        Default application elaborator #

        • ellipsis : Bool

          true if .. was used

        • explicit : Bool

          true if @ modifier was used

        • resultIsOutParamSupport : Bool

          If the result type of an application is the outParam of some local instance, then special support may be needed because type class resolution interacts poorly with coercions in this kind of situation. This flag enables the special support.

          The idea is quite simple, if the result type is the outParam of some local instance, we simply execute synthesizeSyntheticMVarsUsingDefault. We added this feature to make sure examples as follows are correctly elaborated.

          class GetElem (Cont : Type u) (Idx : Type v) (Elem : outParam (Type w)) where
            getElem (xs : Cont) (i : Idx) : Elem
          
          export GetElem (getElem)
          
          instance : GetElem (Array α) Nat α where
            getElem xs i := xs.get ⟨i, sorry⟩
          
          opaque f : Option BoolBool
          opaque g : BoolBool
          
          def bad (xs : Array Bool) : Bool :=
            let x := getElem xs 0
            f x && g x
          

          Without the special support, Lean fails at g x saying x has type Option Bool but is expected to have type Bool. From the user's point of view this is a bug, since let x := getElem xs 0 clearly constrains x to be Bool, but we only obtain this information after we apply the OfNat default instance for 0.

          Before converging to this solution, we have tried to create a "coercion placeholder" when resultIsOutParamSupport = true, but it did not work well in practice. For example, it failed in the example above.

        Instances For

          Auxiliary structure for elaborating the application f args namedArgs.

          • fType : Lean.Expr
          • Remaining regular arguments.

          • remaining named arguments to be processed.

          • expectedType? : Option Lean.Expr
          • etaArgs : Array Lean.Expr

            When named arguments are provided and explicit arguments occurring before them are missing, the elaborator eta-expands the declaration. For example,

            def f (x y : Nat) := x + y
            #check f (y := 5)
            -- fun x => f x 5
            

            etaArgs stores the fresh free variables for implementing the eta-expansion. When .. is used, eta-expansion is disabled, and missing arguments are treated as _.

          • toSetErrorCtx : Array Lean.MVarId

            Metavariables that we need to set the error context using the application being built.

          • instMVars : Array Lean.MVarId

            Metavariables for the instance implicit arguments that have already been processed.

          • propagateExpected : Bool

            The following field is used to implement the propagateExpectedType heuristic. It is set to true true when expectedType still has to be propagated.

          • resultTypeOutParam? : Option Lean.MVarId

                  Eliminator-like function application elaborator #

                  Information about an eliminator used by the elab-as-elim elaborator. This is not to be confused with Lean.Meta.ElimInfo, which is for induction and cases. The elab-as-elim routine is less restrictive in what counts as an eliminator, and it doesn't need to have a strict notion of what is a "target" — all it cares about are

                  1. that the return type of a function is of the form m ... where m is a parameter (unlike induction and cases eliminators, the arguments to m, known as "discriminants", can be any expressions, not just parameters), and
                  2. which arguments should be eagerly elaborated, to make discriminants be as elaborated as possible for the expected type generalization procedure, and which should be postponed (since they are the "minor premises").

                  Note that the routine isn't doing induction/cases on particular expressions. The purpose of elab-as-elim is to successfully solve the higher-order unification problem between the return type of the function and the expected type.

                  • elimExpr : Lean.Expr

                    The eliminator.

                  • elimType : Lean.Expr

                    The type of the eliminator.

                  • motivePos : Nat

                    The position of the motive parameter.

                  • majorsPos : Array Nat

                    Positions of "major" parameters (those that should be eagerly elaborated because they can contribute to the motive inference procedure). All parameters that are neither the motive nor a major parameter are "minor" parameters. The major parameters include all of the parameters that transitively appear in the motive's arguments, as well as "first-order" arguments that include such parameters, since they too can help with elaborating discriminants.

                    For example, in the following theorem the argument h : a = b should be elaborated eagerly because it contains b, which occurs in motive b.

                    theorem Eq.subst' {α} {motive : α → Prop} {a b : α} (h : a = b) : motive a → motive b
                    

                    For another example, the term isEmptyElim (α := α) is an underapplied eliminator, and it needs argument α to be elaborated eagerly to create a type-correct motive.

                    def isEmptyElim [IsEmpty α] {p : α → Sort _} (a : α) : p a := ...
                    example {α : Type _} [IsEmpty α] : id (α → False) := isEmptyElim (α := α)

                                              When applied to f, effectively expands to BaseStruct.fieldName (self := Struct.toBase f). This is a special named argument where it suppresses any explicit arguments depending on it so that type parameters don't need to be supplied.

                                            • projIdx: Lean.NameNatLean.Elab.Term.LValResolution

                                              Similar to projFn, but for extracting field indexed by idx. Works for structure-like inductive types in general.

                                              When applied to f, effectively expands to constName ... (Struct.toBase f), with the argument placed in the correct positional argument if possible, or otherwise as a named argument. The Struct.toBase is not present if baseStructName == structName, in which case these do not need to be structures. Supports generalized field notation.

                                              Like const, but with fvar instead of constName. The fullName is the name of the recursive function, and baseName is the base name of the type to search for in the parameter list.

                                                Interaction between errToSorry and observing. #

                                                observing x does not check for synthetic sorry's, just an exception. Thus, it may think x worked when it didn't if a synthetic sorry was introduced. We decided that checking for synthetic sorrys at observing is not a good solution because it would not be clear to decide what the "main" error message for the alternative is. When the result contains a synthetic sorry, it is not clear which error message corresponds to the sorry. Moreover, while executing x, many error messages may have been logged. Recall that we need an error per alternative at mergeFailures.

                                                Thus, we decided to set errToSorry to false whenever processing choice nodes and overloaded symbols.

                                                Important: we rely on the property that after errToSorry is set to false, no elaboration function executed by x will reset it to true.
