Summary:
We minimize the number of "'sorry' used warning messages". We also
re-target the error to the main declaration. Example: foo._main ==> foo
We do not report for auxiliary declarations such as "_example" and
"foo.equations._eqn_1"
Get rid of the redundant error message "error : failed" for tactics.
We added "silent failures" in the tactic framework.
We do not store line/col information for tactics nested in notation
declarations. Before this commit, we would have tactics such
as (tactic.save_info line col) nested inside of notation declarations.
After this commit, new interactice tactic classes can be added without
writing C++ code (see example: tests/lean/run/my_tac_class.lean).
The tactic_evaluator was simplified, and all the complexity has been
moved to tactic_notation, and lean code.
We can now inspect the intermediate states produced by the rewrite
tactic.
The function (@scope_trace _ line col thunk) can be used to position trace
messages produced by thunk. If line/col are not provided (i.e., we
just write (scope_trace thunk)), then line/col are filled with the
position of this term by the elaborator.
We can visualize the intermediate tactic states inside nested blocks
such as (try { ... })
The new infrastructure can be used to implement custom tactic_state
pretty printers.
In the standard library, we should use explicit universe variables for
universe polymorphic definitions.
Users that want to declare universe polymorphic definitions but do not
want to provide universe level parameters should use
Type _
or
Type*
Perhaps, we should add an option to disable this new feature.
Remark: this commit makes commit 46d418a redundant.
I'm keeping 46d418a because we may retract this commit in the future.
