The type of constructions
type t
type constr = t

types is the same as constr but is intended to be used for documentation to indicate that such or such function specifically works with types (i.e. terms of type a sort). (Rem:plurial form since type is a reserved ML keyword)

type types = constr
Functions for dealing with constr terms.

The following functions are intended to simplify and to uniform the manipulation of terms. Some of these functions may be overlapped with previous ones.

Term constructors.
val mkRel : int -> constr

Constructs a de Bruijn index (DB indices begin at 1)

val mkVar : Names.Id.t -> constr

Constructs a Variable

val mkInt : Uint63.t -> constr

Constructs a machine integer

val mkFloat : Float64.t -> constr

Constructs a machine float number

val mkMeta : metavariable -> constr

Fixpoint f1 [ctx1] = b1 with f2 [ctx2] = b2 ... with fn [ctxn] = bn.

type ('constr, 'types, 'sort, 'univs) kind_of_term =
| Rel of int

Gallina-variable introduced by forall, fun, let-in, fix, or cofix.

| Var of Names.Id.t

Gallina-variable that was introduced by Vernacular-command that extends the local context of the currently open section (i.e. Variable or Let).

| Meta of metavariable
| Evar of 'constr pexistential
| Sort of 'sort
| Cast of 'constr * cast_kind * 'types
| Prod of Names.Name.t Context.binder_annot * 'types * 'types

Concrete syntax "forall A:B,C" is represented as Prod (A,B,C).

| Lambda of Names.Name.t Context.binder_annot * 'types * 'constr

Concrete syntax "fun A:B => C" is represented as Lambda (A,B,C).

| LetIn of Names.Name.t Context.binder_annot * 'constr * 'types * 'constr

Concrete syntax "let A:C := B in D" is represented as LetIn (A,B,C,D).

| App of 'constr * 'constr array

Concrete syntax "(F P1 P2 ... Pn)" is represented as App (F, [|P1; P2; ...; Pn|]).

The mkApp constructor also enforces the following invariant:

  • F itself is not App
  • and [|P1;..;Pn|] is not empty.
