189b9215ae This diff implements stack slot optimization for the LLDS back end based on
Estimated hours taken: 400
Branches: main

This diff implements stack slot optimization for the LLDS back end based on
the idea that after a unification such as A = f(B, C, D), saving the
variable A on the stack indirectly also saves the values of B, C and D.

Figuring out what subset of {B,C,D} to access via A and what subset to access
via their own stack slots is a tricky optimization problem. The algorithm we
use to solve it is described in the paper "Using the heap to eliminate stack
accesses" by Zoltan Somogyi and Peter Stuckey, available in ~zs/rep/stackslot.
That paper also describes (and has examples of) the source-to-source
transformation that implements the optimization.

The optimization needs to know what variables are flushed at call sites
and at program points that establish resume points (e.g. entries to
disjunctions and if-then-elses). We already had code to compute this
information in live_vars.m, but this code was being invoked too late.
This diff modifies live_vars.m to allow it to be invoked both by the stack
slot optimization transformation and by the code generator, and allows its
function to be tailored to the requirements of each invocation.

The information computed by live_vars.m is specific to the LLDS back end,
since the MLDS back ends do not (yet) have the same control over stack
frame layout. We therefore store this information in a new back end specific
field in goal_infos. For uniformity, we make all the other existing back end
specific fields in goal_infos, as well as the similarly back end specific
store map field of goal_exprs, subfields of this new field. This happens
to significantly reduce the sizes of goal_infos.

To allow a more meaningful comparison of the gains produced by the new
optimization, do not save any variables across erroneous calls even if
the new optimization is not enabled.

compiler/stack_opt.m:
	New module containing the code that performs the transformation
	to optimize stack slot usage.

compiler/matching.m:
	New module containing an algorithm for maximal matching in bipartite
	graphs, specialized for the graphs needed by stack_opt.m.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Invoke the new optimization if the options ask for it.

compiler/stack_alloc.m:
	New module containing code that is shared between the old,
	non-optimizing stack slot allocation system and the new, optimizing
	stack slot allocation system, and the code for actually allocating
	stack slots in the absence of optimization.

	Live_vars.m used to have two tasks: find out what variables need to be
	saved on the stack, and allocating those variables to stack slots.
	Live_vars.m now does only the first task; stack_alloc.m now does
	the second, using code that used to be in live_vars.m.

compiler/trace_params:
	Add a new function to test the trace level, which returns yes if we
	want to preserve the values of the input headvars.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Document the new modules (as well as trace_params.m, which wasn't
	documented earlier).

compiler/live_vars.m:
	Delete the code that is now in stack_alloc.m and graph_colour.m.

	Separate out the kinds of stack uses due to nondeterminism: the stack
	slots used by nondet calls, and the stack slots used by resumption
	points, in order to allow the reuse of stack slots used by resumption
	points after execution has left their scope. This should allow the
	same stack slots to be used by different variables in the resumption
	point at the start of an else branch and nondet calls in the then
	branch, since the resumption point of the else branch is not in effect
	when the then branch is executed.

	If the new option --opt-no-return-calls is set, then say that we do not
	need to save any values across erroneous calls.

	Use type classes to allow the information generated by this module
	to be recorded in the way required by its invoker.

	Package up the data structures being passed around readonly into a
	single tuple.

compiler/store_alloc.m:
	Allow this module to be invoked by stack_opt.m without invoking the
	follow_vars transformation, since applying follow_vars before the form
	of the HLDS code is otherwise final can be a pessimization.

	Make the module_info a part of the record containing the readonly data
	passed around during the traversal.

compiler/common.m:
	Do not delete or move around unifications created by stack_opt.m.

compiler/call_gen.m:
compiler/code_info.m:
compiler/continuation_info.m:
compiler/var_locn.m:
	Allow the code generator to delete its last record of the location
	of a value when generating code to make an erroneous call, if the new
	--opt-no-return-calls option is set.

compiler/code_gen.m:
	Use a more useful algorithm to create the messages/comments that
	we put into incr_sp instructions, e.g. by distinguishing between
	predicates and functions. This is to allow the new scripts in the
	tool directory to gather statistics about the effect of the
	optimization on stack frame sizes.

library/exception.m:
	Make a hand-written incr_sp follow the new pattern.

compiler/arg_info.m:
	Add predicates to figure out the set of input, output and unused
	arguments of a procedure in several different circumstances.
	Previously, variants of these predicates were repeated in several
	places.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Export some previously private utility predicates.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Turn off stack slot optimizations when debugging, unless
	--trace-optimized is set.

	Add a new dump format useful for debugging --optimize-saved-vars.

compiler/hlds_llds.m:
	New module for handling all the stuff specific to the LLDS back end
	in HLDS goal_infos.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Move all the relevant stuff into the new back end specific field
	in goal_infos.

compiler/notes/allocation.html:
	Update the documentation of store maps to reflect their movement
	into a subfield of goal_infos.

compiler/*.m:
	Minor changes to accomodate the placement of all back end specific
	information about goals from goal_exprs and individual fields of
	goal_infos into a new field in goal_infos that gathers together
	all back end specific information.

compiler/use_local_vars.m:
	Look for sequences in which several instructions use a fake register
	or stack slot as a base register pointing to a cell, and make those
	instructions use a local variable instead.

	Without this, a key assumption of the stack slot optimization,
	that accessing a field in a cell costs only one load or store
	instruction, would be much less likely to be true. (With this
	optimization, the assumption will be false only if the C compiler's
	code generator runs out of registers in a basic block, which for
	the code we generate should be unlikely even on x86s.)

compiler/options.m:
	Make the old option --optimize-saved-vars ask for both the old stack
	slot optimization (implemented by saved_vars.m) that only eliminates
	the storing of constants in stack slots, and the new optimization.

	Add two new options --optimize-saved-vars-{const,cell} to turn on
	the two optimizations separately.

	Add a bunch of options to specify the parameters of the new
	optimizations, both in stack_opt.m and use_local_vars.m. These are
	for implementors only; they are deliberately not documented.

	Add a new option, --opt-no-return-cells, that governs whether we avoid
	saving variables on the stack at calls that cannot return, either by
	succeeding or by failing. This is for implementors only, and thus
	deliberately documented only in comments. It is enabled by default.

compiler/optimize.m:
	Transmit the value of a new option to use_local_vars.m.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Update the documentation of --optimize-saved-vars.

library/tree234.m:
	Undo a previous change of mine that effectively applied this
	optimization by hand. That change complicated the code, and now
	the compiler can do the optimization automatically.

tools/extract_incr_sp:
	A new script for extracting stack frame sizes and messages from
	stack increment operations in the C code for LLDS grades.

tools/frame_sizes:
	A new script that uses extract_incr_sp to extract information about
	stack frame sizes from the C files saved from a stage 2 directory
	by makebatch and summarizes the resulting information.

tools/avg_frame_size:
	A new script that computes average stack frame sizes from the files
	created by frame_sizes.

tools/compare_frame_sizes:
	A new script that compares the stack frame size information
	extracted from two different stage 2 directories by frame_sizes,
	reporting on both average stack frame sizes and on specific procedures
	that have different stack frame sizes in the two versions.

13f0e7610a A large step towards declarative debugging of goals that do I/O.
Estimated hours taken: 40
Branches: main

A large step towards declarative debugging of goals that do I/O. This step
does everything needed for that except modify the declarative debugger itself;
that is for Mark to do.

If you give the new option --trace-table-io-decl, the transformation performed
by the compiler on I/O primitives will preserve not just the output arguments
of the primitive, so that the primitive can be "reexecuted" without performing
any side-effects, but also the input arguments and the identity of the I/O
primitive itself. The I/O table therefore will contain a list of the I/O
primitives executed by the program after I/O tabling is started.

You can test this via the new debugger commands "print action <action-number>"
and "browse action <action-number>".

The new option is currently not documented, because the declarative debugger
does not yet use the information it provides. The new debugger commands are
not documented because they are meant only for implementors, at least for
now.

Since this change adds a field to proc_layout structures, any workspaces
compiled with debugging enabled will need to do a cvs update when this change
is installed.

compiler/options.m:
	Add the option --trace-table-io-decl. When set, this causes the
	compiler to transform I/O action primitives to allow declarative
	debugging of I/O actions.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Make --trace-table-io-decl imply --trace-table-io.

compiler/table_gen.m:
	Perform the transformation, which is similar to the existing
	--trace-table-io transformation, but preserves the identity of all
	non-io-state arguments (not just the outputs) and the identity
	of the I/O primitive itself.

	Provide better names for variables generated by tabling
	transformations.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add extra parameters to procedures whose job it is to create new
	goals to name the variables in those goals.

compiler/layout.m:
	Add a new layout structure to contain the information the runtime
	system needs to interpret the information saved by the new
	transformation.

compiler/layout_out.m:
	Output the new layout structure.

compiler/continuation_info.m:
	Add a field to proc_layouts to point to the declarative I/O tabling
	structure, and another to identify the proc_layout without using LLDS
	types.

compiler/code_gen.m:
	Provide the definition of this field when appropriate.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add a field to proc_infos to store the information from the tabling
	transformation until code generation.

compiler/stack_layout.m:
	Add a mechanism for transforming the high level description of I/O
	action tabling data in proc_infos to the low level description we need
	to generate C data structures.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add a new cons_id and a new cons_tag; they are used to refer to I/O
	tabling structures in code generated by the new transformation.

compiler/*.m:
	Handle the updates to global data types above.

library/table_builtin.m:
	Modernize some old code.

	Fix an old off-by-one error: make I/O tabling use the first slot
	in the I/O action table.

library/varset.m:
	Add a mechanism for creating a variable that is named iff the caller
	has a name for it.

runtime/mercury_layout_util.[ch]:
	Add a function for materializing type parameters from an answer block,
	not from registers or a closure.

runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
	Declare a C type for the data structure holding information about
	I/O primitives transformed by --trace-table-io-decl, and add a field
	to proc_layout structures to point to these new structures.

	Add a new evaluation method for --trace-table-io-decl.

runtime/mercury_tabling_macros.h:
	Add some conditionally-compiled debugging code to the primitive for
	saving answers.

trace/mercury_trace_vars.[ch]:
	Add functions for printing I/O action goals.

trace/mercury_trace_internal.c:
	Add code for recognizing and implementing commands to print I/O
	action goals.

trace/mercury_trace.c:
	Add code for handling the new eval method.

tests/debugger/tabled_read.{m,inp,exp*}:
	Add a polymorphic I/O action primitive, add calls to it, and test
	the printing of both monomorphic and polymorphic action goals.

tests/debugger/tabled_read_decl.{m,inp,exp*,data}:
	A new test case. It does the same things as the new version of
	tabled_read, but it is compiled with --trace-table-io-decl, not
	just --trace-table-io. It therefore can (and does) test the printing
	of tabled I/O actions.

tests/debugger/Mmakefile:
	Add the new test case.

b30433486a Avoid some unnecessary tag tests when using reserved address
Branches: main
Estimated hours taken: 4

Avoid some unnecessary tag tests when using reserved address
data representations.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add new cons_tag alternative `single_functor'.
	This is equivalent to `unshared_tag(0)' except that it
	also means that there are no other primary tag values used.

	Previously this wasn't needed, since any tag tests
	against `unshared_tag(0)' would be marked as `cannot_fail'
	by determinism analysis.  However, now that we have
	reserved addresses, that is not sufficient: a tag test against
	`shared_with_reserved_address(null_pointer, unshared_tag(0))'
	is semidet, because it needs to first check for null,
	but if there are no other functors then it should NOT
	bother to check that the tag is zero.  We need the
	`single_functor' alternative to optimize that case.

compiler/make_tags.m:
	Assign `single_functor' representations rather than
	`unshared_tag(0)' if there are no other functors remaining.

compiler/options.m:
doc/user_guide.texi:
	Add new options `--num-reserved-addresses'
	and `--num-reserved-objects'.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add new type `reserved_address ---> null_pointer ; small_pointer(int) ;
	reserved_object(sym_name, arity)'.
	Add new cons_tag alternatives `reserved_address(reserved_address)'
	and `shared_with_reserved_address(list(reserved_address), cons_tag)'.
	Also add get_secondary_tag, for use by ml_type_gen.m.

compiler/ml_type_gen.m:
	Don't generate types for constructors represented using reserved
	addresses.  For constructors represented using reserved_object,
	generate the reserved object.
	Also, use get_secondary_tag, rather than just unifying with
	shared_remote/2, so that it works for
	shared_with_reserved_tag(_, shared_remote(_, _)).

compiler/make_tags.m:
	If --tags none and --num-reserved-addresses are both set,
	then assign null_pointer and small_pointer(int) representations
	to constants up to the value set in num-reserved-addresses.
	If --tags none and --high-level-code are both set,
	and more constants remain unassigned, then assign reserved_object
	representations for those constants, and generate static member
	variable declarations for the reserved_objects.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Pass down the type_id to assign_constructor_tags in make_tags.m,
	since it is needed for reserved_object representations.

compiler/ml_unify_gen.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Handle construction, deconstruction, and tag tests for

1c65d003f7 Add the shorthand_goal_expr wrapper type to ease hlds->hlds transformations.
Estimated hours taken: 4.5
Branches: main

Add the shorthand_goal_expr wrapper type to ease hlds->hlds transformations.

compiler/hlds_goal.m
        Create a new type, the `shorthand_goal_expr', for goals kinds that
        are implemented by a (ordinary_hlds + shorthand) -> (ordinary_hlds)
        transformation.  At present, bi_implication is the only kind of
        of goal that is implemented in this way.

        Moved bi_implication functor from the type goal_expr to the new
        shorthand_goal_expr type.

        Added the functor shorthand to the goal_expr type.

compiler/*.m
        Change switches on hlds_goal_expr that call error when they recognise
        `bi_implication' from calling error when they recognise
        `bi_implication' to calling error when they recognise `shorthand'.

        For all predicates K that
                a) switch on hlds_goal_expr and
                b) perform non-trivial processing when they recognise
                   `bi_implication'
        change K such that it now calls K_shorthand upon recognising the
        functor `shorthand'. Define K_shorthand to switch on
        shorthand_goal_expr, where the code for the `bi_implication' case
        formerly contained in K is now contained in K_shorthand.

711da78188 Rename foreign_code as foreign_proc where appropriate in the compiler.
Estimated hours taken: 4.0
Branches: main

Rename foreign_code as foreign_proc where appropriate in the compiler.
The rationale for this change is that it makes maintaining the code much
simpler because it is clear whether `foreign' refers to a slab of code
(foreign_code) or a procedure (foreign_proc).

:- type pragma_foreign_code_attributes
:- type pragma_foreign_proc_attributes

The functors for pragma_type
	foreign(Lang, BodyCode)
	foreign(Attributes, Name, PredOrFunc, Vars, Varset, Impl)
become
	foreign_code(Lang, BodyCode)
	foreign_proc(Attributes, Name, PredOrFunc, Vars, Varset, Impl)

And the HLDS goal `pragma_foreign_code' becomes `foreign_proc'.

4be69fa961 Eliminated a lot of the dependencies on the the `code_model' type,
Estimated hours taken: 6

Eliminated a lot of the dependencies on the the `code_model' type,
and move that type from llds.m into a new module `code_model'.
The aim of this change is to improve the modularity of the compiler by
reducing the number of places in the compiler front-end that depend
on back-end concepts and the number of places in the MLDS back-end
which depend on the LLDS.

compiler/code_model.m:
	New module.  Contains the code_model type and associated
	procedures.

compiler/llds.m:
	Move the code_model type into code_model.m.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Move the goal_info_get_code_model procedure into code_model.m,
	to avoid having the HLDS modules import code_model.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Delete `hlds_out__write_code_model', since it wasn't being used.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Move the proc_info_interface_code_model procedure into code_model.m,
	to avoid having the HLDS modules import code_model.

compiler/goal_path.m:
	When computing the `maybe_cut' field for `some' goals,
	compute it by comparing the determinism rather than by
	comparing the goal_infos.

compiler/unique_modes.m:
	Use determinism and test for soln_count = at_most_many
	rather than using code_model and testing for model_non.

compiler/inlining.m:
	Test for determinism nondet/multi rather than testing
	for code_model model_non.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/det_report.m:
	Change valid_code_model_for_eval_method, which succeeded unless
	the eval_method was minimal_model and the code_model was model_det,
	to valid_determinism_for_eval_method, which succeeds unless the
	eval_method is minimal_model and the determinism cannot fail.
	As well as avoiding a dependency on code_model in the HLDS
	modules, this also fixes a bug where det_report could give
	misleading error messages, saying that `multi' was a valid
	determinism for `minimal_model' predicates, when in fact the
	compiler will always report a determinism error if you declare
	a `minimal_model' predicate with determinism `multi'.
	(Actually the code in which this bug occurs is in fact
	unreachable, but this is no doubt also a bug... I'll address
	that one in a separate change.)

compiler/lookup_switch.m:
	Simplify the code a bit by using globals__lookup_*_option
	rather than globals__get_option and then getopt__lookup_option.

compiler/*.m:
	Add `import_module' declarations for `code_model', and in some
	cases remove `import_module' declarations for `llds'.

477ecb18f6 Implement pragma foreign_code for Managed C++.
Estimated hours taken: 60

Implement pragma foreign_code for Managed C++.

Currently you can only write MC++ code if your backend is capable of
generating use MC++ as its "native" foreign language.  The IL backend is
the only backend that does this at the moment (the other backends have C
as their "native" foreign language).

Most of the machinery is in place to call from C to (normal) C++
but there is little work done on actually spitting out the C++ code into
a separate file.  The IL backend does this step already with managed C++.
The intention is to turn foreign_code for C++ into a pragma import
(which imports the C++ function from a separate file) and
foreign_code for C (which calls the imported function).  The C++ code
will be inserted into a separate file that is compiled using C linkage.

The important improvement this change gives is that you can write a
module with a C and a MC++ implementations side-by-side.  The target
backend will select the most appropriate foreign language to use.
You can override its choice using --use-foreign-language.  Later on
we will probably want more flexibility than just a single language
selection option).

This change also implements :- pragma foreign_decl, which allows header
file style declarations to be written in languages other than C.

compiler/code_gen.m:
	Reject code that is not C when generating LLDS.

compiler/export.m:
	Start renaming C as foreign.
	Reject code that is not C when generating exports.

	A new module to handle foreign language interfacing.
	The bulk of the code for pragma import has been moved here from
	make_hlds.

compiler/globals.m:
	Convert foreign language names to foreign_language.
	This code has been moved closer to the similar conversion we do
	for target language names.
	Add globals__io_lookup_foreign_language_option to make it easier
	to deterministically lookup the options relating to foreign
	languages.


compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Move module_add_foreign_decl and module_add_foreign_body_code
	from make_hlds.m (where they were called module_add_c_header and
	module_add_c_code).

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Write the foreign language out in HLDS dumps.

compiler/llds.m:
	Change foreign_header_info to foreign_decl_info.
	Change definitions of foreign_decl_code and foreign_body_code to
	include the language.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Reject code that is not C when writing out LLDS.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Add foreign language information to the bodys and decls when
	creating them.
	Update error messages to refer to foreign code instead of C
	code.
	Use foreign.m to generate interfaces from the backend language
	to the foreign language.
	Hardcode C as the language for fact tables.

	output to the backend.

compiler/intermod.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Output the foreign language string.
	Change a few names to foreign_code instead of c_code.

compiler/ml_code_gen.m:

	the ones we are in (given by the use-foreign-language option).

compiler/mlds_to_c.m:
	Abort if we are given non C foreign language code to output
	(we might handle it here in future, or we might handle it
	elsewhere).

compiler/mlds_to_ilasm.m:
	Abort if we are given non MC++ foreign language code to output
	(we might handle it here in future, or we might handle it
	elsewhere).

compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
	Add --use-foreign-language as a user option to control the
	preferred foreign language to use as the implementation of this
	module.
	Add backend_foreign_language as an internal option which stores
	the foreign language that the compiler will use as a default
	(e.g. the natural foreign language for the backend to use).
	Set the preferred backend foreign language depending on the
	target.

compiler/prog_data.m:

dd7f3e80d1 Unify the code that performs the three kinds of data movements
Estimated hours taken: 20

Unify the code that performs the three kinds of data movements
required for calls:

(1) putting forward live variables to be saved across the call
    into their stack slots
(2) putting variables protected by enclosing resumption points
    into their stack slots
(3) putting input arguments into their registers

By using the same code (code_info__setup_call) for all three, we gain
two benefits:

(1) This code can also compute the live lval set we must put into
    a livevals LLDS instruction before the call to describe the
    locations that must be preserved by value numbering. Previously,
    this set was computed by other algorithms, raising the possibility
    of a discrepancy. Such discrepancies would cause value numbering
    to generate incorrect code.

(2) The eager back end is more efficient when given a single list
    of data placements to perform instead of three lists, because
    it can reorder operations more freely when required.

compiler/call_gen.m:
	Make the change described above.

	Factor out more code that is common between ordinary and generic calls.

compiler/code_info.m:
	Provide the infrastructure for the change above.

compiler/arg_info.m:
	Concentrate predicates dealing with arg_infos and parameter passing
	conventions in general in this module. Previously, call_gen.m and
	code_util.m also contained such code.

46a8da81cb Implement builtin tuple types, similar to those in Haskell.
Estimated hours taken: 30

Implement builtin tuple types, similar to those in Haskell.

Tuples are constructed and deconstructed using
the syntax X = {Arg1, Arg2, ...}.
Tuples have type `{Arg1, Arg2, ...}'.

Unary tuples (X = {Arg}) do work, unlike in Haskell. The rationale
for this is that it is useful to be able to construct unary tuples
to be passed to a polymorphic predicate which uses std_util__deconstruct
to deal with a tuple of any arity. Since this is probably the only
use for unary tuples, it's not really worth the effort of treating
them as no_tag types, so we don't.

The type-infos for tuples have the same structure as for higher-order
types. There is a single type_ctor_info for tuples, and the arity
is placed before the argument type_infos.

library/parser.m:
	Change the way '{}/N' terms are parsed, so that the parsed
	representation is consistent with the way other functors
	are represented (previously the arguments were left as
	unparsed ','/2 terms). This avoids special case code
	in prog_io__parse_qualified_term, term__term_to_type
	and term__type_to_term.

compiler/prog_io_dcg.m:
compiler/prog_io_util.m:
	Handle the new structure of '{}/N' terms when parsing DCG escapes
	by converting the argument list back into a single ','/2 term.

compiler/module_qual.m:
	Treat tuples as a builtin type.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Typecheck tuple constructors.

compiler/mode_util.m:
	Propagate types into tuple bound insts.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Add type_is_tuple/2 and type_id_is_tuple/1 to identify tuple types.
	Add tuples to the list of types which are not atomic types.

	Handle tuple types in `type_constructors' and
	`get_cons_id_arg_types' and `switch_type_num_functors'.

compiler/tabling.m:
	Handle tabling of tuples.

compiler/term_util.m:
	Handle tuples in the code to compute functor norms.

compiler/magic_util.m:
compiler/rl.m:
compiler/rl_key.m:
	Handle tuple types in the Aditi back end.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
library/io.m:
library/term_io.m:
	Handle output of '{}/N' terms.

compiler/higher_order.m:
compiler/simplify.m:
	Don't specialize complicated unifications of tuple
	types into calls to a specific unification procedure --
	even if the procedure were implemented, it probably
	wouldn't be that much more efficient.

compiler/unify_proc.m:
	Generate unification procedures for complicated unifications
	of tuples (other than in-in unifications). These are generated
	lazily as required.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Export add_special_pred for use by unify_proc.m.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Export polymorphism__process_pred for use by unify_proc.m.

compiler/bytecode_gen.m:
compiler/code_util.m:
compiler/ml_code_util.m:
	Handle unify procedure names and tags for tuple types.

compiler/mlds_to_c.m:
	Output tuple types as MR_Tuple.

compiler/ml_unify_gen.m:
	Compute the field types for tuples.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
compiler/pseudo_type_info.m:
	Treat tuple type_infos in a similar way to higher-order type_infos.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Document how cons_ids for tuple types are represented.

compiler/switch_gen.m:
compiler/table_gen.m:
	Add tuple types to switches on type_util__builtin_type.

compiler/llds_out.m:
util/mdemangle.c:
profiler/demangle.m:
	Transform items named "{}" to "f_tuple" when mangling symbols.

library/builtin.m:
	Define the type_ctor_info used for tuples.

library/private_builtin.m:
	Add `builtin_unify_tuple/2' and `builtin_compare_tuple/3',
	both of which abort. All comparisons and in-in unifications
	of tuples are performed by the generic unification functions
	in runtime/mercury_ho_call.c and runtime/mercury.c.

library/std_util.m:
	Implement the various RTTI functions for tuples.

	Encode tuple `TypeCtorDesc's in a similar way to that
	used for higher-order types. This has the consequence that the limit
	on the arity of higher-order types is now MAX_VIRTUAL_REG,
	rather than 2*MAX_VIRTUAL_REG.

	Avoid calling MR_GC_free for the type-info vector returned
	from ML_expand() for tuples because unlike the vectors
	for du types, it is not copied.

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Add macros for extracting fields from tuple type-infos.
	These just call the macros for extracting fields from higher-order
	type-infos.

	Add a macro MR_type_ctor_rep_is_variable_arity(), which
	returns TRUE for tuples and higher-order types.

	The distinction between higher-order and first-order types
	is now misnamed -- the distinction is really between fixed arity
	types and builtin variable arity types. I'm not sure whether
	it's worth renaming everything.

runtime/mercury.h:
runtime/mercury.c:
	Define unification and comparison of tuples in
	high-level code grades.

runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h:
runtime/mercury_make_type_info_body.h:
runtime/mercury_tabling.c:
runtime/mercury_unify_compare_body.h:
	Handle tuple types in code which traverses data using RTTI.

c192d50143 Add preliminary support for a new pragma:
Estimated hours taken: 15

Add preliminary support for a new pragma:

:- pragma foreign_code(LanguageString, .... <same args as c_code>).

This is intended to be the eventual replacement of pragma c_code.
Presently the only valid language is "C".
The existing pragma c_code is simply turned into pragma foreign_code.

pragma foreign_code is not a supported pragma at the moment.  There are
several other changes that are intended (for example, foreign_code will
be impure by default).

This change also changes the HLDS goal pragma_c_code/7 to
pragma_foreign_code/8 where the extra argument is the foreign language.

Any code currently generating output for pragma C code simply checks
that the foreign language is set to "c".  Since this is the only
alternative of the type foreign_language, it will always succeed.
However when new alternatives are added it should be fairly easy to find
where the changes need to be made.

Some type names and predicate names have also been updated, however
there are many more that haven't yet been touched.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Accept the new syntax.	Turn the old syntax into the new item.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Change pragma_c_code/7 to pragma_foreign_code/8.
	Define the foreign_language type.

compiler/llds.m:
	Change user_c_code/2 to user_foreign_code/3.

compiler/*.m:
	Update the rest of the compiler to handle these types.
	Make a few small changes to update variable names, predicate
	names and type names.

d551dd1dc9 Handle quantification analysis of bi-implication (`<=>') goals correctly.
Estimated hours taken: 10

Handle quantification analysis of bi-implication (`<=>') goals correctly.
Previously we used to expand bi-implications before doing quantification
analysis, which stuffed up the results of quantification analysis for
those goals.  We need to do quantification analysis first, and only
then can we expand bi-implications.  In addition, elimination of double
negation needs to come after expansion of bi-implication, so I moved
that from make_hlds.m to purity.m.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add a new alternative to the HLDS goal type for bi-implications.
        Also add a new predicate negate_goal, for use by purity.m.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Don't expand bi-implication here, instead just use the new
	bi_implication/2 HLDS goal type.
	Don't eliminated double negation here.

compiler/quantification.m:
	Handle quantification for bi-implications.
	Expand bi-implications.

compiler/purity.m:
	Eliminate double negation.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Add code to print out bi-implication goals.

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
	implemented - Evan has fixed that.

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

	to be consistent with other parts of the reference manual.

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}:

	`aditi_di', `aditi_uo' and `aditi_ui'. Installing extras/aditi/aditi.m
	somewhere would remove the need for these.

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.

Reorganize the handling of global data structures, and expose the table
pointers for tabled predicates to allow the tables to be reset to empty
by hand-written C code for benchmarking purposes.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Introduce a new submodule for dealing with global data.
	At the moment it deals with (a) layout structures and (b)
	tabling pointers.

compiler/continuation_info.m:
	Remove the data structures and predicates whose equivalents are now
	in hlds_module.

compiler/llds.m:
	Introduce a new kind of item, that of compiler-generated variables
	whose value is not defined by rvals. At the moment, the only such
	item is a tabling pointer variable.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Include the new kind of item in the generated LLDS.

compiler/table_gen.m:
	Use the new kind of item instead of a static variable declaration
	in pragma C code to hold the tabling pointer.

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.

986b631dc6 Add code to parse terms from strings rather than from streams.
Estimated hours taken: 24

Add code to parse terms from strings rather than from streams.
The original intention for this change was twofold:
to increase expressiveness and to improve efficiency.
However, for the moment I have given up on the goal of
improving efficiency.

library/io.m:
	Add io__read_file_as_string/{4,5}, for efficiently
	reading a whole file into a single string.
	Add io__read_from_string/5, for reading terms of
	any type from a string.
	(Should that instead be named string__read instead?)

library/string.m:
	Implement string__substring/4 more efficiently,
	using `pragma c_code' rather than by calling
	string__right(string__left(...)).
	Export string__unsafe_index/3, and add new exported
	predicate string__unsafe_substring/4 -- these
	are versions of string__index and string__substring
	that don't check for range errors.  They are
	needed to get reasonable efficiency when dealing
	with very large strings.

library/string.nu.nl:
	Add Prolog implementations of string__substring
	and string__unsafe_substring.

library/lexer.m:
	Add lexer__string_get_token_list/{5,6}, for parsing
	tokens from a string.  This required adding
	`string_' versions of most of the lexical analysis routines.
	XXX lots of code duplication, I'm afraid.
	XXX the string versions are not as efficiency as they
	    could ideally be.

library/parser.m:
	Add new predicates parser__read_term_from_string/{4,6}
	and parser__parse_token_list.

compiler/bytecode_gen.m:
compiler/error_util.m:
compiler/fact_table.m:
compiler/term_errors.m:
	Minor changes to use term__context as an ADT rather than
	as a concrete data type.

In addition, I made the following changes, which I am NOT committing.

compiler/prog_io.m:
	Change to use io__read_file_as_string and
	parser__read_term_from_string.
	(Not committed because the existing method is
	in currently more efficient.)

library/term.m:
	Add new alternative term__detailed_context to the term__context type.
	This alternative can record both the start and end of a term rather
	than just the end.
	(The lexer now has almost all the necessary support for detailed
	contexts, but enabling it would have some potentially significant
	efficiency costs, and curently the parser uses only single contexts
	rather than ranges; so currently this is not used.)

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.

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.

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.

compiler/*.m:
	Change proc_info_{,set_}variables to proc_info_{,set_}varset.

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

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Change the internal representation of termination_info pragmas to
	hold the arg size data and the termination info separately.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Change the external representation of termination_info pragmas to
	group the arg size data together with the output supplier data,
	to which it is logically connected.

compiler/module_qual.m:
compiler/modules.m:
	Change the code to accommodate the change to the internal
	representation of termination_info pragmas.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Fix some documentation rot, and clarify some points.

	Document termination analysis.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document --term-single-arg and the new options.

	Remove spaces from the ends of lines.

library/bag.m:
	Add a new predicate, bag__least_upper_bound.

	Fix code that would do the wrong thing if executed by Prolog.

	Remove spaces from the ends of lines.

library/list.m:
	Add a new predicate, list__take_upto.

library/set{,_ordlist}.m:
	Add a new predicate, set{,_ordlist}__count.

tests/term/*:
	A bunch of new test cases to test the behaviour of termination
	analysis. They are the small benchmark suite from our paper.

tests/Mmakefile:
	Enable the new test case directory.

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.

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.
