Changes from 1.3 to 1.4

  • Bugfixes, in particular #294, #299, #304 concerning various unsoundnesses uncovered by the power of formalization!

  • New fast instantiate_evar primitive which doesn't check types prior to instantiate the evar. This is sound because the type of the evar and of its definition are expected to be unifiable.

  • Added RedReduction reduction constructor that, given a string, reduces the term according to the name of the reduction scheme, as in:

  Local Declare Reduction test := lazy beta delta [id].

  ... let t := reduce (RedReduction "test") (id (1+1)) in ...

  • Eta-reduction for [#] patterns.

  • Several bugfixes and performance improvements (see commits for details).

Changes from 1.2 to 1.3

  • Bugfixes and performance improvements.

Changes from 1.1 to 1.2

Primitives:

  • Added the existing_instance primitive that mirrors Coq's Existing Instance vernacular. Together with declare, existing_instance can be used to declare type class instances.

Debugging:

  • Set_Debug_Exceptions now enables backtraces for uncaught exceptions. The traces show definitions and some internal events encountered on the way to the uncaught exception.

Notation:

  • Combining the .. <- ..; .. (M.bind) notation and Coq's support for patterns (as in let '(existT _ x P) = .. in ..) now works without adding an additional apostrophe '. For example, '(existT _ x P) <- some_function(); .. is now legal. Previously, one had to write ''(existT _ x P) <- some_function(); ... This old syntax is no longer available.

Vernacular:

  • Mtac Do now accepts its argument without parentheses.
  • Mtac Do now typechecks its argument and only executes code of type M _.
