Module Evd

This file defines the pervasive unification state used everywhere in Coq tactic engine. It is very low-level and most of the functions exported here are irrelevant to the standard API user. Consider using Evarutil or Proofview instead.

A unification state (of type evar_map) is primarily a finite mapping from existential variables to records containing the type of the evar (evar_concl), the context under which it was introduced (evar_hyps) and its definition (evar_body). evar_extra is used to add any other kind of information.

It also contains conversion constraints, debugging information and information about meta variables.

Unification state

type evar_map

Type of unification state. Essentially a bunch of state-passing data needed to handle incremental term construction.

val empty : evar_map

The empty evar map.

val from_env : ?binders:Names.lident list -> Environ.env -> evar_map

The empty evar map with given universe context, taking its initial universes from env, possibly with initial universe binders. This is the main entry point at the beginning of the process of interpreting a declaration (e.g. before entering the interpretation of a Theorem statement).

val from_ctx : UState.t -> evar_map

The empty evar map with given universe context. This is the main entry point when resuming from a already interpreted declaration (e.g. after having interpreted a Theorem statement and preparing to open a goal).

val is_empty : evar_map -> bool

Whether an evarmap is empty.

val has_undefined : evar_map -> bool

has_undefined sigma is true if and only if there are uninstantiated evars in sigma.

val has_given_up : evar_map -> bool

has_given_up sigma is true if and only if there are given up evars in sigma.

val has_shelved : evar_map -> bool

has_shelved sigma is true if and only if there are shelved evars in sigma.

val new_pure_evar : ?src:Evar_kinds.t Loc.located -> ?filter:Filter.t -> ?relevance:erelevance -> ?abstract_arguments:Abstraction.t -> ?candidates:econstr list -> ?name:Names.Id.t -> ?typeclass_candidate:bool -> ?principal:bool -> Environ.named_context_val -> evar_map -> etypes -> evar_map * Evar.t

Low-level interface to create an evar.

  • parameter src

    User-facing source for the evar

  • parameter filter

    See Evd.Filter, must be the same length as named_context_val

  • parameter name

    A name for the evar

  • parameter principal

    Whether the evar is the principal goal

  • parameter named_context_val

    The context of the evar

  • parameter types

    The type of conclusion of the evar

val add : evar_map -> Evar.t -> 'a evar_info -> evar_map

val find_defined : evar_map -> Evar.t -> defined evar_info option
val find : evar_map -> Evar.t -> any_evar_info

Recover the data associated to an evar.

Remove an evar from an evar map. Use with caution.

val undefine : evar_map -> Evar.t -> etypes -> evar_map

Remove the body of an evar. Only there for backward compat, do not use.

map : r. Evar.t -> 'r evar_info -> 'r evar_info;
}
val raw_map : map -> evar_map -> evar_map

Apply the given function to all evars in the map. Beware: this function expects the argument function to preserve the kind of evar_body, i.e. it must send Evar_empty to Evar_empty and Evar_defined c to some Evar_defined c'.

val raw_map_undefined : (Evar.t -> undefined evar_info -> undefined evar_info) -> evar_map -> evar_map

Same as raw_map, but restricted to undefined evars. For efficiency reasons.

val define : Evar.t -> econstr -> evar_map -> evar_map

Set the body of an evar to the given constr. It is expected that:

  • The evar is already present in the evarmap.
  • The evar is not defined in the evarmap yet.
  • All the evars present in the constr should be present in the evar map.
val define_with_evar : Evar.t -> econstr -> evar_map -> evar_map

Same as define ev body evd, except the body must be an existential variable ev'. This additionally makes ev' inherit the obligation and typeclass flags of ev.

  • raises UniversesDiffer

    in case a first-order unification fails.

  • raises UniverseInconsistency

    .

Extra data

Evar maps can contain arbitrary data, allowing to use an extensible state. As evar maps are theoretically used in a strict state-passing style, such additional data should be passed along transparently. Some old and bug-prone code tends to drop them nonetheless, so you should keep cautious.

module Store : Store.S

Datatype used to store additional information in evar maps.

val get_extra_data : evar_map -> Store.t
val set_extra_data : Store.t -> evar_map -> evar_map
The state monad with state an evar map
module MonadR : Monad.S with type +'a t = evar_map -> evar_map * 'a
module Monad : Monad.S with type +'a t = evar_map -> 'a * evar_map
Meta machinery

These functions are almost deprecated. They were used before the introduction of the full-fledged evar calculus. In an ideal world, they should be removed. Alas, some parts of the code still use them. Do not use in newly-written code.

module Metaset : Util.Set.S with type elt = Constr.metavariable
module Metamap : Util.Map.ExtS with type key = Constr.metavariable and module Set := Metaset
type 'a freelisted = {
rebus : 'a;
freemetas : Metaset.t;
}
val metavars_of : econstr -> Metaset.t
val mk_freelisted : econstr -> econstr freelisted
val map_fl : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a freelisted -> 'b freelisted

Status of an instance found by unification wrt to the meta it solves:

type instance_constraint =
| IsSuperType
| IsSubType
| Conv
val eq_instance_constraint : instance_constraint -> instance_constraint -> bool

Status of the unification of the type of an instance against the type of the meta it instantiates:

type instance_typing_status =
| CoerceToType
| TypeNotProcessed
| TypeProcessed

Status of an instance together with the status of its type unification

Clausal environments

type conv_pb = Conversion.conv_pb

Unification constraints

type evar_constraint = conv_pb * Environ.env * econstr * econstr
val add_conv_pb : ?tail:bool -> evar_constraint -> evar_map -> evar_map

The following two functions are for internal use only, see Evarutil.add_unification_pb for a safe interface.

val conv_pbs : evar_map -> evar_constraint list
val extract_conv_pbs : evar_map -> (evar_constraint -> bool) -> evar_map * evar_constraint list
val extract_changed_conv_pbs : evar_map -> (Evar.Set.t -> evar_constraint -> bool) -> evar_map * evar_constraint list
val extract_all_conv_pbs : evar_map -> evar_map * evar_constraint list
val loc_of_conv_pb : evar_map -> evar_constraint -> Loc.t option

The following functions return the set of undefined evars contained in the object.

val evars_of_term : evar_map -> econstr -> Evar.Set.t

including evars in instances of evars

val evars_of_named_context : evar_map -> (econstr, etypes, erelevance) Context.Named.pt -> Evar.Set.t

val meta_value : evar_map -> Constr.metavariable -> econstr

val meta_declare : Constr.metavariable -> etypes -> ?name:Names.Name.t -> evar_map -> evar_map
val clear_metas : evar_map -> evar_map
val meta_merge : clbinding Metamap.t -> evar_map -> evar_map

meta_merge evd1 evd2 returns evd2 extended with the metas of evd1

FIXME: Nothing to do here

Rigid or flexible universe variables.

UnivRigid variables are user-provided or come from an explicit Type in the source, we do not minimize them or unify them eagerly.

UnivFlexible alg variables are fresh universe variables of polymorphic constants or generated during refinement, sometimes in algebraic position (i.e. not appearing in the term at the moment of creation). They are the candidates for minimization (if alg, to an algebraic universe) and unified eagerly in the first-order unification heurstic.
