Implement support for types with user-defined equality predicates.
Estimated hours taken: 30 Implement support for types with user-defined equality predicates. Types with user-defined equality predicates are called "non-canonical types"; they may have more than one representation for the same abstract value. That means that any attempt to deconstruct a value of a non-canonical type, i.e. any attempt to peek at the representation, must be cc_multi. This also implies that conceptually speaking, non-canonical types are not members of the type classes `comparable' (compare/3) or `deconstructible' (index/2, argument/3, functor/3, deconstruct/5). Since we don't support type classes yet, that just means that the type-class checking is done at runtime, i.e. any call to one of those functions for a non-canonical type will call error/1 or fatal_error(). To make non-canonical types useful, we really need type classes, so that the user can provide instance definitions for `comparable' and `deconstructible' for such types. It might also be a good idea to have a type-class `canonicalizable' which provides a function to convert its argument to some canonical type (that would require existential types to do nicely, but alternatively we could just use `univ'). Note that currently the only mechanism for promising that things are unique is via the C interface. compiler/det_analysis.m: Add code to check unifications that examine the representation of a type with a user-defined equality predicate. Any such unification must occur in a single-solution context and must not be able to fail. Such unifications determinism have determinism cc_multi. compiler/det_report.m: Add code to report errors for misuse of types with user-defined equality predicates. (Also some other stylistic improvements: split up a complicated predicate into subroutines, and avoid some unnecessary code duplication.) compiler/prog_data.m: compiler/hlds_data.m: Add a new `maybe(sym_name)' field to the du_type/3 constructor to hold the name of the user-defined equality pred for the type, if any. compiler/prog_io.m: Add code to parse the new `... where equality is <name>.' syntax. Delete the old support for `... where <condition>'. compiler/hlds_out.m: compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m: compiler/mercury_to_goedel.m: Print out the new field. compiler/base_type_layout.m: compiler/code_util.m: compiler/dense_switch.m: compiler/equiv_type.m: compiler/intermod.m: compiler/make_hlds.m: compiler/mode_util.m: compiler/module_qual.m: compiler/modules.m: compiler/switch_detection.m: compiler/tag_switch.m: compiler/type_util.m: compiler/typecheck.m: compiler/unify_gen.m: Trivial changes to ignore (or leave unchanged) the new field in `du_type'. compiler/modecheck_unify.m: Pass the term__context to unify_proc__request_unify. compiler/typecheck.m: Typecheck the compiler-generated unify predicates for types with user-defined equality preds. compiler/unify_proc.m: For d.u. types, if the type has a user-defined equality predicate then generate code for the compiler-generated unify predicate that just calls the specified predicate, and generate code for the compiler-generated compare and index predicates that just calls some procedures in mercury_builtin.m that report appropriate error messages. Ensure that the automatically-generated predicates have appropriate term__contexts everywhere, so that if the user-defined equality predicate name is ambiguous, non-existent, or has the wrong type, mode, or determinism, then the error messages from type checking, mode checking, or determinism checking refer to the type declaration. library/mercury_builtin.m: Add predicates builtin_index_non_canonical_type/2 and builtin_compare_non_canonical_type/2, used by the code generated by compiler/unify_proc.m. doc/reference_manual.texi: Document the support for user-defined equality predicates. library/std_util.m: Change ML_expand() to return an indication of whether or not the type is a non-canonical type (one with a user-defined equality predicate). Change argument/2, functor/2, and deconstruct/4 to abort if called for a non-canonical type.
