d8a31e574e Move six utility modules from check_hlds to hlds.
compiler/inst_lookup.m:

compiler/inst_util.m:
compiler/mode_util.m:
compiler/type_util.m:
    Move these modules from the check_hlds package to the hlds package.
    The reason is that all the content of five of these modules, and
    most of the content of one module (inst_util.m) is not used
    exclusively during semantic checking passes. (A later diff
    should deal with the exception.) Some are used by the pass that
    builds the initial HLDS, and all are used by middle-end and backend
    passes. The move therefore reduces the number of inappropriate imports
    of the check_hlds package.

compiler/check_hlds.m:

f74e2b70c6 Rename the bound_inst type to bound_functor.
compiler/prog_data.m:
    As above. The main function symbol of the type was already named
    bound_functor, and "bound inst", when spoken/typed in text,
    usually refers to the bound/3 function symbol of the mer_inst type,
    not to new-renamed type.

5a45d1afb8 Replace the cons/3 cons_id ...
... with the du_data_ctor/1 cons_id, which contains a du_ctor/3.
Putting all the info about discriminated union data constructors into a
separate type allows code that works only with the cons_ids of du types
to stop having to worry about all the other kinds of cons_ids.

compiler/prog_data.m:
    As above.

    Delete the cons_ctor type from this module after moving it to
    recompilation.usage.m, which is the only part of the compiler
    that uses it.

compiler/add_foreign_enum.m:
    Replace cons_id_to_tag_map with du_ctor_to_tag_map, since the only
    cons_ids the map handles are du_ctors.

compiler/hlds_cons.m:
    Replace cons_ids with du_ctors in the cons_table and in the
    info we keep about du types' fields.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
    Replace cons_ids with du_ctors in cheaper_tag_tests.

    Provide two forms of a utility function. Both return du_ctors,
    but one wraps them up as cons_ids.

compiler/type_assign.m:
    Replace cons_ids with du_ctors in cons_type_info_sources.

compiler/type_util.m:
    Switch many of the utility predicates and functions in this module
    to operate on du_ctors instead of cons_ids. Split some of the others
    to have both du_ctor and cons_id versions.

    Replace a predicate that returned a set of solutions one at a time
    on backtracking with a predicate that returns all the solutions
    at once in a list.

    Reduce unnecessary variability in variable names.

    Add some XXXs for code with unclear motivations.

compiler/typecheck_error_undef.m:
    Delete a function argument that was used only in a sanity check,
    because the code at its only call site derived that argument using code
    that made it impossible for the sanity check to fail.

    Factor out some common code.

compiler/parse_tree_out_cons_id.m:
    For three functions that operate on cons_ids, add versions
    that do the same job on du_ctors.

compiler/inst_match.m:
    Conform to the changes above. This diff rewrites from scratch
    the algorithm for testing whether a list of bound insts covers
    *all* the du_ctors of a type, because the old code was both inefficient
    and very opaque.

compiler/float_regs.m:
    Conform to the changes above, and delete a conditionally enabled abort
    that shouldn't ever be enabled.

compiler/inst_util.m:
    Conform to the changes above, and rename a predicate to avoid
    an ambiguity.

compiler/mode_errors.m:
    Conform to the changes above, and switch to printing the cons_ids
    in some error messages using the standard mechanisms of
    write_error_spec.m.

compiler/resolve_unify_functor.m:
    Conform to the changes above. Factor out repeated tests against
    du_data_ctor.

ca932da67e Delete the lambda_eval_method type and its uses.
compiler/prog_data.m:
    The lambda_eval_method type has only ever been used by the Aditi backend,
    and it has been a dummy type since that backend has been deleted.
    Delete this type, and the lambda_eval_method fields from closure_cons
    cons_ids, from the corresponding closure_tag cons_tag, and from
    the representation of higher order types, in order to avoid having to
    maintain code that sets or copies fields that have no purpose.

    The lambda_eval_method type is (now was) separate from the eval method
    stored in proc_infos, which does have alternatives to the normal
    eval method. All of these alternatives are forms of tabling, but
    lambdas cannot be tabled on their own.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
    Delete the lambda_eval_method field from rhs_lambda_goals.

dde8c1f396 Delete mer_inst's free/1 functor.
This functor was intended to have the same semantics as free/0, while
containing the type of the value it was applied to. However, commit
87e7e3bafa, the commit in which Fergus
introduced this function symbol, also contained an "XXX temporary hack"
in which the code that was supposed to create a value using this function
symbol when propagating a type into a free/0 inst, just ignored the type,
and left the inst as free/0. THIS TEMPORARY HACK HAS REMAINED IN THE CODE
SINCE 1994.

In a few places, we did hand-create insts using free/1 for code created
by the compiler itself. However, as far as I can tell, no free/1 inst
ever described any code read in from source files. This meant that
any code in switch arms for free/1 in switches on insts was never tested
in any meaningful sense. And predicates such as inst_merge_4, which
processed several kinds of insts without doing a complete switch on insts,
simply lacked code handle free/1 at all.

This diff deletes the free/1 function symbol. It does so NOT because
the type stored as its argument is not useful, but because it is useful
NOT JUST for free insts, but for ALL insts. This means that any mechanism
for providing information about the type of the value that an inst applies to
should work for all insts. This can be done

- either by passing along the type with every inst, and stepping into
  the argument types of each argument of a function symbol as we process
  bound insts, in every operation that operates on insts that needs
  type information.

- or by including a type in ALL the function symbols of the inst type.
  (We could do this either by adding a maybe(mer_type) field to each
  function symbol, which would be "no" before the propagate-types-
  into-modes pass, or by adding just a mer_type field, which would
  be a special dummy value before that pass. I (zs) prefer the latter,
  and so would juliensf.)

The second option would involve reintroducing a free/1 function symbol
into the inst type, but this would replace the existing free/0
function symbol, and it would inherit all the code that currently
handles free/0, NOT the code being deleted by this diff for handling
the *current* free/1.

The first option would be easier to implement if only one or maybe two
operations needed type info, the second would be both easier to implement
and more efficient if more operations needed that info.

compiler/prog_data.m:
    Delete free/1.

92941c4239 Delete mer_inst's abstract_inst functor.
We have never supported abstract insts, and we are not likely to start
using them any time soon, but we have had them in the representation of insts
since the beginning. Since they were never actually generated, the code
that operated on them was never really tested, which is good, because
in many places, that code simply threw an exception. The code that didn't
throw an exception when it found an abstract inst had to work correctly
for the abstract_insts that we actually generated, which were abstract
only in the sense that they were references to a would-be user-defined inst
name that wasn't actually defined.

There were two sources of such "abstract" insts.

- One was failed calls to inst_lookup that specified an user_inst inst_name.

- The other consisted of predicates whose job was to construct error messages
  involving insts. These either converted cons_ids into abstract insts,
  or mangled valid user_inst inst_names into invalid user_inst inst_names,
  because error_msg_inst.m generated good-looking messages when given
  the results of such conversions.

The first is handled by the fact that module qualification detects and
reports references to undefined insts and modes, and does not let the
compiler proceed to the compiler phases that may call inst_lookup.

The second is handled by the changes to error_msg_inst.m below.
These change to handle the use cases of the two error-message-constructing
predicates that used to employ abstract_insts, but now employ user_inst
defined_insts with a two particular kinds of undefined inst ctor,
one for each use case.

compiler/prog_data.m:
    Delete the abstract_int function symbol from the mer_inst type.

compiler/inst_lookup.m:
    When the lookup of an user_inst inst_name inside a defined_inst
    fails, don't convert that defined_inst into abstract inst,
    throw an exception.

compiler/error_msg_inst.m:
    Add code to deal with the insts that add_mutable_aux_preds.m and
    mode_errors.m generate for us to convert to lists of error message pieces.
    The addition is done twice, in an as identical a fashion as possible,
    when generating non-inline pieces and when generating inline pieces.

08365979d0 Move pred_name.m to the HLDS package.
This is so that it can become the home of the type currently named
pred_origin in hlds_pred.m, which (after being given new name) will become
a structured representation of predicate names.

The only thing that kept pred_name.m in the parse_tree package was the fact
that parse_pragma.m, which has no access to the hlds package, called it
to create the name of a type-specialized predicate when parsing
type_spec pragmas. The main part of this diff, apart from the trivial
updates to import hlds.pred_name instead parse_tree.pred_name, deals
with this issue.

The problem is how to ensure that the compiler invocations that create
type-specialized predicates (invocations that compile the module containing
the type_spec pragma that calls for this) and the invocations that create
the calls to those predicates (invocations that mostly compile other modules)
agree on the name of the name of the type-specialized predicate.

The old approach was this.

    When reading in (say) mod1.m which contains a type_spec pragma,
    we construct the name of the type-specialized predicate from

    - the name of the module (mod1),
    - the name of the predicate to be specialized, and
    - the type substitution in the pragma.

    We then record this name in the pragma.

    If the compiler invocation generates code, we use this name in the
    predicate definition. If the compiler invocation creates a .int file,
    we record the name in the third argument of the type_spec pragma.
    This third argument is NOT allowed to exist in .m files.

    Other compiler invocations that read in mod1.int when compiling
    another module, e.g. mod2.m, use the specialized name in the third argument
    of the type_spec pragma as the name to use in calls.

In this approach, the single-source-of-truth about the name of the
type-specialized predicate is the name constructed when parsing mod1.m,
which is conveyed to compiler invocations on other modules through
the third argument of the type_spec pragma.

The new approach is this:

    When reading in (say) mod1.m which contains a type_spec pragma,
    we give guaranteed-to-be-unique names to all the anonymous variables
    in the type_spec pragma. We also record in the type_spec pragma
    the name of the module whose (source or interface) file we read
    the pragma from. The name of the predicate to be specialized
    was of course already in the pragma.

    If the compiler invocation generates code, we construct the name
    of the type-specialized version of the predicate when we add the
    all-tvars-are-named type_spec pragma to the HLDS. If the compiler
    invocation creates a .int file, we write out the all-tvars-are-named
    version of the type_spec pragma. The pragma also contains the predicate
    name to be specialized. It does not contain the name of the module,
    but we will write out type_spec pragmas from module_x.m *only* to
    module_x.int, never to any other .int file, so any readers of
    the type_spec pragma from mod1.int will also know the name of the
    module that the pragma came from.

    Other compiler invocations that read in mod1.int when compiling
    another module, e.g. mod2.m, therefore get exactly the same

    - module name,
    - the name of the predicate to be specialized, and
    - the type substitution in the pragma

    as the compiler invocations on mod1.m. The module name are the
    predicate name are never changed by being written out and then
    read back in, and *due to the explicit names given to any formerly
    anonymous variables*, the type substitution is changed by this either.
    This means that the compiler invocations on mod1.m and mod2.m
    give the same parameters to the same function, and therefore they are
    guaranteed to get the same string as the name of the type-specialized
    version of the predicate.

In this approach, the single-source-of-truth about the name of the
type-specialized predicate is the function constructing that name
and its inputs.

    Allow them to exist for a short transition period, but ignore them.
    (If we read in files containing them, the result will be a link error
    if the type substitution contains anonymous variables. In that case,
    a rebuild of the program with all modules compiled using the *same
    compiler version* will work.)

    Give guaranteed-to-be-unique names to all anonymous type variable
    in the type substitution part of the type_spec pragma we construct.

ea4f95a7ed Use var_tables in lco.m, and when dumping goals.
Since this is the first converted module that dumps out goals when
debugging trace flags are enabled, this required generalizing the code
that does that, to take either varsets or var_tables as a means of
specifying the names of variables. We do this via a new type,
var_name_source, which contains either a varset or a var_table.

Almost all of this diff is there to implement this generalization.
A large part of it affects code in the parse_tree package that we use
to write out the parts of HLDS goals that are defined by types defined
in that package. Since we want to avoid making any part of the parse_tree
package dependent on the hlds package, this required defining the
var_name_source type in the parse_tree package, which in turn requires
var_table.m to be in that same package.

compiler/lco.m:
    Convert this module to use var_tables instead of varsets and vartypes.

compiler/var_table.m:
    Move this module from the hlds package to the parse_tree package.

    To make this, possible, move the parts that required access to the HLDS
    to hlds_pred.m, from where it was usually invoked.

    Export some utility predicates to allow the moved code to work
    in hlds_pred.m without access to the actual definition of the
    var_table type.

    Define the var_name_source type.

    Add some utility functions for use by code writing out variable names.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    Add the code moved from var_table.m.

compiler/vartypes.m:
    Move this module from the hlds package to the parse_tree package,
    for symmetry with var_table.m. It did not depend on being in hlds
    in any way.

compiler/hlds.m:
compiler/parse_tree.m:
    Move vartypes.m and var_table.m from the hlds package
    to the parse_tree package.

compiler/hlds_out_goal.m:
    Change all the predicates in this module to take a var_name_source
    instead of a prog_varset.

    Fix some comments.

compiler/hlds_out_util.m:
    Change some of the predicates in this module (those called from
    hlds_out_goal.m) to take a var_name_source instead of a prog_varset.

compiler/parse_tree_out_term.m:
    Provide variants of some existing predicates and functions that take
    var_name_sources instead of varsets. The code of the copies
    duplicates the logic of the originals, though I hope that this
    duplication can be done away with at the end of the transition.
    (The best solution would be to use a typeclass with methods
    that convert vars to their names, but we would want to ensure
    that the compiler can specialize all the affected predicates
    and functions to the two instances of this typeclass, which is
    something that we cannot do yet. In the meantime, the lack of
    any generalization in the old versions preserves their performance.)

tools/sort_imports:
tools/filter_sort_imports:
    A new tool that automatically sorts any occurrences of consecutive
    ":- import_module" declarations in the named files. The sorting is done
    in filter_sort_imports; sort_imports loops over the named files.

    After automatically replacing all occurrences of hlds.{vartypes,var_table}
    in import_module declarations with their parse_tree versions, the updated
    import_module declarations were usually out of order with respect to
    their neighbours. I used this script to fix that, and some earlier
    out-of-order imports.

3a306a7f1f Prepare to add new warnings about instances.
Prepare for these new options, --warn-unnecessarily-private-instance and
--warn-inconsistent-instance-order, by

- moving some checks on instance declarations to a point in time
  when the set of instance declarations in the module is complete, and

- adding a new field to instance declarations to record a context needed
  for the second of the above warnings.

compiler/add_class.m
compiler/check_typeclass.m
    Move some checks on instances from add_class.m, where they have to
    work with incomplete data, to check_typeclass.m, where they have access
    to all instance declarations. The tests moved are

    - the test whether the abstract and concrete forms of an instance
      specify the same constraints or not,
    - the test for duplicate concrete instances, and
    - the test for overlapping instances.

    The new code can be, and is, much more systematic in looking for
    inconsistencies between instance declarations. For example,
    it distinguishes between duplicate and overlapping instance declarations,
    whereas the old code did not. This allows it to generate more precise
    messages.

    We do in fact generate a new warning message, for duplicate abstract
    instance declarations.

    Crucially, the new code can also gather the information needed
    for --warn-inconsistent-instance-order, although the gathered info
    is then throw away. This will change soon.

    Record phase_type_check as the phase of all the error_specs generated
    in this module, not just most of them.

    Avoid constructing doing a global traversal of the entire instance table
    when a local traversal of just the part for one class_id will do.

    Give some predicates more meaningful names.

compiler/hlds_class.m
    To check whether abstract instance declarations are in the same order
    as concrete instance declarations, check_typeclass.m needs to record,
    with each concrete instance declaration, the context of the corresponding
    abstract instance declaration (if any). Add a slot for this information.

    Change instance_id from an equivalence type to a notag type,
    to reduce the chances of values of that type being confused
    with integers whose semantics is something else.

    Document why the structure of the instance table is what it is.

5750c35e64 Move pred-name-constructing code to pred_name.m.
compiler/pred_name.m:
    Support the construction of predicate names for more predicate transforms,
    including those done by higher_order.m and table_gen.m. Neither conformed
    to the naming scheme of the other predicate transformations. For the
    transforms done by higher_order.m, add XXXs noting this. For the transform
    done by table_gen.m, make it generate names that do conform to our pattern.
    We can do this because we only generate the affected predicates (and their
    names) in minimal model own stack grades, which are not operational :-(

    Move code to create names for the predicates implementing typeclass
    methods here.

    Move code to create names for unify, compare and index predicates here.

    Include "sym_name" in the names of the predicates that construct sym_names.

    Rename one of the existing transform_names to avoid ambiguity.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    Change the argument order of pred_info_init, partly to put first things
    first, but also to flush out places that construct predicate names.

    from old_type_constraints.m to prog_out.m, to make it available to
    du_type_layout.m, and rename it type_to_debug_string, to avoid giving
    the impression that it generates valid Mercury code, when it does not.

40725f170e Replace ten int cons_ids with one.
We currently have one function symbol in the cons_id type for each
of our ten types of integer constants: signed vs unsigned, and
word-sized, 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit. In most places in the compiler,
these are all treated the same, and it gets tedious to have to write
the same logic ten times. This diff therefore changes things so that
the distinction between int constants of these ten types is pushed
to one level lower than the cons_id type.

compiler/prog_data.m:
    Replace the ten cons_ids {int,uint}{,8,16,32,64}_const with just one,
    some_int_const, whose argument now has those function symbols.

    Add some utility functions on integer constants.

compiler/prog_out.m:
    Add a utility predicate for converting int constants to strings.

compiler/parse_tree_to_term.m:
    Add a utility predicate for converting int constants to terms.

    now that Erlang is no longer a target language.

compiler/parse_type_repn.m:

d5ade25753 Implement the obsolete_proc pragma.
While the existing obsolete pragma declares an entire predicate or function
obsolete, the new obsolete_proc pragma does this for only THE NAMED MODE
of a predicate or function.

NEWS:
doc/reference_manual.texi:
    Mention and document the new pragma.

compiler/prog_item.m:
    Add the new pragma. Rename the old pragma to "obsolete_pred". (This affects
    only the compiler's internal name; the user visible name stays the same.)

    Move a type definition next to its related types.

compiler/parse_pragma.m:
    Read in the new pragma.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    Create a slot in proc_infos for the information in the new pragma.

compiler/add_pragma.m:
    Add the new pragma to the HLDS.

    To avoid adding to the substantial existing code duplication in this
    module, factor out two commonly recurring pieces of code: one that
    looks up the (hopefully unique) pred_id specified by a pragma, and
    one that looks up and (if found) transforms the procedure specified
    by a pragma.

    Use error-message phraseology consistent with that employed by
    the newly-factored-out predicate even in places that cannot use them.

    Move the code handling foreign_export pragma here from add_foreign_proc.m
    to take advantage of the newly-factored out predicates.

compiler/add_foreign_proc.m:
    Delete the code moved to add_pragma.m.

    Fix the structure of the remaining code by putting related code fragments
    next to each other.

compiler/simplify_goal_call.m:
    Generate warnings to obsolete procedures as well as obsolete predicates.

compiler/parse_tree_out_pragma.m:
    Output the new pragma.

    Factor out existing common code.

compiler/hlds_code_util.m:
    Put a predicate's arguments into a more meaningful order.

compiler/make_hlds_error.m:
    Allow the caller of report_undefined_pred_or_func_error to specify
    whether the error applies to a predicate or a function. Most callers
    don't have that info, but some do, and using this info when available
    allows us to generate a more specific error message.

compiler/add_clause.m:
    Conform to the changes above.

    Make a predicate easier to read by moving unimportant code out-of-line.

compiler/intermod.m:
    Conform to the changes above. Do this in a way that is adaptable to
    making intermod.m generate lists of items instead of simply writing
    stuff out, even though this makes the diff to this file more complex
    than immediately necessary.

compiler/add_mutable_aux_preds.m:
compiler/add_pragma_type_spec.m:
compiler/canonicalize_interface.m:
compiler/equiv_type.m:
compiler/get_dependencies.m:
compiler/item_util.m:
compiler/make_hlds_passes.m:
compiler/make_hlds_separate_items.m:
compiler/module_qual.qualify_items.m:
compiler/prog_data_pragma.m:
compiler/prog_item_stats.m:
compiler/recompilation.version.m:
    Conform to the changes above.

compiler/options.m:
    Provide a simple way for the configure script to test for the presence
    of this new addition.

tests/invalid/obsolete_proc_pragma.{m,err_exp}:
    A test case for the new pragma.

tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
tests/invalid/Mercury.options:
    Enable the new test case, and set it to run with --halt-at-warn.

tests/invalid/bug83.err_exp:
tests/invalid/require_tailrec_invalid.err_exp:
    Update these two files to expect updated error messages.

86f563a94d Pack subword-sized arguments next to a remote sectag.
compiler/du_type_layout.m:
    If the --allow-packing-remote-sectag option is set, then try to pack
    an initial subsequence of subword-sized arguments next to remote sectags.

    To allow the polymorphism transformation to put the type_infos and/or
    typeclass_infos it adds to a function symbol's argument list at the
    *front* of that argument list, pack arguments next to remote sectags
    only in function symbols that won't have any such extra arguments
    added to them.

    Do not write all new code for the new optimization; instead, generalize
    the code that already does a very similar job for packing args next to
    local sectags.

    Delete the code we used to have that picked the packed representation
    over the base unpacked representation only if it reduced the
    "rounded-to-even" number of words. A case could be made for its usefulness,
    but in the presence of the new optimization the extra code complexity
    it requires is not worth it (in my opinion).

    Extend the code that informs users about possible argument order
    rearrangements that yield better packing to take packing next to sectags
    into account.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
    Provide a representation for cons_tags that use the new optimization.
    Instead of adding a new cons_tag, we do this by replacing several old
    cons_tags that all represent pointers to memory cells with a single
    cons_tag named remote_args_tag with an argument that selects among
    the old cons_tags being replaced, and adding a new alternative inside
    this new type. The new alternative is remote_args_shared with a
    remote_sectag whose size is rsectag_subword(...).

    Instead of representing the value of the "data" field in classes
    on the Java and C# backends as a strange kind of secondary tag
    that is added to a memory cell by a class constructor instead of
    having to be explicitly added to the front of the argument vector
    by the code of a unification, represent it more directly as separate
    kind of remote_args_tag. Continuing to treat it as a sectag would have
    been very confusing to readers of the code of ml_unify_gen_*.m in the
    presence of the new optimization.

    Replacing several cons_tags that were usually treated similarly with
    one cons_tag simplifies many switches. Instead of an switch with that
    branches to the same switch arm for single_functor_tag, unshared_tag
    and shared_remote_tag, and then switches on these three tags again
    to get e.g. the primary tag of each, the new code of the switch arm
    is executed for just cons_tag value (remote_args_tag), and switches
    on the various kinds of remote args tags only when it needs to.
    In is also more natural to pass around the argument of remote_args_tag
    than to pass around a variable of type cons_tag that can be bound to only
    single_functor_tag, unshared_tag or shared_remote_tag.

    Add an XXX about possible further steps along these lines, such as
    making a new cons_tag named something like "user_const_tag" represent
    all user-visible constants.

compiler/ml_unify_gen_util.m:
    Implement X = f(Yi) unifications where f uses the new representation,
    i.e. some of its arguments are stored next to a remote sectag.

    Some of the Yi are stored in a tagword (a word that also contains a tag,
    in this case the remote secondary tag), while some are stored in other
    words in a memory cell. This means that such unifications have similarities
    both to unifications involving arguments being packed next to local
    sectags, and to unifications involving ordinary arguments in memory cells.
    Therefore wherever possible, their implemenation uses suitably generalized
    versions of existing code that did those two jobs for two separate kinds of
    cons_tags.

    Making such generalizations possible in some cases required shifting the
    boundary between predicates, moving work from a caller to a callee
    or vice versa.

    In unify_gen_deconstruct.m, stop using uni_vals to represent *either* a var
    *or* a word in a memory cell. While this enabled us to factor out some
    common code, the predicate boundaries it lead to are unsuitable for the
    generalizations we now need.

    Consistently use unsigned ints to represent both the whole and the parts
    of words containing packed arguments (and maybe sectags), except when
    comparing ptag constants with the result of applying the "tag" unop
    to a word, (since that unop returns an int, at least for now).

    In a few cases, avoid the recomputation of some information that we
    already know. The motivation is not efficiency, since the recomputation
    we avoid is usually cheap, but the simplification of the code's correctness
    argument.

    Use more consistent terminology in things such as variable names.

    Note the possibility of further future improvements in several places.

compiler/ml_foreign_proc_gen.m:

    Use the RTTI's du_hl_rep to represent cons_tags that distinguish
    between function symbols using a field in a class.

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
    Update the runtime's representation of RTTI data structures to make them
    able to describe remote secondary tags that are smaller than a full word.

runtime/mercury_deconstruct.[ch]:
runtime/mercury_deconstruct.h:
runtime/mercury_deconstruct_macros.h:
runtime/mercury_ml_expand_body.h:
runtime/mercury_ml_arg_body.h:
runtime/mercury_ml_deconstruct_body.h:
runtime/mercury_ml_functor_body.h:
    These modules collectively implement the predicates in deconstruct.m
    in the library, and provide access to its functionality to other C code,
    e.g. in the debugger. Update these to be able to handle terms with the
    new data representation optimization.

    This update requires a significant change in the distribution of work
    between these files for the predicates deconstruct.deconstruct and
    deconstruct.limited_deconstruct. We used to have mercury_ml_expand_body.h
    fill in the fields of their expand_info structures (whose types are
    defined in mercury_deconstruct.h) with pointers to three vectors:
    (a) a vector of arg_locns with one element per argument, with a NULL
    pointer being equivalent to a vector with a given element in every slot;
    (b) a vector of type_infos with one element per argument, constructed
    dynamically (and later freed) if necessary; and (c) a vector of argument
    words. Once upon a time, before double-word and sub-word arguments,
    vector (c) also had one word per argument, but that hasn't been true
    for a while; we added vector (a) help the consumers of the expand_info
    decode the difference. The consumers of this info  always used these
    vectors to build up a Mercury term containing a list of univs,
    with one univ for each argument.

    This structure could be stretched to handle function symbols that store
    *all* their arguments in a tagword next to a local sectag, but I found
    that stretching it to cover function symbols that have *some* of their
    arguments packed next to a remote sectag and *some other* of their
    arguments in a memory cell as usual would have required a well-nigh
    incomprehensibly complex, and therefore almost undebuggable, interface
    between mercury_ml_expand_body.h and the other files above. This diff
    therefore changes the interface to have mercury_ml_expand_body.h
    build the list of univs directly. This make its code relatively simple
    and self-contained, and it should be somewhat faster then the old code
    as well, since it never needs to allocate, fill in and then free
    vectors of type_infos (each such typeinfo now gets put into a univ
    as soon as it is constructed). The downside is that if we ever wanted
    to get all the arguments at once for a purpose other than constructing
    a list of univs from them, it would nevertheless require constructing
    that list of univs anyway as an intermediate data structure. I don't see
    this downside is significant, because (a) I don't think such a use case
    is very likely, and (b) even if one arises, debuggable but a bit slow
    is probably preferable to faster but very hard to debug.

    Reduce the level of indentation of some of these files to make the code
    easier to edit. Do this by

    - not adding an indent level from switch statements to their cases; and
    - not adding an indent level when a case in a switch has a local block.

    Move the break or return ending a case inside that case's block,
    if it has one.

runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h:
runtime/mercury_table_type_body.h:
    Update these to enable the copying or tabling of terms whose

    of unify-by-rtti with the speed of unify-by-compiler-generated-code,
    and in real life, we always use the latter. (It hasn't been updated
    to work right with previous arg packing changes either.)

b06b2621b3 Move towards packing args with secondary tags.
compiler/hlds_data.m:
    Add bespoke types to record information about local and remote secondary
    tags. The one for local secondary tags includes the value of the
    primary and secondary tag together, since construct unifications
    need to assign this value, and it is better to compute this once,
    instead leaving the target language compiler to do it, potentially
    many times.

    Use a wrapped uint8 to record primary tag values, and wrapped uints
    to record secondary tag values. The wrap is to prevent any accidental
    confusion with other values. The use of uint8 and uint has two purposes.
    First, using the tighest possible representation. Tags are never negative,
    and primary tags cannot exceed 7. Second, using these types in the compiler
    help us eat our own dogfood; if a change causes a problem affecting
    these types, its bootcheck should fail, alerting us to the problem.

    Add commented-out types and fields that will be needed for packing
    sub-word-sized arguments together with both local and remote secondary
    tags.

8e6033f1f1 Avoid using a soon-to-be-deleted field.
I intend to delete the field in du_type_repns that maps cons_ids to cons_tags.
The information in that map is now present in the field that maps
(the names of) cons_ids to not just the tag of that cons_id, but all the other
representation information for that cons_id. (The duplicate storage of that
information is just a transition arrangement.)

fb97df69ed Make "compute type representations" a separate pass.
The ultimate purpose of this diff is to prepare for future improvements
in type representations, allowing values of some data types to be represented
more compactly than up to now.

The main way this diff does that is by creating a separate pass for deciding
how values of each type should be represented. We have traditionally decided
data representations for each type as its type definition was processed
during the make_hlds pass, but these decisions were always tentative,
and could be overridden later, e.g. when we processed foreign_type or
foreign_enum pragmas for the type. This dispersed decision making algorithm
is hard to understand, and therefore to change.

This diff centralizes decisions about type representations in a separate
pass that does nothing else. It leaves the algorithm distributed among
several files (du_type_layout.m, make_tags.m, and add_foreign_enum.m) for now,
to make reviewing this diff easier, but soon after it is committed I intend
to move all the relevant code to du_type_layout.m, to centralize the decision
code in "space" as well as in time.

For the reason why this pass runs before any of the semantic analysis
passes, instead of after all of them as I originally intended and as we
discussed on m-dev in late october 2017, see the big comment at the start of
du_type_layout.m.

As per another part of that same discussion on m-dev, this diff
makes a start on implementing a new type of item, the type_repn item,
which is intended *only* to be used in compiler-generated interface files,
*not* in source files. It is only a start because we can use these items
only *after* the creation of a separate type representation decision pass,
and this diff is already very big. The code for making the compiler understand
these items will be added later. The code for generating them will be added
later still, once the code for understanding them has been installed on
all our systems.

Since I was going to be working on the affected code anyway, this diff
also carries out two other decisions that came out of that discussion:

- the deletion of the ability to reserve a tag in a type for HAL,
  either via a compiler option or via a pragma, and

- the deletion of the ability to represent a functor using the address
  of a statically allocated object (which we haven't used and won't use,
  because it slows down accesses to *all the other functors* of the type).

compiler/mercury_compile_front_end.m:
    Invoke the new pass for making decisions about type representations
    after the make_hlds pass. (We used to do only the final part of it then.)

    Fix a bad dump stage name.

    Add an extra check for what it means for a module to be error free.

    Make a sub-switch explicit.

compiler/hlds.m:
compiler/make_hlds.m:
    Move the modules that implement the new pass from the make_hlds package
    to the hlds package, to give the compiler's top level access to them.

    Make the same move for the modules that the new pass's modules need.
    Since they are now part of hlds, they cannot reach into make_hlds,
    and I think this is a cleaner solution than forwarding predicates.

    Delete some forwarding predicates that are no longer needed.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
    Document the updated location of the moved modules.

    Add an XXX to note a place where the documentation has not been
    updated in the past.

compiler/du_type_layout.m:
    Add code to implement the new pass.

    Keep the algorithm for deciding type representations as close
    to the previously used algorithm as possible, since this diff
    is already big enough. (The previous algorithm was scattered across
    add_type.m, add_foreign_enum.m, and make_hlds_passes.m.)

    Simplifications and optimizations will come later, after this module
    is merged with make_tags.m and with (at least) the foreign_enum half of
    add_foreign_enum.m.

compiler/make_tags.m:
    Keep the functionality of this module, which does both the first part
    of deciding type representations (tentatively assigning tags to functors,
    an assignment that may be overridden later), and the last part (packing
    multiple adjacent less-than-word-sized enum args into a single word,
    if possible.), but simplify it where possible, and note possibilities
    for further improvements.

compiler/add_foreign_enum.m:
    This module has two halves, one dealing with foreign_enum pragmas
    and one dealing with foreign_export_enum pragmas.

    Change the half that deals with foreign_enum pragmas to just build
    a data structure that du_type_layout.m will need to make its decisions,
    this structure being a map from type_ctors to the foreign enum
    specification applicable to the current target language. Include
    in this structure a component that add_foreign_enum.m itself can use
    to report better error messages for duplicate foreign_enum pragmas;
    this component records, for each type_ctor and language, the context
    of the previous foreign_enum pragma for that combo.

    Change the input for the half that deals with foreign_export_enum pragmas
    to reflect the fact that it is invoked by du_type_layout.m after all
    decisions about type representations have already been made.

compiler/add_special_pred.m:
    Move this module from the make_hlds package to the hlds package,
    since the code that adds special preds for type is now called from
    du_type_layout.m.

    Change the names of predicates to make clear whether they add
    only the declaration of a predicate, only its definition, or both.

    Don't try to pre-guess whether the implementation of a type's
    compare predicate will need an index predicate. Let the code
    that generates calls to the index predicate both declare and define
    the index predicate. This change removes the potential for
    inconsistencies between the two pieces of code.

compiler/add_pred.m:
    Move this module from the make_hlds package to the hlds package,
    since add_special_pred.m needs access to it.

compiler/add_type.m:
    When adding a type definition to the HLDS, don't try to decide
    its representation. Any such decision was tentative anyway, due
    to the possibility of e.g. the later processing of foreign_type
    or foreign_enum pragmas for the type. Likewise, don't try to
    create the special (unify, compare) predicates for the type.
    Leave both tasks to the du_type_layout pass.

    Likewise, don't try to pack the representation of types, or record
    no_tag types in the table of no_tag types, during the post-processing
    pass either; leave both of these to du_type_layout as well.
    Rename the predicate that post_processes type definitions to reflect
    the two tasks left for it to do.

compiler/prog_data.m:
    Do not store width information about the arguments of those data
    constructors in the parse tree. That information is not computed
    until later; until then, it was always filled in with dummy values.
    (But see hlds_data.m below.)

    Use bespoke types to represent the presence or absence of user-specified
    unify and compare predicates.

    Change the representation of data constructors to use a single "maybe"
    type, not two lists, to denote the presence or absence of existentially
    typed arguments.

    Give the HLDS the ability to hold representation information about
    abstract types that in the future we will get from type_repn items
    in the defining modules' interface files.

    Delete the uses_reserved_tag type, since we never use reserved tags
    anymore.

compiler/prog_item.m:
    Add the new type_repn item type, which is not used yet.

    Delete the reserve_tag pragma.

    Fix an earlier mistake in the wording of a context message.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
    Put all the fields of hlds_du_type (the type definition variant dealing
    with discriminated union types) that deal with type representation
    issues in a single "maybe" field that is set to "no" before the
    type representation decision pass has been run.

    Add new type, constructor_repn, that stores the same information as the old
    constructor type (defined in prog_data.m), PLUS the information
    describing how terms with that data constructor are stored.

    Likewise, add a new type ctor_arg_rep, which likewise stores
    the widths of each constructor argument. When we implement
    argument reordering, we would store the offset of the arg as well.

    Since the parse tree representations of constructors and their arguments
    don't store representation information anymore, the cons_table they
    are stored in doesn't either. Make the lookup of representation information
    for a given constructor possible by adding a map to the new "maybe" field
    of hlds_du_type.

    Provide some utility predicates.

    Optimize some existing predicates.

    Rename some types to better reflect their meaning.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
    Provide a slot in the module_info for storing the information
    gathered by make_hlds.m that is needed by the new pass.

compiler/make_hlds_separate_items.m:
    When we see either a foreign_enum or a foreign_export_enum pragma,
    return values of a bespoke type for them (a type defined in
    hlds_module.m), instead of an item_pragma. This makes handling them
    considerably easier.

compiler/make_hlds_passes.m:
    With the changes in this diff, adding a type to the HLDS won't
    decide its representation. Therefore delete the code that used
    to loop over foreign_export_enum pragmas; in the absence of
    the final type representation information, it won't work right.

    Record the information that the du_type_layout pass will need
    in the module_info.

compiler/add_pragma.m:
    Delete the code for passing on foreign_enum and foreign_export_enum
    pragmas to add_foreign_enum.m; they are now passed to add_foreign_enum.m
    by du_type_layout.m.

    Move a utility predicate to make_hlds_error.m, to allow add_foreign_enum.m
    to call it.

compiler/make_hlds_error.m:
    Add the utility predicate moved from add_pragma.m.

    Move the module from the make_hlds to the hlds package.

compiler/module_qual.m:
    Provide a mechanism for recording error messages about e.g. undefined
    types without recording that we found an undefined type. This sounds
    strange, but there is a valid use case.

    When a type definition declares a functor's argument to be of an
    undefined type, that error is usually fatal; we stop the compiler
    from proceeding even to typechecking, since the typechecker will
    probably abort with a map lookup failure. Most other references
    to undefined types are similarly fatal for the same reason. However,
    if e.g. a foreign_export_enum pragma refers to an undefined type,
    that error *won't* be visible to the typechecker, and therefore
    won't crash it. The error will still cause the compiler to exit
    without generating any target language code, but at least it will be
    able to run the typechecker and other semantic analysis passes.

    Without this change, the compiler will report only one error in
    the ee_invalid.m test case; with it, it reports *every* error
    in the test case expected output.

compiler/module_qual.qualify_items.m:
    Use the capability describe above for undefined types in
    foreign_export_enum pragmas.

compiler/module_qual.qual_errors.m:
    Delete a (somewhat incorrect) copy of a predicate in prog_item.m,
    to reduce code duplication.

compiler/prog_type.m:
    Add ways to represent abstract types whose representations are nevertheless
    known (from type_repn items in the defining modules' interface files)
    to be notag or dummy types. This will be needed to fix Mantis bug #441,
    a fix that will probably be one of the first later changes to build
    on this diff.

    Delete a type moved to type_util.m.

compiler/type_util.m:
    Provide extra versions of some predicates, with the difference between
    the old and the new versions being that one requires type representations
    to have been decided already, and the other one does not.

    Move the definition of the ctor_defn type here from prog_type.m,
    since prog_type.m itself does not use it, but type_util.m does.

    Give some predicates more meaningful names.

compiler/parse_type_defn.m:
    Simplify the code for parsing type definitions, to make it easier
    to reuse to parse type_repn items.

    Add a sanity check that requires existential constraints to have
    *some* existential variables to apply to.

    Allow "type_is_representable_in_n_bits" as a synonym for
    "type_is_abstract_enum", since in the future we want to be able to pack
    e.g. multiple int8s, not just multiple enums, into a single word.

    Generate more specific error messages for some classes of malformed input.

compiler/parse_type_repn.m:
    New module to parse type_repn items.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
    Make some predicates that operate on type constructors take
    the type constructors themselves as input arguments, not a whole type
    *using* that type constructor. Put the arguments of those predicates
    in a more standard order.

    Note that some predicates don't belong in this module.

compiler/special_pred.m:
    Make the code that decides whether a special predicate for a type
    constructor can be defined lazily avoid using type representation
    information. (Actually, we now make decisions about lazy vs eager
    definitions after type representation is available, but that was
    not so in an earlier version of this change, and the new code
    is more robust.)

compiler/unify_proc.m:
    When we decide to generate code for a compare predicate that needs
    the type to have an index predicate, don't presume that the index
    predicate has already been declared and defined; instead, declare
    and define it then and there. (Index predicates are *never* called
    from anywhere else.)

    Pack the information needed to define a special predicate
    into a single structure, to simplify the above.

    Since the creation of a clause for a compare predicate may now require
    the declaration and definition of an index predicate, the module_info
    field of the unify_proc_info is now a writeable field.

    Give some predicates and function symbols more meaningful names.

    Note some problems with the existing code.

f519e26173 Add builtin 64-bit integer types -- Part 1.
Add the new builtin types: int64 and uint64.

Support for these new types will need to be bootstrapped over several changes.
This is the first such change and does the following:

- Extends the compiler to recognise 'int64' and 'uint64' as builtin types.
- Extends the set of builtin arithmetic, bitwise and relational operators
  to cover the new types.
- Adds the new internal option '--unboxed-int64s' to the compiler; this will be
  used to control whether 64-bit integer types are boxed or not.
- Extends all of the code generators to handle the new types.
- Extends the runtimes to support the new types.
- Adds new modules to the standard library intend to contain basic operations
  on the new types.  (These are currently empty and not documented.)

There are bunch of limitations marks with "XXX INT64"; these will be lifted in
part 2 of this change.  Also, 64-bit integer types are currently always boxed,
again this limitation will be lifted in later changes.

8a240ba3f0 Add builtin 8, 16 and 32 bit integer types -- Part 1.
Add the new builtin types: int8, uint8, int16, uint16, int32 and uint32.
Support for these new types will need to be bootstrapped over several changes.
This is the first such change and does the following:

- Extends the compiler to recognise 'int8', 'uint8', 'int16', 'uint16', 'int32'
  and 'uint32' as builtin types.
- Extends the set of builtin arithmetic, bitwise and relational operators to
  cover the new types.
- Extends all of the code generators to handle new types.  There currently lots
  of limitations and placeholders marked by 'XXX FIXED SIZE INT'.  These will
  be lifted in later changes.
- Extends the runtimes to support the new types.
- Adds new modules to the standard library intended to hold the basic
  operations on the new types.  (These are currently empty and not documented.)

This change does not introduce the two 64-bit types, 'int64' and 'uint64'.
Their implementation is more complicated and is best left to a separate change.

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/builtin_lib_types.m:

2ac8465659 Make the code adding new types to the HLDS readable.
The motivation for this diff was that I wanted the compiler to generate
a warning if a module declared the same type twice. (During the cleanup
of unify_proc.m I did recently, I found and fixed such a duplicate
declaration.)

compiler/add_type.m:
    The old code of module_add_type_defn was not just long (210+ lines),
    it is also very complex.

    Part of this complexity was sort-of justified. It dealt with adding
    three separate kinds of item_type_defns: abstract type "definitions",
    which are actually declarations; the definitions of Mercury types,
    and the definitions of foreign types. A single type could have more than
    one of these (e.g. declaration and a definition, or a Mercury definition
    and a foreign definition), and it had to be prepared to process these
    in any order.

    Part of this complexity was self-inflicted. The parts of the predicate
    that dealt with the same kind of definition were not always next to each
    other, and for some parts, it wasn't even clear *what* kind of definition
    it was dealing with. It did the same tests on both the old and updated
    versions of definitions, when those definitions were guaranteed to be
    identical; the "updating" predicate was a no-op. And it used completely
    different code for detecting and handling related errors.

    This diff fixes the above problems. It separates the task of adding
    an item_type_defn to the HLDS into three subtasks, done in three separate
    predicates: adding type declarations, adding Mercury definitions, and
    adding foreign definitions. It specializes each predicate to its task,
    and simplifies its decision flow. It also delegates the creation of
    (most) error messages to separate predicates. Together, these changes
    make each of module_add_type_defn_{abstract,mercury,foreign} easily
    understandable.

    Generate a warning if a type is declared twice, i.e. if e.g.
    ":- type x." is followed by another ":- type x.".

    Call module_info_incr_errors to register the presence of errors in just
    one central place. (Before, some of the places that generated error
    messages incremented the error count, and some places didn't.)

    Improve the wording of some error messages.

    Refer to type names in error messages by unqualified sym_names
    in cases where the module qualifier being elided is obvious from
    the name of the module being compiled.

092e175f45 Add a builtin unsigned word sized integer type -- Part 1.
Add a new builtin type: uint, which is an unsigned word sized integer type.
Support for this new type will need be bootstrapped over several changes.
This is the first such change and does the following:

- Extends the compiler to recognize 'uint' as a builtin type.
- Extends the set of builtin operations to include relational and (some)
  arithmetic operations on uints.
- Extends all of the code generators to handle the above.  There are some
  limitations currently marked by 'XXX UINT'.  These will be lifted once
  the compiler recognised uint and additional library support becomes
  available.
- Extends the runtime to support uints.

compiler/prog_type.m:
compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/builtin_lib_types.m:
    Recognize uint as a builtin type.

    Add a new alternative to the cons_id/0 type corresponding to the uint type
    -- for bootstrapping purposes its argument is currently an int.

compiler/builtin_ops.m:
    Add builtin relational and arithmetic operations on uints.  Note that the
    existing 'unsigned_le' operation is actually intended for use with signed
    values.  Rather than attempt to modify its meaning, I have just added new
    operations specific to the uint type.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
    Add a new tag type for uints.

compiler/type_ctor_info.m:
    Recognise uint as a builtin.

    Bump the RTTI version number here.

     Generate the appropriate target code for uint constants and uint
     relational operations.

b2ae55c29c Change 'none' to 'none_or_default_func' in ho_inst_info.
This value of ho_inst_info is used for first-order values as well as
for functions that have the default inst, and the new name better
reflects that.

Places using this value have been checked for correctness. Issues that
need to be looked at have been marked with XXX, although have not been
addressed in this change.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Update the type.

compiler/inst_match.m:
	Add XXX comments. This module needs to check for non-default
	function insts in a bunch of places.

compiler/inst_util.m:
	Add XXX comments. We lose information about non-default function
	insts when merging bound and any. The information needs to be
	either preserved or disallowed entirely.

compiler/float_regs.m:
	Add XXX comments. This module may miss cases involving default
	function insts.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
	Add XXX comment. We should exclude pred and non-default func
	lambda non-locals from becoming locked, an addition to default
	functions.

compiler/*.m:
	No special handling is required for other modules.

cc9912faa8 Don't import anything in packages.
Packages are modules whose only job is to serve as a container for submodules.
Modules like top_level.m, hlds.m, parse_tree.m and ll_backend.m are packages
in this (informal) sense.

Besides the include_module declarations for their submodules, most of the
packages in the compiler used to import some modules, mostly other packages
whose component modules their submodules may need. For example, ll_backend.m
used to import parse_tree.m. This meant that modules in the ll_backend package
did not have to import parse_tree.m before importing modules in the parse_tree
package.

However, this had a price. When we add a new module to the parse_tree package,
parse_tree.int would change, and this would require the recompilation of ALL
the modules in the ll_backend package, even the ones that did NOT import ANY
of the modules in the parse_tree package.

This happened even at one remove. Pretty much all modules in every one
of the backend have to import one or more modules in the hlds package,
and they therefore have import hlds.m. Since hlds.m imported transform_hlds.m,
any addition of a new middle pass to the transform_hlds package required
the recompilation of all backend modules, even in the usual case of the two
having nothing to do with each other.

This diff removes all import_module declarations from the packages,
and replaces them with import_module declarations in the modules that need
them. This includes only a SUBSET of their child modules and of the non-child
modules that import them.

9e01e8da4a Improve error messages for bad insts in mutables.
compiler/add_mutable_aux_preds.m:
compiler/hlds_code_util.m:
    Move the code that tests the insts in mutables to see if they are allowed
    in mutables from hlds_code_util.m to add_mutable_aux_preds.m, since that
    code is not a generally useful utility.

    Change that code so that instead of generating the same error message
    ("this is not a valid inst for a mutable") for all errors, we now
    (a) generate a separate error message for each problem in the inst, and
    (b) generate a message that is specific to the error, for each such
    error.

compiler/prog_item.m:
    Record two insts for each mutable, not one. The two differ in that
    one is processed by equiv_type.m, the other isn't. If possibly,
    add_mutable_aux_preds.m generates error messages from the latter,
    because it preserves the original structure of the inst. This is
    important, because having the compiler complain about e.g. a "unique"
    inst in a mutable is confusing if the inst in the mutable is just "i1".
    You want the error message to explain that "unique" is part of the
    expansion of "i1", and this can only be done if the test works on an inst
    in which equiv_type.m hasn't replaced "i1" with its definition.

    Record two types for each mutable, not one, with the same difference,
    for the same reason, for use by future checks on types in mutables.

    Put the fields of item_mutable_infos into a more logical order.

compiler/equiv_type.m:
    Process only one of each pair of type and inst fields in
    item_mutable_infos.

compiler/get_dependencies.m:
compiler/module_qual.m:
compiler/parse_tree_out.m:
compiler/prog_io_mutable.m:

656493dfdf Use separate types for the status of different entity kinds.
We used the old import_status type to represent the status of six different
kinds of entities:

- types
- insts
- modes
- typeclasses
- instances
- predicates

even though some statuses that made sense for one kind of entity didn't for
another another (e.g. predicates can be pseudo imported/exported, but the
other five kinds of entities cannot).

Create the new types type_status, inst_status, ..., pred_status to represent
the status of these entities in the HLDS. For now, these are just wrappers
around the renamed old_import_status type, but I plan to replace them with
status types that *are* specialized to the applicable kind of entity,
along the lines of compiler/notes/status_proposal. This is a necessary
first step towards that proposal.

compiler/status.m:
    Define the six new entity-kind-specific status types, and replicate
    the test predicates that used to work on the import_status type
    to work on these instead.

    Define a status type, item_mercury_status, that contains just the info
    that is common to all entities in an item block, for use during
    the process of adding items to the HLDS.

    Move the predicates that converted section markers to statuses
    from here to make_hlds_passes.m, since that is the only place
    where they are used, or can be used.

    Move the combine_status predicate here from add_type.m, since
    it is needed for combining the statuses of other kinds of entities
    as well, not just types.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
    Change the HLDS types that record the information we have about
    types, du type fields, insts, modes, typeclasses and instances
    to have kind-specific status fields, instead of the old generic
    import_status type.

    Change the prefix on the field names of the hlds_instance_defn type
    to avoid a name clash, and to make them more meaningful.

    Change the prefix on the field names of the hlds_class_defn type
    to make them more meaningful.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    Change the HLDS type that records the information we have about predicates
    to have a kind-specific status field, instead of the old generic
    import_status type.

    Update the predicates that test predicate statuses accordingly.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
    Change the HLDS types that record the information we have about
    type constructors to be type_status, not the old generic import_status.

compiler/make_hlds_passes.m:
    As we process each item block, pass along an item_mercury_status
    instead of an import_status. The code used to use only a subset
    of the possible values of the import_status type, since we can never say
    that all the entities in an item block are e.g. pseudo-exported.
    An item_mercury_status has just the information we actually *know*
    about the item block as a whole. We convert the item_mercury_status
    to a kind-specific status if and when we need to, but for several purposes,
    the item_mercury_status is enough on its own.

    In a few cases, add a new predicate to do this conversion.

    Pass the need_qualifier flag separately from the status. It is needed
    in only a few places, but this was not apparent when we always passed it
    around paired with the import_status.

    Move the predicates that converted section markers to statuses
    to here from status.m, since here is the only place where they are used,
    or can be used.

compiler/add_class.m:
    Convert the statuses of typeclasses and instances to the statuses
    of the predicates implementing their virtual and concrete methods.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
    Simplify some over-complex code.

compiler/add_special_pred.m:
    Convert the statuses of types to the statuses of the predicates
    implementing their unify, index, compare and solver init operations.
    Note some places where the process of this conversion is (to say the least)
    unclear and undocumented.

compiler/hlds_out_util.m:
    Provide utility predicates to print all the new kinds of statuses.
    These replace the old predicate that did the same in hlds_out_pred.m,
    but printing e.g. type statuses in hlds_out_pred doesn't seem right.

compiler/intermod.m:
    Conform to the changes above.

    Consistently use switches on the booleans returned by xxx_status_to_write,
    instead wrapping a semidet predicate around it and calling that.
    The switches yield code that is both smaller and more maintainable.

compiler/make_hlds_error.m:
    Conform to the changes above.

    Delete a simple wrapper predicate that was used only in one place.
    That place now does the wrapping itself.

compiler/qual_info.m:
    Replace the import_status field in the qual_info with a simple
    is_opt_imported/is_not_opt_imported flag, since that was the only
    thing we used the import_status field for.

62ec97d443 Report imports shadowed by other imports.
If a module has two or more import_module or use_module declarations
for the same module, (typically, but not always, one being in its interface
and one in its implementation), generate an informational message about
each redundant declaration if --warn-unused-imports is enabled.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
    We used to record the set of imported/used modules, and the set of
    modules imported/used in the interface of the current module. However,
    these sets

    - did not record the distinction between imports and uses;
    - did not allow distinction between single and multiple imports/uses;
    - did not record the locations of the imports/uses.

    The first distinction was needed only by module_qual.m, which *did*
    pay attention to it; the other two were not needed at all.

    To generate messages for imports/uses shadowing other imports/uses,
    we need all three, so change the data structure storing such information
    for *direct* imports to one that records all three of the above kinds
    of information. (For imports made by read-in interface and optimization
    files, the old set of modules approach is fine, and this diff leaves
    the set of thus *indirectly* imported module names alone.)

compiler/unused_imports.m:
    Use the extra information now available to generate a
    severity_informational message about any import or use that is made
    redundant by an earlier, more general import or use.

    Fix two bugs in the code that generated warnings for just plain unused
    modules.

    (1) It did not consider that a use of the builtin type char justified
    an import of char.m, but without that import, the type is not visible.

    (2) It scanned cons_ids in goals in procedure bodies, but did not scan
    cons_ids that have been put into the const_struct_db. (I did not update
    the code here when I added the const_struct_db.)

    Also, add a (hopefully temporary) workaround for a bug in
    make_hlds_passes.m, which is noted below.

    However, there are at least three problems that prevent us from enabling
    --warn-unused-imports by default.

    (1) In some places, the import of a module is used only by clauses for
    a predicate that also has foreign procs. When compiled in a grade that
    selects one of those foreign_procs as the implementation of the predicate,
    the clauses are discarded *without* being added to the HLDS at all.
    This leads unused_imports.m to generate an uncalled-for warning in such
    cases. To fix this, we would need to preserve the Mercury clauses for
    *all* predicates, even those with foreign procs, and do all the semantic
    checks on them before throwing them away. (I tried to do this once, and
    failed, but the task should be easier after the item list change.)

    (2) We have two pieces of code to generate import warnings. The one in
    unused_imports.m operates on the HLDS after type and mode checking,
    while module_qual.m operates on the parse tree before the creation of
    the HLDS. The former is more powerful, since it knows e.g. what types and
    modes are used in the bodies of predicates, and hence can generate warnings
    about an import being unused *anywhere* in a module, as opposed to just
    unused in its interface.

    If --warn-unused-imports is enabled, we will get two separate set of
    reports about an interface import being unused in the interface,
    *unless* we get a type or mode error, in which case unused_imports.m
    won't be invoked. But in case we do get such errors, we don't want to
    throw away the warnings from module_qual.m. We could store them and
    throw them away only after we know we won't need them, or just get
    the two modules to generate identical error_specs for each warning,
    so that the sort_and_remove_dups of the error specs will do the
    throwing away for us for free, if we get that far.

    (3) The valid/bug100.m test case was added as a regression test for a bug
    that was fixed in module_qual.m. However the bug is still present in
    unused_imports.m.

compiler/make_hlds_passes.m:
    Give hlds_module.m the extra information it now needs for each item_avail.

    Add an XXX for a bug that cannot be fixed right now: the setting of
    the status of abstract instances to abstract_imported. (The "abstract"
    part is correct; the "imported" part may not be.)

compiler/intermod.m:
compiler/try_expand.m:
compiler/xml_documentation.m:
    Conform to the change in hlds_module.m.

compiler/module_qual.m:
    Update the documentation of the relationship of this module
    with unused_imports.m.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
    Document a problem with the status of instance definitions.

compiler/hlds_out_module.m:
    Update the code that prints out the module_info to conform to the change
    to hlds_module.m.

    Print status information about instances, which was needed to diagnose
    one of the bugs in unused_imports.m. Format the output for instances
    nicer.

compiler/prog_item.m:
    Add a convenience predicate.

compiler/prog_data.m:
    Remove a type synonym that makes things harder to understand, not easier.

compiler/modules.m:
    Delete an XXX that asks for the feature this diff implements.
    Add another XXX about how that feature could be improved.

compiler/Mercury.options.m:
    Add some more modules to the list of modules on which the compiler
    should be invoked with --no-warn-unused-imports.

compiler/*.m:
library/*.m:
mdbcomp/*.m:
browser/*.m:
deep_profiler/*.m:
mfilterjavac/*.m:
    Delete unneeded imports. Many of these shadow other imports, and some
    are just plain unneeded, as shown by --warn-unused-imports. In a few
    modules, there were a *lot* of unneeded imports, but most had just
    one or two.

    In a few cases, removing an import from a module, because it *itself*
    does not need it, required adding that same import to those of its
    submodules which *do* need it.

    In a few cases, conform to other changes above.

tests/invalid/Mercury.options:
    Test the generation of messages about import shadowing on the existing
    import_in_parent.m test case (although it was also tested very thoroughly
    when giving me the information needed for the deletion of all the
    unneeded imports above).

    Delete unneeded imports, and update any expected error messages
    to expect the now-smaller line numbers.

89628ae791 More speedups of inst handling code.
On tools/speedtest -l -m, my tests show a speedup of about 2%, but
on Dirk's stress test module, for which the compiler (used to) spend
almost all its time handling insts, the speedup is about 40%.

This diff also contains some small incidental changes I stumbled upon
the "need" for while working on the main change.

compiler/prog_data.m:
    The existing inst_test_results type used to be able to hold the results
    of four tests about a bound inst. Add two more: the set of inst vars that
    may occur in the inst, and whether a type constructor has already been
    propagated into the cons_ids of the bound insts.

    Put the fields of the the unify_inst and merge_inst inst_names into
    a more sensible order.

    Define types that hold the information stored in specific kinds of
    inst_names, for use by hlds_data.m (see below).

compiler/inst_user.m:
    For each user defined bound inst that matches exactly one parameterless
    type, propagate its type constructor into it, and record the fact that
    it has been done. This avoids having to do it many times later.
    Also record the set of inst vars in each inst, again to avoid having
    to repeat the test many times later.

compiler/mercury_compile_front_end.m:
    Invoke the inst_user module as soon after inst_check.m as we can.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
    Make the structure of six subtables of the inst table private, to allow
    them to be experimented with (and possibly changed) without code changes
    being required in other modules.

    The unify_inst_table, the ground_inst_table and the any_inst_table
    used to be maps whose keys were inst_names, but they were each only ever
    used with one kind of inst_name. Change their keys to the new types
    unify_inst_info, ground_inst_info and any_inst_info, which each contain
    the information in the unify_inst, ground_inst and any_inst inst_names
    respectively. That way, the searches in the maps will perform comparisons
    that don't need to switch on what kind of inst_name they are dealing with,
    and instead go directly to comparing the arguments.

    With the unify_inst_table, also go a step further. The unify_inst_info
    has two fields that are equivalent to booleans. Comparing these
    at every level of the map is wasteful, so switch the representation
    of the unify_inst_table from one map to four maps, one map for each
    possible combination of those booleans. This way, the two booleans
    in the unify_inst_info key are tested just once, when the applicable map
    is selected.

    The merge_inst_table used to have a pair of insts as keys. Replace that
    with the merge_inst_info type, which also holds a pair of insts,
    but on which comparisons should be a bit faster, since it is not
    polymorphic, and thus does not need an implicit typeinfo passed along.

    Provide a combined search_insert operation on each of the inst_tables,
    since their pattern of use is exactly that: search the table, and if
    the key is not found, insert a marker that says the entry is being
    worked on. This avoid one traversal of a possibly-large tree, with
    its associated (possibly very expensive) comparisons.

    For each inst table, provide conversion predicates to and from
    sorted association lists, for use by equiv_type_hlds.m

compiler/equiv_type_hlds.m:
    Expand equivalence types in the new structure of the inst tables.

compiler/inst_util.m:
    Use the new search_insert predicates for the various inst_tables.

    If one of the two insts being unified is free, then avoid using
    the unify_inst_table, since just doing the abstract unification
    is faster, and does not pollute the unify_inst_table.

    If both insts being merged are bound insts, then avoid using the
    merge_inst_table, since (a) the lookup is slower than just doing
    the merge, and (b) it can pollute the merge_inst_table to the extent
    that *all other lookups* in it become very slow.

compiler/inst_match.m:
    Use test result information in bound insts to speed up the corresponding
    tests.

compiler/set_of_var.m:
    Change the representation of sets of vars back to sparse_bitsets.
    I changed them to tree_bitsets several years ago to avoid some bad
    worst-case behavior with sparse_bitsets (which occurred when repeatedly
    appending to the "ends" of sets), but other algorithmic changes have
    since avoiding using set_of_vars in ways that induce that behavior,
    and now my benchmarking tells me that the bottleneck operation is
    conversion of set_of_vars to lists of vars. This is faster with
    sparse_bitsets, since unlike tree_bitsets, they don't have to unravel
    a tree structure.

compiler/mode_util.m:
    Export a predicate now needed by inst_user.m, and clean up the code a bit,
    factoring out repeated code.

compiler/modecheck_util.m:
    Modify an equality comparison of two insts to compare the instantiation
    states themselves, but NOT the test results about those instantiation
    states, since these can differ if the two insts have different histories.

compiler/instmap.m:

compiler/mode_info.m:
    Move the documentation of some predicates to their declarations.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
    Compute some data closer to where it is needed, to reduce the number
    of stack slots needed.

    in singular), as well as module qualified insts, since having inst_user.m
    push type_ctors into the definitions of named inst module qualifies

8a6ffaab19 Fix Mantis bug #354.
I/O tabling has two main purposes. The first and more important is to allow the
debugger to replay parts of the program execution for the programmer, which
requires making I/O operations idempotent (so that we get the same results on
the second, third etc "execution" as on the first). The second purpose is to
let the person using the debugger actually see a list of the I/O actions, and
their results.

The root of the problem here is that the compiler can do the second part
only if it has access to the type_infos describing the types of the arguments
of the I/O action. With the current infrastructure for representing typeclass
information, this is not always possible in the presence of typeclass
constraints on I/O action predicates. The reason is that polymorphism.m can
put the typeinfo for a type variable that is subject to a typeclass constraint
arbitrarily deep inside the typeclass_info for that constraint, but the RTTI
can encode such locations only up to a fixed depth (currently only the
shallowest embedded is encodable).

Before this fix, the test case for this bug got a compiler abort when the
I/O tabling transformation tried to figure out how to table the typeclass
info representing the typeclass constraint on a I/O action predicate.

We still cannot table typeclass infos. We could store them (I/O tabling
does not require anything more complicated), but the problem of deeply buried
typeinfos inside them would still remain. So this fix consists of two parts:

- for typeclass constrained I/O primitives, recording only enough information
  to allow them to replayed (the first purpose above), and not to print them
  out (the second purpose), and
- getting the runtime system to understand this, and not crash with a core dump
  in the absence of the information required for the second purpose.

This second part requires changes to the RTTI used by I/O tabling. These
changes BREAK BINARY COMPATIBILITY in debug grades.

runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
    Rename the MR_TableIoDecl structure as the MR_TableIoEntry structure,
    since the I/O table entries that it describes are used not just for
    declarative debugging, but also for printing out I/O actions.

    Add a field to it that specifies whether the fields describing
    the types of the I/O action's arguments are meaningful.

runtime/mercury_grade.h:
    Bump the debug-only binary compatibility version number, since
    the change to mercury_stack_layout.h requires it.

runtime/mercury_trace_base.[ch]:
    When returning information about a tabled I/O action, return a boolean
    that says whether the information abouts its arguments is actually
    present or not. Do not return information about the arguments if
    we cannot convert them into univs due to missing type information.

browser/io_action.m:
    Pay attention to the new info returned by MR_trace_get_action,
    and avoid a potential core dump by generating a description of the
    requested I/O action only if the argument type information needed
    to generate that description is actually available.

trace/mercury_trace_vars.c:
    Pay attention to the new info returned by MR_trace_get_action.
    When the argument type information needed to generate an accurate
    description of the I/O action is not available, generate a
    "description" that mentions this fact.

trace/mercury_trace_cmd_browsing.c:
    Make the fix to mercury_trace_vars.c easier to test by adding a mechanism
    to print out all existing I/O actions, as long as there aren't too many
    of them.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/layout.m:

    of its arguments at runtime.

f6bdd99a80 Delete the MLDS->GCC (assembler) backend.
As discussed in the recent Mercury meeting, remove support for the GCC backend.
It was very much out of date and supporting it proprerly would means having to
track changes to GCC's internals.  Furthermore, its presence complicates
building the compiler.

The main thing this change does not address is the fact that we invoke

884838b9df If the backend supports constant structures, and we do not need unifications
Estimated hours taken: 8
Branches: main

If the backend supports constant structures, and we do not need unifications
to retain their original shapes, then convert each from_ground_term scope
into a unification with a cons_id that represents the ground term being
built up.

This speeds up the compilation of training_cars_full.m by about 6%.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Make the conversion if enabled. By doing the conversion in this phase,
	we don't have to teach the semantic analysis passes about unifications
	with the new cons_id, but we do get the benefit of later passes being
	faster, because they have less code to process.

compiler/const_struct.m:
	The declarative debugger does not yet know how to handle the new
	cons_id, so do not introduce it if we are preparing for declarative
	debugging.

compiler/trace_params.m:
	Export a predicate for const_struct.m.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add the new cons_id, ground_term_const.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add the tag of the new cons_id, ground_term_const_tag.

compiler/hlds_code_util.m:
	Convert the new cons_id to the new cons_tag.

	Fix an old problem with that conversion process: it always converted
	tuple_cons to single_functor_tag. However, arity-zero tuples are
	(dummy) constants, not heap cells, so we now convert them to a (dummy)
	integer tag. This matters now because the process that generates
	code (actually data) for constant structures handles the cons_tags that

ee63cb8d84 Heavily polymorphic code, such as that generated by g12, often builds the same
Estimated hours taken: 80
Branches: main

Heavily polymorphic code, such as that generated by g12, often builds the same
typeinfos and typeclass infos over and over again. We have long had caches
that avoid building a new typeinfo or typeclass info if some variable in the
current scope already contains the right value, but a program that has many
scopes may still build the same typeinfo or typeclass info many times.
If that typeinfo or typeclass info is a ground term, the code generators
will recognize that fact, and will turn all the constructions of that ground
term in different scopes into referencess to the same constant structure.
However, in the meantime, the program can be much bigger than necessary.
In the motivating test case for this change, a single call to fdic_post
is preceded by 133 goals that build the four typeclass infos it needs.

The main idea of this diff is to construct constant typeinfos and typeclass
infos out of line, in a separate data structure. Polymorphism then binds
variables representing typeinfo and typeclass infos to reference to these
constant structures. In the motivating example, this allows polymorphism.m
to insert just four goals before the call to fdic_post, the minimal possible
number: one for each typeclass info that predicate needs.

On Leslie's bug344 program, this change speeds up the compiler by a factor
of five to eight (reducing compile time from about 80 or 85 seconds to
10 or 15).

There is a drawback to this scheme, but it is minor. That drawback is that
once a constant structure is entered into our database of constant structures,
it cannot (yet) be removed. Even if all the references to a constant structure
are eliminated by optimizations, the structure will remain.

------------------------------------------

CHANGES IN THE FRONT END

compiler/const_struct.m:
	A new module to look after our new database of constant structures.
	Currently, its use is enable only on the LLDS and MLDS C backends.

compiler/hlds.m:
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Add the new module to the HLDS package.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Include the constant structure database in the module_info.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add two new cons_ids, which refer to typeinfos and typeclass infos
	implemented as constant structures.

	Move the code for calculating the number of extra instance args
	in base_typeclass_infos here from base_typeclass_info.m, since
	polymorphism.m now needs it too. We can now also eliminate the
	duplicate copy of that code in higher_order.m.

	Make an independent optimization: make the restrict_list_elements
	function more efficient by avoiding redundant tests.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	When building typeinfo and typeclass infos, keep track of whether
	the structure being built is constant. If it is, then put it in the
	database of constant structures, and replace the code building it
	with a simple reference to that new entry.

	Since I now expect most goal sequences inserted before goals to be
	short, consistent use lists of goals to represent these, since the
	costs of conversions to and from cord form are unlikely to be paid back
	by the higher efficiency of cord operations on longer sequences.

	When we want to get the typeclass info of a superclass out of the
	typeclass info of a subclass, if the typeclass info of the subclass
	is known, do the extraction here. We used to do this optimization
	only in higher_order.m, but doing so here reduces the size of the HLDS
	between polymorphism.m and higher_order.m, and thus improves
	compilation time.

	Reorganize some of the structure of this module to make the above
	changes possible. In particular, our new approach requires making
	snapshots of the varsets and vartypes, and later restoring those
	snapshots if the variables allocated turn out to be unnecessary,
	due to all of them describing the components of a constant structure.
	The correctness of such code is much easier to check if the taking
	and restoring of each snapshot takes places in a single predicate.

	Remove the code moved to higher_order.m.

	Add some debugging code for now. If no issues arise in the next few
	weeks, it can be deleted.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
	Treat unifications whose right hand side has a cons_id referring to a
	constant structure specially.

compiler/base_typeclass_info.m:
	Replace the code that is now in num_extra_instance_args with a call
	to that predicate.

	Put the arguments of some predicates in a more logical order.

compiler/higher_order.m:
	When looking up the components of existing typeclass infos, handle
	cases where those typeclass infos are constant structures.

	Give some types, fields and variables better names.

	Avoid a redundant map search.

	Avoid some redundant tests by providing separate predicates to handle
	higher order calls and method calls.

	Move the predicate is_typeclass_info_manipulator here from
	polymorphism.m, since this is the only module that uses that predicate.

------------------------------------------

CHANGES IN THE LLDS BACKEND:

compiler/llds.m:
	Add a type to map constant structure numbers to rvals together with
	their LLDS types.

	Introduce a type to represent rvals together with their LLDS types.

compiler/mercury_compile_llds_back_end.m:
	Before we generate code for the predicates of the module, convert
	the constant structures to typed LLDS rvals. Create a map mapping
	each constant structure number to the corresponding typed rvals.

compiler/proc_gen.m:
	Take that map, and put it into the code_info, to allow references
	to those structures to be translated.

	Put the arguments of some predicates into a more logical order.

compiler/code_info.m:
	Include a map giving the representation of each constant structure
	in the code_info.

compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Add the predicates needed to convert the constant structures of a
	module to LLDS rvals. For now, this code works only on the kinds of
	constant structures generated by polymorphism.m.

	Handle unifications whose right hand side is a reference to a constant
	structure.

compiler/global_data.m:
compiler/stack_layout.m:
	Use the new typed_rval type where relevant.

------------------------------------------

CHANGES IN THE MLDS BACKEND:

compiler/ml_proc_gen.m:
	Before we generate code for the predicates of the module, convert
	the constant structures to typed MLDS rvals. Create a map mapping
	each constant structure number to the corresponding typed rvals.

	Factor out some code into a predicate of its own.

compiler/ml_gen_info.m:
	Include a map giving the representation of each constant structure
	in the ml_gen_info.

	Also add to the ml_gen_info an indication of what GC system we are
	generating code for, since the code generator needs to know this often.

compiler/ml_unify_gen.m:
	Add the predicates needed to convert the constant structures of a
	module to MLDS rvals. For now, this code works only on the kinds of
	constant structures generated by polymorphism.m.

	Handle unifications whose right hand side is a reference to a constant
	structure.

	Simplify some existing code.

------------------------------------------

MINOR CHANGES:

mdbcomp/prim_data.m:
	Add a predicate that gets both the module name and the base name
	from a sym_name at the same time. This is used for minor speedups
	in other code updated in this diff.

compiler/dead_proc_elim.m:
	Scan constant structures for references to entities that need to be
	kept alive.

compiler/term_constr_build.m:
compiler/term_traversal.m:
	Do not build size constraints from references to constant structures.
	The sizes of constant terms don't change, so they are irrelevant
	when building constraints for finding argument size changes.

932f7256ba A large part of the cost of a large ground term is incurred not when the
Estimated hours taken: 40
Branches: main

A large part of the cost of a large ground term is incurred not when the
term is constructed, but when it is used. The inst of the term will be huge,
and will typically have to be traversed many times. Some of those traversals
would be linear if not for the fact that, in order to avoid infinite loops
on recursive insts, the predicate doing the traversal has to keep a set
of the insts visited so far. When the traversal is in the middle of the ground
term's inst, it is looking up that inst in a set of the insts of its containing
terms all the way up to the root. When the ground term contains a list with
many repeated elements near the start, the cost of the traversal is cubic
in the length of the list: a linear number of set membership tests, each
of which tests the current inst against a linear number of large insts,
the test itself being linear.

This diff aims to totally sidestep all that. It extends the mer_inst type
to allow (but not require) the creator of an inst to record what the outcome
of some tests on the inst would be. Is it ground? Does it contain "any"?
What inst names and types may it contain? If the creator records this answer,
which the code that creates ground terms does, then many tests will now run
in CONSTANT time, not linear, quadratic or cubic.

We do this only for bound insts. While the concept can apply to all insts,
for small insts it can cost more to interpret the results term than to
do the test directly. Insts cannot be large without being composed mostly
of bound insts, so by recording this info only for bound insts, we can
speed up the handling of all large insts.

This also has the side benefit that in many cases, a traversal that operates
on an inst will often do so in order to compute an updated version of that
inst. In many cases, the updated version is the same as the original version,
but since the traversal has to be prepared for updates, it makes a copy
of the inst anyway. The result of the traversal is thus an inst that has
the same value as the original inst but not the same address. This makes
it useless to try to do equality checks of related insts in constant time
by looking at the pointers. With this diff, many such traversals can be
avoided, allowing the updated inst to keep the address as well as the value
of the corresponding original inst.

Without this diff, the compiler takes more than 10 seconds to compile
zm_rcpsp_cpx.m, with most of that time being spent in mode checking.
With this diff, it takes less than 5 seconds. Basically, mode checking
went from 6+ seconds to 1. The profile of the compiler is now flat on this
input; no single pass takes much more time than the others.

The speed of the compiler is unaffected on tools/speedtest. (Actually, it
gets a very slight speedup, but it is in the noise.)

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Change the bound/2 functor of the mer_inst type to bound/3, adding
	a field that gives the outcome of some common tests performed on insts.
	When we attach insts to the variables representing parts of ground
	terms, we mark the insts accordingly. This allows us to perform many
	tests on insts in constant time, not in a time that is linear,
	quadratic or worse in the size of the inst.

	Obviously, this required the modification of most predicates dealing
	with insts. Where the original predicates used multiple clauses,
	inconsistent variable names and/or bad grouping or ordering of code,
	this diff fixes that.

	More to the point, while in many places, the new code ignores the new
	field in input insts as either not relevant or not useful, in several
	places, the new code

	- pays attention to this field in input insts and executes less or
	  faster code if the result of some test it needs is already available
	  in it, or

	- fills in the field in insts it generates as output.

	Most, but not all, of changes in the first of those two categories
	were in inst_util.m and inst_match.m.

compiler/hlds_out_mode.m:
	When writing out insts, or converting them to term form as the first
	step in printing them out, print the new field if we are generating
	debug output (such as a HLDS dump), but do not do so if we are
	generating actual Mercury code (such as a .opt file).

	Reorder the arguments of many predicates to move the context argument
	BEFORE the argument representing the object to be printed or converted

12281f3419 Implement a type representation optimisation ("direct argument functors"),
Branches: main

Implement a type representation optimisation ("direct argument functors"),
where a functor with exactly one argument can be represented by a tagged
pointer to the argument value, which itself does not require the tag bits,
e.g.

	:- type maybe_foo ---> yes(foo) ; no.
	:- type foo       ---> foo(int, int).  % aligned pointer

To ensure that all modules which could construct or deconstruct the functor
agree on the type representation, I had planned to automatically output
extra information to .int files to notify importing modules about functors
using the optimised representation:

	:- type maybe_foo ---> yes(foo) ; no
		where direct_arg is [yes/1].

However, the compiler does not perform enough (or any) semantic analysis
while making interface files.  The fallback solution is to only use the
optimised representation when all importing modules can be guaranteed to
import both the top-level type and the argument type, namely, when both
types are exported from the same module.  We also allow certain built-in
argument types; currently this only includes tuples.

Non-exported types may use the optimised representation, but when
intermodule optimisation is enabled, they may be written out to .opt files.
Then, we *do* add direct_arg attributes to .opt files to ensure that importing
modules agree on the type representation.  The attributes may also be added by
Mercury programmers to source files, which will be copied directly into .int
files without analysis.  They will be checked when the module is actually
compiled.

This patch includes work by Zoltan, who independently implemented a version
of this change.
