Smart unfolding support #

@[extern lean_get_structural_rec_arg_pos]

Forward declaration. It is defined in the module src/Lean/Elab/PreDefinition/Structural/Eqns.lean. It is possible to avoid this hack if we move Structural.EqnInfo and Structural.eqnInfoExt to this module.

    Add auxiliary annotation to indicate the match-expression e must be reduced when performing smart unfolding.

            @[specialize #[]]

            Auxiliary combinator for handling easy WHNF cases. It takes a function for handling the "hard" cases as an argument

            The "match" compiler uses dependent if-then-else dite and other auxiliary declarations to compile match-expressions such as

            match v with
            | 'a' => 1
            | 'b' => 2
            | _   => 3
            

            because it is more efficient than using casesOn recursors. The method reduceMatcher? fails if these auxiliary definitions cannot be unfolded in the current transparency setting. This is problematic because tactics such as simp use TransparencyMode.reducible, and most users assume that expressions such as

            match 0 with
            | 0 => 1
            | 100 => 2
            | _ => 3
            

            should reduce in any transparency mode.

            Thus, if the transparency mode is .reducible or .instances, we first eagerly unfold dite constants used in the auxiliary match-declaration, and then use a custom canUnfoldAtMatcher predicate for whnfMatcher.

            Remark: we used to include dite (and ite) as auxiliary declarations to unfold at canUnfoldAtMatcher, but this is problematic because the dite/ite may occur in the discriminant. See issue #5388.

            This solution is not very modular because modifications at the match compiler require changes here. We claim this is defensible because it is reducing the auxiliary declaration defined by the match compiler.

            Remark: if the eager unfolding is problematic, we may cache the result. We may also consider not using dite in the match-compiler and use Decidable.casesOn, but it will require changes in how we generate equation lemmas.

            Alternative solution: tactics that use TransparencyMode.reducible should rely on the equations we generated for match-expressions. This solution is also not perfect because the match-expression above will not reduce during type checking when we are not using TransparencyMode.default or TransparencyMode.all.

            Auxiliary predicate for whnfMatcher. See comment above.

                    Recall that _sunfold auxiliary definitions contains the markers: markSmartUnfoldingMatch (*) and markSmartUnfoldingMatchAlt (**). For example, consider the following definition

                    def r (i j : Nat) : Nat :=
                      i +
                        match j with
                        | Nat.zero => 1
                        | Nat.succ j =>
                          i + match j with
                              | Nat.zero => 2
                              | Nat.succ j => r i j
                    

                    produces the following _sunfold auxiliary definition with the markers

                    def r._sunfold (i j : Nat) : Nat :=
                      i +
                        (*) match j with
                        | Nat.zero => (**) 1
                        | Nat.succ j =>
                          i + (*) match j with
                              | Nat.zero => (**) 2
                              | Nat.succ j => (**) r i j
                    

                    match expressions marked with markSmartUnfoldingMatch (*) must be reduced, otherwise the resulting term is not definitionally equal to the given expression. The recursion may be interrupted as soon as the annotation markSmartUnfoldingAlt (**) is reached.

                    For example, the term r i j.succ.succ reduces to the definitionally equal term i + i * r i j

                      Auxiliary method for unfolding a class projection.

                      Auxiliary method for unfolding a class projection when transparency is set to TransparencyMode.instances. Recall that class instance projections are not marked with [reducible] because we want them to be in "reducible canonical form".

                      Unfold definition using "smart unfolding" if possible.
