How to write plugins in Coq
===========================
# Working environment
In addition to installing OCaml and Coq, it can help to install several tools for development.
## Merlin
These instructions use [OPAM](http://opam.ocaml.org/doc/Install.html)
```shell
opam install merlin # prints instructions for vim and emacs
```
## This tutorial
```shell
cd plugin_tutorials/tuto0
make .merlin # run before opening .ml files in your editor
make # build
```
# tuto0 : basics of project organization
package a ml4 file in a plugin, organize a `Makefile`, `_CoqProject`
- Example of syntax to add a new toplevel command
- Example of function call to print a simple message
- Example of function call to print a simple warning
- Example of function call to raise a simple error to the user
- Example of syntax to add a simple tactic
(that does nothing and prints a message)
- To use it:
```bash
cd tuto0; make
coqtop -I src -R theories Tuto0
```
In the Coq session type:
```coq
Require Import Tuto0.Loader. HelloWorld.
```
You can also modify and run `theories/Demo.v`.
# tuto1 : OCaml to Coq communication
Explore the memory of Coq, modify it
- Commands that take arguments: strings, integers, symbols, expressions of the calculus of constructions
- Examples of using environments correctly
- Examples of using state (the evar_map) correctly
- Commands that interact with type-checking in Coq
- A command that checks convertibility between two terms
- A command that adds a new definition or theorem
- A command that uses a name and exploits the existing definitions or theorems
- A command that exploits an existing ongoing proof
- A command that defines a new tactic
Compilation and loading must be performed as for `tuto0`.
# tuto2 : OCaml to Coq communication
A more step by step introduction to writing commands
- Explanation of the syntax of entries
- Adding a new type to and parsing to the available choices
- Handling commands that store information in user-chosen registers and tables
Compilation and loading must be performed as for `tuto1`.
# tuto3 : manipulating terms of the calculus of constructions
Manipulating terms, inside commands and tactics.
- Obtaining existing values from memory
- Composing values
- Verifying types
- Using these terms in commands
- Using these terms in tactics
- Automatic proofs without tactics using type classes and canonical structures
compilation and loading must be performed as for `tuto0`.
