Discussion of these changes can be found on the Mercury developers
mailing list archives from June 2018.
COPYING.LIB:
Add a special linking exception to the LGPL.
*:
Update references to COPYING.LIB.
Clean up some minor errors that have accumulated in copyright
messages.
In preparation for supporting uint literals and literals for the fixed size
integer types, generalise the representation of integers in the term module, so
that for every integer literal we record its base, value (as an arbitrary
precision integer), signedness and size (the latter two based on the literal's
suffix or lack thereof).
Have the lexer attach information about the integer base to machine sized ints;
we already did this for the 'big_integer' alternative but not the normal one.
In conjunction with the first change, this fixes a problem where the compiler
was accepting non-decimal integers in like arity specifications. (The
resulting error messages could be improved, but that's a separate change.)
Support uints in more places; mark other places which require further work with
XXX UINT.
library/term.m:
Generalise the representation of integer terms so that we can store
the base, signedness and size of a integer along with its value.
In the new design the value is always stored as an arbitrary precision
integer so we no longer require the big_integer/2 alternative; delete it.
Add some utility predicates that make it easier to work with integer terms.
library/term_conversion.m:
library/term_io.m:
Conform to the above changes,
Add missing handling for uints in some spots; add XXX UINT comments
in others -- these will be addressed later.

As above -- the compiler now rejects determinism declarations on

Replace a call to bitmap.new with bitmap.init.
This fixes `write_goto_table/4` in extras/moose/moose.m for the moose
parser generator. The more accurate mode checker requires a more
specific instantiatedness than `ground` for the generated `goto%s/2`
predicates.
This file-specific setting will override a default setting of expandtabs
in $HOME/.vimrc.

Don't ignore the purity subdir. This ignore must have been left over
from when purity.m was a test in hard_coded, not hard_coded/purity,
and it ignored an executable, not a directory.

Replace the use of '__' as a module qualifier in the rest of

Change the argument ordering of predicates in the set module.

I have changed moose to support user-specifiable parser state modes,
rather than just in/out. In particular, this means the parser state
can now include the IO state (this will be useful in conjunction with

Optionally test the extras directory during bootchecks.
tools/bootcheck
Add an option, -e, for testing the extras directory. Rename the
-T/--test-only option as -n/--no-bootcheck, since it does not prevent
the testing of the extras.
Bootcheck only test the subdirectories in extras which have an
Mmakefile and which can be tested in all grades and in all setups.
extras/*/Mmakefile:
Updates to include extras/Mmake.params if it exists (to get the
parameters, including grades, of the bootcheck) and to add a check
target, which in most cases does not do anything yet (which means
that the only testing we do is checking that the program compiles
all right). Making "mmake check" do something meaningful will be
up to the authors of the various subdirectories involved.
In many cases, add .PHONY annotations on the relevant targets,
and copyright notices.

Change a place where we call set_to_sorted_list and then iterate
over the list calling set__insert. Instead we now reverse the
list first so that the insertions happen at the start of the list
not the end. Results in about 5% performance improvement.
