Estimated hours taken: 0.5

compiler/lambda.m:
	Clean up the code a bit: lambda__transform_lambda does not
	need to be exported, since it isn't used elsewhere, and the
	code is in fact clearer if it is manually inlined into its
	caller (lambda__process_lambda).

Estimated hours taken: 4

compiler/lambda.m:
	Fix a bug: when adding extra type_infos need for lambda procs,
	we need to add extra type_infos for the lambda parameters too,
	not just for the the lambda goal's non-locals.
	This bug caused an internal compiler error when compiling
	extras/trailed_update/tests/var_test.m.

Estimated hours taken: 51

Make closures always include layout information, not just in grades in which
typeinfo liveness is turned on. This requires separating two notions,
which were previously combined:

-	Body typeinfo liveness means that when a variable X is live, any
	typeinfo variables describing type variables that occur in the type
	of X must also be live.

-	Interface typeinfo liveness means that when the input arguments
	of a procedure include a polymorphically typed variable (e.g. X),
	typeinfo variables describing type variables that occur in the type
	of X must also be among the arguments.

This change turns on interface typeinfo liveness for procedures that either
have their address taken in the current module, or are exported and thus may
have their address taken in some other module.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Centralize decisions wrt whether procedure interfaces and bodies
	use typeinfo liveness here.

compiler/options.m:
	Rename the typeinfo_liveness option as body_typeinfo_liveness,
	since this reflects its new function.

compiler/call_gen.m:
compiler/higher_order.m:
compiler/live_vars.m:
compiler/liveness.m:
compiler/unused_args.m:
	Use hlds_pred.m to make decisions about liveness.

compiler/lambda.m:
	Always include the relevant typeinfos in the interfaces of procedures
	created for lambdas.

compiler/continuation_info.m:
compiler/stack_layout.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Modify the predicates that record and use layout information about
	closures to always do so, since the necessary information is now
	always available about the interfaces of procedures which can be
	put into closures. Previously, they only did so if typeinfo_liveness
	was set.

	Also, generate information about the types of the variables in a
	closure from the pred_info's arg types field, not from the proc_info's
	var types field, because unlike the latter, it is valid even for
	imported predicates.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Print the non-clause-related information in the clauses_info part
	of a pred_info (e.g. the type parameters) even if the predicate
	has no actual clauses. Simplify the code a bit by getting rid of
	a duplicate test.

compiler/middle_rec.m:
	Require that the code generated for the base case not refer to any
	stack slots if this way of generating code is to be used. This is
	necessary because the base case is executed when the current procedure
	has no stack frame, and thus any references to stack slots would
	refer to and possibly overwrite the data in another procedure's frame.
	In the absence of requiring body typeinfo liveness for exported
	procedures, such references were not generated; in its presence,
	they were. However, we now require only interface liveness for
	exported procedures, so we can still use middle recursion for them.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Do not turn off middle_rec if (body) typeinfo liveness is turned on,
	now that the bug has been fixed. For polymorphic predicates, the base
	case will still contain references to stack slots, and thus the
	middle-rec optimization will not applied for them, but the optimization
	may apply to monomorphic predicates.

compiler/passes_aux.m:
	Add the ability to call compiler passes with the procedure id
	as well as the predicate id of the procedure they are passed.

tests/hard_coded/typeclasses/Mmakefile:
	Refer to --body-typeinfo-liveness instead of --typeinfo-liveness.

2725b1a331 Aditi update syntax, type and mode checking.
Estimated hours taken: 220

Aditi update syntax, type and mode checking.

Change the hlds_goal for constructions in preparation for
structure reuse to avoid making multiple conflicting changes.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Merge `higher_order_call' and `class_method_call' into a single
	`generic_call' goal type. This also has alternatives for the
	various Aditi builtins for which type declarations can't
	be written.

	Remove the argument types field from higher-order/class method calls.
	It wasn't used often, and wasn't updated by optimizations
	such as inlining. The types can be obtained from the vartypes
	field of the proc_info.

	Add a `lambda_eval_method' field to lambda_goals.

	Add a field to constructions to identify which RL code fragment should
	be used for an top-down Aditi closure.

	Add fields to constructions to hold structure reuse information.
	This is currently ignored -- the changes to implement structure
	reuse will be committed to the alias branch.
	This is included here to avoid lots of CVS conflicts caused by
	changing the definition of `hlds_goal' twice.

	Add a field to `some' goals to specify whether the quantification
	can be removed. This is used to make it easier to ensure that
	indexes are used for updates.

	Add a field to lambda_goals to describe whether the modes were
	guessed by the compiler and may need fixing up after typechecking
	works out the argument types.

	Add predicate `hlds_goal__generic_call_id' to work out a call_id
	for a generic call for use in error messages.

compiler/purity.m:
compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	Fill in the modes of Aditi builtin calls and closure constructions.
	This needs to know which are the `aditi__state' arguments, so
	it must be done after typechecking.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Added `:- type sym_name_and_arity ---> sym_name/arity'.

	Add a type `lambda_eval_method', which describes how a closure
	is to be executed. The alternatives are normal Mercury execution,
	bottom-up execution by Aditi and top-down execution by Aditi.

compiler/prog_out.m:
	Add predicate `prog_out__write_sym_name_and_arity', which
	replaces duplicated inline code in a few places.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add a `lambda_eval_method' field to `pred_const' cons_ids and
	`pred_closure_tag' cons_tags.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Remove type `pred_call_id', replace it with type `simple_call_id',
	which combines a `pred_or_func' and a `sym_name_and_arity'.

	Add a type `call_id' which describes all the different types of call,
	including normal calls, higher-order and class-method calls
	and Aditi builtins.

	Add `aditi_top_down' to the type `marker'.

	Remove `aditi_interface' from type `marker'. Interfacing to
	Aditi predicates is now handled by `generic_call' hlds_goals.

	Add a type `rl_exprn_id' which identifies a predicate to
	be executed top-down by Aditi.
	Add a `maybe(rl_exprn_id)'  field to type `proc_info'.

	Add predicate `adjust_func_arity' to convert between the arity
	of a function to its arity as a predicate.

	Add predicates `get_state_args' and `get_state_args_det' to
	extract the DCG state arguments from an argument list.

	Add predicate `pred_info_get_call_id' to get a `simple_call_id'
	for a predicate for use in error messages.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Write the new representation for call_ids.

	Add a predicate `hlds_out__write_call_arg_id' which
	replaces similar code in mode_errors.m and typecheck.m.

compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
	Add support for `aditi_bottom_up' and `aditi_top_down' annotations
	on pred expressions.

compiler/prog_io_util.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Add predicates
	- `prog_io_util:parse_name_and_arity' to parse `SymName/Arity'
		(moved from prog_io_pragma.m).
	- `prog_io_util:parse_pred_or_func_name_and_arity to parse
		`pred SymName/Arity' or `func SymName/Arity'.
	- `prog_io_util:parse_pred_or_func_and_args' to parse terms resembling
		a clause head (moved from prog_io_pragma.m).

compiler/type_util.m:
	Add support for `aditi_bottom_up' and `aditi_top_down' annotations
	on higher-order types.

	Add predicates `construct_higher_order_type',
	`construct_higher_order_pred_type' and
	`construct_higher_order_func_type' to avoid some code duplication.

compiler/mode_util.m:
	Add predicate `unused_mode/1', which returns `builtin:unused'.
	Add functions `aditi_di_mode/0', `aditi_ui_mode/0' and
	`aditi_uo_mode/0' which return `in', `in', and `out', but will
	be changed to return `di', `ui' and `uo' when alias tracking
	is implemented.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Add predicate `goal_util__generic_call_vars' which returns
	any arguments to a generic_call which are not in the argument list,
	for example the closure passed to a higher-order call or
	the typeclass_info for a class method call.

compiler/llds.m:
compiler/exprn_aux.m:
compiler/dupelim.m:
compiler/llds_out.m:
compiler/opt_debug.m:
	Add builtin labels for the Aditi update operations.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Add predicate predicate_table_search_pf_sym, used for finding
	possible matches for a call with the wrong number of arguments.

compiler/intermod.m:
	Don't write predicates which build `aditi_top_down' goals,
	because there is currently no way to tell importing modules
	which RL code fragment to use.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Obey the `cannot_remove' field of explicit quantification goals.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Parse Aditi updates.

	Don't typecheck clauses for which syntax errors in Aditi updates
	are found - this avoids spurious "undefined predicate `aditi_insert/3'"
	errors.

	Factor out some common code to handle terms of the form `Head :- Body'.
	Factor out common code in the handling of pred and func expressions.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Typecheck Aditi builtins.

	Allow the argument types of matching predicates to be adjusted
	when typechecking the higher-order arguments of Aditi builtins.

	Change `typecheck__resolve_pred_overloading' to take a list of
	argument types rather than a `map(var, type)' and a list of
	arguments to allow a transformation to be performed on the
	argument types before passing them.

compiler/error_util.m:
	Move the part of `report_error_num_args' which writes
	"wrong number of arguments (<x>; expected <y>)" from
	typecheck.m for use by make_hlds.m when reporting errors
	for Aditi builtins.

compiler/modes.m:
compiler/unique_modes.m:
compiler/modecheck_call.m:
	Modecheck Aditi builtins.

compiler/lambda.m:
	Handle the markers for predicates introduced for
	`aditi_top_down' and `aditi_bottom_up' lambda expressions.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Add extra type_infos to `aditi_insert' calls
	describing the tuple to insert.

compiler/call_gen.m:
	Generate code for Aditi builtins.

compiler/unify_gen.m:
compiler/bytecode_gen.m:
	Abort on `aditi_top_down' and `aditi_bottom_up' lambda
	expressions - code generation for them is not yet implemented.

compiler/magic.m:
	Use the `aditi_call' generic_call rather than create
	a new procedure for each Aditi predicate called from C.

compiler/rl_out.pp:
compiler/rl_gen.m:
compiler/rl.m:
	Move some utility code used by magic.m and call_gen.m into rl.m.

	Remove an XXX comment about reference counting being not yet

library/ops.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
doc/transition_guide.texi:
	Add unary prefix operators `aditi_bottom_up' and `aditi_top_down',
	used as qualifiers on lambda expressions.
	Add infix operator `==>' to separate the tuples in an
	`aditi_modify' call.

compiler/follow_vars.m:
	Thread a `map(prog_var, type)' through, needed because
	type information is no longer held in higher-order call goals.

compiler/table_gen.m:
	Use the `make_*_construction' predicates in hlds_goal.m
	to construct constants.

compiler/*.m:
	Trivial changes to add extra fields to hlds_goal structures.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Document Aditi updates.

	Use @samp{pragma base_relation} instead of

tests/valid/aditi_update.m:
tests/valid/aditi.m:
	Test case.

tests/valid/Mmakefile:
	Remove some hard-coded --intermodule-optimization rules which are

tests/invalid/*.err_exp:
	Fix expected output for changes in reporting of call_ids
	in typecheck.m.

tests/invalid/Mmakefile
tests/invalid/aditi_update_errors.{m,err_exp}:

tests/invalid/aditi.m:
	Cut down version of extras/aditi/aditi.m to provide basic declarations
	for Aditi compilation such as `aditi__state' and the modes

	somewhere would remove the need for these.

6af76f74ea Move some declarations around and make some other minor changes in order
Estimated hours taken: 4

Move some declarations around and make some other minor changes in order
to reduce the number and complexity of the intermodule dependencies.
In particular, ensure that prog_data.m does not need to import
hlds*.m, purity.m, rl.m, or term_util.m.

Since we expect to have only one input language, but potentially many
different target languages, the general design principle that we have adopted
in order to minimize the number of dependencies, particularly cyclic ones,
is that modules which belong to an earlier stage of compilation should
not depend on modules which belong to a later stage of compilation.
However, that design principle has not been adhered to in many cases.
This change reduces the number of such cases.

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Move definition of the types `eval_method' and `pred_or_func'
	from hlds_pred.m to prog_data.m.
	Add new type `mode_num' to prog_data.m, defined by
	`type mode_num == int', and change the proc_id argument of
	the `unused_args' pragma to instead use this type instead of proc_id.
	Delete the import of module hlds_pred from prog_data.m.

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Move the definition of the type `determinism' from hlds_data.m to
	prog_data.m.  Delete the import of module hlds_data from prog_data.m.

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/purity.m:
	Move the definition of the type `purity' from purity.m to prog_data.m.
	Add import of module prog_data to purity.m.
	Delete the import of module purity from prog_data.m.

	This is needed because purity.m imports hlds*.m and so by
	importing purity.m, prog_data.m was indirectly importing hlds*.m.

	(An possible alternative here would be to split purity.m into two
	parts, called say purity.m and check_purity.m; of these, only the
	second would import hlds*.m.  But that would be a significantly
	more complicated change.)

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/rl.m:
	Move the definition of the `index_spec' and `index_type' types from
	rl.m to prog_data.m.  Delete the import of module rl from prog_data.m.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add new types `pragma_arg_size_info' and `pragma_termination_info'
	to prog_data.m.  These are similar to the existing types
	`arg_size_info' and `termination_info' defined in term_util.m,
	except that they correspond more directly to what is actually
	used in `pragma termination_info' declarations.

compiler/term_util.m:
	Add new predicates `add_context_to_arg_size_info' and
	`add_context_to_pragma_termination_info' for converting
	the prog_data types to their corresponding term_util types.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
compiler/unused_args.m:
	Minor modifications to handle the change in the type of the
	mode number argument in `unused_args' pragmas, and in the types
	of the arg_size_info and termination_info arguments in
	`termination_info' pragmas.

ec86c88404 Merge in the changes from the existential_types_2 branch.
Estimated hours taken: 4

Merge in the changes from the existential_types_2 branch.

This change adds support for mode re-ordering of code involving
existential types.  The change required modifying the order of the
compiler passes so that polymorphism comes before mode analysis,
so that mode analysis can check the modes of the `type_info' or
`typeclass_info' variables that polymorphism introduces, so that
it can thus re-order the code accordingly.

This change also includes some more steps towards making existential data
types work.  In particular, you should be able to declare existentially
typed data types, the compiler will generate appropriate unification
and compare/3 routines for them, and deconstruction unifications for them
should work OK.  However, currently there's no way to construct them
except via `pragam c_code', and we don't generate correct RTTI for them,
so you can't use `io__write' etc. on them.

c6812299c2 Remove support for --args simple. We don't use it, we won't use it even for
Estimated hours taken: 4.5

Remove support for --args simple. We don't use it, we won't use it even for
experiments, and it is unnecessary complication.

If anybody were using --args simple, this would need bootstrapping, but
since nobody does, there is no need, and this can be committed as an
ordinary change.

compiler/options.m:
doc/user_guide.texi:
scripts/*.in:
scripts/*.sh-subr:
	Remove the --args option.

compiler/globals.m:
	Remove the args_method global and its access predicates.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Don't set the args_method global from the option.

compiler/arg_info.m:
	Remove support for --args simple. This allows us to remove a now
	redundant argument from an exported predicate.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Remove the code for passing -DCOMPACT_ARGS to the C compiler.

compiler/bytecode_gen.m:
compiler/fact_table.m:
compiler/follow_vars.m:
compiler/live_vars.m:
compiler/call_gen.m:
	Don't pass the unnecessary argument to arg_info.

compiler/call_gen.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Remove now unnecessary assertions.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Don't include an args_method in proc_infos; instead, include
	a slot that says whether the procedure's address is taken or not.
	(In most cases, this determined whether the args_method was
	simple or compact.) We will need this bool in the near future
	(when we generate layout structures for procedures whose address
	is taken).

	Modify the signatures of exported predicates to accommodate
	this change to the data structure.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Print the new slot, not the args_method.

compiler/lambda.m:
	When creating procedures from lambdas, set the address-taken slot
	to address_is_taken instead of setting up its args_method.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Minor changes to conform to the changes in the signatures of
	the predicates exported from hlds_pred.m.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
compiler/clause_to_proc.m:
compiler/dnf.m:
compiler/magic.m:
compiler/magic_util.m:
compiler/modecheck_call.m:
compiler/pd_info.m:
compiler/post_typecheck.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Minor changes to conform to the changes in the signatures of
	the predicates exported from hlds_pred.m and make_hlds.m.

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Remove the conditional definition of the macros that provided
	an argument-method-independent way of referring to the registers
	holding the inputs and outputs of e.g. unification procedures.
	We don't need the independence anymore, and using registers instead
	of macros in the code ensures that maintainers are aware of register
	reuse issues (e.g. they copy an input from r1 before overwriting it
	with an output).

runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
runtime/mercury_grade.h:
	Remove support for the args method component of the grade.

runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
runtime/mercury_tabling.c:
library/*.m:
	Conform to the changes in runtime/mercury_type_info.h by effectively
	applying the #defines appropriate to compact args by hand.

	Remove code and data structures only needed for simple args.
	Remove comments needed only in the presence of uncertainty about
	the args method.

Estimated hours taken: 1200

Aditi compilation.

compiler/options.m:
	The documentation for these is commented out because the Aditi
	system is not currently useful to the general public.
	--aditi: enable Aditi compilation.
	--dump-rl: write the intermediate RL to `<module>.rl_dump'.
	--dump-rl-bytecode: write a text version of the bytecodes
		to `<module>.rla'
	--aditi-only: don't produce a `.c' file.
	--filenames-from-stdin: accept a list of filenames to compile
		from stdin. This is used by the query shell.
	--optimize-rl, --optimize-rl-cse, --optimize-rl-invariants,
	--optimize-rl-index, --detect-rl-streams:
		Options to control RL optimization passes.
	--aditi-user:
		Default owner of any Aditi procedures,
		defaults to $USER or "guest".
	--generate-schemas:
		write schemas for base relations to `<module>'.base_schema
		and schemas for derived relations to `<module>'.derived_schema.
		This is used by the query shell.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Handle the default for --aditi-user.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Add some Aditi pragma declarations - `aditi', `supp_magic', `context',
	`naive', `psn' (predicate semi-naive), `aditi_memo', `aditi_no_memo',
	`base_relation', `owner' and `index'.
	Separate out code to parse a predicate name and arity.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add predicates to identify Aditi procedures.
	Added markers `generate_inline' and `aditi_interface', which
	are used internally for Aditi code generation.
	Add an `owner' field to pred_infos, which is used for database
	security checks.
	Add a field to pred_infos to hold the list of indexes for a base
	relation.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Some pragmas must be exported if the corresponding predicates
	are exported, check this.
	Make sure stratification of Aditi procedures is checked.
	Predicates with a mode declaration but no type declaration
	are no longer assumed to be local.
	Set the `do_aditi_compilation' field of the module_info if there
	are any local Aditi procedures or base relations.
	Check that `--aditi' is set if Aditi compilation is required.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	Check that every Aditi predicate has an `aditi__state' argument,
	which is used to ensure sequencing of updates and that Aditi
	procedures are only called within transactions.

compiler/dnf.m:
	Changed the definition of disjunctive normal form slightly
	so that a call followed by some atomic goals not including
	any database calls is considered atomic. magic.m can handle
	this kind of goal, and it results in more efficient RL code.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
compiler/dependency_graph.m:
	Added dependency_graph__get_scc_entry_points which finds
	the procedures in an SCC which could be called from outside.
	Added a new field to the dependency_info, the
	aditi_dependency_ordering. This contains all Aditi SCCs of
	the original program, with multiple SCCs merged where
	possible to improve the effectiveness of differential evaluation
	and the low level RL optimizations.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Add a field to record whether there are any local Aditi procedures
	in the current module.
	Added versions of module_info_pred_proc_info and
	module_info_set_pred_proc_info which take a pred_proc_id,
	not a separate pred_id and proc_id.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
compiler/lambda.m:
	Make sure that predicates created for closures in Aditi procedures
	have the correct markers.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Added goal_util__switch_to_disjunction,
	goal_util__case_to_disjunct (factored out from simplify.m)
	and goal_util__if_then_else_to_disjunction. These are
	require because supplementary magic sets can't handle
	if-then-elses or switches.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Added type_is_aditi_state/1.

compiler/mode_util.m:
	Added partition_args/5 which partitions a list of arguments
	into inputs and others.

compiler/inlining.m:
	Don't inline memoed procedures.
	Don't inline Aditi procedures into non-Aditi procedures.

compiler/intermod.m:
	Handle Aditi markers.
	Clean up handling of markers which should not appear in `.opt' files.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Export a slightly different interface for use by magic.m.
	Remove explicit quantifications where possible.
	Merge multiple nested quantifications.
	Don't report infinite recursion warnings for Aditi procedures.

compiler/prog_out.m:
	Generalised the code to output a module list to write any list.

compiler/code_gen.m:
compiler/arg_info.m:
	Don't process Aditi procedures.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Call magic.m and rl_gen.m.
	Don't perform the low-level annotation passes on Aditi procedures.
	Remove calls to constraint.m - sometime soon a rewritten version
	will be called directly from deforestation.

compiler/passes_aux.m:
	Add predicates to process only non-Aditi procedures.

compiler/llds.m:
compiler/llds_out.m:
	Added new `code_addr' enum members, do_{det,semidet,nondet}_aditi_call,
	which are defined in extras/aditi/aditi.m.

compiler/call_gen.m:
	Handle generation of do_*_aditi_call.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Write the RL code for the module as a constant char array
	in the `.c' file.

compiler/term_errors.m:
compiler/error_util.m:
	Move code to describe predicates into error_util.m
	Allow the caller to explicitly add line breaks.
	Added error_util:list_to_pieces to format a list of
	strings.
	Reordered some arguments for currying.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Don't try to print clauses if there are none.

runtime/mercury_init.h:
util/mkinit.c:
scripts/c2init.in:
	Added a function `mercury__load_aditi_rl_code()' to the generated
	`<module>_init.c' file which throws all the RL code for the program
	at the database. This should be called at connection time by
	`aditi__connect'.
	Added an option `--aditi' which controls the output
	`mercury__load_aditi_rl_code()'.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Document the new files.

5c955626f2 These changes make var' and term' polymorphic.
Estimated hours taken: 20

These changes make `var' and `term' polymorphic. This allows us to make
variables and terms representing types of a different type to those
representing program terms and those representing insts.

These changes do not *fix* any existing problems (for instance
there was a messy conflation of program variables and inst variables,
and where necessary I've just called varset__init(InstVarSet) with
an XXX comment).

NEWS:
	Mention the changes to the standard library.

library/term.m:
	Make term, var and var_supply polymorphic.
	Add new predicates:
		term__generic_term/1
		term__coerce/2
		term__coerce_var/2
		term__coerce_var_supply/2

library/varset.m:
	Make varset polymorphic.
	Add the new predicate:
		varset__coerce/2

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Introduce type equivalences for the different kinds of
	vars, terms, and varsets that we use (tvar and tvarset
	were already there but have been changed to use the
	polymorphic var and term).

	Also change the various kinds of items to use the appropriate
	kinds of var/varset.

compiler/*.m:
	Thousands of boring changes to make the compiler type correct
	with the different types for type, program and inst vars and
	varsets.

3e244090d7 Rework the handling of types in higher_order.m.
Estimated hours taken: 50

Rework the handling of types in higher_order.m.
- Fix bugs in higher_order.m that stopped it working with --typeinfo-liveness.
- Perform type and typeclass specialisation.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Previously the type of typeclass_infos variables did not contain
	any information about the constraint about which the variable contains
	information. Now the type of a typeclass_info is
	`private_builtin:typeclass_info(
		private_builtin:constraint([ClassName, ConstrainedTypes]))'.
	This allows predicates such as type_list_subsumes to check that
	the class constraints match.
	Note that `private_builtin:constraint' has no declaration, so
	a lookup in the type definition map will fail. That's OK, because
	type_to_type_id will fail on it, so it will be treated as a type
	variable by any code which doesn't manipulate types directly.
	Added polymorphism__typeclass_info_class_constraint to get the
	class_constraint from a typeclass_info's type. This isn't used yet.

	Also, fix a bug in extract_type_info: an entry in the typeinfo_var_map
	was being overwritten using an entry from a dummy typevarset. Actually
	the optimization to overwrite the location of the type_info after
	extracting it from a typeclass_info was wrong because the type_info
	won't be in that location in other branches.

compiler/higher_order.m:
	Rework the handling of type substitutions. Now the types of the
	called procedure are `inlined' into the calling procedure, rather
	than building up the types of the specialised version using the
	higher-order arguments. The advantage of this is that the code is
	a bit simpler and handles extra type_infos properly. The disadvantage
	is that the argument types for specialised versions may be more
	specific than they need to be, so in some cases more specialised
	versions will be created than before.
	Also, don't actually rebuild the higher-order terms in the specialised
	versions - just pass the terms through in case they are needed.
	Handle the extra typeinfos required for --typeinfo-liveness.
	Specialize calls to unify/2, index/2 and compare/3.
	Specialize class_method_calls.
	Specialize calls to the predicates in private_builtin.m which
	manipulate typeclass_infos.

compiler/type_util.m:
	type_to_type_id now fails on the dummy `constraint' type.
	Remove typeinfos for non-variable types from the typeinfo_varmap
	after inlining and higher-order specialisation.

compiler/inlining.m:
	Factor out some common code to handle type substitutions
	for use by higher_order.m.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Return the list of extra type_info variables added to the
	argument list.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Take a set of non-locals as an argument to
	goal_util__extra_nonlocal_typeinfos rather than extracting
	them from a goal.

compiler/special_pred.m:
	Handle unmangled unify/compare/index in special_pred_get_type.

compiler/base_type_layout.m:
	Don't generate references to the typeinfo for
	`private_builtin:constraint' - it doesn't exist.

compiler/unused_args.m:
	Don't barf on specialised unification predicate names.

compiler/options.m:
	Added options:
	`--type-specialization' (default off).
	`--higher-order-size-limit' - restrict the size of specialized
		versions produced by higher_order.m.
	`--disable-opt-for-trace' (default on) - where possible don't
		change the options to make the trace match the source code.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Don't disable higher_order.m when --typeinfo-liveness is set.
	Handle `--disable-opt-for-trace'.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
compiler/*.m:
	Add the instance number to `base_typeclass_info_const' cons_ids,
	so that higher_order.m can easily index into the list of instances
	for a class to find the methods.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Use the correct varset when printing out the constraint proofs.
	Write the typeclass_info_varmap for each procedure.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Print type variables with variable numbers.

library/private_builtin.m:
	Add the argument to the typeclass_info type to hold the representation
	of the constraint.

runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
	Semidet and nondet class_method_calls where
	(0 < num_arg_typeclass_infos < 4) were aborting at runtime
	because arguments were being placed starting at r1 rather
	than at r(1 + num_arg_typeclass_infos).

doc/user_guide.texi
	Document the new options.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Update the role of higher_order.m.

tests/hard_coded/typeclasses/extra_typeinfo.m:
	Test case for the mercury_ho_call.c bug and the polymorphism.m
	extract_typeinfo bug and for updating the typeclass_info_varmap
	for specialised versions.

6455e041cb Merge in the changes from the existential types branch,
Estimated hours taken: 6
	(plus another 80 or so already recorded for
	my commits on the existential_types branch)

Merge in the changes from the existential types branch,
and make some modifications to address dgj's code review comments.

These changes add support for existentially quantified type variables
and type class constraints on functions and predicates.
(Existential data types, however, are not supported -- see below.)

Existentially quantified type variables are introduced with
an explicit `some [T]', e.g. `:- some [T] pred foo(T)'.
Existentially quantified type class constraints are introduced
with `&' instead of `<=', e.g. `:- some [T] (pred foo(T) & ord(T))'.

There's still several limitations:

0.  XXX It's not yet documented in the language reference manual.

1.  XXX It doesn't do any mode checking or mode reordering.
    If you write code that uses existentially typed procedures in the
    wrong order, then you'll get an internal error in polymorphism.m
    or in the code generator.  (Cases where a type_info has no
    producer at all are caught by the check for unbound type
    variables in post_typecheck.m.)

    To support this, we need to change things so that polymorphism.m
    gets invoked before mode checking.

2.  Using `in' modes on arguments of existential type won't work.
    If you try, you will get a compile error.

    It would be nice to extend things to allow this kind of
    "implied mode" for type_infos, where an existential type
    becomes a universal type if some value of that type is
    input.  Supporting this would require first fixing
    limitation 1 (described above) and then

3.  There's no support for `pragma c_code' for procedures
    with existential type class constraints.
    (In fact, there's not really any support for `pragma c_code'
    for procedures with universal type class constraints either --
    the C code has no way of getting access to the type class info.)

4.  XXX Taking the address of something which is existentially typed
    should be illegal, but we don't check this.

In addition, these changes in this batch make a start towards allowing
existentially typed data types.  The compiler now accepts existential
quantifiers and type class constraints on type definitions, and type
checks them accordingly (assuming all functor occurrences are
deconstructors, not constructors -- see limitation 2 above).  But
there's no special handling for them in polymorphism.m, so if you try
to use them, it will abort with an internal error.

The changes also includes fixes for a couple of bugs in typechecking
and polymorphism that I discovered while making the above changes,
and an improvement to the error reporting from typecheck.m in one case.
Those changes are listed separately below.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add a new type `class_constraints', which holds two different
	lists of constraints, namely the existentially quantified constraints
	and the universally quantified ones.
	Add a new field to the parse tree representation of pred and
	func declarations to hold a list of the existentially quantified
	type variables, and change the `list(class_constraint)' into
	`class_constraints' so that we can store existential constraints too.
	Add new fields to the `constructor' data type (formerly just a pair)
	to hold the existentially quantified type variables and
	type class constraints.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add several new fields to the pred_info:
	  - a list of the existentially quantified type variables;
	  - a list of the "HeadTypeParams": type variables which
	    cannot be bound by this predicate (i.e. those whose type_infos
	    come from this pred's caller or are returned from
	    other preds called by this one);
	  - and a list of unsatisfied type class constraints.
	Add a predicate pred_info_get_univ_quant_tvars to compute the
	universally quantified type variables.
	Change the pred constraints field from `list(class_constraint)'
	to `class_constraints' so that it can hold existential constraints too.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add new fields to hlds_cons_defn to hold the existentially
	quantified type variables and type class constraints.

compiler/*.m:
	Minor changes to reflect the above-mentioned data structure
	changes in prog_data.m, hlds_pred.m, and hlds_data.m.

compiler/prog_io.m:
	Add code to parse the new constructs.

	Also rewrite the code for parsing purity specifiers,
	type quantifiers and type class constraints, using basically
	the method suggested by Peter Schachte: treat these as
	"declaration attributes", and have parse_decl strip off
	all the declaration attributes into a seperate list and
	then pass that list to process_decl, which for each different
	kind of declaration processes the attributes which are
	appropriate for that declaration and then calls check_no_attributes
	to ensure that there were no inappropriate attributes.

	The purpose of this rewrite was to allow it to handle the new
	constructs properly, and to avoid unnecessary code duplication.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Add code to pretty-print the new constructs.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Copy the new fields in the parse tree into the
	corresponding new fields in the pred_info.
	Add code to check for various misuses of quantifiers.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Print out the new fields in the pred_info (except the
	unsatisfied type class constraints -- if these are non-empty,
	post_typecheck.m will print them out in the error message).
	When printing out types, pass the AppendVarNums parameter down,
	so that HLDS dumps will distinguish between different type
	variables that have the same name.
	Delete hlds_out__write_constructor, since it was doing exactly
	the same thing as mercury__output_ctor.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Lots of changes to handle existential types and existential
	type class constraints.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	When checking for unbound type variables,
	use the value of HeadTypeParams from the pred_info.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Delete `type_and_constraint_list_matches_exactly', since it was not
	used.  Add various `apply_variable_renaming_to_*' predicates for
	renaming constraints.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Lots of changes to handle existential types and existential
	type class constraints.
	Also some changes to make the code more maintainable:

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Put curly braces around the definitions of 'some'/2 and '&'/2 functors
	in `:- type' definitions, to avoid them being misinterpreted as
	existential type constraints.

compiler/goal_util.m:
compiler/polymorphism.m:
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/lambda.m:
	Include type_infos for existentially quantified type variables
	and type_class_infos for existential constraints
	in the set of extra variables computed by
	goal_util__extra_type_info_vars.

compiler/inlining.m:
	Change inlining__do_goal to handle inlining of calls to
	existentially typed predicates -- for them, instead of not
	binding any type variables at all in the caller, it allows the
	call to bind any type variables in the caller except for those
	that are universally quantified.

compiler/inlining.m:
compiler/deforest.m:
	Call pred_info_get_univ_quant_tvars and pass the
	result to inlining__do_inline_goal.

	Test cases for the use of existential types and
	existential type class constraints.

----------

Improve an error message.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Improve error reporting by checking type class constraints for
	satisfiability as we go and thus reporting unsatisfiable constraints
	as soon as possible, rather than only at the end of the clause.
	Previously we already did that for the case of ground constraints,
	but they are not the only unsatsfiable constraints: constraints
	on head type params (type variables which cannot be bound) are
	also unsatisfiable if they can't be eliminated straight away
	by context reduction.

tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
tests/invalid/typeclass_test_7.{m,err_exp}:
	Regression test for the above change.

----------

Avoid problems where type inference was reporting some
spurious errors for predicates using type classes,
because the check for unsatisfied type class constraints
was being done before the final pass of type inference
had finished.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add new field to the pred_info containing the unproven
	type class constraints.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	When inferring type class constraints, make sure that before
	we save the results back in the pred_info, we restrict the
	constraints to the head type variables.  Constraints
	on other type variables should be treated as
	unsatisfied constraints.

	Don't check for unsatisfied type class constraints at the
	end of each pass; instead, just save the unproven type class
	constraints in the pred_info.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	Check for unsatisfied type class constraints, using
	the new field in the pred_info.

tests/hard_coded/typeclasses/Mmakefile:
tests/hard_coded/typeclasses/inference_test_2.{m,exp}:
tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
tests/invalid/typeclass_test_8.{m,err_exp}:
	Add regression tests for this change.

----------

Fix a bug with the computation of the non-locals for
predicates with more than one constraint on the same type variable --
it was only including one of the type-class-infos, rather than all of them.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Change `goal_util__extra_nonlocal_typeinfos' so that it gets
	passed the TypeClassInfoVarMap and uses this to include all
	the appropriate typeclass infos in the extra nonlocals.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/lambda.m:
compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Pass the TypeClassInfoVarMap to `goal_util__extra_nonlocal_typeinfos'.

        changes that found their way into the repository.

        Add init_thread_stuff for creating and initializing a
        context structure for the current thread.

75354e38bb Deforestation.
Estimated hours taken: 400

Deforestation.

This increases the code size of the compiler by ~80k when compiling
with --intermodule-optimization --deforestation.

The improvement from deforestation is not measurable for mmc -C make_hlds.m.
Compile time for make_hlds.m increased from 50.7 seconds to 52.2 seconds
when running deforestation.

compiler/simplify.m
compiler/common.m
	Provide a nicer interface for simplifying a goal,
	not an entire procedure.
	Rework the interface to avoid manipulating lots of booleans.
	Return an estimate of the improvement in cost from simplification.
	Remove failing cases and disjuncts.
	Add an option to optimize common structures even across calls.
	Remove code to merge branched goals, since that is now
	done by deforestation.

	Fix a bug: the code to collect instmap_deltas for cases was not
	including the switched-on variable in the instmap_delta,
	which caused an abort in merge_instmap_delta if the switched
	on variable was further instantiated in the switch.
	This came up while compiling the compiler with --deforestation.

compiler/det_report.
	Output duplicate call warnings even if --warn-simple-code is not set.
	XXX fix the same problem with `:- pragma obsolete'.

compiler/code_aux.m
	Update code_aux__cannot_loop to use termination information.

compiler/hlds_pred.m
compiler/dnf.m
	Pass the type_info_varmap and typeclass_info_varmap
	into hlds_pred__define_new_pred.
	Restrict the variables of the new procedure onto the variables
	of the goal.
	Make sure all relevant type_infos are passed into the new
	procedure if --typeinfo-liveness is set.

compiler/modes.m
compiler/unique_modes.m
compiler/mode_info.m
compiler/modecheck_unify.m
	Put `how_to_check_goal' into the mode_info, rather
	than passing it around.
	Add a field to the `check_unique_modes' case which
	controls whether unique modes is allowed to choose
	a different procedure. For deforestation, this is
	not allowed, since it could result in choosing a less
	efficient procedure after generalisation.

compiler/options.m
	New options:
	--deforestation
	--deforestation-depth-limit
		Safety net for termination of the algorithm.
	--deforestation-cost-factor
		Fudge factor for working out whether deforestation
		was worthwhile.
	--deforestation-vars-threshold
		Like --inline-vars-threshold.
	Enable deforestation at -O3.

	Removed an unnecessary mode for option_defaults_2, since it
	resulted in a warning about disjuncts which cannot succeed.

compiler/handle_options.m
	--no-reorder-conj implies --no-deforestation.

compiler/inlining.m
	Separate code to rename goals into inlining__do_inline_call.

compiler/hlds_goal.m
	Added predicates goal_list_nonlocals, goal_list_instmap_delta
	and goal_list_determinism to approximate information about
	conjunctions.

compiler/hlds_module.m
	Added module_info_set_pred_proc_info to put an updated
	pred_info and proc_info back into the module_info.

compiler/hlds_out.m
	Exported hlds_out__write_instmap for debugging of deforestation.
	Bracket module names on constructors where necessary.

compiler/mercury_compile.m
	Call deforestation.
	Use the new interface to simplify.m.

compiler/intermod.m
	Put recursive predicates with a top-level branched goal
	into `.opt' files.

goal_util.m
	Added goal_calls_pred_id to work out if a predicate is
	recursive before mode analysis.
	Export goal_util__goals_goal_vars for use by deforestation.
	Give a better message for a missing variable in a substitution.

compiler/instmap.m
	Give a better message for inst_merge failing.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.m
	Document the new modules.

library/varset.m
	Add varset__select to project a varset's names and values
	onto a set of variables.

doc/user_guide.texi
	Document deforestation.
	Remove a reference to a non-existent option, --no-specialize.

util/mdemangle.c
profiler/demangle.m
tests/misc_tests/mdemangle_test.{exp,inp}
	Handle the `DeforestationIn__' predicate names introduced by
	deforestation, similar to the `IntroducedFrom__' for lambda goals.

New files:

deforest.m	Deforestation.
pd_cost.m	Cost estimation.
pd_debug.m	Debugging output.
pd_info.m	State type and version control.
pd_term.m	Termination checking.
pd_util.m	Utility predicates

11d8161692 Add support for nested modules.
Estimated hours taken: 50

Add support for nested modules.

- module names may themselves be module-qualified
- modules may contain `:- include_module' declarations
  which name sub-modules
- a sub-module has access to all the declarations in the
  parent module (including its implementation section).

This support is not yet complete; see the BUGS and LIMITATIONS below.

LIMITATIONS
- source file names must match module names
	(just as they did previously)
- mmc doesn't allow path names on the command line any more
	(e.g. `mmc --make-int ../library/foo.m').
- import_module declarations must use the fully-qualified module name
- module qualifiers must use the fully-qualified module name
- no support for root-qualified module names
	(e.g. `:parent:child' instead of `parent:child').
- modules may not be physically nested (only logical nesting, via
  `include_module').

BUGS
- doesn't check that the parent module is imported/used before allowing
	import/use of its sub-modules.
- doesn't check that there is an include_module declaration in the
	parent for each module claiming to be a child of that parent
- privacy of private modules is not enforced

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

NEWS:
	Mention that we support nested modules.

library/ops.m:
library/nc_builtin.nl:
library/sp_builtin.nl:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Add `include_module' as a new prefix operator.
	Change the associativity of `:' from xfy to yfx
	(since this made parsing module qualifiers slightly easier).

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add new `include_module' declaration.
	Change the `module_name' and `module_specifier' types
	from strings to sym_names, so that module names can
	themselves be module qualified.

compiler/modules.m:
	Add predicates module_name_to_file_name/2 and
	file_name_to_module_name/2.
	Lots of changes to handle parent module dependencies,
	to create parent interface (`.int0') files, to read them in,
	to output correct dependencies information for them to the
	`.d' and `.dep' files, etc.
	Rewrite a lot of the code to improve the readability
	(add comments, use subroutines, better variable names).
	Also fix a couple of bugs:
	- generate_dependencies was using the transitive implementation
	  dependencies rather than the transitive interface dependencies
	  to compute the `.int3' dependencies when writing `.d' files
	  (this bug was introduced during crs's changes to support
	  `.trans_opt' files)
	- when creating the `.int' file, it was reading in the
	  interfaces for modules imported in the implementation section,
	  not just those in the interface section.
	  This meant that the compiler missed a lot of errors.

library/graph.m:
library/lexer.m:
library/term.m:
library/term_io.m:
library/varset.m:
compiler/*.m:
	Add `:- import_module' declarations to the interface needed
	by declarations in the interface.  (The previous version
	of the compiler did not detect these missing interface imports,
	due to the above-mentioned bug in modules.m.)

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/intermod.m:
	Change mercury_compile__maybe_grab_optfiles and
	intermod__grab_optfiles so that they grab the opt files for
	parent modules as well as the ones for imported modules.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Minor changes to handle parent module dependencies.
	(Also improve the wording of the warning about trans-opt
	dependencies.)

compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/module_qual.m:
	Ignore `:- include_module' declarations.

compiler/module_qual.m:
	A couple of small changes to handle nested module names.

compiler/prog_out.m:
compiler/prog_util.m:
	Add new predicates string_to_sym_name/3 (prog_util.m) and
	sym_name_to_string/{2,3} (prog_out.m).

compiler/*.m:
	Replace many occurrences of `string' with `module_name'.
	Change code that prints out module names or converts
	them to strings or filenames to handle the fact that
	module names are now sym_names intead of strings.
	Also change a few places (e.g. in intermod.m, hlds_module.m)
	where the code assumed that any qualified symbol was
	fully-qualified.

compiler/prog_io.m:
compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
	Move sym_name_and_args/3, parse_qualified_term/4 and
	parse_qualified_term/5 preds from prog_io_goal.m to prog_io.m,
	since they are very similar to the parse_symbol_name/2 predicate
	already in prog_io.m.  Rewrite these predicates, both
	to improve maintainability, and to handle the newly
	allowed syntax (module-qualified module names).
	Rename parse_qualified_term/5 as `parse_implicit_qualified_term'.

compiler/prog_io.m:
	Rewrite the handling of `:- module' and `:- end_module'
	declarations, so that it can handle nested modules.
	Add code to parse `include_module' declarations.

compiler/prog_util.m:
compiler/*.m:
	Add new predicates mercury_public_builtin_module/1 and
	mercury_private_builtin_module/1 in prog_util.m.
	Change most of the hard-coded occurrences of "mercury_builtin"
	to call mercury_private_builtin_module/1 or
	mercury_public_builtin_module/1 or both.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Add llds_out__sym_name_mangle/2, for mangling module names.

compiler/special_pred.m:
compiler/mode_util.m:
compiler/clause_to_proc.m:
compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
compiler/lambda.m:
compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Move the predicates in_mode/1, out_mode/1, and uo_mode/1
	from special_pred.m to mode_util.m, and change various
	hard-coded definitions to instead call these predicates.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Ensure that the type names `type_info' and `typeclass_info' are
	module-qualified in the generated code.  This avoids a problem
	where the code generated by polymorphism.m was not considered
	type-correct, due to the type `type_info' not matching
	`mercury_builtin:type_info'.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	Simplify the code for check_instance_pred and
	get_matching_instance_pred_ids.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/modules.m:
	Disallow directory names in command-line arguments.

compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/modules.m:
	Add a `--make-private-interface' option.
	The private interface file `<module>.int0' contains
	all the declarations in the module; it is used for
	compiling sub-modules.

scripts/Mmake.rules:
scripts/Mmake.vars.in:
	Add support for creating `.int0' and `.date0' files
	by invoking mmc with `--make-private-interface'.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document `--make-private-interface' and the `.int0'
	and `.date0' file extensions.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Document nested modules.

util/mdemangle.c:
profiler/demangle.m:
	Demangle names with multiple module qualifiers.

tests/general/Mmakefile:
tests/general/string_format_test.m:
tests/general/string_format_test.exp:
tests/general/string__format_test.m:
tests/general/string__format_test.exp:
tests/general/.cvsignore:
	Change the `:- module string__format_test' declaration in
	`string__format_test.m' to `:- module string_format_test',
	because with the original declaration the `__' was taken
	as a module qualifier, which lead to an error message.
	Hence rename the file accordingly, to avoid the warning
	about file name not matching module name.

tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
tests/invalid/missing_interface_import.m:
tests/invalid/missing_interface_import.err_exp:
	Regression test to check that the compiler reports
	errors for missing `import_module' in the interface section.

tests/invalid/*.err_exp:
tests/warnings/unused_args_test.exp:
tests/warnings/unused_import.exp:
	Update the expected diagnostics output for the test cases to
	reflect a few minor changes to the warning messages.

tests/hard_coded/Mmakefile:
tests/hard_coded/parent.m:
tests/hard_coded/parent.child.m:
tests/hard_coded/parent.exp:
tests/hard_coded/parent2.m:
tests/hard_coded/parent2.child.m:
tests/hard_coded/parent2.exp:

d0085d8119 Assorted changes to make the HLDS type and mode correct
Estimated hours taken: 45

Assorted changes to make the HLDS type and mode correct
after lambda expansion. The HLDS is still not unique mode
correct after common structure elimination.

compiler/det_analysis.m
	Make sure the inferred_determinism field of the proc_info is filled
	in correctly for imported procedures and class methods.

compiler/mode_util.m
	Fix a bug in recompute_instmap_delta_call to do with unreachable
	instmaps. This caused an abort a couple of months ago when
	compiling with --deforestation (not yet committed), but
	can't currently be reproduced.

compiler/hlds_pred.m
compiler/lambda.m
	Add a field to the proc_info to record which args_method
	should be used for this procedure. Procedures directly
	called by do_call_*_closure must be compiled with
	the `compact' argument convention to avoid the need to permute
	the arguments so inputs come before outputs.

compiler/lambda.m
compiler/higher_order.m
	Remove permutation of argument variables of lambda expressions
	so the HLDS is type and mode correct and mode analysis can
	be rerun. Otherwise, rerunning mode analysis will fail on
	tests/hard_coded/ho_order.m.

compiler/arg_info.m
	Added arg_info__ho_call_args_method which returns
	an args_method which can always be directly called by
	do_call_*_closure (`compact').
	Added arg_info__args_method_is_ho_callable to check that
	a given args_method can be directly called.

compiler/unify_gen.m
	Abort if a closure is created for a procedure compiled
	with the simple argument convention.

compiler/hlds_goal.m
compiler/lambda.m
	Mode analysis was not storing the non-locals list on which the
	uni_modes field of the construction of a lambda goal was computed.
	If the nonlocals were renamed, the sort order could change, and
	the non-locals could be incorrectly matched with the arguments
	of the introduced lambda expression, causing a mode error. The
	argument list is now stored.
	This caused rerunning mode-checking on tests/valid/lazy_list.m
	after polymorphism to fail.

compiler/*.m
	Fill in the args_method field of proc_infos with the value
	from the globals.
	Handle the extra argument to the lambda_goal unify_rhs.

compiler/follow_vars.m
	Remove code to handle complicated unifications, since
	they should be removed by polymorphism.m.

compiler/special_pred.m
library/mercury_builtin.m
	Make the uniqueness of the comparison_result argument
	of builtin_compare_* and the automatically generated
	comparison procedures match that of compare/3. Unique mode
	errors will still be introduced if polymorphism.m specializes
	calls to any of the unique modes of compare/3 and then mode analysis
	is rerun, since the compiler-generated comparison procedures
	only implement the (uo, in, in) mode. (This is not yet a problem
	because currently we don't rerun mode analysis.)

runtime/mercury_ho_call.c
	Remove code in do_call_*_closure to deal with the
	`simple' args_method. Since the output arguments no longer
	need to be moved, the closure call is now a tailcall.
	Remove some magic numbers.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m
	Avoid some aborts and mode errors when rerunning mode analysis,
	especially those resulting from not_reached insts being treated
	as bound.
	Avoid aborting on higher-order predicate constants with multiple
	modes if lambda expansion has already been run.

tests/valid/higher_order.m
        Add a test case for an abort in mode analysis when
	compiling with --deforestation (not yet committed),
	due to a predicate constant for a procedure with multiple
	modes.

tests/valid/unreachable_code.m
	Add a test case for bogus higher-order unification
	mode errors in unreachable code.

31a9c3a10a Fix a bug that caused bootcheck to fail at `-O4 --intermodule-optimization'.
Estimated hours taken: 8

Fix a bug that caused bootcheck to fail at `-O4 --intermodule-optimization'.

compiler/higher_order.m:
	When doing type substitutions to specialize the types during
	specialization of higher-order calls, make sure that we
	permute the argument types of the caller based on the modes,
	with all input arguments preceding all output arguments,
	because lambda.m has already done this for the argument types
	of the callee.

compiler/lambda.m:
	Change the type of lambda__permute_argvars to be polymorphic,
	so that it can be used to permute types as well as permuting
	variables.

5013dd9c76 Implement nondet pragma C codes.
Estimated hours taken: 40

Implement nondet pragma C codes.

runtime/mercury_stacks.h:
	Define a new macro, mkpragmaframe, for use in the implementation
	of nondet pragma C codes. This new macro includes space for a
	struct with a given sruct tag in the nondet stack frame being created.

compiler/{prog_data.m,hlds_goal.m}:
	Revise the representation of pragma C codes, both as the item and
	in the HLDS.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Parse nondet pragma C declarations.

	Fix the indentation in some places.

compiler/llds.m:
	Include an extra argument in mkframe instructions. This extra argument
	gives the details of the C structure (if any) to be included in the
	nondet stack frame to be created.

	Generalize the LLDS representation of pragma C codes. Instead of a
	fixed sequence of <assign from inputs, user c code, assign to outputs>,
	let the sequence contain these elements, as well as arbitrary
	compiler-generated C code, in any order and possibly with repetitions.
	This flexibility is needed for nondet pragma C codes.

	Add a field to pragma C codes to say whether they can call Mercury.
	Some optimizations can do a better job if they know that a pragma C
	code cannot call Mercury.

	Add another field to pragma C codes to give the name of the label
	they refer to (if any). This is needed to prevent labelopt from
	incorrectly optimizing away the label definition.

	Add a new alternative to the type pragma_c_decl, to describe the
	declaration of the local variable that points to the save struct.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Output mkframe instructions that specify a struct as invoking the new
	mkpragmaframe macro, and make sure that the struct is declared just
	before the procedure that uses it.

	Other minor changes to keep up with the changes to the representation
	of pragma C code in the LLDS, and to make the output look a bit nicer.

compiler/pragma_c_gen.m:
	Add code to generate code for nondet pragma C codes. Revise the utility
	predicates and their data structures a bit to make this possible.

compiler/code_gen.m:
	Add code for the necessary special handling of prologs and epilogs
	of procedures defined by nondet pragma C codes. The prologs need
	to be modified to include a programmer-defined C structure in the
	nondet stack frame and to communicate the location of this structure
	to the pragma C code, whereas the functionality of the epilog is
	taken care of by the pragma C code itself.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	When creating a proc_info for a procedure defined by a pragma C code,
	we used to insert unifications between the headvars and the vars of
	the pragma C code into the body goal. We now perform substitutions
	instead. This removes a factor that would complicate the generation
	of code for nondet pragma C codes.

	Pass a moduleinfo down the procedures that warn about singletons
	(and other basic scope errors). When checking whether to warn about
	an argument of a pragma C code not being mentioned in the C code
	fragment, we need to know whether the argument is input or output,
	since input variables should appear in some code fragments in a
	nondet pragma C code and must not appear in others. The
	mode_is_{in,out}put checks need the moduleinfo.

	(We do not need to check for any variables being mentioned where
	they shouldn't be. The C compiler will fail in the presence of any
	errors of that type, and since those variables could be referred
	to via macros whose definitions we do not see, we couldn't implement
	a reliable test anyway.)

compiler/opt_util.m:
	Recognize that some sorts of pragma_c codes cannot affect the data
	structures that control backtracking. This allows peepholing to
	do a better job on code sequences produced for nondet pragma C codes.

	Recognize that the C code strings inside some pragma_c codes refer to
	other labels in the procedure. This prevents labelopt from incorrectly
	optimizing away these labels.

compiler/dupelim.m:
	If a label is referred to from within a C code string, then do not
	attempt to optimize it away.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Remove a now incorrect part of an error message.

compiler/*.m:
	Minor changes to conform to changes to the HLDS and LLDS data
	structures.

b4813457c9 A rewrite of termination analysis to make it significantly easier to modify,
Estimated hours taken: 60

A rewrite of termination analysis to make it significantly easier to modify,
and to extend its capabilities.

compiler/error_util.m:
	A new file containing code that makes it easier to generate
	nicely formatted error messages.

compiler/termination.m:
	Updates to reflect the changes to the representation of termination
	information.

	Instead of doing pass 1 on all SCCs and then pass 2 on all SCCs,
	we now do both pass 1 and 2 on an SCC before moving on to the next.

	Do not insist that either all procedures in an SCC are
	compiler-generated or all are user-written, since this need not be
	true in the presence of user-defined equality predicates.

	Clarify the structure of the code that handles builtins and compiler
	generated predicates.

	Concentrate all the code for updating module_infos in this module.
	Previously it was scattered in several places in several files.

	Put all the code for writing out termination information at the
	end of the module in a logical order.

compiler/term_traversal.m:
	A new file containing code used by both pass 1 and pass 2 to
	traverse procedure bodies.

compiler/term_pass1.m:
	Use the new traversal module.

	Clarify the fixpoint computation on the set of output supplier
	arguments.

	Remove duplicates from the list of equations given to the solver.
	This avoids a det stack overflow in lp.m when doing termination
	analysis on options.m.

	If an output argument of a predicate makes sense only in the absence
	of errors, then return it only in the absence of errors.

compiler/term_pass2.m:
	Use the new traversal module. Unlike the previous code, this allows us
	to ignore recursive calls with input arguments bigger than the head
	if those calls occur after goals that cannot succeed (since those
	calls will never be reached).

	Implement a better way of doing single argument analysis, which
	(unlike the previous version) works in the presence of mutual recursion
	and other calls between the recursive call and the start of the clause.

	Implement a more precise way of checking for recursions that don't
	cause termination problems. We now allow calls from p to q in which
	the recursive input supplier arguments can grow, provided that on
	any path on which q can call p, directly or indirectly, the recursive
	input supplier arguments shrink by a greater amount.

	If an output argument of a predicate makes sense only in the absence
	of errors, then return it only in the absence of errors.

compiler/term_util.m:
	Updates to reflect the changes to the representation of termination
	information.

	Reorder to put related code together.

	Change the interface of several predicates to better reflect the
	way they are used.

	Add some more utility predicates.

compiler/term_errors.m:
	Small changes to the set of possible errors, and major changes in
	the way the messages are printed out (we now use error_util).

compiler/options.m:
	Change --term-single-arg from being a bool to an int option,
	whose value indicates the maximum size of an SCC in which we try
	single argument analysis. (Large SCCs can cause single-arg analysis
	to require a lot of iterations.)

	Add an (int) option that controls the max number of paths
	that we are willing to analyze (analyzing too many paths can cause
	det stack overflow).

	Add an (int) option that controls the max number of causes of
	nontermination that we print out.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Use two separate slots in the proc_info to hold argument size data
	and termination info, instead of the single slot used until now.
	The two kinds of information are produced and used separately.

	Make the layout of the get and set procedures for proc_infos more
	regular, to facilitate later updates.

	The procedures proc_info_{,set_}variables did the same work as
	proc_info_{,set_}varset. To eliminate potential confusion, I
	removed the first set.

	Change proc_info_{,set_}variables to proc_info_{,set_}varset.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Change the code to handle the arg size data and the termination

	group the arg size data together with the output supplier data,
	to which it is logically connected.

7406335105 This change implements typeclasses. Included are the necessary changes to
Estimated hours taken: 500 or so

This change implements typeclasses. Included are the necessary changes to
the compiler, runtime and library.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Typecheck the constraints on a pred by adding constraints for each
	call to a pred/func with constraints, and eliminating constraints
	by applying context reduction.

	While reducing the constraints, keep track of the proofs so that
	polymorphism can produce the tyepclass_infos for eliminated
	constraints.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Perform the source-to-source transformation which turns code with
	typeclass constraints into code without constraints, but with extra
	"typeclass_info", or "dictionary" parameters.

	Also, rather than always having a type_info directly for each type
	variable, sometimes the type_info is hidden inside a typeclass_info.

compiler/bytecode*.m:
	Insert some code to abort if bytecode generation is used when
	typeclasses are used.
compiler/call_gen.m:
	Generate code for a class_method_call, which forms the body of a class
	method (by selecting the appropriate proc from the typeclass_info).
compiler/dead_proc_elim.m:
	Don't eliminate class methods if they are potentially used outside
	the module
compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Define data types to store:
		- the typeclass definitions
		- the instances of a class
		- "constraint_proof". ie. the proofs of redundancy of a
		  constraint. This info is used by polymorphism to construct the
		  typeclass_infos for a constraint.
		- the "base_tyepclass_info_constant", which is analagous the
		  the base_type_info_constant
compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Define the class_method_call goal. This goal is inserted into the
	body of class method procs, and is responsible for selecting the
	appropriate part of the typeclass_info to call.
compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add the class table and instance table to the module_info.
compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Output info about base_typeclass_infos and class_method_calls
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Change the representation of the locations of type_infos from "var"
	to type_info_locn, which is either a var, or part of a typeclass_info,
	since now the typeclass_infos contain the type_infos for the type that
	they constrain.

	Add constraints to the pred_info.

	Add constraint_proofs to the pred_info (so that typeclass.m can
	annotate the pred_info with the reasons that constraints were
	eliminated, so that polymorphism.m can in turn generate the
	typeclass_infos for the constraints).

	Add the "class_method" marker.

compiler/lambda.m:
	A feable attempt at adding class ontexts to lambda expressions,
	untested and almost certainly not working.
compiler/llds_out.m:
	Output the code addresses for do_*det_class_method, and output
	appropriately mangled symbol names for base_typeclass_infos.
compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Add constraints to the types on pred and func decls, and add
	class and instance declarations to the class_table and instance_table
	respectively.
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Add the check_typeclass pass.
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Output constraints of pred and funcs, and output typeclass and instance
	declarations.
compiler/module_qual.m:
	Module qualify typeclass names in pred class contexts, and qualify the
	typeclass and instance decls themselves.
compiler/modules.m:
	Output typeclass declarations in the short interface too.
compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add the "typeclass" and "instance" items. Define the types to store
	information about the declarations, including class contexts on pred
	and func decls.
compiler/prog_io.m:
	Parse constraints on pred and func declarations.
compiler/prod_out.m:
	Output class contexts on pred and func decls.
compiler/type_util.m:
	Add preds to apply a substitution to a class_constraint, and to
	a list of class constraints. Add type_list_matches_exactly/2. Also
	add typeclass_info and base_typeclass_info as types which should not
	be optimised as no_tag types (seeing that we cheat a bit about their
	representation).
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Add notes on module qualification of class contexts. Needs expansion
	to include more stuff on typeclasses.
compiler/*.m:
	Various minor changes.

New Files:
compiler/base_typeclass_info.m:
	Produce one base_typeclass_info for each instance declaration.
compiler/prog_io_typeclass.m:
	Parse typeclass and instance declarations.
compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	Check the conformance of an instance declaration to the typeclass
	declaration, including building up a proof of how superclass
	constraints are satisfied so that polymorphism.m is able to construct
	the typeclass_info, including the superclass typeclass_infos.

library/mercury_builtin.m:
	Implement that base_typeclass_info and typeclass_info types, as
	well as the predicates type_info_from_typeclass_info/3 to extract
	a type_info from a typeclass_info, and superclass_from_typeclass_info/3
	for extracting superclasses.
library/ops.m:
	Add "typeclass" and "instance" as operators.
library/string.m:
	Add a (in, uo) mode for string__length/3.

runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
	Implement do_call_*det_class_method, which are the pieces of code
	responsible for extracting the correct code address from the
	typeclass_info, setting up the arguments correctly, then executing
	the code.
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Macros for accessing the typeclass_info structure.

Clean up the handling of predicate markers (flags).

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Delete the `marker_status' type.  It was just adding complexity
	which wasn't being used.
	Change the "markers list" field of the pred_info from a
	list(marker_status) to an abstract data type representing
	a set of markers.
	Add new access predicates for this ADT.

	Currently the ADT is still implemented as a list, but it might
	be a good idea to eventually change it to be an int, using a
	different bit for each flag.

compiler/dnf.m:
	Don't bother to record `done(dnf)' markers, since they're not needed.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Change add_pred_marker so that it adds a single marker, rather
	than a list of markers.  Allowing a list of markers was just
	adding extra complexity which wasn't being used.

Estimated hours taken: 1.5

Profiling code with lots of lambda goals was painful, because the names
of the predicates contained no information about which piece of the source
they correspond to. This change corrects this problem by enabling the
profiler to produce output such as:

... 0.00     0.00 <pred/func goal from lp:'pivot', line 362> [10]
... 0.00     0.00 <pred/func goal from lp:'pivot', line 356> [11]
... 0.00     0.00 <pred/func goal from lp:'simplex', line 262> [12]

compiler/lambda.m:
compiler/polymorphism.m:
	construct more meaningful predicate names for lambda predicates.

	lambda goal to the info structures that gets threaded through
	these modules.

	demangle the names for lambda goals.

	that is not necessarily the case -- although they are made
	distinct for type checking and mode analysis, excess assignment
	elimination (which is done by simplify.m) can reintroduce

e3471f333f Fix a bug in inlining of polymorphic pragma c_code procedures.
Estimated hours taken: 3

Fix a bug in inlining of polymorphic pragma c_code procedures.

The bug was that if the actual argument type has a specific type
of say `float', then the C variable for the corresponding formal
parameter will be declared to have type `Float', whereas without
inlining the argument type would have been polymorphic and so
the C variable would have been declared to have type `Word'.
Hence we need to keep track of the original argument types,
before any inlining or specialization has occurred, and use
these original argument types to determine how to declare
the C variables, rather than using the actual argument types
for this particular specialization.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add a new field to pragma_c_code goals, holding the
	original argument types (before any inlining or specialization)
	of the pragma_c_code procedure.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Initialize this field with the declared argument types for
	the pragma c_code procedure.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Update this field to account for the inserted type_info variables.

compiler/code_gen.m:
	Pass this field to pragma_c_gen.m.

compiler/pragma_c_gen.m:
	Use the original argument types field for the pragma variable
	declarations, rather than looking up the actual types of the
	arguments.

compiler/*.m:
	Trivial changes to handle new field.

compiler/live_vars.m:
	Comment out some code to avoid a warning about `fail'
	in the condition of an if-then-else.

The first half of a change to introduce nondet pragma C goals.
This half makes the necessary modifications to the HLDS; the next
half will modify the LLDS and emit it.

prog_data:
	Add a new pragma type for nondet pragma c_codes; these specify
	the names of a a bunch of variables to save across backtracking,
	and a list of label names to which backtracking may take place.

	Rename is_recursive to may_call_mercury, since this is a more
	direct expression of the meaning.

prog_io:
	Move much of the functionality to new files.

prog_io_dcg, prog_io_goal, prog_io_pragma, prog_io_util:
	New files, made up of pieces of prog_io.

hlds_goal:
	Add an extra argument to the pragma_c_goals to store the extra
	information present in the new type of pragma c_codes.

det_analysis:
	Take into account that the new type of pragma_c goal may have
	more than one solution.

goal_util:
	Rename variables in the new field of pragma_cs.

live_vars:
	Allocate stack slots to the saved variables in the new type of pragma_c
	goals.

bb2b816787 * Inter-module unused argument removal.
Estimated hours taken: 100

* Inter-module unused argument removal.

* Allow the user to specify which directories should be searched
for .opt files.

* Enhancements to simplify.m and common.m which will be useful for
partial deduction.

compiler/options.m
	Added and documented options:
	--intermod-unused-args to enable inter-module unused argument removal.
	--intermod-directory <dir>, same as --search-directory except used
		to locate .opt files.
	--use-search-directories-for-intermod - use the search directories
		for .opt files as well.
	--warn-simple-code - a flag to control the warnings produced by
		simplify.m so that they respect --inhibit-warnings.

compiler/unused_args.m
	Use the unused argument info from the .opt file.
	Clobber the dependency_info if any new preds were added.

compiler/hlds_module.m
	Added a field to the module_info to store unused argument
	information from .opt files.

compiler/prog_data.m
	Add :- pragma unused_args to hold unused argument information.
	This should only be used in .opt files.

compiler/make_hlds.m
	Build the unused_arg_info field in the module_info.
	Check that pragma unused_args only appears in .opt files.
	Fill in the non-locals field in the goal_info for the builtin
	stubs so that mode analysis computes the correct instmap delta.

compiler/intermod.m
	Read in the unused argument information for the current module when
	compiling to C. This is used to ensure that clauses are produced with
	the correct number of removed arguments (it may be possible to remove
	more arguments with the information from other modules).
	Fix a bug in the handling of module qualified function calls and
	higher-order predicate constants.

compiler/handle_options.m
	Handle --intermod-unused-args and
	--use-search-directories-for-intermod.

compiler/mercury_compile.m
	Run the entire front end and polymorphism (not just up to
	typechecking) when building the .opt file with
	--intermod-unused-args.
	Use the new interface to simplify.m, remove calls to excess.m
	and common.m.

compiler/code_util.m
compiler/llds_out.m
	When generating local code for a specialized version of a predicate
	from another module, put this module's name on the label to avoid
	link errors.

compiler/higher_order.m
	Don't add the originating module name to the name of the specialized
	version, since that is now done in code_util.m.
	Clobber the dependency graph so that inlining will work on the
	specialized versions in profiling grades (this will cause slightly
	slower compilation in profiling grades, something I need to fix).

compiler/simplify.m
	Merge a branching goal and an adjacent switch where the branches
	of the first goal contain extra information about the switched
	on variable of the second goal.
	Merge the excess assignments and common subexpression elimination
	passes into simplify.m.

compiler/excess.m
	The functionality of this module is now in simplify.m, but I'll
	leave it here for now.

compiler/instmap.m
	Added predicates instmap__bind_var_to_functor and
	instmap_delta_bind_var_functor to which take a var, cons_id
	and an instmap and adjust the inst of the var. This is used to
	update the instmap at the beginning of each case in a switch.
	Fix a bug in merge_instmap_delta where variables whose inst had
	information added in one branch of a switch, disj, or ite had that
	changed inst included in the instmap_delta for the entire
	branched goal.

compiler/mode_util.m
	Use instmap_delta_bind_var_to_functor in recompute_instmap_delta.
	Added predicate bind_inst_to_functor which takes a ground or bound
	inst and a cons_id and adjusts the top level of the inst to be bound
	to that cons_id. Other types of inst are left unchanged.
	Change recompute_instmap_delta so that the switched on variable of
	a switch is bound to the functor in each case even if the binding
	unification has been removed. Added a boolean argument to request
	recomputation of instmap_deltas for atomic goals.

compiler/modes.m
compiler/unique_modes.m
	Make sure that the instmap_delta for each branch of a switch
	includes the extra information added by the functor test.

compiler/common.m
	Removed the goal traversal. Leave preds to be called by simplify.m
	to optimise common unifications and calls.
	Warn about and eliminate multiple calls to a predicate with the same
	input arguments.
	Replace deconstructions of known terms with assignments to the output
	variables where this would not make more variables live at stack
	flushes.

compiler/follow_code.m
	Exported move_follow_code_select.
	Don't move follow code into erroneous branches.

library/string.nu.nl
	Added string__contains_char/2.

compiler/base_type_layout.m
compiler/special_pred.m
compiler/vn_order.m
library/mercury_builtin.m
	Removed duplicate calls.

doc/user_guide.texi
	Documented options.

tests/warnings/duplicate_call.m
tests/warnings/duplicate_call.exp
	Test duplicate call warning.

The only significant change in this checkin is that liveness.m now
tries to compute the best resume_locs for negations (it already did
for if-then-elses and disjunctions; leaving out negations was an
oversight in my earlier checkin).

The other changes are only syntactic:

I have removed the cont-lives and nondet-lives field from goal_info,
since they are not used anymore.

I have replaced the nondet-lives field in code_info, which is not used
anymore, with a follow-vars field, which is not used yet (but will be).

Some of the "read" access predicates in hlds_goal did not have "get" in
their name; I added them.

Estimated hours taken: 2.5

Switch from using a stack of store_maps in the code_info to govern what
goes where at the end of each branched structure to using the store map
fields of the goal expressions of those structures.

Fix variable names where they resembled the wrong kind of map(var, lval).

code_info:
	Remove the operations on stacks of store maps.
	Modify the generate_forced_saves and remake_with_store_map operations
	to take a store_map parameter.

	When making variables magically live, pick random unused variables
	to hold them, since we can no longer use the guidance of the top
	store map stack entry. This may lead to the generation of some
	excess move instructions at non-reachable points in the code;
	this will be fixed later.

code_gen:
	Remove the store map push and pop invocations.
	Modify the generate_forced_goal operation to take a store_map parameter.

code_exprn:
	Export a predicate for use by code_info.

middle_rec, disj_gen, ite_gen, switch_gen,
dense_switch, lookup_switch, string_switch, tag_switch:
	Pass the store map around to get it to invocations of the primitives
	in code_gen and code_info that now need it.

goal_util:
	Name apart the new follow_vars field in hlds__goal_infos.
	(This should have been in the change that introduced that field.)

common, constraint, cse_detection, det_analysis, dnf, excess, follow_code,

Estimated hours taken: 12

The main changes are

1	associating a name with the arguments of constructors

2	removing the follow_vars field from calls, higher-order calls
	and complicated unifications, since they are not used

3	merging the follow_vars and store_alloc passes, since they logically
	belong together

4	add a new module, lco, for detecting opportunities for last
	call optimization modulo constructor application; it won't
	actually apply the optimization until the mode system becomes
	expressive enough to handle it (this module detects 529 opportunities
	in the compiler and library)

5	make "-O3 --optimize-value-number" do the right thing; previously,
	it used not to apply value numbering because the vnrepeat option
	defaulted to zero

6	don't refer to .err2 files anymore; use .err instead.

prog_data:
	The list associated with each value of type "constructor" now
	contains not only the types of the arguments but their names as well.

equiv_type, hlds_data, hlds_out, make_hlds, mercury_to_{goedel,mercury},
mode_util, module_qual, shapes, type_util, unify_proc:
	Modify the traversal of type definitions to account for the names
	in the lists inside values of type "constructor".

prog_io:
	Parse argument names. An unrelated change is that we now
	check whether :- pred declarations give modes to some of their
	arguments but not to all, in which case we return an error.

hlds_goal:
	Remove the follow_vars field from calls, higher-order calls
	and complicated unifications.

*.m:
	Handle the new arities of calls, higher order calls and complicated
	unifications.

mercury_compile:
	Don't call follow_vars directly anymore, but do call lco if its option
	is set. Also flush the main output before a call to maybe_report_stats
	to prevent ugly output.

store_alloc:
	Call follow_vars directly.

follow_vars:
	Expose the initialization and traversal predicates for store_alloc.

lco:
	Find opportunities for last call optimization modulo constructor
	application.

passes_aux:
	Add a HLDS traversal type for lco.

optimize:
	Consider the vnrepeat count to be zero unless value numbering is on.

options:
	Set the default value of vnrepeat to 1.

modules:
	Don't refer to .err2 files.

9205a7e445 Module qualification of function calls and higher-order predicate constants.
Estimated hours taken: 6

Module qualification of function calls and higher-order predicate constants.

compiler/hlds_data.m
	Changed the cons(string, arity) constructor of cons_id to
	cons(sym_name, arity). A module qualified cons_id is assumed to
	be a function or higher-order pred constant, since we don't
	yet support module qualification of constructors (Explicit
	type qualification is much more useful anyway, but that doesn't
	work yet either).

compiler/hlds_goal.m
	Changed the functor(const, list(var)) constructor of unify_rhs
	to functor(cons_id, list(var)) to allow the storing of a module
	qualifier.

compiler/make_hlds.m
	Parse qualified function calls and higher-order pred constants.

compiler/modes.m
compiler/intermod.m
	Take module qualifiers into account when resolving function
	overloading.

compiler/*.m
	Updated unify_rhs's and cons_id's everywhere.

	(including testing)

These changes comprise
	* some configuration changes for accurate GC (setting -DNATIVE_GC,
	  working out dependencies for accurate GC, new .agc grade)
	* liveness changes for supporting polymorphism in accurate GC
	* some support of polymorphism for GC (mostly consisting of keeping
	  the typevar -> typinfo_var mappings (eg T in list(T) is
	  stored in TypeInfo_For_T) and corresponing mappings into
	  lvals at continuation labels.
	* changes required to data structures so that above changes could
	  work.
	* cut down on the number of abstract exports handled by checking
	  types to see whether they are imported (duh...)
	* don't use '-I' directories when searching for '.m' files.
	  (since this will wrecks dependency generation in some situations).
	* don't lookup and create shape information when not doing accurate
	  GC. (instead we just give back dummy values).

5d9e4158f7 Module qualification of types, insts and modes.
Estimated hours taken: 45

Module qualification of types, insts and modes.

Added a new interface file - <module>.int3. This contains the
short interface qualified as much as possible given the information
in the current module.

When producing the .int and .int2 files for a module, the compiler uses
the information in the .int3 files of modules imported in the interface
to fully module qualify all items. The .int2 file is just a fully
qualified version of the .int3 file. The .int3 file cannot be overwritten
by the fully qualified version in the .int2 file because then mmake would
not be able to tell when the interface files that depend on that .int3
file really need updating.

The --warn-interface-imports option can be used to check whether
a module imported in the interface really needs to be imported in
the interface.


compiler/module_qual.m
Module qualify all types, insts and modes. Also checks for modules
imported in the interface of a module that do not need to be.

compiler/modules.m
The .int file for a module now depends on the .int3 files of imported
modules. Added code to generate the make rule for the .int file in the
.d file. There is now a file .date2 which records the last time the
.int2 file was updated.
The .int3 files are made using the --make-short-interface option
introduced a few weeks ago.

compiler/options.m
Added option --warn-interface-imports to enable warning about interface
imports which need not be in the interface. This is off by default
because a lot of modules in the library import list.m when they only
need the type list, which is defined in mercury_builtin.m.
Removed option --builtin-module, since the mercury_builtin name is wired
into the compiler in a large number of places.

compiler/prog_util.m
Added a predicates construct_qualified_term/3 and construct_qualfied_term/4
which take a sym_name, a list of argument term and a context for the /4
version and give a :/2 term.

compiler/type_util.m
Modified type_to_type_id to handle qualified types. Also added predicates
construct_type/3 and construct_type/4 which take a sym_name and a list of
types and return a type by calling prog_util:construct_qualified_term.

compiler/modes.m
On the first iteration of mode analysis, module qualify the modes of
lambda expressions.

compiler/mode_info.m
Added field to mode_info used to decide whether or not to module qualify
lambda expressions.

compiler/mode_errors.m
Added dummy mode error for when module qualification fails so that mode
analysis will stop.
Added code to strip mercury_builtin qualifiers from error messages to
improve readability.

compiler/typecheck.m
Strip builtin qualifiers from error messages.

compiler/llds.m
compiler/llds_out.m
compiler/opt_util.m
compiler/opt_debug.m
Change the format of labels produced for the predicates to use the
qualified version of the type name.

compiler/mercury_compile.pp
Call module_qual__module_qualify_items and make_short_interface.
Remove references to undef_modes.m and undef_types.m

compiler/undef_modes.m
compiler/undef_types.m
Removed, since their functionality is now in module_qual.m.

compiler/prog_io.m
Changed to qualify the subjects of type, mode and inst declarations.

compiler/*.m
Changes to stop various parts of the compiler from throwing away
module qualifiers.
Qualified various mercury_builtin builtins, e.g. in, out, term etc.
where they are wired in to the compiler.

compiler/hlds_data.m
The mode_table and user_inst_table are now abstract types each
storing the {mode | inst}_id to hlds__{mode | inst}_defn maps
and a list of mode_ids or inst_ids. This was done to improve the
efficiency of module qualifying the modes of lambda expressions
during mode analysis.
module_info_optimize/2 now sorts the lists of ids.
The hlds_module interface to the mode and inst tables has not changed.

compiler/hlds_module.m
Added yet another predicate to search the predicate table.
predicate_table_search_pf_sym_arity searches for predicates or
functions matching the given sym_name, arity and pred_or_func.

compiler/higher_order.m
Changed calls to solutions/2 to list__filter/3. Eliminated unnecessary
requantification of goals.

compiler/unused_args.m
Improved abstraction slightly.

0e1e0b0b91 Implement recursive' and non_recursive' pragma c_code declarations.
Estimated hours taken: 4

Implement `recursive' and `non_recursive' pragma c_code declarations.
This allows the compiler to optimize cases when the C code
is known to not call Mercury code.  It's also necessary
to allow C code which modifies the hp register to work
(such code must be declared `non_recursive', otherwise
the registers will be saved and restored over it).
To make things bootstrap OK, the old pragma c_code declarations
default to `non_recursive'.

prog_data.m, hlds_goal.m:
	Add new field c_is_recursive to pragma c_code goals.

prog_io.m:
	Parse the new `recursive' and `non_recursive' pragma c_code
	declarations.

make_hlds.m:
	Pass the c_is_recursive field from the parse tree to the HLDS.

live_vars.m:
	For non-recursive C code, don't save variables on the stack.

code_gen.pp:
	For non-recursive C code, don't save variables on the stack,
	don't mark the succip as needing to be saved, and don't
	call save_registers() and restore_registers().

*.m:
	Change c_code/5 to c_code/6.

60b9fa83b6 Implement higher-order functions.
Estimated hours taken: 12

Implement higher-order functions.

Add higher-order function terms
(function lambda expressions, e.g. `Func = (func(X) = Y :- Y is 2 * X)'
and higher-order function calls (apply/N, e.g. `Z = apply(Func, 42)').
Add higher-order function insts and modes.

hlds_goal.m:
	Add a new field pred_or_func to lambda_goal.

prog_data.m:
	Add a new field pred_or_func to pred_inst_info.

prog_io.m:
	Add support for parsing higher-order function terms and
	higher-order function insts and modes.

make_hlds.m:
	Add support for parsing higher-order function terms.

typecheck.m:
	Add support for type-checking higher-order function calls
	and higher-order function terms.

modes.m, mode_errors.m:
	Add support for mode-checking higher-order function calls
	and higher-order function terms.

higher_order.m:
	Handle higher-order function types and insts.

hlds_pred.m:
	Add new predicate pred_args_to_func_args, for extracting the
	function arguments and function return from the arguments
	of a predicate that is really a function.

*.m:
	Minor changes to handle new pred_or_func field in lambda_goals
	and pred_inst_infos.

9a7da88ce0 Treat higher-order predicate calls as a new sort of goal,
Estimated hours taken: 24

Treat higher-order predicate calls as a new sort of goal,
rather than as calls to the special predicate call/N, in order to
remove the fixed limit on the number of arguments and on the modes
for call/N.

Also, remove the restriction on output arguments preceding input arguments
in lambda expressions.

hlds_goal.m:
	Add new functor higher_order_call/6 to the hlds__goal type.

*.m:
	Handle new functor higher_order_call/6.

arg_info.m:
	Abstract things a bit more: the argument passing convention
	for a procedure may be affected by that procedure's types,
	modes, and code_model, as well as the arg_method.

follow_vars.m:
	Pass down the args_method, since it is now needed for figuring
	out the arg_info for unifications and higher-order calls.

follow_code.m:
	Treat complicated unifications in the same way as calls.

lambda.m:
	When creating lambda predicates, permute the arguments so
	that all input arguments come before all output arguments.

call_gen.m:
	When generating higher-order predicate calls, don't abort
	if outputs precede inputs; instead, generate code assuming
	that the called predicate's args have been permuted so that
	the inputs to come before all the outputs.

649b6908c3 Rename branch_delay_slot to have_delay_slot.
Estimated hours taken: 8

options.m:
	Rename branch_delay_slot to have_delay_slot.
	Set optimize_delay_slot in -O2 only if have_delay_slot was set earlier.
	This is possible now because the default optimization level is now
	set in mc.

mercury_compile:
	Change verbose output a bit to be more consistent.

dead_proc_elim:
	Export the predicates that will eventually be needed by inlining.m.

inlining.m:
	Use the information about the number of times each procedure is called
	to inline local nonrecursive procedures that are called exactly once.
	EXCEPT that this is turned off at the moment, since the inlining of
	parse_dcg_goal_2 in prog_io, which this change enables, causes the
	compiler to emit incorrect code.

prog_io:
	Moved the data type definitions to prog_data. (Even though prog_io.m
	is ten times the size of prog_data.m, the sizes of the .c files are
	not too dissimilar.)

Estimated hours taken: 3

options:
	Add a new option, --branch-delay-slot, intended for use by mc on
	the basis of the configuattion script. It says whether the machine
	architecture has delays slots on branches.

	The setting of option should affect whether we set
	--optimize-delay-slots at -O2, but this doesn't work yet.

hlds_goal:
	Add an extra field to hold follow_vars infromation to disjunctions,
	switches and if-then-elses. I intend to use this information to
	generate better code.

*.m:
	Changes to accommodate the extra field.

	predicates for lambda expressions when not necessary,
	after fixing it so that it doesn't attempt to curry output
	arguments in cases such as

		lambda([Y::out] is det, q(_, Y))

	where q/2 is declared as

2833bfffb7 Divided the old hlds.m into four files:
Estimated hours taken: 10

hlds, hlds_module, hlds_pred, hlds_goal, hlds_data:
	Divided the old hlds.m into four files:

	hlds_module.m defines the data structures that deal with issues
	that are wider than a single predicate. These data structures are
	the module_info structure, dependency_info, the predicate table
	and the shape table.

	hlds_pred.m defined pred_info and proc_info, pred_id and proc_id.

	hlds_goal.m defines hlds__goal, hlds__goal_{expr,info}, and the
	other parts of goal structures.

	hlsd_data.m defines the HLDS types that deal with issues related
	to data and its representation: function symbols, types, insts, modes.
	It also defines the types related to determinism.

	hlds.m is now an empty module. I have not removed it from CVS
	because we may need the name hlds.m again, and CVS does not like
	the reuse of a name once removed.

other modules:
	Import the necessary part of hlds.

det_analysis:
	Define a type that was up to now improperly defined in hlds.m.

prog_io:
	Move the definition of type determinism to hlds_data. This decision
	may need to be revisited when prog_io is broken up.

dnf, lambda:
	Simplify the task of defining predicates.

llds:
	Fix some comments.

mercury_compile:
	If the option -d all is given, dump all HLDS stages.

shape, unused_args:
	Fix formatting.

3b36da6e77 Implement functional syntax. You can now use `:- func' in a similar manner
Estimated hours taken: 12

Implement functional syntax.  You can now use `:- func' in a similar manner
to `:- pred'.  For example, `:- func foo(int, int) = int.' declares a function,
and `:- mode foo(in, in) = out.' defines a mode for it.  You can write clauses
for functions, such as `foo(X, Y) = Z :- Z is 2*X + Y.'  Any term in the
head or body of a clause can be a function call, e.g. `bar(X, Y, foo(X, Y))'.

Until we have implemented a proper Mercury debugger, this syntax
should not be used (except that I might reimplement the functions
provided by Prolog's is/2 predicate using this syntax, rather than
the current special-case hack in the parser).

prog_io.m:
	Add syntax for declaring and defining functions.
	Disallow the use of `=' to define modes, as in `:- mode foo = bar.'
	(Instead, you should use `::'.  `==' is also allowed.)
	Also, use higher-order predicates to simplify some of the rather
	repetitious parsing code.

mercury_to_mercury.m, mercury_to_goedel.m, make_hlds.m, modules.m:
	Handle new functional syntax.

typecheck.m:
	Add support for functions, function types such as `func(int) = int',
	and currying.  (But there's currently no equivalent to call/N for
	functions, so function types and currying aren't very useful yet.)

undef_types.m:
	Add support for function types.

modes.m:
	Convert function calls into predicate calls.
	(This must be done after typechecking is complete,
	so I put it in mode analysis.)

hlds.m:
	Add new field `pred_or_func' to the pred_info.

hlds_out.m:
	Print out the `pred_or_func' field.

higher_order.m, unused_args.m, lambda.m, dnf.m:
	Pass extra pred_or_func argument to pred_info_init to specify that
	the thing being created is a predicate, not a function.

constraint.m, dependency_graph.m, hlds_out.m:
	`mercury_output_mode_subdecl' has been renamed
	`mercury_output_pred_mode_subdecl'.

prog_util.m:
	Add new predicate split_type_and_mode/3.

llds.m:
	Print out
		/* code for predicate '*'/3 in mode 0 */
	rather than
		/* code for predicate */3 in mode 0 */
	to avoid a syntax error in the generated C code.
