This PR introduces an explicit `defeq` attribute to mark theorems that
can be used by `dsimp`. The benefit of an explicit attribute over the
prior logic of looking at the proof body is that we can reliably omit
theorem bodies across module boundaries. It also helps with intra-file
parallelism.
If a theorem is syntactically defined by `:= rfl`, then the attribute is
assumed and need not given explicitly. This is a purely syntactic check
and can be fooled, e.g. if in the current namespace, `rfl` is not
actually “the” `rfl` of `Eq`. In that case, some other syntax has be
used, such as `:= (rfl)`. This is also the way to go if a theorem can be
proved by `defeq`, but one does not actually want `dsimp` to use this
fact.
The `defeq` attribute will look at the *type* of the declaration, not
the body, to check if it really holds definitionally. Because of
different reduction settings, this can sometimes go wrong. Then one
should also write `:= (rfl)`, if one does not want this to be a defeq
theorem. (If one does then this is currently not possible, but it’s
probably a bad idea anyways).
The `set_option debug.tactic.simp.checkDefEqAttr true`, `dsimp` will
warn if could not apply a lemma due to a missing `defeq` attribute.
With `set_option backward.dsimp.useDefEqAttr.get false` one can revert
to the old behavior of inferring rfl-ness based on the theorem body.
Both options will go away eventually (too bad we can’t mark them as
deprecated right away, see #7969)
Meta programs that generate theorems (e.g. equational theorems) can use
`inferDefEqAttr` to set the attribute based on the theorem body of the
just created declaration.
This builds on #8501 to update Init to `@[expose]` a fair amount of
definitions that, if not exposed, would prevent some existing `:= rfl`
theorems from being `defeq` theorems. In the interest of starting
backwards compatible, I exposed these function. Hopefully many can be
un-exposed later again.
A mathlib adaption branch exists that includes both the meta programming
fixes and changes to the theorems (e.g. changing `:= by rfl` to `:=
rfl`).
With the module system there is now no special handling for `defeq`
theorem bodies, because we don’t look at the body anymore. The previous
hack is removed. The `defeq`-ness of the theorem needs to be checked in
the context of the theorem’s *type*; the error message contains a hint
if the defeq check fails because of the exported context.
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 is part of #3983.
Fine-grained equational lemmas are useful even for non-recursive
functions, so this adds them.
The new option `eqns.nonrecursive` can be set to `false` to have the old
behavior.
### Breaking channge
This is a breaking change: Previously, `rw [Option.map]` would rewrite
`Option.map f o` to `match o with … `. Now this rewrite will fail
because the equational lemmas require constructors here (like they do
for, say, `List.map`).
Remedies:
* Split on `o` before rewriting.
* Use `rw [Option.map.eq_def]`, which rewrites any (saturated)
application of `Option.map`
* Use `set_option eqns.nonrecursive false` when *defining* the function
in question.
### Interaction with simp
The `simp` tactic so far had a special provision for non-recursive
functions so that `simp [f]` will try to use the equational lemmas, but
will also unfold `f` else, so less breakage here (but maybe performance
improvements with functions with many cases when applied to a
constructor, as the simplifier will no longer unfold to a large
`match`-statement and then collapse it right away).
For projection functions and functions marked `[reducible]`, `simp [f]`
won’t use the equational theorems, and will only use its internal
unfolding machinery.
### Implementation notes
It uses the same `mkEqnTypes` function as for recursive functions, so we
are close to a consistency here. There is still the wrinkle that for
recursive functions we don't split matches without an interesting
recursive call inside. Unifying that is future work.
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.)
