At this state of developpement it brings few features to the user, as the old tactics were ported with no change. Changes are on the side of the developer mostly. Here comes a list of the major changes. I will stay brief, but the code is hopefully well documented so that it is reasonably easy to infer the details from it. Feature developer-side: * Primitives for a "real" refine tactic (generating a goal for each evar). * Abstract type of tactics, goals and proofs * Tactics can act on several goals (formally all the focused goals). An interesting consequence of this is that the tactical (. ; [ . | ... ]) can be separated in two tacticals (. ; .) and ( [ . | ... ] ) (although there is a conflict for this particular syntax). We can also imagine a tactic to reorder the goals. * Possibility for a tactic to pass a value to following tactics (a typical example is an intro function which tells the following tactics which name it introduced). * backtracking primitives for tactics (it is now possible to implement a tactical '+' with (a+b);c equivalent to (a;c+b;c) (itself equivalent to (a;c||b;c)). This is a valuable tool to implement tactics like "auto" without nowing of the implementation of tactics. * A notion of proof modes, which allows to dynamically change the parser for tactics. It is controlled at user level with the keywords Set Default Proof Mode (this is the proof mode which is loaded at the start of each proof) and Proof Mode (switches the proof mode of the current proof) to control them. * A new primitive Evd.fold_undefined which operates like an Evd.fold, except it only goes through the evars whose body is Evar_empty. This is a common operation throughout the code, some of the fold-and-test-if-empty occurences have been replaced by fold_undefined. For now, it is only implemented as a fold-and-test, but we expect to have some optimisations coming some day, as there can be a lot of evars in an evar_map with this new implementation (I've observed a couple of thousands), whereas there are rarely more than a dozen undefined ones. Folding being a linear operation, this might result in a significant speed-up. * The declarative mode has been moved into the plugins. This is made possible by the proof mode feature. I tried to document it so that it can serve as a tutorial for a tactic mode plugin. Features user-side: * Unfocus does not go back to the root of the proof if several Focus-s have been performed. It only goes back to the point where it was last focused. * experimental (non-documented) support of keywords BeginSubproof/EndSubproof: BeginSubproof focuses on first goal, one can unfocus only with EndSubproof, and only if the proof is completed for that goal. * experimental (non-documented) support for bullets ('+', '-' and '*') they act as hierarchical BeginSubproof/EndSubproof: First time one uses '+' (for instance) it focuses on first goal, when the subproof is completed, one can use '+' again which unfocuses and focuses on next first goal. Meanwhile, one cas use '*' (for instance) to focus more deeply. Known regressions: * The xml plugin had some functions related to proof trees. As the structure of proof changed significantly, they do not work anymore. * I do not know how to implement info or show script in this new engine. Actually I don't even know what they were suppose to actually mean in earlier versions either. I wager they would require some calm thinking before going back to work. * Declarative mode not entirely working (in particular proofs by induction need to be restored). * A bug in the inversion tactic (observed in some contributions) * A bug in Program (observed in some contributions) * Minor change in the 'old' type of tactics causing some contributions to fail. * Compilation time takes about 10-15% longer for unknown reasons (I suspect it might be linked to the fact that I don't perform any reduction at QED-s, and also to some linear operations on evar_map-s (see Evd.fold_undefined above)). git-svn-id: svn+ssh://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/coq/trunk@12961 85f007b7-540e-0410-9357-904b9bb8a0f7

It is probably not a finished job. The aim of committing it now, as agreed with Hugo, is to get some feedback from potential users to identify more clearly the directions the implementation could take. So please feel free to mail me any remarks, bug reports or advices at <puech@cs.unibo.it>. Here are the changes induced by it : For the user ============ * Search tools have been reimplemented to be faster and more general. Affected are [SearchPattern], [SearchRewrite] and [Search] (not [SearchAbout] yet). Changes are: - All of them accept general constructions, and previous syntactical limitations are abolished. In particular, one can for example [SearchPattern (nat -> Prop)], which will find [isSucc], but also [le], [gt] etc. - Patterns are typed. This means that you cannot search mistyped expressions anymore. I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing though (especially regarding coercions)... * New tool to automatically infer (some) Record/Typeclasses instances. Usage : [Record/Class *Infer* X := ...] flags a record/class as subject to instance search. There is also an option to activate/deactivate the search [Set/Unset Autoinstance]. It works by finding combinations of definitions (actually all kinds of objects) which forms a record instance, possibly parameterized. It is activated at two moments: - A complete search is done when defining a new record, to find all possible instances that could have been formed with past definitions. Example: Require Import List. Record Infer Monoid A (op:A->A->A) e := { assoc : forall x y z, op x (op y z) = op (op x y) z; idl : forall x, x = op x e ; idr : forall x, x = op e x }. new instance Monoid_autoinstance_1 : (Monoid nat plus 0) [...] - At each new declaration (Definition, Axiom, Inductive), a search is made to find instances involving the new object. Example: Parameter app_nil_beg : forall A (l:list A), l = nil ++ l. new instance Build_Monoid_autoinstance_12 : (forall H : Type, Monoid (list H) app nil) := (fun H : Type => Build_Monoid (list H) app nil ass_app (app_nil_beg H) (app_nil_end H)) For the developper ================== * New yet-to-be-named datastructure in [lib/dnet.ml]. Should do efficient one-to-many or many-to-one non-linear first-order filtering, faster than traditional methods like discrimination nets (so yes, the name of the file should probably be changed). * Comes with its application to Coq's terms [pretyping/term_dnet.ml]. Terms are represented so that you can search for patterns under products as fast as you would do not under products, and facilities are provided to express other kind of searches (head of application, under equality, whatever you need that can be expressed as a pattern) * A global repository of all objects defined and imported is maintained [toplevel/libtypes.ml], with all search facilities described before. * A certain kind of proof search in [toplevel/autoinstance.ml]. For the moment it is specialized on finding instances, but it should be generalizable and reusable (more on this in a few months :-). The bad news ============ * Compile time should increase by 0 to 15% (depending on the size of the Requires done). This could be optimized greatly by not performing substitutions on modules which are not functors I think. There may also be some inefficiency sources left in my code though... * Vo's also gain a little bit of weight (20%). That's inevitable if I wanted to store the big datastructure of objects, but could also be optimized some more. git-svn-id: svn+ssh://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/coq/trunk@11794 85f007b7-540e-0410-9357-904b9bb8a0f7
