Now one can write `@x.f`, `@(x).f`, `@x.1`, `@(x).1`, and so on.
This fixes an issue where structure instance update notation (like `{x
with a := a'}`) could fail if the field `a` had a type with implicit,
optional, or auto parameters.
Closes#5406
Adds a mechanism where when an autoparam tactic fails to synthesize a
parameter, the associated parameter name or field name for the autoparam
is reported in an error.
Examples:
```text
could not synthesize default value for parameter 'h' using tactics
could not synthesize default value for field 'inv' of 'S' using tactics
```
Notes:
* Autoparams now run their tactics without any error recovery or
error-to-sorry enabled. This enables catching the error and reporting
the contextual information. This is justified on the grounds that
autoparams are not interactive.
* Autoparams for applications now cleanup the autoParam annotation,
bringing it in line with autoparams for structure fields.
* This preserves the old behavior that autoparams leave terminfo, but we
will revisit this after some imminent improvements to the unused
variable linter.
Closes#2950
Autoparam tactic scripts have no source positions, which until recently
made it so that any errors or messages would be logged at the current
ref, which was the application or structure instance being elaborated.
However, with the new incrementality features the ref is now carefully
managed to avoid leakage of outside data. This inhibits the elaborator's
ref from being used for the tactic's ref, causing messages to be placed
at the beginning of the file rather than on the syntax that triggered
the autoparam.
To fix this, now the elaborators insert the ref's source position
everywhere into the autoparam tactic script.
If in the future messages for synthetic tactics appear at the tops of
files in other contexts, we should consider an approach where
`Lean.Elab.Term.withReuseContext` uses something like `replaceRef` to
set the ref while disabling incrementality when the tactic does not
contain source position information.
Closes#4880
Modifies the structure instance elaborator to
1. Fill in missing fields from sources in strict left-to-right order. In
`{a, b with}`, sometimes the elaborator
would ignore `a` even if both `a` and `b` provided the same field,
depending on what subobject fields they had.
2. Use the sources, or subobjects of the sources, to fill in entire
subobjects of the target structure as much as possible.
Currently, a field cannot be filled directly by a source itself
resulting in the term being eta expanded.
This change avoids this unnecessary and surprisingly costly extra eta
expansion.
Adds two new tests to illustrate the performance benefit (one courtesy
@semorrison). These are currently failing on master and succeed on this
branch.
There is one additional test to exercise the changes to the elaboration
of structure instances.
