Between 8.10 and 8.11, Pfedit.build_by_tactic switched from correctly reporting Ltac errors to raising Not_found anomalies. Is this a known issue?

(I'll try to minimize an example to report as a bug.)

If you do have a pointer to the code, or a backtrace with master [it should be much better] it would be very helpful

that function is very very dubious tho

view this post on Zulip Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Sep 09 2020 at 13:30):

it is very hard to use right, tho indeed that's likely unrelated to your problem at hand

The code is, e.g., https://github.com/mit-plv/rewriter/blob/258a24ba97af9a18b1e4f6cdb101e75c1092c4b6/src/Rewriter/Util/plugins/rewriter_build.ml.v813#L111 and if you want to see it for yourself, you can replace https://github.com/mit-plv/rewriter/blob/258a24ba97af9a18b1e4f6cdb101e75c1092c4b6/src/Rewriter/Rewriter/Examples.v#L11 with Make norules := Rewriter For () (extra idents (ex)). I'll try to make a small example

@Jason Gross would be quick for you to get a backtrace

indeed some rules related to how API works when accessing inductive that don't exist changed

so the problem could be in the tactic

No, I'm not at a computer right now. When I'm at my computer in an hour or two, it'll be pretty quick

The issue might very well be that the error message from the tactic references an inductive that is defined earlier in the function, i.e., the inductive is no longer part of the environment when the error message is printed (assuming backtracking happens before error message printing)

@Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias Here's a backtrace from V8.11.1, I'll work on getting one from master shortly:

So, uh, in Coq master (cdfe69d6da6b32338ba74c9f599c74389089c9dd), Coq doesn't anomaly, it just dies. Things work fine with coqc, but if I pass the file in to coqtop, then, only when I've set Ltac Backtrace, I get

@Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias what do you make of this?

Oh, and it looks like I perhaps already have an issue for this: https://github.com/coq/coq/issues/12297

Indeed that's the printer dying
