath "foo" as Prefix.` is used. We did modify `fake_ide` as not to add a directory with the empty `Prefix`, which was not used. This exposed some bugs in the implementation of the document model, which relied on having an initial sentence; we have workarounded them just by adding a dummy one in the two relevant cases.
2020-01-29[rfc] [mltop] Removal of dynamic loading of object and `.ml` filesEmilio Jesus Gallego Arias
This seems seldom used and I think in general instrumentation this way is pretty limited (usually better to use the build system to tweak) It thus seems worth removing as to simplify `Mltop` a bit, but of course comments are welcome.

2019-05-21[loadpath] Make loadpath handling self-contained and move to vernacEmilio Jesus Gallego Arias
We consolidate loadpath handling as a single `Loadpath` module from parts in `Library` and `Mltop`, placing it at the `vernac` level [as `Mltop`] This idea was first suggested in https://github.com/coq/coq/pull/9808 , and indeed it makes sense as library resolution tends to be business of the upper layers: IDE / build tools. Logic could be pushed upwards, but this is good enough for now. This consolidation has enabled some good and long overdue refactorings, and the module should become self-contained enough as to allow the resolution logic to be shared with `coqdep` in the future. The `Mltop` module only cares now about ML-level modules, and should go away once we rewrite the loader using `findlib` to solve https://github.com/coq/coq/issues/7698 .
2018-09-26[ocaml] Update required OCaml version to 4.05.0Emilio Jesus Gallego Arias
Closes #7380. Ubuntu 18.04 and Debian Buster will ship this OCaml version so it makes sense we bump our dependency to 4.05.0 as we can use some newer compiler features.
2018-05-21[stm] Make toplevels standalone executables.Emilio Jesus Gallego Arias
We turn coqtop "plugins" into standalone executables, which will be installed in `COQBIN` and located using the standard `PATH` mechanism. Using dynamic linking for `coqtop` customization didn't make a lot of sense, given that only one of such "plugins" could be loaded at a time. This cleans up some code and solves two problems: - `coqtop` needing to locate plugins, - dependency issues as plugins in `stm` depended on files in `toplevel`. In order to implement this, we do some minor cleanup of the toplevel API, making it functional, and implement uniform build rules. In particular: - `stm` and `toplevel` have become library-only directories, - a new directory, `topbin`, contains the new executables, - 4 new binaries have been introduced, for coqide and the stm. - we provide a common and cleaned up way to locate toplevels.

2018-01-29[toplevel] Refactor load path handling.Emilio Jesus Gallego Arias
We refactor top-level load path handling. This is in preparation to make load paths become local to a particular document. To this effect, we introduce a new data type `coq_path` that includes the full specification of a load path: ``` type add_ml = AddNoML | AddTopML | AddRecML type vo_path_spec = { unix_path : string; (* Filesystem path contaning vo/ml files *) coq_path : Names.DirPath.t; (* Coq prefix for the path *) implicit : bool; (* [implicit = true] avoids having to qualify with [coq_path] *) has_ml : add_ml; (* If [has_ml] is true, the directory will also be search for plugins *) } type coq_path_spec = | VoPath of vo_path_spec | MlPath of string type coq_path = { path_spec: coq_path_spec; recursive: bool; } ``` Then, initialization of load paths is split into building a list of load paths and actually making them effective. A future commit will make thus the list of load paths a parameter for document creation. This API is necessarily internal [for now] thus I don't think a changes entry is needed.

2017-02-15[stm] Break stm/toplevel dependency loop.Emilio Jesus Gallego Arias
Currently, the STM, vernac interpretation, and the toplevel are intertwined in a mutual dependency that needs to be resolved using imperative callbacks. This is problematic for a few reasons, in particular it makes the interpretation of commands that affect the document quite intricate. As a first step, we split the `toplevel/` directory into two: "pure" vernac interpretation is moved to the `vernac/` directory, on which the STM relies. Test suite passes, and only one command seems to be disabled with this approach, "Show Script" which is to my understanding obsolete. Subsequent commits will fix this and refine some of the invariants that are not needed anymore.
