This refactors and improves the `#eval` command, introducing some new
features.
* Now evaluated results can be represented using `ToExpr` and pretty
printing. This means **hoverable output**. If `ToExpr` fails, it then
tries `Repr` and then `ToString`. The `eval.pp` option controls whether
or not to try `ToExpr`.
* There is now **auto-derivation** of `Repr` instances, enabled with the
`pp.derive.repr` option (default to **true**). For example:
```lean
inductive Baz
| a | b
#eval Baz.a
-- Baz.a
```
It simply does `deriving instance Repr for Baz` when there's no way to
represent `Baz`. If core Lean gets `ToExpr` derive handlers, they could
be used here as well.
* The option `eval.type` controls whether or not to include the type in
the output. For now the default is false.
* Now things like `#eval do return 2` work. It tries using
`CommandElabM`, `TermElabM`, or `IO` when the monad is unknown.
* Now there is no longer `Lean.Eval` or `Lean.MetaEval`. These each used
to be responsible for both adapting monads and printing results. The
concerns have been split into two. (1) The `MonadEval` class is
responsible for adapting monads for evaluation (it is similar to
`MonadLift`, but instances are allowed to use default data when
initializing state) and (2) finding a way to represent results is
handled separately.
* Error messages about failed instance synthesis are now more precise.
Once it detects that a `MonadEval` class applies, then the error message
will be specific about missing `ToExpr`/`Repr`/`ToString` instances.
* Fixes a bug where `Repr`/`ToString` instances can't be found by
unfolding types "under the monad". For example, this works now:
```lean
def Foo := List Nat
def Foo.mk (l : List Nat) : Foo := l
#eval show Lean.CoreM Foo from do return Foo.mk [1,2,3]
```
* Elaboration errors now abort evaluation. This eliminates some
not-so-relevant error messages.
* Now evaluating a value of type `m Unit` never prints a blank message.
* Fixes bugs where evaluating `MetaM` and `CoreM` wouldn't collect log
messages.
The `run_cmd`, `run_elab`, and `run_meta` commands are now frontends for
`#eval`.
Many of our tests in `tests/lean/run/` produce output from `#eval` (or
`#check`) statements, that is then ignored.
This PR tries to capture all the useful output using `#guard_msgs`. I've
only done a cursory check that the output is still sane --- there is a
chance that some "unchecked" tests have already accumulated regressions
and this just cements them!
In the other direction, I did identify two rotten tests:
* a minor one in `setStructInstNotation.lean`, where a comment says `Set
Nat`, but `#check` actually prints `?_`. Weird?
* `CompilerProbe.lean` is generating empty output, apparently indicating
that something is broken, but I don't know the signficance of this file.
In any case, I'll ask about these elsewhere.
(This started by noticing that a recent `grind` test file had an
untested `trace_state`, and then got carried away.)
@Kha I marked the corresponding methods as `protected`.
I currently can't stand `throw_error`, and I am optimistic about
server highlighting feature you are working on :)
@Kha This one required a bunch of manual fixes. The main issue is that
before we added the string interpolation feature, we created
`MessageData`s using `++` and coercions. For example, given
`(e : Expr)`, we would write
```
let msg : MessageData := "type: " ++ e
```
and rely on the coercions `String -> MessageData` and
`Expr -> MessageData`, and the instance `Append MessageData`.
However, heterogeneous operators "block" the expected type propagation downwards.
This kind of code is obsolete now since we can write a more compact
version using string interpolation
```
let msg := m!"type: {e}"
```
It preserves the location of the local declaration.
@Kha This tactic is going to be used to fix another hygiene related bug in
Lean3 :)
Here is small repro for the problem.
```
example (m n k : ℕ) (h : 0 + n = m) (h : k = m) : ... :=
begin
-- Here `h : k = m` is accessible.
rw [nat.zero_add] at *
-- `h : k = m` is not accessible anymore, and it is a name for
-- the simplified `h : n = m` which was inaccessible before.
end
```
