elabTerm for Tactics and basic tactics that use it.

def Lean.Elab.Tactic.runTermElab {α : Type} (k : Lean.Elab.TermElabM α) (mayPostpone : optParam Bool false) : Lean.Elab.Tactic.TacticM α

Runs a term elaborator inside a tactic.

This function ensures that term elaboration fails when backtracking, i.e., in first| tac term | other.

def Lean.Elab.Tactic.runTermElab.go {α : Type} (k : Lean.Elab.TermElabM α) (mayPostpone : optParam Bool false) : Lean.Elab.TermElabM α

def Lean.Elab.Tactic.elabTerm (stx : Lean.Syntax) (expectedType? : Option Lean.Expr) (mayPostpone : optParam Bool false) : Lean.Elab.Tactic.TacticM Lean.Expr

Elaborate stx in the current MVarContext. If given, the expectedType will be used to help elaboration but not enforced (use elabTermEnsuringType to enforce an expected type).

def Lean.Elab.Tactic.elabTermEnsuringType (stx : Lean.Syntax) (expectedType? : Option Lean.Expr) (mayPostpone : optParam Bool false) : Lean.Elab.Tactic.TacticM Lean.Expr

Elaborate stx in the current MVarContext. If given, the expectedType will be used to help elaboration and then a TypeMismatchError will be thrown if the elaborated type doesn't match.

def Lean.Elab.Tactic.closeMainGoalUsing (x : Lean.Expr → Lean.Elab.Tactic.TacticM Lean.Expr) (checkUnassigned : optParam Bool true) : Lean.Elab.Tactic.TacticM Unit

Try to close main goal using x target, where target is the type of the main goal.

Execute k, and collect new "holes" in the resulting expression.

def Lean.Elab.Tactic.withCollectingNewGoalsFrom.go (k : Lean.Elab.Tactic.TacticM Lean.Expr) (tagSuffix : Lake.Name) (allowNaturalHoles : optParam Bool false) : Lean.Elab.Tactic.TacticM (Lean.Expr × List Lean.MVarId)

def Lean.Elab.Tactic.elabTermWithHoles (stx : Lean.Syntax) (expectedType? : Option Lean.Expr) (tagSuffix : Lake.Name) (allowNaturalHoles : optParam Bool false) : Lean.Elab.Tactic.TacticM (Lean.Expr × List Lean.MVarId)

def Lean.Elab.Tactic.refineCore (stx : Lean.Syntax) (tagSuffix : Lake.Name) (allowNaturalHoles : Bool) : Lean.Elab.Tactic.TacticM Unit

If allowNaturalHoles == true, then we allow the resultant expression to contain unassigned "natural" metavariables. Recall that "natutal" metavariables are created for explicit holes _ and implicit arguments. They are meant to be filled by typing constraints. "Synthetic" metavariables are meant to be filled by tactics and are usually created using the synthetic hole notation ?.

def Lean.Elab.Tactic.elabTermForApply (stx : Lean.Syntax) (mayPostpone : optParam Bool true) : Lean.Elab.Tactic.TacticM Lean.Expr

Given a tactic

apply f

we want the apply tactic to create all metavariables. The following definition will return @f for f. That is, it will not create metavariables for implicit arguments. A similar method is also used in Lean 3. This method is useful when applying lemmas such as:

theorem infLeRight {s t : Set α} : s ⊓ t ≤ t

where s ≤ t here is defined as

∀ {x : α}, x ∈ s → x ∈ t

def Lean.Elab.Tactic.elabAsFVar (stx : Lean.Syntax) (userName? : optParam (Option Lake.Name) none) : Lean.Elab.Tactic.TacticM Lean.FVarId

Elaborate stx. If it a free variable, return it. Otherwise, assert it, and return the free variable. Note that, the main goal is updated when Meta.assert is used in the second case.
