Stream: SerAPI

Topic: serapi usage: getting theorems in a project

I'm trying to accomplish the following with https://github.com/ejgallego/coq-serapi

  1. Get a list of all top level theorems in a project.
  2. Decide whether the theorem is an axiom or depends on an axiom. (whether it's admitted or defined as an axiom? does Coq have a term for these types of theorems?)

For 1. I was thinking (Query () (Vernac "Print All.")) and for 2. I was thinking of checking if the output of Print All. starts with a *** [ .

Hi @Thomas Dziedzic , note that we have a dedicated SerAPI stream in case you want to move the discussion there [more people will see it]

@Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias I didn't know that, I will move the topic to that stream!

Actually the next version will provide native support for your use case 1. , for now you have to do that a bit more manually, that is to say, you need to grab all (Query ((sid $stm)) Ast) and select the ones that are theorems. Current implementation of SerAPI uses the flag document model that Coq understands natively, but as I said, based on numerous feedback we are changing this to a more structured represeantion

For 2, once you got the name of the theorem, you have an Assumptions query

so that should work for you fine!

I think the syntax is (Query ((sid $sid)) (Assumptions thm_name))

note that in Query

the sid parameter means what "state" you want to query

the sid parameter means what state you want to run the query

so usually, for full completed documents you want to use the sentence pointing to the end of the document

Do you know when the next version will come out? Will I have to wait a couple of days? Or will it be months?

also I just realized you're the creator of serapi, thanks for your hard work @Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias

You are most welcome, thanks to you for your feedback; I think the next version should be out by end of Feb, in the most optimistic planning

I hope to have a couple of hacking sessions related to SerAPI in the 2022 Winter WG https://github.com/coq/coq/wiki/CoqWG-2022-02

@Thomas Dziedzic there is some functionality in the direction you want in the dpdgraph plugin: https://github.com/coq-community/coq-dpdgraph/

For example, it's very easy to get a list of lemmas in some module/file, and get their dependencies. No easy way to tell if something is an axiom though.

the difference from SerAPI is that as a plugin, dpdgraph adds some commands inside Coq, rather than allowing low-level communication with Coq. So it can be combined with SerAPI.

Actually doing that in OCaml is very easy so if you wanna cook a patch we could merge itn ow

it now

what I plan is something more comprehensive

view this post on Zulip Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Jan 23 2022 at 15:55):

The first prototype of coq-lsp already did that to provide the document outline

view this post on Zulip Karl Palmskog (Jan 23 2022 at 15:59):

hmm, but did it [coq-lsp] really figure out axioms? How is that even done?

view this post on Zulip Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Jan 23 2022 at 16:41):

The axioms code is already on serapi

view this post on Zulip Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Jan 23 2022 at 16:42):

coq lsp parsed the document and generated the list of objects, including lemmas

view this post on Zulip Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Jan 23 2022 at 16:42):

then it checked the document using prefix-only incrementality

view this post on Zulip Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Jan 23 2022 at 16:42):

this is easy with the API we pushed to Coq these days

view this post on Zulip Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Jan 23 2022 at 16:42):

axioms you just use the API provide in Coq
