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 PR improves the “expected type mismatch” error message by omitting
the type's types when they are defeq, and putting them into separate
lines when not.
I found it rather tediuos to parse the error message when the expected
type is long, because I had to find the `:` in the middle of a large
expression somewhere. Also, when both are of sort `Prop` or `Type` it
doesn't add much value to print the sort (and it’s only one hover away
anyways).
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
This PR fixes an issue where `let n : Nat := sorry` in the Infoview
pretty prints as ``n : ℕ := sorry `«Foo:17:17»``. This was caused by
top-level expressions being pretty printed with the same rules as
Infoview hovers. Closes#6715. Refactors `Lean.Widget.ppExprTagged`; now
it takes a delaborator, and downstream users should configure their own
pretty printer option overrides if necessary if they used the `explicit`
argument (see `Lean.Widget.makePopup.ppExprForPopup` for an example).
Breaking change: `ppExprTagged` does not set `pp.proofs` on the root
expression.
This PR makes it harder to create "fake" theorems about definitions that
are stubbed-out with `sorry` by ensuring that each `sorry` is not
definitionally equal to any other. For example, this now fails:
```lean
example : (sorry : Nat) = sorry := rfl -- fails
```
However, this still succeeds, since the `sorry` is a single
indeterminate `Nat`:
```lean
def f (n : Nat) : Nat := sorry
example : f 0 = f 1 := rfl -- succeeds
```
One can be more careful by putting parameters to the right of the colon:
```lean
def f : (n : Nat) → Nat := sorry
example : f 0 = f 1 := rfl -- fails
```
Most sources of synthetic sorries (recall: a sorry that originates from
the elaborator) are now unique, except for elaboration errors, since
making these unique tends to cause a confusing cascade of errors. In
general, however, such sorries are labeled. This enables "go to
definition" on `sorry` in the Infoview, which brings you to its origin.
The option `set_option pp.sorrySource true` causes the pretty printer to
show source position information on sorries.
**Details:**
* Adds `Lean.Meta.mkLabeledSorry`, which creates a sorry that is labeled
with its source position. For example, `(sorry : Nat)` might elaborate
to
```
sorryAx (Lean.Name → Nat) false
`lean.foo.12.8.12.13.8.13._sorry._@.lean.foo._hyg.153
```
It can either be made unique (like the above) or merely labeled. Labeled
sorries use an encoding that does not impact defeq:
```
sorryAx (Unit → Nat) false (Function.const Lean.Name ()
`lean.foo.14.7.13.7.13.69._sorry._@.lean.foo._hyg.174)
```
* Makes the `sorry` term, the `sorry` tactic, and every elaboration
failure create labeled sorries. Most are unique sorries, but some
elaboration errors are labeled sorries.
* Renames `OmissionInfo` to `DelabTermInfo` and adds configuration
options to control LSP interactions. One field is a source position to
use for "go to definition". This is used to implement "go to definition"
on labeled sorries.
* Makes hovering over a labeled `sorry` show something friendlier than
that full `sorryAx` expression. Instead, the first hover shows the
simplified ``sorry `«lean.foo:48:11»``. Hovering over that hover shows
the full `sorryAx`. Setting `set_option pp.sorrySource true` makes
`sorry` always start with printing with this source position
information.
* Removes `Lean.Meta.mkSyntheticSorry` in favor of `Lean.Meta.mkSorry`
and `Lean.Meta.mkLabeledSorry`.
* Changes `sorryAx` so that the `synthetic` argument is no longer
optional.
* Gives `addPPExplicitToExposeDiff` awareness of labeled sorries. It can
set `pp.sorrySource` when source positions differ.
* Modifies the delaborator framework so that delaborators can set Info
themselves without it being overwritten.
Incidentally closes#4972.
