This PR updates the styling and wording of error messages produced in
inductive type declarations and anonymous constructor notation,
including hints for inferable constructor visibility updates.
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 changes how fields are elaborated in the `structure`/`class`
commands and also makes default values respect the structure resolution
order when there is diamond inheritance. Before, the details of
subobjects were exposed during elaboration, and in the local context any
fields that came from a subobject were defined to be projections of the
subobject field. Now, every field is represented as a local variable.
All parents (not just subobject parents) are now represented in the
local context, and they are now local variables defined to be parent
constructors applied to field variables (inverting the previous
relationship). Other notes:
- The entire collection of parents is processed, and all parent
projection names are checked for consistency. Every parent appears in
the local context now.
- For classes, every parent now contributes an instance, not just the
parents represented as subobjects.
- Default values are now processed according to the parent resolution
order. Default value definition/override auxiliary definitions are
stored at `StructName.fieldName._default`, and inherited values are
stored at `StructName.fieldName._inherited_default`. Metaprograms no
longer need to look at parents when doing calculations on default
values.
- Default value omission for structure instance notation pretty printing
has been updated in consideration of this.
- Now the elaborator generates a `_flat_ctor` constructor that will be
used for structure instance elaboration. All types in this constructor
are put in "field normal form" (projections of parent constructors are
reduced, and parent constructors are eta reduced), and all fields with
autoParams are annotated as such. This is not meant for users, but it
may be useful for metaprogramming.
- While elaborating fields, any metavariables whose type is one of the
parents is assigned to that parent. The hypothesis is that, for the
purpose of elaborating structure fields, parents are fixed: there is
only *one* instance of any given parent under consideration. See the
`Magma` test for an example of this being necessary. The hypothesis may
not be true when there are recursive structures, since different values
of the structure might not agree on parent fields.
Other notes:
- The elaborator has been refactored, and it now uses a monad to keep
track of the elaboration state.
- This PR was motivation for #7100, since we need to be able to make all
parents have consistent projection names when there is diamond
inheritance.
Still to do:
- Handle autoParams like we do default values. Inheritance for these is
not correct when there is diamond inheritance.
- Avoid splitting apart parents if the overlap is only on proof fields.
- Non-subobject parent projections do not have parameter binder kinds
that are consistent with other projections (i.e., all implicit by
default, no inst implicits). This needs to wait on adjustments to the
synthOrder algorithm.
- We could elide parents with no fields, letting their projections be
constant functions. This causes some trouble for defeq checking however
(maybe #2258 would address this).
This PR modifies the `structure` syntax so that parents can be named,
like in
```lean
structure S extends toParent : P
```
**Breaking change:** The syntax is also modified so that the resultant
type comes *before* the `extends` clause, for example `structure S :
Prop extends P`. This is necessary to prevent a parsing ambiguity, but
also this is the natural place for the resultant type. Implements RFC
#7099.
Will need followup PRs for cleanup after a stage0 update.
This PR adds support for `structure` in `mutual` blocks, allowing
inductive types defined by `inductive` and `structure` to be mutually
recursive. The limitations are (1) that the parents in the `extends`
clause must be defined before the `mutual` block and (2) mutually
recursive classes are not allowed (a limitation shared by `class
inductive`). There are also improvements to universe level inference for
inductive types and structures. Breaking change: structure parents now
elaborate with the structure in scope (fix: use qualified names or
rename the structure to avoid shadowing), and structure parents no
longer elaborate with autoimplicits enabled.
Internally, this is a large refactor of both the `inductive` and
`structure` commands. Common material is now in
`Lean.Elab.MutualInductive`, and each command plugs into this mutual
inductive elaboration framework with the logic specific to the
respective command. For example, `structure` has code to add projections
after the inductive types are added to the environment.
Closes#4182
This PR changes the rule for which projections become instances. Before,
all parents along with all indirect ancestors that were represented as
subobject fields would have their projections become instances. Now only
projections for direct parents become instances.
Features:
- Only parents that are not ancestors of other parents get instances.
This allows "discretionary" indirect parents to be inserted for the
purpose of computing strict resolution orders when
`structure.strictResolutionOrder` is enabled, without having an impact
on typeclass synthesis.
- Non-subobject projections are now theorems if the parent is a
proposition. These are also no longer `@[reducible]`.
Closes#2905
Followup to #5841. Makes the `structure` command populate the new
`parentInfo` field with all the structures in the `extends` clause.
This will require a stage0 update to fully take effect.
Breaking change: now it's a warning if a structure extends a parent
multiple times.
Breaking change: now `getParentStructures` is `getStructureSubobjects`.
Adds `getStructureParentInfo` for getting all the immediate parents.
Note that the set of subobjects is neither a subset nor a superset of
the immediate parents.
Closes#1881
Refactors the `structure` command to support recursive structures. These
are disabled for now, pending additional elaborator support in #5822.
This refactor is also a step toward `structure` appearing in `mutual`
blocks.
Error reporting is now more precise, and this fixes an issue where
general errors could appear on the last field. Adds "don't know how to
synthesize placeholder" errors for default values.
Closes#2512
@Kha we do that in Lean 3. It helps when the error is due to incorrect universe levels.
BTW, I had to update `tests/lean/server/content_diag.json` since the
error message is different, but a few other stuff changed too.
Could you please take a look whether the test is still correct?
