Stream: Coq devs & plugin devs

Topic: Dune beginner question

Maxime Dénès (Sep 24 2020 at 17:10):

Sorry, this is probably a naive question: I'd like to build stdlib and run coqide using dune

Maxime Dénès (Sep 24 2020 at 17:11):

What I did: make -f Makefile.dune world && dune exec dev/shim/coqide-prelude

Maxime Dénès (Sep 24 2020 at 17:12):

Unfortunately, the second command triggered some recompilation and now Require Importon an stdlib file complains about inconsistent assumptions.

Gaëtan Gilbert (Sep 24 2020 at 17:14):

We should have something to disable those checks, they're way too sensitive
also debugging when dune unexpectedly recompiles something is way too occult

Pierre-Marie Pédrot (Sep 24 2020 at 17:15):

I have a POC branch somewhere on my tree to do that, I hacked that a long time ago because I was fed up with recompilation.

Pierre-Marie Pédrot (Sep 24 2020 at 17:15):

(that was not for dune, but to override the check)

Maxime Dénès (Sep 24 2020 at 17:16):

but the real problem here is not the check

Maxime Dénès (Sep 24 2020 at 17:16):

why did the second command recompile vo files?

Maxime Dénès (Sep 24 2020 at 17:17):

alternatively, is there a documentation of the dune commands for typical workflows like this?

Maxime Dénès (Sep 24 2020 at 17:17):

I read dev/doc/build-system.dune.md, but couldn't find how to build stdlib

Enrico Tassi (Sep 24 2020 at 17:30):

I think dune build path/to/file.vo should rebuild the .vo.

Maxime Dénès (Sep 24 2020 at 17:57):

but I precisely don't want to rebuild the vo

Maxime Dénès (Sep 24 2020 at 17:57):

as it is not outdated

Enrico Tassi (Sep 24 2020 at 18:05):

ah ok, I thought you had a broken vo file to repair (without recompiling everything)

Maxime Dénès (Sep 24 2020 at 18:24):

no, I just want to launch CoqIDE after having built stdlib

Umm, the second command should not do any rebuild, did you modify any file meanwhile?

Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Sep 24 2020 at 18:58):

the *-prelude shims only depend on Coq.Prelude.Init thus they won't rebuild the rest of the stdlib

Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Sep 24 2020 at 18:58):

we could have a coqide-stdlib which checks the stdlib is updated

Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Sep 24 2020 at 18:59):

indeed building the stdlib is just building all *.vo files

Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Sep 24 2020 at 18:59):

usually building the coq package will do it [or the coq-stdlib one would we split]

Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Sep 24 2020 at 18:59):

we can add an alias for that if it is convenient

Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Sep 24 2020 at 19:00):

the way I checked dune exec -- dev/shim/coqide-prelude didn't rebuild anything is by looking at _build/log
