Class type

This module defines the internal representation of global declarations. This includes global constants/axioms, mutual inductive definitions, modules and module types

type set_predicativity =

  2. | PredicativeSet
type engagement = set_predicativity
Representation of constants (Definition/Axiom)

Non-universe polymorphic mode polymorphism (Coq 8.2+): inductives and constants hiding inductives are implicitly polymorphic when applied to parameters, on the universes appearing in the whnf of their parameters and their conclusion, in a template style.

In truly universe polymorphic mode, we always use RegularArity.

type template_arity = {
  1. template_level : Univ.Universe.t;
}
type template_universes = {
  1. template_param_levels : Univ.Level.t option list;
  2. template_context : Univ.ContextSet.t;
}
type ('a, 'b) declaration_arity =
  1. | RegularArity of 'a
  2. | TemplateArity of 'b

Inlining level of parameters at functor applications. None means no inlining

type inline = int option

A constant can have no body (axiom/parameter), or a transparent body, or an opaque one

type ('a, 'opaque) constant_def =
  1. | Undef of inline
    (*

    a global assumption

    *)
  2. | Def of 'a
    (*

    or a transparent global definition

    *)
  3. | OpaqueDef of 'opaque
    (*

    or an opaque global definition

    *)
  4. | Primitive of CPrimitives.t
    (*

    or a primitive operation

    *)
type universes =
  1. | Monomorphic of Univ.ContextSet.t
  2. | Polymorphic of Univ.AUContext.t
type typing_flags = {
  1. check_guarded : bool;
    (*

    If false then fixed points and co-fixed points are assumed to be total.

    *)
  2. check_positive : bool;
    (*

    If false then inductive types are assumed positive and co-inductive types are assumed productive.

    *)
  3. check_universes : bool;
    (*

    If false universe constraints are not checked

    *)
  4. conv_oracle : Conv_oracle.oracle;
    (*

    Unfolding strategies for conversion

    *)
  5. share_reduction : bool;
    (*

    Use by-need reduction algorithm

    *)
  6. enable_VM : bool;
    (*

    If false, all VM conversions fall back to interpreted ones

    *)
  7. enable_native_compiler : bool;
    (*

    If false, all native conversions fall back to VM ones

    *)
  8. indices_matter : bool;
    (*

    The universe of an inductive type must be above that of its indices.

    *)
  9. cumulative_sprop : bool;
    (*

    SProp <= Type

    *)
  10. allow_uip : bool;
    (*

    Allow definitional UIP (breaks termination)

    *)
}

The typing_flags are instructions to the type-checker which modify its behaviour. The typing flags used in the type-checking of a constant are tracked in their constant_body so that they can be displayed to the user.

type 'opaque constant_body = {
  1. const_hyps : Constr.named_context;
    (*

    New: younger hyp at top

    *)
  2. const_body : (Constr.t, 'opaque) constant_def;

  4. const_relevance : Sorts.relevance;
  5. const_body_code : Vmemitcodes.body_code option;
  6. const_universes : universes;
  7. const_inline_code : bool;
  8. const_typing_flags : typing_flags;
    (*

    The typing options which were used for type-checking.

    *)

type nested_type =
  1. | NestedInd of Names.inductive
  2. | NestedPrimitive of Names.Constant.t

Representation of mutual inductive types in the kernel

type recarg =
  1. | Norec
  2. | Mrec of Names.inductive
  3. | Nested of nested_type
type wf_paths = recarg Rtree.t
   Inductive I1 (params) : U1 := c11 : T11 | ... | c1p1 : T1p1
   ...
   with      In (params) : Un := cn1 : Tn1 | ... | cnpn : Tnpn

Record information: If the type is not a record, then NotRecord If the type is a non-primitive record, then FakeRecord If it is a primitive record, for every type in the block, we get:

  • The identifier for the binder name of the record in primitive projections.
  • The constants associated to each projection.
  • The projection types (under parameters).

The kernel does not exploit the difference between NotRecord and FakeRecord. It is mostly used by extraction, and should be extruded from the kernel at some point.

Module declarations

Functor expressions are forced to be on top of other expressions

type ('ty, 'a) functorize =
  1. | NoFunctor of 'a
  2. | MoreFunctor of Names.MBId.t * 'ty * ('ty, 'a) functorize

The fully-algebraic module expressions : names, applications, 'with ...'. They correspond to the user entries of non-interactive modules. They will be later expanded into module structures in Mod_typing, and won't play any role into the kernel after that : they are kept only for short module printing and for extraction.

type with_declaration =
  1. | WithMod of Names.Id.t list * Names.ModPath.t
  2. | WithDef of Names.Id.t list * Constr.constr * Univ.AUContext.t option
type module_alg_expr =
  1. | MEident of Names.ModPath.t
  2. | MEapply of module_alg_expr * Names.ModPath.t
  3. | MEwith of module_alg_expr * with_declaration

A component of a module structure

type structure_field_body =
  1. | SFBconst of Opaqueproof.opaque constant_body
  2. | SFBmind of mutual_inductive_body
  3. | SFBmodule of module_body
  4. | SFBmodtype of module_type_body

A module structure is a list of labeled components.

Note : we may encounter now (at most) twice the same label in a structure_body, once for a module (SFBmodule or SFBmodtype) and once for an object (SFBconst or SFBmind)

and structure_body = (Names.Label.t * structure_field_body) list

A module signature is a structure, with possibly functors on top of it

and module_signature = (module_type_body, structure_body) functorize

A module expression is an algebraic expression, possibly functorized.

and module_expression = (module_type_body, module_alg_expr) functorize
and module_implementation =
  1. | Abstract
    (*

    no accessible implementation

    *)
  2. | Algebraic of module_expression
    (*

    non-interactive algebraic expression

    *)
  3. | Struct of module_signature
    (*

    interactive body

    *)
  4. | FullStruct
    (*

    special case of Struct : the body is exactly mod_type

    *)
and 'a generic_module_body = {
  1. mod_mp : Names.ModPath.t;
    (*

    absolute path of the module

    *)
  2. mod_expr : 'a;
    (*

    implementation

    *)
  3. mod_type : module_signature;
    (*

    expanded type

    *)
  4. mod_type_alg : module_expression option;
    (*

    algebraic type

    *)
  5. mod_delta : Mod_subst.delta_resolver;
    (*

    quotiented set of equivalent constants and inductive names

    *)
  6. mod_retroknowledge : 'a module_retroknowledge;
}

For a module, there are five possible situations:

  • Declare Module M : T then mod_expr = Abstract; mod_type_alg = Some T
  • Module M := E then mod_expr = Algebraic E; mod_type_alg = None
  • Module M : T := E then mod_expr = Algebraic E; mod_type_alg = Some T
  • Module M. ... End M then mod_expr = FullStruct; mod_type_alg = None
  • Module M : T. ... End M then mod_expr = Struct; mod_type_alg = Some T And of course, all these situations may be functors or not.
and module_body = module_implementation generic_module_body

A module_type_body is just a module_body with no implementation and also an empty mod_retroknowledge. Its mod_type_alg contains the algebraic definition of this module type, or None if it has been built interactively.

and module_type_body = unit generic_module_body
and _ module_retroknowledge =
  1. | ModBodyRK : Retroknowledge.action list -> module_implementation module_retroknowledge
  2. | ModTypeRK : unit module_retroknowledge

Extra invariants :

  • No MEwith inside a mod_expr implementation : the 'with' syntax is only supported for module types
  • A module application is atomic, for instance ((M N) P) : * the head of MEapply can only be another MEapply or a MEident * the argument of MEapply is now directly forced to be a ModPath.t.
