This PR allows `simp` to recognize and warn about simp lemmas that are
likely looping in the current simp set. It does so automatically
whenever simplification fails with the dreaded “max recursion depth”
error fails, but it can be made to do it always with `set_option
linter.loopingSimpArgs true`. This check is not on by default because it
is somewhat costly, and can warn about simp calls that still happen to
work.
This closes#5111. In the end, this implemented much simpler logic than
described there (and tried in the abandoned #8688; see that PR
description for more background information), but it didn’t work as well
as I thought. The current logic is:
“Simplify the RHS of the simp theorem, complain if that fails”.
It is a reasonable policy for a Lean project to say that all simp
invocation should be so that this linter does not complain. Often it is
just a matter of explicitly disabling some simp theorems from the
default simp set, to make it clear and robust that in this call, we do
not want them to trigger. But given that often such simp call happen to
work, it’s too pedantic to impose it on everyone.
This PR fixes an issue when including a hard line break in a `Format`
that caused subsequent (ordinary) line breaks to be erroneously
flattened to spaces.
This issue is especially important for displaying notes and hints in
error messages, as these components could appear garbled due to improper
line-break rendering.
This PR makes `#guard_msgs` to treat `trace` messages separate from
`info`, `warning` and `error`. It also introduce the ability to say
`#guard_msgs (pass info`, like `(drop info)` so far, and also adds
`(check info)` as the explicit form of `(info)`, for completeness.
Fixes#8266
so that the pretty-printed origin is clickable, and avoid the
unnecessary `@`.
Particularly nice is this fix:

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.)
