structure Lean.Parser.Category : Type

Auxiliary type used to represent syntax categories. We mainly use auxiliary definitions with this type to attach doc strings to syntax categories.

def Lean.Parser.Category.command : Lean.Parser.Category

command is the syntax category for things that appear at the top level of a lean file. For example, def foo := 1 is a command, as is namespace Foo and end Foo. Commands generally have an effect on the state of adding something to the environment (like a new definition), as well as commands like variable which modify future commands within a scope.

Equations

• Lean.Parser.Category.command = { }

def Lean.Parser.Category.term : Lean.Parser.Category

term is the builtin syntax category for terms. A term denotes an expression in lean's type theory, for example 2 + 2 is a term. The difference between Term and Expr is that the former is a kind of syntax, while the latter is the result of elaboration. For example by simp is also a Term, but it elaborates to different Exprs depending on the context.

Equations

• Lean.Parser.Category.term = { }

def Lean.Parser.Category.tactic : Lean.Parser.Category

tactic is the builtin syntax category for tactics. These appear after by in proofs, and they are programs that take in the proof context (the hypotheses in scope plus the type of the term to synthesize) and construct a term of the expected type. For example, simp is a tactic, used in:

example : 2 + 2 = 4 := by simp

Equations

• Lean.Parser.Category.tactic = { }

def Lean.Parser.Category.doElem : Lean.Parser.Category

doElem is a builtin syntax category for elements that can appear in the do notation. For example, let x ← e is a doElem, and a do block consists of a list of doElems.

Equations

• Lean.Parser.Category.doElem = { }

def Lean.Parser.Category.level : Lean.Parser.Category

level is a builtin syntax category for universe levels. This is the u in Sort u: it can contain max and imax, addition with constants, and variables.

Equations

• Lean.Parser.Category.level = { }

def Lean.Parser.Category.attr : Lean.Parser.Category

attr is a builtin syntax category for attributes. Declarations can be annotated with attributes using the @[...] notation.

Equations

• Lean.Parser.Category.attr = { }

def Lean.Parser.Category.stx : Lean.Parser.Category

stx is a builtin syntax category for syntax. This is the abbreviated parser notation used inside syntax and macro declarations.

Equations

• Lean.Parser.Category.stx = { }

def Lean.Parser.Category.prio : Lean.Parser.Category

prio is a builtin syntax category for priorities. Priorities are used in many different attributes. Higher numbers denote higher priority, and for example typeclass search will try high priority instances before low priority. In addition to literals like 37, you can also use low, mid, high, as well as add and subtract priorities.

Equations

• Lean.Parser.Category.prio = { }

def Lean.Parser.Category.prec : Lean.Parser.Category

prec is a builtin syntax category for precedences. A precedence is a value that expresses how tightly a piece of syntax binds: for example 1 + 2 * 3 is parsed as 1 + (2 * 3) because * has a higher pr0ecedence than +. Higher numbers denote higher precedence. In addition to literals like 37, there are some special named priorities:

• arg for the precedence of function arguments
• max for the highest precedence used in term parsers (not actually the maximum possible value)
• lead for the precedence of terms not supposed to be used as arguments and you can also add and subtract precedences.

Equations

• Lean.Parser.Category.prec = { }

Equations

def «stx_+» : Lean.TrailingParserDescr

p+ is shorthand for many1(p). It uses parser p 1 or more times, and produces a nullNode containing the array of parsed results. This parser has arity 1.

If p has arity more than 1, it is auto-grouped in the items generated by the parser.

Equations

• «stx_+» = Lean.ParserDescr.trailingNode `stx_+ 1023 1024 (Lean.ParserDescr.symbol "+")

def «stx_*» : Lean.TrailingParserDescr

p* is shorthand for many(p). It uses parser p 0 or more times, and produces a nullNode containing the array of parsed results. This parser has arity 1.

If p has arity more than 1, it is auto-grouped in the items generated by the parser.

Equations

• «stx_*» = Lean.ParserDescr.trailingNode `stx_* 1023 1024 (Lean.ParserDescr.symbol "*")

def stx_? : Lean.TrailingParserDescr

(p)? is shorthand for optional(p). It uses parser p 0 or 1 times, and produces a nullNode containing the array of parsed results. This parser has arity 1.

p is allowed to have arity n > 1 (in which case the node will have either 0 or n children), but if it has arity 0 then the result will be ambiguous.

Because ? is an identifier character, ident? will not work as intended. You have to write either ident ? or (ident)? for it to parse as the ? combinator applied to the ident parser.

Equations

• stx_? = Lean.ParserDescr.trailingNode `stx_? 1023 1024 (Lean.ParserDescr.symbol "?")

def «stx_<|>_» : Lean.TrailingParserDescr

p1 <|> p2 is shorthand for orelse(p1, p2), and parses either p1 or p2. It does not backtrack, meaning that if p1 consumes at least one token then p2 will not be tried. Therefore, the parsers should all differ in their first token. The atomic(p) parser combinator can be used to locally backtrack a parser. (For full backtracking, consider using extensible syntax classes instead.)

On success, if the inner parser does not generate exactly one node, it will be automatically wrapped in a group node, so the result will always be arity 1.

The <|> combinator does not generate a node of its own, and in particular does not tag the inner parsers to distinguish them, which can present a problem when reconstructing the parse. A well formed <|> parser should use disjoint node kinds for p1 and p2.

Equations

• «stx_<|>_» = Lean.ParserDescr.trailingNode `stx_<|>_ 2 2 (Lean.ParserDescr.binary `andthen (Lean.ParserDescr.symbol " <|> ") (Lean.ParserDescr.cat `stx 1))

def «stx_,*» : Lean.TrailingParserDescr

p,* is shorthand for sepBy(p, ","). It parses 0 or more occurrences of p separated by ,, that is: empty | p | p,p | p,p,p | ....

It produces a nullNode containing a SepArray with the interleaved parser results. It has arity 1, and auto-groups its component parser if needed.

Equations

• «stx_,*» = Lean.ParserDescr.trailingNode `stx_,* 1023 1024 (Lean.ParserDescr.symbol ",*")

def «stx_,+» : Lean.TrailingParserDescr

p,+ is shorthand for sepBy(p, ","). It parses 1 or more occurrences of p separated by ,, that is: p | p,p | p,p,p | ....

It produces a nullNode containing a SepArray with the interleaved parser results. It has arity 1, and auto-groups its component parser if needed.

Equations

• «stx_,+» = Lean.ParserDescr.trailingNode `stx_,+ 1023 1024 (Lean.ParserDescr.symbol ",+")

def «stx_,*,?» : Lean.TrailingParserDescr

p,*,? is shorthand for sepBy(p, ",", allowTrailingSep). It parses 0 or more occurrences of p separated by ,, possibly including a trailing ,, that is: empty | p | p, | p,p | p,p, | p,p,p | ....

It produces a nullNode containing a SepArray with the interleaved parser results. It has arity 1, and auto-groups its component parser if needed.

Equations

• «stx_,*,?» = Lean.ParserDescr.trailingNode `stx_,*,? 1023 1024 (Lean.ParserDescr.symbol ",*,?")

def «stx_,+,?» : Lean.TrailingParserDescr

p,+,? is shorthand for sepBy1(p, ",", allowTrailingSep). It parses 1 or more occurrences of p separated by ,, possibly including a trailing ,, that is: p | p, | p,p | p,p, | p,p,p | ....

It produces a nullNode containing a SepArray with the interleaved parser results. It has arity 1, and auto-groups its component parser if needed.

Equations

• «stx_,+,?» = Lean.ParserDescr.trailingNode `stx_,+,? 1023 1024 (Lean.ParserDescr.symbol ",+,?")

def stx!_ : Lean.ParserDescr

!p parses the negation of p. That is, it fails if p succeeds, and otherwise parses nothing. It has arity 0.

Equations

• stx!_ = Lean.ParserDescr.node `stx!_ 1023 (Lean.ParserDescr.binary `andthen (Lean.ParserDescr.nonReservedSymbol "!" false) (Lean.ParserDescr.cat `stx 1024))

def rawNatLit : Lean.ParserDescr

The nat_lit n macro constructs "raw numeric literals". This corresponds to the Expr.lit (.natVal n) constructor in the Expr data type.

Normally, when you write a numeral like #check 37, the parser turns this into an application of OfNat.ofNat to the raw literal 37 to cast it into the target type, even if this type is Nat (so the cast is the identity function). But sometimes it is necessary to talk about the raw numeral directly, especially when proving properties about the ofNat function itself.

Equations

• rawNatLit = Lean.ParserDescr.node `rawNatLit 1022 (Lean.ParserDescr.binary `andthen (Lean.ParserDescr.symbol "nat_lit ") (Lean.ParserDescr.const `num))

def «term_∘_» : Lean.TrailingParserDescr

Function composition is the act of pipelining the result of one function, to the input of another, creating an entirely new function. Example:

#eval Function.comp List.reverse (List.drop 2) [3, 2, 4, 1]
-- [1, 4]

You can use the notation f ∘ g as shorthand for Function.comp f g.

#eval (List.reverse ∘ List.drop 2) [3, 2, 4, 1]
-- [1, 4]

A simpler way of thinking about it, is that List.reverse ∘ List.drop 2 is equivalent to fun xs => List.reverse (List.drop 2 xs), the benefit is that the meaning of composition is obvious, and the representation is compact.

Equations

• «term_∘_» = Lean.ParserDescr.trailingNode `term_∘_ 90 91 (Lean.ParserDescr.binary `andthen (Lean.ParserDescr.symbol " ∘ ") (Lean.ParserDescr.cat `term 90))

def «term_×_» : Lean.TrailingParserDescr

Product type (aka pair). You can use α × β as notation for Prod α β. Given a : α and b : β, Prod.mk a b : Prod α β. You can use (a, b) as notation for Prod.mk a b. Moreover, (a, b, c) is notation for Prod.mk a (Prod.mk b c). Given p : Prod α β, p.1 : α and p.2 : β. They are short for Prod.fst p and Prod.snd p respectively. You can also write p.fst and p.snd.

def «term_=_» : Lean.TrailingParserDescr

The equality relation. It has one introduction rule, Eq.refl. We use a = b as notation for Eq a b. A fundamental property of equality is that it is an equivalence relation.

variable (α : Type) (a b c d : α)
variable (hab : a = b) (hcb : c = b) (hcd : c = d)

example : a = d :=
  Eq.trans (Eq.trans hab (Eq.symm hcb)) hcd

Equality is much more than an equivalence relation, however. It has the important property that every assertion respects the equivalence, in the sense that we can substitute equal expressions without changing the truth value. That is, given h1 : a = b and h2 : p a, we can construct a proof for p b using substitution: Eq.subst h1 h2. Example:

example (α : Type) (a b : α) (p : α → Prop)
        (h1 : a = b) (h2 : p a) : p b :=
  Eq.subst h1 h2

example (α : Type) (a b : α) (p : α → Prop)
    (h1 : a = b) (h2 : p a) : p b :=
  h1 ▸ h2

The triangle in the second presentation is a macro built on top of Eq.subst and Eq.symm, and you can enter it by typing \t. For more information: Equality

Remark: the infix commands above ensure a delaborator is generated for each relations. We redefine the macros below to be able to use the auxiliary binrel% elaboration helper for binary relations. It has better support for applying coercions. For example, suppose we have binrel% Eq n i where n : Nat and i : Int. The default elaborator fails because we don't have a coercion from Int to Nat, but binrel% succeeds because it also tries a coercion from Nat to Int even when the nat occurs before the int.

Equations

• «term_∉_» = Lean.ParserDescr.trailingNode `term_∉_ 50 50 (Lean.ParserDescr.binary `andthen (Lean.ParserDescr.symbol " ∉ ") (Lean.ParserDescr.cat `term 50))

def «term_::_» : Lean.TrailingParserDescr

If a : α and l : List α, then cons a l, or a :: l, is the list whose first element is a and with l as the rest of the list.

Equations

• «term_::_» = Lean.ParserDescr.trailingNode `term_::_ 67 68 (Lean.ParserDescr.binary `andthen (Lean.ParserDescr.symbol " :: ") (Lean.ParserDescr.cat `term 67))

def «term_<|>_» : Lean.TrailingParserDescr

a <|> b executes a and returns the result, unless it fails in which case it executes and returns b. Because b is not always executed, it is passed as a thunk so it can be forced only when needed. The meaning of this notation is type-dependent.

Equations

• «term_<|>_» = Lean.ParserDescr.trailingNode `term_<|>_ 20 21 (Lean.ParserDescr.binary `andthen (Lean.ParserDescr.symbol " <|> ") (Lean.ParserDescr.cat `term 20))

def «term_>>_» : Lean.TrailingParserDescr

a >> b executes a, ignores the result, and then executes b. If a fails then b is not executed. Because b is not always executed, it is passed as a thunk so it can be forced only when needed. The meaning of this notation is type-dependent.

Equations

• «term_>>_» = Lean.ParserDescr.trailingNode `term_>>_ 60 61 (Lean.ParserDescr.binary `andthen (Lean.ParserDescr.symbol " >> ") (Lean.ParserDescr.cat `term 60))

def «term_>>=_» : Lean.TrailingParserDescr

If x : m α and f : α → m β, then x >>= f : m β represents the result of executing x to get a value of type α and then passing it to f.

def «term_<*>_» : Lean.TrailingParserDescr

If mf : F (α → β) and mx : F α, then mf <*> mx : F β. In a monad this is the same as do let f ← mf; x ← mx; pure (f x): it evaluates first the function, then the argument, and applies one to the other.

To avoid surprising evaluation semantics, mx is taken "lazily", using a Unit → f α function.

def «term_<*_» : Lean.TrailingParserDescr

If x : F α and y : F β, then x <* y evaluates x, then y, and returns the result of x.

To avoid surprising evaluation semantics, y is taken "lazily", using a Unit → f β function.

Equations

def Lean.binderIdent : Lean.ParserDescr

binderIdent matches an ident or a _. It is used for identifiers in binding position, where _ means that the value should be left unnamed and inaccessible.

Equations

def Lean.Parser.Tactic.caseArg : Lean.ParserDescr

A case tag argument has the form tag x₁ ... xₙ; it refers to tag tag and renames the last n hypotheses to x₁ ... xₙ.

def termDepIfThenElse : Lean.ParserDescr

"Dependent" if-then-else, normally written via the notation if h : c then t(h) else e(h), is sugar for dite c (fun h => t(h)) (fun h => e(h)), and it is the same as if c then t else e except that t is allowed to depend on a proof h : c, and e can depend on h : ¬c. (Both branches use the same name for the hypothesis, even though it has different types in the two cases.)

We use this to be able to communicate the if-then-else condition to the branches. For example, Array.get arr ⟨i, h⟩ expects a proof h : i < arr.size in order to avoid a bounds check, so you can write if h : i < arr.size then arr.get ⟨i, h⟩ else ... to avoid the bounds check inside the if branch. (Of course in this case we have only lifted the check into an explicit if, but we could also use this proof multiple times or derive i < arr.size from some other proposition that we are checking in the if.)

def termIfThenElse : Lean.ParserDescr

if c then t else e is notation for ite c t e, "if-then-else", which decides to return t or e depending on whether c is true or false. The explicit argument c : Prop does not have any actual computational content, but there is an additional [Decidable c] argument synthesized by typeclass inference which actually determines how to evaluate c to true or false.

Because lean uses a strict (call-by-value) evaluation strategy, the signature of this function is problematic in that it would require t and e to be evaluated before calling the ite function, which would cause both sides of the if to be evaluated. Even if the result is discarded, this would be a big performance problem, and is undesirable for users in any case. To resolve this, ite is marked as @[macro_inline], which means that it is unfolded during code generation, and the definition of the function uses fun _ => t and fun _ => e so this recovers the expected "lazy" behavior of if: the t and e arguments delay evaluation until c is known.

def termIfLet : Lean.ParserDescr

if let pat := d then t else e is a shorthand syntax for:

match d with
| pat => t
| _ => e

It matches d against the pattern pat and the bindings are available in t. If the pattern does not match, it returns e instead.

def boolIfThenElse : Lean.ParserDescr

cond b x y is the same as if b then x else y, but optimized for a boolean condition. It can also be written as bif b then x else y. This is @[macro_inline] because x and y should not be eagerly evaluated (see ite).

def «term_<|_» : Lean.TrailingParserDescr

Haskell-like pipe operator <|. f <| x means the same as the same as f x, except that it parses x with lower precedence, which means that f <| g <| x is interpreted as f (g x) rather than (f g) x.

Equations

• «term_<|_» = Lean.ParserDescr.trailingNode `term_<|_ 10 0 (Lean.ParserDescr.binary `andthen (Lean.ParserDescr.symbol " <| ") (Lean.ParserDescr.cat `term 10))

def «term_|>_» : Lean.TrailingParserDescr

Haskell-like pipe operator |>. x |> f means the same as the same as f x, and it chains such that x |> f |> g is interpreted as g (f x).

def «term_$__» : Lean.TrailingParserDescr

Alternative syntax for <|. f $ x means the same as the same as f x, except that it parses x with lower precedence, which means that f $ g $ x is interpreted as f (g x) rather than (f g) x.

def «term{_:_//_}» : Lean.ParserDescr

Subtype p, usually written as {x : α // p x}, is a type which represents all the elements x : α for which p x is true. It is structurally a pair-like type, so if you have x : α and h : p x then ⟨x, h⟩ : {x // p x}. An element s : {x // p x} will coerce to α but you can also make it explicit using s.1 or s.val.

def termWithout_expected_type_ : Lean.ParserDescr

without_expected_type t instructs Lean to elaborate t without an expected type. Recall that terms such as match ... with ... and ⟨...⟩ will postpone elaboration until expected type is known. So, without_expected_type is not effective in this case.

def «term[_]» : Lean.ParserDescr

The syntax [a, b, c] is shorthand for a :: b :: c :: [], or List.cons a (List.cons b (List.cons c List.nil)). It allows conveniently constructing list literals.

For lists of length at least 64, an alternative desugaring strategy is used which uses let bindings as intermediates as in let left := [d, e, f]; a :: b :: c :: left to avoid creating very deep expressions. Note that this changes the order of evaluation, although it should not be observable unless you use side effecting operations like dbg_trace.

def «term%[_|_]» : Lean.ParserDescr

Auxiliary syntax for implementing [$elem,*] list literal syntax. The syntax %[a,b,c|tail] constructs a value equivalent to a::b::c::tail. It uses binary partitioning to construct a tree of intermediate let bindings as in let left := [d, e, f]; a :: b :: c :: left to avoid creating very deep expressions.

def Lean.includeStr : Lean.ParserDescr

When parent_dir contains the current Lean file, include_str "path" / "to" / "file" becomes a string literal with the contents of the file at "parent_dir" / "path" / "to" / "file". If this file cannot be read, elaboration fails.

Equations
