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, Sigma 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 : Environ.env -> evar_map

The empty evar map with given universe context, taking its initial universes from env.

val from_ctx : UState.t -> evar_map

The empty evar map with given universe context

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 new_evar : evar_map -> ?⁠name:Names.Id.t -> ?⁠typeclass_candidate:bool -> evar_info -> evar_map * Evar.t

Creates a fresh evar mapping to the given information.

val add : evar_map -> Evar.t -> evar_info -> evar_map

add sigma ev info adds ev with evar info info in sigma. Precondition: ev must not preexist in sigma.

val find : evar_map -> Evar.t -> evar_info

Recover the data associated to an evar.

val find_undefined : evar_map -> Evar.t -> evar_info

Same as find but restricted to undefined evars. For efficiency reasons.

val remove : evar_map -> Evar.t -> evar_map

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

val mem : evar_map -> Evar.t -> bool

Whether an evar is present in an evarmap.

val fold : (Evar.t -> evar_info -> 'a -> 'a) -> evar_map -> 'a -> 'a

Apply a function to all evars and their associated info in an evarmap.

val fold_undefined : (Evar.t -> evar_info -> 'a -> 'a) -> evar_map -> 'a -> 'a

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

val raw_map : (Evar.t -> evar_info -> evar_info) -> 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 -> evar_info -> 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.

val cmap : (econstr -> econstr) -> evar_map -> evar_map

Map the function on all terms in the evar map.

val is_evar : evar_map -> Evar.t -> bool

Instantiating partial terms
exception NotInstantiatedEvar
val existential_value : evar_map -> econstr Constr.pexistential -> econstr

existential_value sigma ev raises NotInstantiatedEvar if ev has no body and Not_found if it does not exist in sigma

val existential_value0 : evar_map -> Constr.existential -> Constr.constr
val existential_type : evar_map -> econstr Constr.pexistential -> etypes
val existential_type0 : evar_map -> Constr.existential -> Constr.types
val existential_opt_value : evar_map -> econstr Constr.pexistential -> econstr option

Same as existential_value but returns an option instead of raising an exception.

val existential_opt_value0 : evar_map -> Constr.existential -> Constr.constr option
val evar_instance_array : (Constr.named_declaration -> 'a -> bool) -> evar_info -> 'a array -> (Names.Id.t * 'a) list
val instantiate_evar_array : evar_info -> econstr -> econstr array -> econstr
val evars_reset_evd : ?⁠with_conv_pbs:bool -> ?⁠with_univs:bool -> evar_map -> evar_map -> evar_map

spiwack: this function seems to somewhat break the abstraction.

Misc
val restrict : Evar.t -> Filter.t -> ?⁠candidates:econstr list -> ?⁠src:Evar_kinds.t Loc.located -> evar_map -> evar_map * Evar.t

Restrict an undefined evar into a new evar by filtering context and possibly limiting the instances to a set of candidates (candidates are filtered according to the filter)

val is_restricted_evar : evar_map -> Evar.t -> Evar.t option

Tell if an evar comes from restriction of another evar, and if yes, which

val set_typeclass_evars : evar_map -> Evar.Set.t -> evar_map

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

Sort variables

Evar maps also keep track of the universe constraints defined at a given point. This section defines the relevant manipulation functions.

exception UniversesDiffer
val add_universe_constraints : evar_map -> UnivProblem.Set.t -> evar_map

Add the given universe unification constraints to the evar map.

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
Enriching with evar maps
type 'a sigma = {
it : 'a;

The base object.

sigma : evar_map;

The added unification state.

}

The type constructor 'a sigma adds an evar map to an object of type 'a.

val sig_it : 'a sigma -> 'a
val sig_sig : 'a sigma -> evar_map
val on_sig : 'a sigma -> (evar_map -> evar_map * 'b) -> 'a sigma * 'b
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.

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_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 clear_metas : evar_map -> evar_map
val meta_merge : ?⁠with_univs:bool -> evar_map -> evar_map -> evar_map
