Topic: Unquote and quote does work using Prop

Hello again,

I'm meeting a problem while unquoting something that I've just quoted that may be a bug.
I'm using coq.8.11.0 on Vscoq.

Definition mkImpl (A B : term) : term := (* comes from demo.v in the repo*)
   tProd nAnon A B.

Quote Definition reif_forallP_P_implies_P := Eval compute in (forall (P:Prop), P ->P ).
Make Definition uq_reif_forallP_implies_P := reif_forallP_P_implies_P.

The Make Definition outputs the following error:

The term "forall P : Prop, P -> P" has type "Type" while it is expected to have type "Prop".

Likewise, when I try to build the reification of forall (P : Prop), P -> P. :

Quote Definition reif_Prop := Eval compute in Prop.

Definition reif_forallP_P_implies_P' := tProd nAnon reif_Type_Term (mkImpl  (tRel 0) (tRel 0)).

Make Definition uq_reif_forallP_implies_P' := trad_works_Prop.

This time, the Make Definition raises the following (different) error:

Anomaly "Not a sort." Please report at http://coq.inria.fr/bugs/.
Not in proof mode.

When I print reif_Prop, I obtain,

reif_Prop = tSort (Universe.make'' (Level.lProp, false) [])
    : term

So, what is wrong and how should I unquote (the reification of) forall (P : Prop), P -> P. ?

In reif_forallP_P_implies_P' shouldn't you use tProd nAnon reif_Prop instead of tProd nAnon reif_Type_Term ?

Huh, yes, sorry, here is the right code:

Definition reif_forallP_P_implies_P' := tProd nAnon reif_Prop (mkImpl  (tRel 0) (tRel 0)).

Make Definition uq_reif_forallP_implies_P' := reif_forallP_P_implies_P'.

but I still get the same error message

@Matthieu Sozeau can you confirm this is a bug?

Wait can you try with just

From MetaCoq Require Import All.

Quote Definition reif_forallP_P_implies_P := Eval compute in (forall (P:Prop), P ->P ).
Make Definition uq_reif_forallP_implies_P := reif_forallP_P_implies_P.

For me it works with no errors.

I just did. I still get:

The term "forall P : Prop, P -> P" has type "Type" while it is expected to have type "Prop".
Not in proof mode.

but perhaps it is related to opam installation then?

That's pretty weird…

Maybe try in a new file? There may be something weird in the context?

I did it at the very beginning of a new file, but the error was the same :/

It looks like one

Maybe we're not talking about the same version of MetaCoq though, if it works for Théo. @Pierre Vial what does your opam list say?

I'm a bit surprised, because opam switch tells me that I'm using my coq.8.11.0 switch

Hmm, yep it looks like you coq.8.11.0 switch has coq 8.9. So you might be seeing a bug in an old version of metacoq

Ok thanks ! I'll try to install it again
