the user can now write `termination_by?` to see the termination argument
inferred by GuessLex, and turn it into `termination_by …` using the “Try
this” widget or a code action.
To be done later, maybe: Avoid writing `sizeOf` if it's not necessary.
Adds a simple error-recovery mechanism to Lean's parser, similar to
those used in other combinator parsing libraries.
Lean itself isn't very amenable to error recovery with this mechanism,
as it requires global knowledge of the grammar in question to write
recovery rules that don't break backtracking or `<|>`. I only found a
few opportunities.
But for DSLs, this is really important. In particular, Verso parse
errors interacted very badly with Lean parse errors in a way that
required frequent "restart file" commands, but this mechanism allows me
to both recover from Verso parse errors and to have Lean skip the rest
of the file rather than repeatedly trying to parse it as Lean commands.
This change
* moves `termination_by` and `decreasing_by` next to the function they
apply to
* simplify the syntax of `termination_by`
* apply the `decreasing_by` goal to all goals at once, for better
interactive use.
See the section in `RELEASES.md` for more details and migration advise.
This is a hard breaking change, requiring developers to touch every
`termination_by` in their code base. We decided to still do it as a
hard-breaking change, because supporting both old and new syntax at the
same time would be non-trivial, and not save that much. Moreover, this
requires changes to some metaprograms that developers might have
written, and supporting both syntaxes at the same time would make
_their_ migration harder.
Switches from encoding `let_fun` using an annotated `(fun x : t => b) v`
expression to a function application `letFun v (fun x : t => b)`.

until around 7fe6881 the way to define well-founded recursions was to
specify a `WellFoundedRelation` on the argument explicitly. This was
rather low-level, for example one had to predict the packing of multiple
arguments into `PProd`s, the packing of mutual functions into `PSum`s,
and the cliques that were calculated.
Then the current `termination_by` syntax was introduced, where you
specify the termination argument at a higher level (one clause per
functions, unpacked arguments), and the `WellFoundedRelation` is found
using type class resolution.
The old syntax was kept around as `termination_by'`. This is not used
anywhere in the lean, std, mathlib or the theorem-proving-in-lean
repositories,
and three occurrences I found in the wild can do without
In particular, it should be possible to express anything that the old
syntax
supported also with the new one, possibly requiring a helper type with a
suitable instance, or the following generic wrapper that now lives in
std
```
def wrap {α : Sort u} {r : α → α → Prop} (h : WellFounded r) (x : α) : {x : α // Acc r x}
```
Since the old syntax is unused, has an unhelpful name and relies on
internals, this removes the support. Now is a good time before the
refactoring that's planned in #2921.
The test suite was updated without particular surprises.
The parametric `terminationHint` parser is gone, which means we can
match on syntax more easily now, in `expandDecreasingBy?`.
In order to familiarize myself with this code, and so that the next
person has an easier time, I
* added docstrings explaining what I found out these things to
* rewrote the syntax expansion functions using syntax pattern matches,
to the extend possible
This is an additional safety net on top of #2749: it protects users that
circumvent the build system (e.g. with `lake env`) as well as obviates
the need for TOCTOU-like race condition checks in the build system.
The check is activated by `CHECK_OLEAN_VERSION=ON`, which now defaults
to `OFF` as the sensible default for local development. When activated,
`USE_GITHASH=ON` is also force-enabled for stage 0 in order to make sure
that stage 1 can load its own core library.
