Idris2 0 multiplicity declaration without function body no definition for function

💡 Result:

In Idris 2, a multiplicity declaration of 0 before a parameter indicates that the argument is erased at run time [1][2]. This means the value is only available during compile time and cannot be accessed or used in the implementation of the function at run time [1][3]. If you receive an error regarding "no definition for function" or that an argument is "not accessible in this context" when using a 0 multiplicity, it is typically because your code attempts to use that parameter in a way that requires it to exist at run time [2][4]. Key points regarding this behavior: 1. Requirement for Run-time Access: If a function's implementation attempts to return the erased argument or use it in a computation that persists to run time, Idris will reject the code because the value is explicitly marked as unavailable [2][4]. 2. Resolution: To fix this, you must either change the multiplicity of the argument (e.g., to 1 or unrestricted) so it is available at run time [2][4], or change the function context—such as marking the entire function as erased—if the result itself is also meant to be compile-time only [2]. 3. Pattern Matching: It is also an error in Idris 2 to attempt to pattern match on an argument with multiplicity 0 unless its value can be inferred by the compiler from other available information [5]. If you are encountering a "no definition for function" error specifically in the context of interfaces or forward declarations, ensure that your function body actually provides a definition for the declared type signature, as Idris 2 expects implementations to match the declared multiplicities [6].

site:idris2.readthedocs.io Idris 2 declarations must have definitions postulate erased function declaration

💡 Result:

In Idris 2, there is no direct keyword or construct named "postulate" used for function declarations. Instead, Idris 2 enforces a "define before use" rule for all functions and data types, requiring a type declaration followed by a definition [1][2]. If you wish to declare a function without providing a definition (a common use case for "postulates" or forward declarations in other systems), there is no built-in "postulate" keyword to facilitate this directly in standard Idris 2 code. However, you can achieve similar functionality using specific techniques: 1. Mutual Blocks: If you need to declare functions or data types that depend on each other, you must use a mutual block [1][2]. In this block, Idris elaborates all type declarations first, followed by the function definitions, effectively allowing forward references [1][2]. 2. Erasure (Multiplicity 0): You mentioned "erased function declaration." In Idris 2, erasure is controlled via multiplicities [3][4][5]. Arguments marked with a multiplicity of 0 are guaranteed to be erased at runtime and are not available for inspection in case trees [3][4][5]. This is not a way to declare a function without a body, but rather a mechanism to specify that certain arguments to a defined function are strictly for compile-time purposes [3][6]. 3. Totality/Partiality: Idris 2 allows you to declare whether functions are total or partial using directives like %default total or %default partial, but this does not remove the requirement for a function definition [7]. In summary, all functions in Idris 2 must have a corresponding definition to be used [1]. If you are looking to define an interface or a set of required operations, Interfaces (type classes) are the standard way to declare a set of required function types without providing an immediate implementation [2].

🌐 Web query:

site:github.com/idris-lang/Idris2 "No definition for" function declaration

💡 Result:

The phrase "No definition for function declaration" is not a standard error message produced by common C, C++, or other major programming language compilers. Instead, it appears to be a descriptive way of identifying a common category of link-time or compile-time issues, most frequently encountered in C and C++ development [1][2][3]. This issue typically occurs when a program includes a header file that declares a function (providing the function's signature/prototype) but fails to provide the corresponding implementation (the actual function body) in the source code or a linked library [1][4]. Key Causes and Solutions: 1. Missing Implementation File: The function is declared in a header (.h) file, but the source (.c or.cpp) file containing the function's definition was not compiled or added to the project. Ensure the implementation file is included in your build system (e.g., Makefile, CMakeLists.txt, or IDE project settings). 2. Linker Errors: In C and C++, the compiler successfully checks the syntax of the declaration, but the linker cannot find the object code for the function during the final build step. This usually manifests as an "undefined reference to function_name" error. Check that all necessary object files and libraries are being linked correctly. 3. Namespace or Scope Mismatch: In languages that support namespaces or modules, ensure that the definition is not incorrectly scoped (e.g., defined inside a different namespace than it was declared in). 4. Incorrect Visibility Modifiers: In languages like Idris (often associated with specific module visibility rules), declaring a function without properly exporting its definition—or having a mismatch between forward-declaration visibility and the actual definition—can lead to errors regarding missing or inaccessible definitions [1][2][3]. If you are seeing this exact phrase in a specific tool or compiler, it may be a custom error message or a user-facing explanation from an IDE or static analysis tool. If you are encountering a "symbol not found" or "undefined reference" error, focus on verifying that the function's implementation file is correctly compiled and linked into your executable.

Multiplicity 0 only controls erasure. It does not provide a function body or proof term.

Restrict the counter domain or widen the nonce encoding.

counterNonceUnique claims uniqueness for all Bits64 counters, but the implementation documentation says that only four trailing bytes store the counter. For a fixed prefix, 0x0000000000000000 and 0x0000000100000000 are distinct counters with the same four-byte encoding. They therefore produce the same nonce.

Encode all eight counter bytes, or constrain the API and proof to a 32-bit counter domain before proving uniqueness.

Do not quantify over an arbitrary encoder.

hexEncodeEvenLength accepts any List Bits8 -> String, but it claims that every output length is even. A valid argument can always return a one-character string. The proposition then requires mod 1 2 = 0, which is false.

Specialise the theorem to the concrete bytesToHex implementation, or add an erased law that proves the encoder emits an even number of characters.
