This PR upstreams the Verso parser and adds preliminary support for
Verso in docstrings. This will allow the compiler to check examples and
cross-references in documentation.
After a `stage0` update, a follow-up PR will add the appropriate
attributes that allow the feature to be used. The parser tests from
Verso also remain to be upstreamed, and user-facing documentation will
be added once the feature has been used on more internals.
This PR updates the formatting of, and adds explanations for, "unknown
identifier" errors as well as "failed to infer type" errors for binders
and definitions.
It attempts to ameliorate some of the confusion encountered in #1592 by
modifying the wording of the "header is elaborated before body is
processed" note and adding further discussion and examples of this
behavior in the corresponding error explanation.
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`.
