9095985aa8 Fix more warnings from --warn-inconsistent-pred-order-clauses.
deep_profiler/*.m:
    Fix inconsistencies between (a) the order in which functions and predicates
    are declared, and (b) the order in which they are defined.

    In most modules, either the order of the declarations or the order
    of the definitions made sense, and I changed the other to match.
    In some modules, neither made sense, so I changed *both* to an order
    that *does* make sense (i.e. it has related predicates together).

    In query.m, put the various commands in the same sensible order
    as the code processing them.

    In html_format.m, merge two exported functions together, since
    they can't be used separately.

    In some places, put dividers between groups of related
    functions/predicates, to make the groups themselves more visible.

    In some places, fix comments or programming style.

deep_profiler/DEEP_FLAGS.in:
    Since all the modules in this directory are now free from any warnings
    generated by --warn-inconsistent-pred-order-clauses, specify that option
    by default in this directory to keep it that way.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    one or two.

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

9c98076fa8 When a recursive call is in a branching goal such that it is executed in some
but not all of the recursive cases we calculate it's per-call cost from the
recursion depth of MaxDepth / Calls.  This can make it a candidate for
parallelisation when only some iterations of a loop (in linear recursion) are
expensive and on average a single iteration is below the threshold for
automatic parallelism.

This is important when considering whether to push goals (such as recursive
calls) into branches to that they're next to goals that are candidates for
parallelisation - when, on average the branching goal is not a candidate for
parallelisation.  When pushing a goal and deciding whether a goal should be
pushed we must also do this calculation.

deep_profiler/analysis_utils.m:
    The recursive call cost for different calls now begins from different
    depths of recursion.  The depth of recursion used is MaxDepth / Calls,
    Which means that a recursive call that is called in all cases still has a
    depth of 1.0

deep_profiler/mdprof_fb.automatic_parallelism.m:
    When pushing a recursive call goal and detecting if it is worth-while to
    push a such a goal, test its per call cost after adjusting it for according
    to the formula above for the new number of calls it will have in this
    context.

    Fix a module qualification for a call to fold, fold is in set.m not list.m

2070f42b24 Refactor goal annotations in the deep profiler.
Goal annotations have previously been attached to goals using type-polymorphism
and in some cases type classes.  This has become clumsy as new annotations are
created.  Using the goal_id code introduced recently, this change associates
annotations with goals by storing them in an array indexed by goal ids.  Many
analyses have been updated to make use of this code.  This code should also be
faster as less allocation is done when annotating a goal as the goal
representation does not have to be reconstructed.

mdbcomp/mdbcomp.goal_path.m:
    Add predicates for working with goal attribute arrays.  These are
    polymorphic arrays that are indexed by goal id and can be used to associate
    information with goals.

deep_profiler/report.m:
    The procrep coverage info report now stores the coverage annotations in a
    goal_attr_array.

deep_profiler/coverage.m:
    The coverage analysis now returns its result in a goal_attr_array rather
    than by annotation the goal directly.

    The interface for the coverage module has changed, it now allows
    programmers to pass a goal_rep to it directly.  This makes it easier to
    call from other analyses.

    The coverage analysis no longer uses the calls_and_exits structure.
    Instead it uses the cost_and_callees structure like many other analyses.
    This also makes it easier to perform this annotation and others using only
    a single call site map structure.

    Moved add_coverage_point_to_map/5 from create_report.m to coverage.m.

deep_profiler/analysis_utils.m:
    Made cost_and_callees structure polymorphic so that any type can be used to
    represent the callees.  (So that either static or dynamic callees can be
    used).

    Added the number of exit port counts to the cost_and_callees structure.

    Added build_static_call_site_cost_and_callees_map/4.

    Rename build_call_site_cost_and_callees_map/4 to
    build_dynamic_call_site_cost_and_callees_map/4.

deep_profiler/var_use_analysis.m:
    Update the var_use_analysis to use coverage information provided in a
    goal_attr_array.

deep_profiler/recursion_patterns.m:
    Update the recursion analysis to use coverage information provided in a
    goal_attr_array.

deep_profiler/program_representation_utils.m:
    Add label_goals/4 to label goals with goal ids and build a map of goal ids
    to goal paths.

    Update pretty printing fucntions to work with either annotation on the
    goals themselves or provided by a higher order value.  The higher order
    argument maps nicly to the function goal_get_attribute/3 in goal_path.m

deep_profiler/mdprof_fb.automatic_parallelism.m:
    Modify goal_annotate_with_instmap, it now returns the instmap annotations
    in a goal_attr_array.

436d37cc8d Fix a regression that affected coverage profiling and automatic parallelism
analysis.

When instrumenting a program for deep and coverage profiling the compiler adds
goal path information to the program.  The compiler also writes out a bytecode
representation of the program.  The step_switch goal path step includes a field
for the number of functors of the type of the variable that is being switched
upon.  When this is included in the deep profiling data (as it is now) and
these goals paths are used as the indexes in tables the deep profiler cannot
reconstruct matching goal paths from the program representation bytecode,
causing many important map lookups to fail or throw an exception.

We fix this not by preventing the compiler from writing out this information,
but by stripping it out of goal paths before the analysis tool uses those goal
paths.

mdbcomp/program_representation.m:
    Add a new predicate rev_goal_path_remove_type_info/2 that removes
    type-dependant information from goals.

deep_profiler/profile.m:
    Change the goal_path string in the call_site_static type to contain a
    reverse_goal_path rather than a string.  This hides the abstraction of the
    stripping of type dependant information within read_profile.m

a2cd0da5b3 The existing representation of goal_paths is suboptimal for several reasons.
Estimated hours taken: 80
Branches: main

The existing representation of goal_paths is suboptimal for several reasons.

- Sometimes we need forward goal paths (e.g. to look up goals), and sometimes
  we need reverse goal paths (e.g. when computing goal paths in the first
  place). We had two types for them, but

  - their names, goal_path and goal_path_consable, were not expressive, and
  - we could store only one of them in goal_infos.

- Testing whether goal A is a subgoal of goal B is quite error-prone using
  either form of goal paths.

- Using a goal path as a key in a map, which several compiler passes want to
  do, requires lots of expensive comparisons.

This diff replaces most uses of goal paths with goal ids. A goal id is an
integer, so it can be used as a key in faster maps, or even in arrays.
Every goal in the body of a procedure gets its id allocated in a depth first
search. Since we process each goal before we dive into is descendants,
the goal representing the whole body of a procedure always gets goal id 0.
The depth first traversal also builds up a map (the containing goal map)
that tells us the parent goal of ever subgoal, with the obvious exception
of the root goal itself. From the containing goal map, one can compute
both reverse and forward goal paths. It can also serve as the basis of an
efficient test of whether the goal identified by goal id A is an ancestor
of another goal identified by goal id B. We don't yet use this test,
but I expect we will in the future.

mdbcomp/program_representation.m:
	Add the goal_id type.

	Replace the existing goal_path and goal_path_consable types
	with two new types, forward_goal_path and reverse_goal_path.
	Since these now have wrappers around the list of goal path steps
	that identify each kind of goal path, it is now ok to expose their
	representations. This makes several compiler passes easier to code.

	Update the set of operations on goal paths to work on the new data
	structures.

	Add a couple of step types to represent lambdas and try goals.
	Their omission prior to this would have been a bug for constraint-based
	mode analysis, or any other compiler pass prior to the expansion out
	of lambda and try goals that wanted to use goal paths to identify
	subgoals.

	Keep a reverse_goal_path field in the goal_info for use by RBMM and
	CTGC. Those analyses were too hard to convert to using goal_ids,
	especially since RBMM uses goal_paths to identify goals in multi-pass
	algorithms that should be one-pass and should not NEED to identify
	any goals for later processing.

compiler/goal_path:
	Add predicates to fill in goal_ids, and update the predicates
	filling in the now deprecated reverse goal path fields.

	Add the operations needed by the rest of the compiler
	on goal ids and containing goal maps.

	Remove the option to set goal paths using "mode equivalent steps".
	Constraint based mode analysis now uses goal ids, and can now
	do its own equivalent optimization quite simply.

	Move the goal_path module from the check_hlds package to the hlds
	package.

compiler/*.m:
	Conform to the changes in goal path representation.

	Most modules now use goal_ids to identify goals, and use a containing

41cb1d2f79 Variable use analysis now uses conservative assumptions for recursive call costs
when recursive call site cost information cannot be computed.

deep_profiler/var_use_analysis.m:
    The var use analysis predicates now use instantiation state subtypes for
    the recursion type information.

    Only look for variable use in recursive calls if we know the cost of the
    recursive call.

    In call_var_first_use, use map.lookup to get the cost of a call site rather
    than map.search.  All call site costs are now guaranteed to be known since
    this predicate is only valid for recursion types that provide this
    information.

deep_profiler/recursion_patterns.m:
    Fix bugs in the calculation of recursion data in semidet code.

    Use instantiation states to support the  subtypes used in
    var_use_analysis.m.

deep_profiler/measurements.m:
    Add a new abstract type, recursion_depth.

deep_profiler/analysis_utils.m:
deep_profiler/recursion_patterns.m:
deep_profiler/mdprof_fb.automatic_parallelism.m:
    Conform to changes in measurements.m

881039cfed Correct problems in the automatic parallelism analysis.
This patch fixes various problems, the most significant is the calculation of
variable use information.  The parallelisation analysis uses deep profiling
data.  In other words, profiling data that is attached to context information
referring to not just the procedure but the chain of calls leading to that
invocation of that procedure (modulo recursion).  The variable use analysis did
not use deep profiling data, therefore comparing the time that a variable is
produced with a call to the time in total of that call was not sound, and
sometimes resulted in information that is not possible, such as a variable
being produced or consumed after the call that produces or consumes it has
exited.

This change-set updates the variable use analysis to use deep profiling data to
avoid these problems.  At the same time it provides more accurate information
to the automatic parallelisation pass.  This is possible because of an earlier
change that allowed the coverage data to use deep profiling data.

In its current state, the parallelisation analysis now finishes without errors
and computes meaningful results when analysing a profile of the mercury
compiler's execution.

deep_profiler/report.m:
    The proc var use report is now a call site dynamic var use report.
       1) It now uses deep profiling data.
       2) It makes more sense from the callers perspective so it's now based
          around a call site rather than a proc.

    Add inst subtypes to the recursion_type type.

deep_profiler/query.m:
    The proc var use query is now a call site dynamic var use query, see
    report.m.

deep_profiler/var_use_analysis.m:
    Fix a bug here and in mdprof_fb.automatic_parallelism.m: If a
    variable is consumed by a call and appears in it's argument list more than
    once, take the earliest consumption time rather than the one for the
    earliest argument.

    Variable use analysis now uses recursion_patterns.m to correctly compute
    the cost of recursive calls.  It also uses 'deep' profiler data.

    Only measure variable use relative to the entry into a procedure, rather
    than either relative to the entry or exit.  This allows us to simplify a
    lot of code.

deep_profiler/create_report.m:
    The proc var use info report is now a call site dynamic var use info
    report.

    Move some utility code from here to the new analysis_utils.m module.

deep_profiler/display_report.m:
    Conform to changes in report.m.

    Improve the information displayed for variable first-use time
    reports.

deep_profiler/mdprof_fb.automatic_parallelism.m:
    Conform to changes in report.m

    Refactored the walk down the clique tree.  This no-longer uses the
    clique reports from the deep profiling tool.

    We now explore the same static procedure more than once.  It may be best to
    parallelise it in some contexts rather than others but for now we assume
    that the benefits in some context are worth the costs without benefit in
    the other contexts.  This is better than reaching a context where it is
    undesirable first and never visiting a case where parallelisation is
    desirable.

    Fix a bug in the calculation of how much parallelisation is used by
    parallelisations in a clique's parents.  This used to trigger an
    assertion.

    Don't try to parallelize anything in the "exception" module.
    There's probably other builtin code we should skip over here.

    Removed an overzealous assertion that was too easily triggered by the
    inaccuracies of IEEE-754 arithmetic.

    Compute variable use information lazily for each variable in each call.  I
    believe that this has made our implementation much faster as it no-longer
    computes information that is never used.

    Refactor and move build_recursive_call_site_cost_map to the new
    module analysis_utils.m where it can be used by other analyses.

    Call site cost maps now use the cs_cost_csq type to store costs,
    code in this module now conforms to this change.

    Conform to changes in messages.m

deep_profiler/recursion_patterns.m:
    Export a new predicate, recursion_type_get_maybe_avg_max_depth/2.  This
    retrieves the average maximum recursion depth from recursion types that know
    this information.

    Move code that builds a call site cost map for a procedure to
    analysis_utils.m where it can be used by other analyses.

deep_profiler/analysis_utils.m:
    Added a new module containing various utility predicates for profile
    analysis.

deep_profiler/coverage.m:
    Added an extra utility predicate get_coverage_after/2.

deep_profiler/message.m:
    Each message has a location that it refers to, a new location type has
    been added: call_site_dynamic.

    Added a new warning that can be used to describe when a call site's
    argument's use time cannot be computed.

    Added new predicates for printing out messages whose level is below a
    certain threshold.  These predicates can be called from io trace goals.
    Message levels start at 0 and currently go to 4, more critical messages
    have lower levels.  The desired verbosity level is stored in a module local
    mutable.

deep_profiler/mdprof_feedback.m:
    Move the message printing code from here to message.m.

deep_profiler/old_html_format.m:
deep_profiler/old_query.m:
    Conform to changes in query.m.

mdbcomp/feedback.automatic_parallelism.m:
    Added a new function for computing the 'cpu time' of a parallel
    computation.

library/lazy.m:
    Moved lazy.m from extras to the standard library.

library/list.m:
    Add a new predicate member_index0/3.  Like member/2 except it also gives
    the zero-based index of the current element within the list.

library/maybe.m:
    Add two new insts.
        maybe_yes(I) for the maybe type's yes/1 constructor.
        maybe_error_ok(I) for the maybe_error type's ok/1 constructor.

library/Mercury.options:
    Add a work around for compiling lazy.m with intermodule optimisations.

NEWS:
    Update news file for the addition of lazy.m and the member_index0 predicate
    in list.m

deep_profiler/.cvsignore:
    Ignore feedback.automatic_parallelism.m which is copied by Mmakefile from
    the mdbcomp/ directory.
