Implement the error handling proposals from February 2022 on the
mercury-users list, and August 2022 on the mercury-reviews list.
We add io.system_error to the public interface of io.m
and document what its foreign representation is for each backend.
We allow io.error to optionally contain an io.system_error value,
and provide predicates to retrieve the io.system_error from an io.error.
The user may then inspect the system error via foreign code.
We also provide a predicate that takes an io.error and returns a name
for the system error it contains (if any). This makes it relatively easy
for Mercury programs to check for specific error conditions.
By returning platform-specific (actually, implementation-dependent)
error names, we are pushing the responsibility of mapping strings to
error conditions onto the application programmer. On the other hand, it
is not practical for us to map all possible system-specific error codes
to some common set of values. We could do it for a small set of common
error codes/exceptions, perhaps.
The standard library will construct io.error values containing
io.system_errors. However, we do not yet provide a facility for user
code to do the same.
library/io.m:
Move io.system_error to the public interface.
Change the internal representation of io.error to support containing
a io.system_error. An io.system_error may originate from an errno
value or a Windows system error code; the constructor distinguishes
those cases.
Add predicates to retrieve a system_error from io.error.
Add predicate to return the name of the system error in an io.error.
Replace make_err_msg with make_io_error_from_system_error.
Replace make_maybe_win32_err_msg with
make_io_error_from_maybe_win32_error.
Delete ML_make_err_msg and ML_make_win32_err_msg macros.

then again, store it in a named variable.

In some modules, neither made sense, so I changed *both* to an order

Get the java.ssdebug grade installing and compiling hello world.
Note that currently the jars for the java.ssdebug grade are installed in the
same location as the non-ssdebug jars. That's not a problem for now,
because the standard library currently has the ssdebug transformations
turned off when it's compiled in the ssdebug grade, so the java.ssdebug
jars are the same as the java jars. Changing it so that the java.ssdebug
jars are installed in a different location requires getting mmc to
adjust the classpath depending on the grade, which doesn't seem worth
it at this stage.
Also note that the interface files for the ssdb, browser and mdbcomp
libraries need to be installed in the ssdebug grade otherwise mmc
complains that it cannot find files like ssdb.m when compiling
a program. These interface files are currently only installed

Branches: main
Change the representation of file streams in the io module so that they
can be used as typeclass instances. This is not currently possible because
file streams are defined as equivalence types and making them typeclass
instances results in overlapping instances.
This diff changes the representation by putting notag wrappers around the
various file stream types: io.input_stream, io.output_stream,
io.binary_input_stream, etc. This avoids the problem with overlapping
instances. It also improves type-safety; it is now not possible to pass a
binary input stream where a binary output stream is expected and so forth.
This change is complicated by the fact that the io module interacts with both
the runtime and the debugger via the C interface. In order to preserve the
existing C interface that the io module presents to the runtime (the
alternative being to more or less change all the argument types to MR_Word),
the I/O operations that operate on file streams have been split into two
parts: a "typed" part that is exported from the io module and an "untyped"
part that deals with primitive streams (the io.stream type).
For the debugger the problem is the reverse since there we typically pass
values of type MercuryFilePtr to exported Mercury procedures. In order
to avoid warnings from gcc we add a set of macros to the runtime that
wrap or unwrap MercuryFilePtrs. There should be no performance impact
since the macros just expand to casts.
library/io.m:
Do not define the various I/O streams as equivalence types in order
to avoid problems with overlapping instances when these types are
used as typeclass instances.
Mark io.seek_binary/5 and io.binary_stream_offset/4 as obsolete.
Add a typeclass io.binary_stream and make both binary file stream
types instances of it. This is so that the above predicates will
continue to work until they are deleted.
Add new predicates: io.seek_binary_input/5, io.seek_binary_output/5
io.binary_input_stream_offset/4 and io.binary_input_stream_offset/4
to replace the above.
When using io.write to print file streams strip off the wrapper
before printing the entry from the stream database. The information
in the wrapper is redundant - we use that from the stream db since
that is more detailed.
Format some section headings to conform with our current coding
standard.
Lots of minor formatting changes.

Fix a problem with the recent debugger changes that broke the 0.13 branch in
nogc grades on jupiter (and would presumably have broken the main branch
tonight). The problem was that the static global variable
MR_trace_browser_persistent_state_type, defined in mercury_trace_browser.c, is
referred to in the recently added file mercury_trace_cmd_parameter.c. This
causes a link-time error in the latter. This only shows up in nogc grades
since in other grades the the references to
MR_trace_browser_persistent_state_type are eliminated by the preprocessor.
Fix some other problems that cause warnings from the C compiler.
trace/mercury_trace_browse.[ch]:
Export the global MR_trace_browser_persistent_state_type since it is
now referred to from the module mercury_trace_cmd_parameter.

Replace the "set" command of mdb with a bunch of commands: the `format',
`format_param', `list_context_lines', `list_path', `xml_browser_cmd',
`xml_tmp_filename', `fail_trace_counts', `pass_trace_counts' and
`max_io_actions' commands. Each of these set just one parameter
or one of set of closely related parameters.
Move all these commands, and some existing commands that set parameters
that were elsewhere, to the "parameter" command category.
Extend some of these commands so that if given no arguments, they report

Replace the "set" commands of the mdb browser and of the declarative debugger

"actions" and "params" (the last prints the current value of the parameters).
For each category of mdb commands, create files mercury_trace_cmd_<cat>.[ch],
