Module Locus

Locus : positions in hypotheses and goals

Locations

Selecting the occurrences in body (if any), in type, or in both

Abstract clauses expressions

A clause_expr (and its instance clause) denotes occurrences and hypotheses in a goal in an abstract way; in particular, it can refer to the set of all hypotheses independently of the effective contents of the current goal

Concerning the field onhyps:

type 'a hyp_location_expr = 'a with_occurrences * hyp_location_flag
type 'id clause_expr = {
onhyps : 'id hyp_location_expr list option;
concl_occs : occurrences_expr;
}
type clause = Names.Id.t clause_expr
Concrete view of occurrence clauses

clause_atom refers either to an hypothesis location (i.e. an hypothesis with occurrences and a position, in body if any, in type or in both) or to some occurrences of the conclusion

type clause_atom =
| OnHyp of Names.Id.t * occurrences_expr * hyp_location_flag
| OnConcl of occurrences_expr

A concrete_clause is an effective collection of occurrences in the hypotheses and the conclusion

type concrete_clause = clause_atom list
A weaker form of clause with no mention of occurrences

A hyp_location is an hypothesis together with a location

type hyp_location = Names.Id.t * hyp_location_flag

A goal_location is either an hypothesis (together with a location) or the conclusion (represented by None)

type goal_location = hyp_location option
Simple clauses, without occurrences nor location

A simple_clause is a set of hypotheses, possibly extended with the conclusion (conclusion is represented by None)

type simple_clause = Names.Id.t option list
A notion of occurrences allowing to express "all occurrences convertible to the first which matches"
type 'a or_like_first =
| AtOccs of 'a
| LikeFirst
