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.)
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.
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?`.
