The linters in Batteries can be used to spot mistakes in Lean. See the
message on
[Zulip](https://leanprover.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/270676-lean4/topic/Go-to-def.20on.20typeclass.20fields.20and.20type-dependent.20notation/near/442613564).
These are the different linters with errors:
- unusedArguments:
There are many unused instance arguments, especially a redundant `[Monad
m]` is very common
- checkUnivs:
There was a problem with universes in a definition in
`Init.Control.StateCps`. I fixed it by adding a `variable` statement for
the implicit arguments in the file.
- defLemma:
many proofs are written as `def` instead of `theorem`, most notably
`rfl`. Because `rfl` is used as a match pattern, it must be a def. Is
this desirable?
The keyword `abbrev` is sometimes used for an alias of a theorem, which
also results in a def. I would want to replace it with the `alias`
keyword to fix this, but it isn't available.
- dupNamespace:
I fixed some of these, but left `Tactic.Tactic` and `Parser.Parser` as
they are as these seem intended.
- unusedHaveSuffices:
I cleaned up a few proofs with unused `have` or `suffices`
- explicitVarsOfIff:
I didn't fix any of these, because that would be a breaking change.
- simpNF:
I didn't fix any of these, because I think that requires knowing the
intended simplification order.
Implements a new method to generate instance names for anonymous
instances that uses a heuristic that tends to produce shorter names. A
design goal is to make them relatively unique within projects and
definitely unique across projects, while also using accessible names so
that they can be referred to as needed, both in Lean code and in
discussions.
The new method also takes into account binders provided to the instance,
and it adds project-based suffixes. Despite this, a median new name is
73% its original auto-generated length. (Compare: [old generated
names](https://gist.github.com/kmill/b72bb43f5b01dafef41eb1d2e57a8237)
and [new generated
names](https://gist.github.com/kmill/393acc82e7a8d67fc7387829f4ed547e).)
Some notes:
* The naming is sensitive to what is explicitly provided as a binder vs
what is provided via a `variable`. It does not make use of `variable`s
since, when names are generated, it is not yet known which variables are
used in the body of the instance.
* If the instance name refers to declarations in the current "project"
(given by the root module), then it does not add a suffix. Otherwise, it
adds the project name as a suffix to protect against cross-project
collisions.
* `set_option trace.Elab.instance.mkInstanceName true` can be used to
see what name the auto-generator would give, even if the instance
already has an explicit name.
There were a number of instances that were referred to explicitly in
meta code, and these have been given explicit names.
Removes the unused `Lean.Elab.mkFreshInstanceName` along with the
Command state's `nextInstIdx`.
Fixes#2343
This is a rewrite of the `UnusedVariables` lint to inline and simplify
many of the dependent functions to try to improve the performance of
this lint, which quite often shows up in perf reports.
* The mvar assignment scanning is one of the most expensive parts of the
process, so we do two things to improve this:
* Lazily perform the scan only if we need it
* Use an object-pointer hashmap to ensure that we don't have quadratic
behavior when there are many mvar assignments with slight differences.
* The dependency on `Lean.Server` is removed, meaning we don't need to
do the LSP conversion stuff anymore. The main logic of reference finding
is inlined.
* We take `fvarAliases` into account, and union together fvars which are
aliases of a base fvar. (It would be great if we had `UnionFind` here.)
More docs will be added once we confirm an actual perf improvement.

TODO: after we delete old code generator, we should replace
`@[alwaysInline, inline]` with `@[alwaysInline]`.
Remainder: we want the old code generator to ignore `@[alwaysInline]`
annotations, in particular, the new ones on `instance` commands that
are actually annotations for the instance methods.
