This plugin is to help you learn how to write fun spells (supertactics implemented as program transformations) using the Coq plugin infrastructure and understand the magic behind them. There are a number of example spells and some exercises to try out yourself.
If you build on any of the commands or tactics here and then publish a paper, please cite the PUMPKIN PATCH paper, since the interesting commands and tactics all build on components from that paper.
The plugin runs on Coq 8.8. Just run make.
There are a number of toy example spells in magic.ml4 for the sake of demonstration. The test code for these examples is in Examples.v. Since these are purely demonstrative, they are not guaranteed to work for code outside of these examples.
Many of the examples use simplified functionality from PUMPKIN PATCH. If you are curious, the paper is here.
Exercises are in magic.ml4. Tests for these exercises are in the exercises directory. The comments for each exercise note which file contains the test for that exercise.
Any pop culture references in this repository are references to Harry Potter. This is just for fun, since this was originally presented in a themed lecture to a group of graduate students. If you do not understand the pop culture references, don't worry about them.
If you have any questions, please contact Talia Ringer ([email protected]) or cut an issue in this GitHub repository.
