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 refines the new wording of the "application type mismatch" error
message to avoid ambiguity in references to the "final" argument in a
subexpression that may be followed by additional arguments.
It does so by replacing "final" with "last," rephrasing the message so
that this adjective modifies the argument itself rather than the word
"argument," and only displaying this wording when two arguments could be
confused (determined by expression equality).
These changes were motivated by a report that in cases where a function
application `f a b c` fails to elaborate because `b` is incorrectly
typed, the existing error message's reference to `b` being the "final"
argument in the application `f a b` may create confusion because it is
not the final argument in the full application expression.
This PR rewords the `application type mismatch` error message by more
specifically mentioning that the problem is with the final argument.
This is useful when the same argument is passed to the function multiple
times.
We decided against using a wording which specifically mentions the
"function expression", because users who are not used to currying might
not think of the `f a` in `f a b` as a function.
This PR adjusts the way the pretty printer unresolves names. It used to
make use of all `export`s when pretty printing, but now it only uses
`export`s that put names into parent namespaces (heuristic: these are
"API exports" that are intended by the library author), rather than
"horizontal exports" that put the names into an unrelated namespace,
which the dot notation feature in #6189 now incentivizes.
Closes the already closed#2524
This PR changes how generalized field notation ("dot notation") resolves
the function. The new resolution rule is that if `x : S`, then `x.f`
resolves the name `S.f` relative to the root namespace (hence it now
affected by `export` and `open`). Breaking change: aliases now resolve
differently. Before, if `x : S`, and if `S.f` is an alias for `S'.f`,
then `x.f` would use `S'.f` and look for an argument of type `S'`. Now,
it looks for an argument of type `S`, which is more generally useful
behavior. Code making use of the old behavior should consider defining
`S` or `S'` in terms of the other, since dot notation can unfold
definitions during resolution.
This also fixes a bug in explicit-mode generalized field notation
(`@x.f`) where `x` could be passed as the wrong argument. This was not a
bug for explicit-mode structure projections.
Closes#3031. Addresses the `Function` namespace issue in #1629.
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.)
