You can also look at the \verb!man! pages of -\verb!coqtop! and \verb!coqc! for more details. - - -\section{Interactive use ({\tt coqtop})} - -In the interactive mode, also known as the \Coq~toplevel, the user can -develop his theories and proofs step by step. The \Coq~toplevel is -run by the command {\tt coqtop}. - -\index{byte-code} -\index{native code} -\label{binary-images} -They are two different binary images of \Coq: the byte-code one and -the native-code one (if {\ocaml} provides a native-code compiler -for your platform, which is supposed in the following). By default, -\verb!coqtop! executes the native-code version; run \verb!coqtop.byte! to -get the byte-code version. - -The byte-code toplevel is based on an {\ocaml} -toplevel (to allow the dynamic link of tactics). You can switch to -the {\ocaml} toplevel with the command \verb!Drop.!, and come back to the -\Coq~toplevel with the command \verb!Coqloop.loop();;!. - -\section{Batch compilation ({\tt coqc})} -The {\tt coqc} command takes a name {\em file} as argument. Then it -looks for a vernacular file named {\em file}{\tt .v}, and tries to -compile it into a {\em file}{\tt .vo} file (See ~\ref{compiled}). - -\Warning The name {\em file} should be a regular {\Coq} identifier, as -defined in Section~\ref{lexical}. It should contain only letters, digits -or underscores (\_). For instance, \verb+/bar/foo/toto.v+ is valid, but -\verb+/bar/foo/to-to.v+ is invalid. - -\section[Customization]{Customization at launch time} - -\subsection{By resource file\index{Resource file}} - -When \Coq\ is launched, with either {\tt coqtop} or {\tt coqc}, the -resource file \verb:$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/coq/coqrc.xxx: is loaded, where -\verb:$XDG_CONFIG_HOME: is the configuration directory of the user (by -default its home directory \verb!/.config! and \verb:xxx: is the version -number (e.g. 8.3). If this file is not found, then the file -\verb:$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/coqrc: is searched. You can also specify an -arbitrary name for the resource file (see option \verb:-init-file: -below). - - -This file may contain, for instance, \verb:Add LoadPath: commands to add -directories to the load path of \Coq. -It is possible to skip the loading of the resource file with the -option \verb:-q:. - -\subsection{By environment variables\label{EnvVariables} -\index{Environment variables}\label{envars}} - -Load path can be specified to the \Coq\ system by setting up -\verb:$COQPATH: environment variable. It is a list of directories -separated by \verb|:| (\verb|;| on windows). {\Coq} will also honor -\verb:$XDG_DATA_HOME: and \verb:$XDG_DATA_DIRS: (see Section -\ref{loadpath}). - -Some {\Coq} commands call other {\Coq} commands. In this case, they -look for the commands in directory specified by \verb:$COQBIN:. If -this variable is not set, they look for the commands in the executable -path. - -The \verb:$COQ_COLORS: environment variable can be used to specify the set of -colors used by {\tt coqtop} to highlight its output. It uses the same syntax as -the \verb:$LS_COLORS: variable from GNU's {\tt ls}, that is, a colon-separated -list of assignments of the form \verb:name=attr1;...;attrn: where {\tt name} is -the name of the corresponding highlight tag and {\tt attri} is an ANSI escape -code. The list of highlight tags can be retrieved with the {\tt -list-tags} -command-line option of {\tt coqtop}. - -\subsection{By command line options\index{Options of the command line} -\label{coqoptions}} - -The following command-line options are recognized by the commands {\tt - coqc} and {\tt coqtop}, unless stated otherwise: - -\begin{description} -\item[{\tt -I} {\em directory}, {\tt -include} {\em directory}]\ % - - Add physical path {\em directory} to the {\ocaml} loadpath. - - \SeeAlso Section~\ref{Libraries} and the command {\tt Declare ML Module} Section \ref{compiled}. - -\item[{\tt -Q} {\em directory} {\dirpath}]\ % - - Add physical path \emph{directory} to the list of directories where - {\Coq} looks for a file and bind it to the the logical directory - \emph{dirpath}. The subdirectory structure of \emph{directory} is - recursively available from {\Coq} using absolute names (extending - the {\dirpath} prefix) (see Section~\ref{LongNames}). - - Note that only those subdirectories and files which obey the lexical - conventions of what is an {\ident} (see Section~\ref{lexical}) - are taken into account. Conversely, the underlying file systems or - operating systems may be more restrictive than {\Coq}. While Linux's - ext4 file system supports any {\Coq} recursive layout - (within the limit of 255 bytes per file name), the default on NTFS - (Windows) or HFS+ (MacOS X) file systems is on the contrary to - disallow two files differing only in the case in the same directory. - - \SeeAlso Section~\ref{Libraries}. - -\item[{\tt -R} {\em directory} {\dirpath}]\ % - - Do as \texttt{-Q} \emph{directory} {\dirpath} but make the - subdirectory structure of \emph{directory} recursively visible so - that the recursive contents of physical \emph{directory} is available - from {\Coq} using short or partially qualified names. - - \SeeAlso Section~\ref{Libraries}. - -\item[{\tt -top} {\dirpath}]\ % - - Set the toplevel module name to {\dirpath} instead of {\tt Top}. Not - valid for {\tt coqc} as the toplevel module name is inferred from the - name of the output file. - -\item[{\tt -exclude-dir} {\em directory}]\ % - - Exclude any subdirectory named {\em directory} while - processing options such as {\tt -R} and {\tt -Q}. By default, only the - conventional version control management directories named {\tt CVS} and - {\tt \_darcs} are excluded. - -\item[{\tt -nois}]\ % - - Start from an empty state instead of loading the {\tt Init.Prelude} - module. - -\item[{\tt -init-file} {\em file}]\ % - - Load {\em file} as the resource file instead of loading the default - resource file from the standard configuration directories. - -\item[{\tt -q}]\ % - - Do not to load the default resource file. - -\item[{\tt -load-ml-source} {\em file}]\ % - - Load the {\ocaml} source file {\em file}. - -\item[{\tt -load-ml-object} {\em file}]\ % - - Load the {\ocaml} object file {\em file}. - -\item[{\tt -l} {\em file}, {\tt -load-vernac-source} {\em file}]\ % - - Load and execute the {\Coq} script from {\em file.v}. - -\item[{\tt -lv} {\em file}, {\tt -load-vernac-source-verbose} {\em - file}]\ % - - Load and execute the {\Coq} script from {\em file.v}. - Output its content on the standard input as it is executed. - -\item[{\tt -load-vernac-object} {\dirpath}]\ % - - Load \Coq~compiled library {\dirpath}.

Default is auto, - meaning that {\tt coqtop} dynamically decides, depending on whether the - output channel supports ANSI escape sequences. - -\item[{\tt -beautify}]\ % - - Pretty-print each command to {\em file.beautified} when compiling {\em - file.v}, in order to get old-fashioned syntax/definitions/notations. - -\item[{\tt -emacs}, {\tt -ide-slave}]\ % - - Start a special toplevel to communicate with a specific IDE. - -\item[{\tt -impredicative-set}]\ % - - Change the logical theory of {\Coq} by declaring the sort {\tt Set} - impredicative.

Warning: this makes the - logic inconsistent. - -\item[{\tt -mangle-names} {\em ident}]\ % - - Experimental: Do not depend on this option. - - Replace Coq's auto-generated name scheme with names of the form - {\tt ident0}, {\tt ident1}, \ldots etc. - The command {\tt Set Mangle Names}\optindex{Mangle Names} turns - the behavior on in a document, and {\tt Set Mangle Names Prefix "ident"} - \optindex{Mangle Names Prefix} changes the used prefix. - - This feature is intended to be used as a linter for developments that want - to be robust to changes in the auto-generated name scheme. The options are - provided to facilitate tracking down problems. - -\item[{\tt -compat} {\em version}]\ % - - Attempt to maintain some backward-compatibility with a previous version. - -\item[{\tt -dump-glob} {\em file}]\ % - - Dump references for global names in file {\em file} (to be used - by {\tt coqdoc}, see~\ref{coqdoc}). By default, if {\em file.v} is being - compiled, {\em file.glob} is used. - -\item[{\tt -no-glob}]\ % - - Disable the dumping of references for global names. - -%\item[{\tt -no-hash-consing}]\ % - -\item[{\tt -image} {\em file}]\ % - - Set the binary image to be used by {\tt coqc} to be {\em file} - instead of the standard one.

The corresponding compiled libraries (.vo files) are searched in the -path, recursively processing the libraries they depend on. The content -of all these libraries is then type-checked. The effect of {\tt - coqchk} is only to return with normal exit code in case of success, -and with positive exit code if an error has been found. Error messages -are not deemed to help the user understand what is wrong. In the -current version, it does not modify the compiled libraries to mark -them as successfully checked. - -Note that non-logical information is not checked. By logical -information, we mean the type and optional body associated to names. -It excludes for instance anything related to the concrete syntax of -objects (customized syntax rules, association between short and long -names), implicit arguments, etc. - -This tool can be used for several purposes. One is to check that a -compiled library provided by a third-party has not been forged and -that loading it cannot introduce inconsistencies.\footnote{Ill-formed - non-logical information might for instance bind {\tt - Coq.Init.Logic.True} to short name {\tt False}, so apparently {\tt - False} is inhabited, but using fully qualified names, {\tt - Coq.Init.Logic.False} will always refer to the absurd proposition, - what we guarantee is that there is no proof of this latter - constant.} -Another point is to get an even higher level of security. Since {\tt - coqtop} can be extended with custom tactics, possibly ill-typed -code, it cannot be guaranteed that the produced compiled libraries are -correct. {\tt coqchk} is a standalone verifier, and thus it cannot be -tainted by such malicious code. - -Command-line options {\tt -Q}, {\tt -R}, {\tt -where} and -{\tt -impredicative-set} are supported by {\tt coqchk} and have the -same meaning as for {\tt coqtop}. As there is no notion of relative paths in -object files {\tt -Q} and {\tt -R} have exactly the same meaning. - -Extra options are: -\begin{description} -\item[{\tt -norec} {\em module}]\ % - - Check {\em module} but do not check its dependencies. - -\item[{\tt -admit} {\em module}]\ % - - Do not check {\em module} and any of its dependencies, unless - explicitly required. - -\item[{\tt -o}]\ % - - At exit, print a summary about the context. List the names of all - assumptions and variables (constants without body). - -\item[{\tt -silent}]\ % - - Do not write progress information in standard output. -\end{description} - -Environment variable \verb:$COQLIB: can be set to override the -location of the standard library. - -The algorithm for deciding which modules are checked or admitted is -the following: assuming that {\tt coqchk} is called with argument $M$, -option {\tt -norec} $N$, and {\tt -admit} $A$. Let us write -$\overline{S}$ the set of reflexive transitive dependencies of set -$S$. Then: -\begin{itemize} -\item Modules $C=\overline{M}\backslash\overline{A}\cup M\cup N$ are - loaded and type-checked before being added to the context. -\item And $\overline{M}\cup\overline{N}\backslash C$ is the set of - modules that are loaded and added to the context without - type-checking. Basic integrity checks (checksums) are nonetheless - performed. -\end{itemize} - -As a rule of thumb, the {\tt -admit} can be used to tell that some -libraries have already been checked. So {\tt coqchk A B} can be split -in {\tt coqchk A \&\& coqchk B -admit A} without type-checking any -definition twice. Of course, the latter is slightly slower since it -makes more disk access. It is also less secure since an attacker might -have replaced the compiled library $A$ after it has been read by the -first command, but before it has been read by the second command. - -%%% Local Variables: -%%% mode: latex -%%% TeX-master: "Reference-Manual" -%%% End: diff --git a/doc/refman/Reference-Manual.tex b/doc/refman/Reference-Manual.tex index 357272aa4..4ddb5e0f2 100644 --- a/doc/refman/Reference-Manual.tex +++ b/doc/refman/Reference-Manual.tex @@ -112,7 +112,6 @@ Options A and B of the licence are {\em not} elected.} %%SUPPRIME \include{RefMan-tus.v}% Writing tactics \part{Practical tools} -\include{RefMan-com}% The coq commands (coqc coqtop) \include{RefMan-uti}% utilities (gallina, do_Makefile, etc) \include{RefMan-ide}% Coq IDE |
