I want people to use the typed interface so we should start deprecating these so I can remove them in a later release.

Closes #624

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Boolean expressions now simplify constant values for negation, conjunction, disjunction, implication, and distinctness.
    • Added conversion of Boolean value expressions to native Boolean values.
  • Deprecations

    • Legacy Boolean constructors are deprecated in favor of the typed Boolean API.
  • Performance

    • Boolean construction produces more compact expressions with fewer unnecessary operations.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for Boolean expression folding behavior.

Walkthrough

The PR deprecates raw Boolean constructors, constructs raw Boolean constants directly, adds constant folding to typed Boolean operations, and updates test helpers and assertions to use Expr.value.

Changes

Boolean API modernization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Raw Boolean API migration
src/smtml/expr_intf.ml, src/smtml/expr_raw.ml
The legacy Expr.Bool constructors are marked deprecated and point to Typed.Bool. Raw Boolean constants now use direct value construction.
Typed Boolean constant folding
src/smtml/typed.ml
Typed.Bool adds of_val, folds Boolean constants, removes double negation, constructs implications directly, and uses simplifying construction for distinct.
Boolean construction and folding tests
test/test_harness.ml, test/unit/test_expr.ml, test/unit/test_typed_bool.ml, test/unit/dune
Test helpers and assertions now construct Boolean values with Expr.value. New tests validate Typed.Bool.and_ and Typed.Bool.or_ folding. The new test is included in the unit test configuration.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to dbe61

The PR begins deprecating legacy Boolean expression helpers in favor of the typed API, but the current deprecation guidance for Bool.distinct does not match the legacy function’s arity and may mislead users during migration. Correct that mismatch before merging.

Linked Issues check ⚠️ Warning The PR deprecates existing Expr.Bool functions and redirects users to Typed.Bool, but it does not address the linked issue’s stated missing functionality, such as xor, in Expr.Bool. Either implement the missing Expr.Bool functions, including xor, with tests, or update issue #624 to explicitly define deprecation of Expr.Bool as the accepted resolution.

Use the project’s option combinators instead of a nested match.

The None branch introduces a second manual match after of_val. Use the existing option combinator style to express the fallback and keep the expression-shape match local.

As per path instructions, use existing Option.Syntax, Result.Syntax, and let+ monadic combinators instead of manual nested match expressions.

Expr.Bool.distinct to show the correct Typed.Bool.distinct usage with a list of
expressions, such as Typed.Bool.distinct [expr1; expr2], rather than treating it
as a two-argument function.

- Around line 82-87: Correct the constant-folding branches in Bool.or_: when
of_val identifies a as false, return b, and when it identifies b as false,
return a. Leave the true and symbolic Expr.binop paths unchanged.

Add the required module documentation comment.

test/unit/test_typed_bool.ml has the required headers, but it lacks a (** ... *) module documentation comment before open Smtml.

Proposed fix
 (* Written by the Smtml programmers *)
 
+(** Tests constant folding in typed Boolean expressions. *)
 open Smtml

As per path instructions, every new .ml/.mli file must include a module documentation comment using (** ... *) near the top. Based on learnings, this repository checks this convention early for new OCaml modules.

Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
