307b1dc148 Split up error_util.m into five modules.
compiler/error_spec.m:
    This new module contains the part of the old error_util.m that defines
    the error_spec type, and some functions that can help construct pieces
    of error_specs. Most modules of the compiler that deal with errors
    will need to import only this part of the old error_util.m.

    This change also renames the format_component type to format_piece,
    which matches our long-standing naming convention for variables containing
    (lists of) values of this type.

compiler/write_error_spec.m:
    This new module contains the part of the old error_util.m that
    writes out error specs, and converts them to strings.

    This diff marks as obsolete the versions of predicates that
    write out error specs to the current output stream, without
    *explicitly* specifying the intended stream.

compiler/error_sort.m:
    This new module contains the part of the old error_util.m that
    sorts lists of error specs and error msgs.

compiler/error_type_util.m:
    This new module contains the part of the old error_util.m that
    convert types to format_pieces that generate readable output.

compiler/parse_tree.m:
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
    Include and document the new modules.

compiler/error_util.m:
    The code remaining in the original error_util.m consists of
    general utility predicates and functions that don't fit into
    any of the modules above.

    Delete an unneeded pair of I/O states from the argument list
    of a predicate.

compiler/file_util.m:
    Move the unable_to_open_file predicate here from error_util.m,
    since it belongs here. Mark another predicate that writes
    to the current output stream as obsolete.

compiler/hlds_error_util.m:
    Mark two predicates that wrote out error_spec to the current output
    stream as obsolete, and add versions that take an explicit output stream.

compiler/Mercury.options:
    Compile the modules that call the newly obsoleted predicates
    with --no-warn-obsolete, for the time being.

compiler/*.m:
    Conform to the changes above, mostly by updating import_module
    declarations, and renaming format_component to format_piece.

d787ee9355 Store var_tables in proc_infos.
This fixes the performance problem reported in Mantis bug #562.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    Instead of storing a varset and a vartypes in each proc_info,
    store just a var_table. Update the predicates that create
    or clone procedures accordingly.

    Where we had operations on proc_infos that had two versions,
    one operating on a varset/vartypes pair and one operating on var_table,
    keep only the latter, with the (shorter) name of the former.

    Delete the arity argument of proc_info_init, because the only
    valid value of that argument is the length of the list of the
    argument types. (In other words, this arg has been redundant
    all along.)

    Change the operations that create new variables in a procedure
    to get the caller to specify the (base) name of the new variable
    up front.

    Delete the unused predicate proc_info_ensure_unique_names.

compiler/type_util.m:
    Due to the change above, we now construct var_tables during the
    construction of the HLDS. The code that does that needs to fill in
    the field that says whether the type of each variable in the table
    is a dummy type or not. However, at this time, the pass that decides
    type representations has not been run yet. The code of is_type_a_dummy
    used to throw an exception in such situations.

    Change this so that in such situations, is_type_a_dummy returns
    a placeholder, not-guaranteed-to-be-correct value. Document why
    this is ok.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
    Replace the placeholder values in vte_is_dummy fields in all
    the entries in the var_tables in all (valid) predicates with valid data.
    (If there are any invalid predicates, the compilation will fail anyway.)
    The clause_to_proc pass will copy these updated var_tables
    to be the initial var_tables in procedures.

compiler/make_goal.m:
    Change the operations that create new variables in a procedure
    to get the caller to specify the (base) name of the new variable
    up front. This is simpler than the old method, which created new
    variables without a name, and had the caller give them a name as
    a separate operation. And since var_tables need this info,
    get the caller to also specify whether the type is a dummy,
    if the type is not a builtin type which is known not to be a dummy.

compiler/var_table.m:
    Document the times when the types and is_dummy fields in var_table
    entries become meaningful.

    Fix a potential bug: when performing type substitutions in
    var_table entries, updating a variable's type may change whether
    that variable is a dummy or not, so recompute that info.
    It is quite possible that we *never* replace a nondummy type
    with a dummy type or vice versa, but in the absence of a convincing
    correctness argument for that proposition, better safe than sorry.

    Export the previously-private predicate transform_var_table
    to post_typecheck.

    Add code to implement the unused predicate deleted from hlds_pred.m:
    at the time I wrote it, I haven't yet realised that it was unused.
    The code I wrote here is therefore unused as well, so it is commented out.
    I did not delete it, because it may be useful later on.

    Conform to the changes above. Mostly this means

    - not passing a module_info to get a var_table out of a proc_info, but
    - having to pass a module_info to code that either constructs a var_table,
      or adds entries to a var_table (since we now need the type table
      to figure out whether variables' types are dummies).

4c9d04434a Classify pred_names into four categories.
compiler/pred_name.m:
    Group pred_origins into four categories, giving each category its own
    function symbol. The categories are

    - predicates that contain, or may contain, code directly written
      by the user;
    - predicates created wholly by the compiler,
    - predicates created by the compiler by transforming a predicate, and
    - predicates created by the compiler by transforming a procedure.

    We distinguish between the first two because we want to report
    errors only in user-written code, since reporting an error that
    the user is powerless to fix is not a good idea.

    We distinguish between the last two just to allow us to store
    the proc_id of the transformed procedure next to its pred_id.

compiler/higher_order.m:
    Replace a boolean with value of a bespoke type.

    Rename some predicates to avoid ambiguity.

compiler/*.m:
    Conform to the changes above.

1eb1e239b3 Move the pred_origin type to pred_name.m.
compiler/pred_name.m:
    Add the pred_origin type and its component types, moved here from
    hlds_pred.m and hlds_rtti.m.

    Also, add the functions and predicates that convert pred_origins to
    strings, moved here from hlds_pred.m, hlds_out_util.m and layout_out.m.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    Delete the pred_origin type moved to pred_name.m.

compiler/hlds_rtti.m:
    Delete the instance_method_constraints type moved to pred_name.m.
    It has nothing to do with RTTI, and was not used in hlds_rtti.m itself.
    The only data structure it is part of is pred_origin, though
    it is used as temporary data by a few other modules.

compiler/hlds_out_util.m:
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/layout_out.m:
    Delete the functions and predicates moved to pred_name.m.

compiler/*.m:
    Conform to the change above, mostly by adding imports of pred_name.m,
    in a few cases replacing hlds_pred.m or hlds_rtti.m.

8122e83d2a Record typechecking results in var_tables.
compiler/hlds_clauses.m:
    The clauses_info type used to have two fields whose type is "vartypes".
    One contained type information we knew before typechecking, e.g. from
    explicit "Var : type" annotations, while the other contained the
    *results* of typechecking. Keep the former, but replace the latter
    with a var_table.

    Allow compiler passes that construct clauses to fill in the first field
    with the types of the head variables, because for the clauses of some
    kinds of predicates (such as predicates implementing builtins) that are
    "constructed correct" and do not need typechecking, this is all we need.

    Put the fields of clauses_info that deal with variables and their types
    next to each other, in the order in which they are filled in.

compiler/add_clause.m:
    Don't construct the context pieces needed for parsing mode annotations
    on arguments in the clause head unless the clause head's arguments
    *have* mode annotations, which they virtually never do.

compiler/add_pred.m:
compiler/add_special_pred.m:
    Put the types of the head variables into the var_table in the clauses_info
    we create for clauses for builtin predicates and unify/compare/index
    predicates respectively, for use by unused_imports.m.

compiler/typecheck.m:
    Fill in the var_table field in

    - predicates we have typechecked,
    - predicates for which we have created stub clauses that are
      "born type-correct", and
    - predicates for class methods whose code will be created later,
      during the polymorphism pass.

    In the last case, we fill in only the types of the head variables,
    preserving old behavior.

    Give some predicates more meaningful names. Inline a predicate at its
    only call site.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
    Switch to using the var_tables computed by typechecking.

    Reset varsets in clauses_infos to empty, to tell hlds_out_pred.m
    not use it as the source of variable name info.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    Provide functionality to record the types of head variables
    in both vartypes and in var_tables.

compiler/hlds_out_pred.m:
    Get information about variable names from either the clauses_info's
    varset field (if the varset is nonempty, not yet having been reset
    by post_typecheck.m), or from its var_table field (if the varset
    *has* been reset to empty).

    Likewise, get information about variable types from either the
    clauses_info's var_table field (if it is not empty, having been filled in
    either by typechecking or by code created the type clauses "type-correct"
    at the start), or from its explicit_vartypes field (if the var_table field
    has not yet been filled in).

    It is possible that in the future, we may want to dump out the
    contents of the explicit_vartypes field even if the var_table
    has also been filled in. However, since the old code of write_pred
    had no such functionality, the chance we will need that in the future
    is small, and we can deal with it when the issue does arise.

compiler/goal_path.m:
compiler/hlds_out_goal.m:
compiler/intermod.m:
compiler/unify_proc.m:
    Convert these modules to use var_tables.

compiler/prog_type.m:
compiler/type_util.m:
    Record the fact that the builtin type "store_at_ref_type" is not a dummy
    type. Without this special-casing, the creation of a var_table containing
    a variable of this type would crash the compiler, because

    - unlike other builtin types, this one *has* a definition, in
      private_builtin.m, but
    - since it is a builtin type, its "definition" in the type table
      has no representation information, so the code of is_type_a_dummy
      cannot tell if that "definition" is a dummy or not.

compiler/prog_util.m:
    Provide the var_table equivalent of an existing utility predicate
    for varsets.

compiler/qual_info.m:
    Give a field of the qual_info type a more meaningful name.

compiler/typecheck_errors.m:
    Fix argument order and variable names.

compiler/vartypes.m:
compiler/var_table.m:
    Add a predicate to check whether a variable has a user-given name.

    Replace the varset_vartypes type in vartypes.m with the type_qual type
    in var_table.m, which uses var_tables, since its user, hlds_out_goal.m,
    has been converted to use var_tables. (Most variables of this type
    have been named TypeQual, which is why the type now has that name.)

compiler/inst_graph.m:
    Conform to the changes above.

    Export the definition of the inst_graph_info type, instead of exporting
    a getter and a setter for every one of its fields.

compiler/higher_order.m:
    Conform to the changes above, by calling clauses_info_init,
    instead of repeating its code here.

compiler/accumulator.m:

3f3045c9e2 Get and set varsets/vartypes in proc_infos together.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    We eventually want to replace the varset and vartypes fields in
    each proc_info with a var_table, but it is not practical to do so
    at once; it will have to be done gradually, a few modules at most
    at a time. During this process, we will need a way either

    - to let already converted modules get a var_table out of the proc_info,
      and put an updated var_table back into a proc_info, even though
      proc_infos still contain varset and vartypes fields, or

    - to let not-yet-converted modules get varsets and vartypes out of the
      proc_info, and put updated varsets and vartypes back into a proc_info,
      even though proc_infos already store a var_table.

    The latter cannot be done in two halves (i.e. set the varset half
    of the var_table, and then set its vartypes half), and while the former
    *can* be done that way, it is more efficient to do them at the same time.

    Therefore as a first step, this diff replaces the indiviual getter
    and setter predicates of the varset and vartypes fields of proc_info
    with a getter that gets both and a setter that sets both.

    Put the varset and vartypes next to each other in a structure.

    Conform to the change above.

5cada10369 Rename pred_table to pred_id_table.
compiler/pred_table.m:
    As above. This addresses half of an old XXX, which is that the two types
    defined in this module, predicate_table and pred_table (as it was then)
    should have names that (a) say what they do, and (b) are distinct.
    Addressing the other half requires a more descriptive but not-too-long
    name to replace "predicate_table".

    Rename the predicates that operate on the type to follow the name change.

    Add a distinguishing prefix to the names of the fields of the
    predicate_table type.

    Conform to the change in pred_table.m.

    Refer to values of the renamed type using a consistent naming scheme.

    When the affected code repeats the body of existing helper predicates
    for lookup up a pred_info or proc_info, or updating a proc_info
    inside a pred_info, or updating a pred_info inside a module_info,
    call the helper predicate instead. This makes code shorter and less
    cluttered, and the use of the helper predicates for updates automatically
    ensures that we don't accidentally update a stale version of the relevant
    table. (This has sometimes been a problem in the past.)

    In a few places, carve a new predicate for processing one element
    of a list out of an existing predicate for processing all list elements.

f82a2082e1 Unify and compare terms as MR_Unsigned when possible.
compiler/unify_proc.m:
    We have long generated HLDS code that led to C code such as

        succeeded = ((MR_Integer) X) == ((MR_Integer) Y)

    when the shared type of X and Y is an enum. Generate similar code,
    only with MR_Unsigned, when this type is NOT an enum, but nevertheless
    all values of the type fit into one word, because all the non-constant
    function symbols have all their arguments packed next to the primary tag.

    Likewise, we have long generated HLDS code that compared two values of
    an enum type by casting them to an integer and comparing the integers.
    Do this (again with MR_Unsigned) for a non-enum du type if either

    - it consists of exactly one non-constant functor, all of whose args
      are packed next to the ptag and are comparable as unsigned, or

    - it consists of exactly one constant functor and one non-constant functor,
      with the same condition holding for the args of the latter, if the
      representation of the constant is zero, the representation of
      the non-constant cannot be zero, and the non-constant follows the
      constant in the desired comparison order.

    These are the cases in which cast-to-unsigned-and-compare is guaranteed
    to yield the same results as the code we used to generate. Document why
    the same comparison technique would not work in other cases.

compiler/clause_to_proc.m:
    Both the new optimization and the previous change to unify_proc.m
    do bulk unifications. These require not just that both arguments
    be ground (which we did test), but also that we are in the standard
    <in,in> mode of unification, mode id 0, in which we do NOT know anything
    about the arguments beyond the fact that they are ground.

    If we *do* know e.g. that a field in X must have value Xf but that
    same field in Y must have value Yf, and Xf != Yf, then the semidet
    bulk unification code we generate is wrong; we should generate code
    whose determinism is failure.

    Fix this bug (revealed by thinking about the applicability of the new
    optimization) by using the bulk-comparison version only for mode id 0.

    Don't pass around the module_info, since with the fix we do not need it.

compiler/proc_requests.m:
    Don't pass the module_info to clause_to_proc.m.

8303b503b6 Unify and compare packed args in bulk when possible.
compiler/unify_proc.m:
    Try to optimize the code we generate for unification and comparison
    predicates when a function symbol's arguments include sub-word-sized
    arguments packed together into a word.

    For unify predicates, generate code to test whether the two words
    at the same offset in the terms being unified are equal. This works
    regardless of whether the arguments are signed or unsigned.

    For compare predicates, generate code to compare the two words
    at the same offset in the terms being compared *if* all the arguments
    in the terms being compared are unsigned. This works because we put
    the earlier arguments in the more significant bit positions. But if
    some of the arguments are signed, then divide the argument word
    in sequences of zero or more unsigned arguments separated by signed
    arguments. We then generate code that compares any contiguous sequences
    of unsigned arguments in bulk, while comparing each signed field
    separately.

    Do the bulk unification and comparison via foreign_proc goals generated
    inline. This works only when we are generating C, but this is ok because
    we pack sub-word-sized arguments into a word only when generating C.

    We do the comparison of signed sub-word-sized fields (int8, int16 or int32)
    via foreign_proc goals generated inline as well. Doing them using unify
    goals would work as well, but would be less efficient in general. This is
    because having N such arguments in a function symbols requires storing
    only one value across calls for each term being compared (the term itself)
    when generating foreign_procs, but would require storing N values across
    calls (the values of the sub-word-sized signed arguments) when generating
    unifications. Generating inline foreign_procs is effectively a manual
    application of the optimization implemented by saved_vars.m.

library/private_builtin.m:
    Add the builtin predicates that unify_proc.m now generates calls to.

    We should never need their bodies, but the compiler does need to know
    the declarations of all predicates mentioned in inline foreign_procs.

configure.ac:
runtime/mercury_conf.h.in:
    Define either MR_MERCURY_IS_32_BITS or MR_MERCURY_IS_64_BITS depending
    on the word size. Make the configured value of MR_BITS_PER_WORD available
    to C code.

mdbcomp/program_representation.m:
    Register the new builtin predicates as no_typeinfo_builtins, i.e.
    builtins whose arguments' types contain type variables, that nevertheless
    should *not* be passed the typeinfos of the actual types bound to those
    type variables.

compiler/hlds_clauses.m:
    Bulk unification of arguments works only when all the arguments involved
    are initially ground. The optimized unification clauses we can now generate
    are thus appropriate only for <in,in> unifications. (Technically, they
    *would* work for unifications for which the function symbol arguments
    involved in bulk unify operations are ground even if some other arguments
    are initially free, but that distinction is too hard to make, compared
    to the extremely small performance gain that would be available
    if we *could* make that distinction.)

    Provide a way for unify_proc.m to mark a clause as being for use either
    in the <in,in> modes of unifications (for the optimized version using bulk
    unifications), or as in all other modes of unifications (for a version in
    which that optimization has been disabled).

    Replace two boolean fields in clauses_infos with bespoke types, for
    greater readability and reliability. These are a remnant of a different
    way to differentiate <in,in> vs non-<in,in> clauses that I ultimately
    decided against. These bespoke types are independent of the main change
    in this diff, but there is no reason to undo their use.

compiler/clause_to_proc.m:
    When copying clauses to procedure bodies inside type-specific unify
    predicates, pay attention to the markers that unify_proc.m put on
    those clauses about which are for <in,in> modes and which are for
    non-<in,in> modes.

    To make this possible, make our callers pass us extra information.

compiler/options.m:

    try to apply the new optimization.

12eb32ac1d Make clause_to_proc a separate pass.
Copying goals from clauses to procedures has to be done after type checking
(which operates on predicates) but before mode checking (which operates on
procedures). Previously, this copying was done within one of the passes
between type and mode checking, to reduce the overall number of passes.
For many years now, it was done within the polymorphism pass.

However, this arrangement has two undesirable consequences.

The first, which was the reason for this change, is that it makes it
much harder to see the effects of the polymorphism pass in HLDS dumps,
since the difference between HLDS dumps before and after the polymorphism
pass contains not just the effects of the polymorphism transformation itself,
but also the population of the goal fields of proc_infos.

The second, which I discovered while doing the change, is that the
polymorphism pass itself is split. It does the vast bulk of its work
before copying clauses to procs, but it does leave some tasks to be done
*after* copying clauses to procs. I don't *know* whether this is
by design or by accident, but I strongly suspect the latter.

compiler/mercury_compile_front_end.m:
    Make copying clauses to procedures its own pass.

    Make the part of polymorphism that runs *after* copying clauses
    to procedures its own pass as well.

compiler/clause_to_proc.m:
    Add a predicate that mercury_compile_front_end can call to do its job
    on every predicate in the module. The setup we use for imported procedures
    is the same as what polymorphism.m used to do for such procedures.

    Make some predicate names more specific.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
    Don't copy clauses to procs in the middle of the polymorphism
    transformation.

    Add a predicate that mercury_compile_front_end.m can call to do the
    post-copying part of the polymorphism transformation.

95ff02b1bf Add options to check the ordering of module contents.
One option, --warn-non-contiguous-decls, generates warnings if the
mode declarations of a predicate or function aren't in a contiguous block
immediately following the pred or func declaration. Since this is a rare
kind of "style error", this option is enabled by default.

Two options, --warn-inconsistent-pred-order-clauses and
--warn-inconsistent-pred-order-foreign-procs, warn about inconsistencies
between (a) the order in which predicates (and functions) are declared,
and (b) the order in which they are defined. The two options differ in
their scope. The latter applies to all predicates and functions defined
in the module, while the former applies only to those whose definitions
include Mercury clauses.

Since an exported predicate or function may need nonexported auxiliary
predicates and/or functions, imposing a single order the declarations and
definitions of *all* the predicates and functions in a module is not a good
idea. Instead, both options divide the predicates and functions defined
in a module two groups, the exported and the nonexported, and expect
a consistent order only within each group.

The result is output that looks like this:

    time.m:021: Warning: the order of the declarations and definitions of the
    time.m:021:   exported predicates is inconsistent, as shown by this diff:
    time.m:021:

modules, which are each imported by fewer modules than prog_data.m itself.

compiler/vartypes.m:
    New module containing the vartypes type and the predicates that operate
    on it. The new module has *much* better cohesion than the old prog_data.m.

    The vartypes type does not appear in any parse tree; it is used only
    in the HLDS. So make vartypes.m part of the hlds.m package, not
    parse_tree.m.

    Move three predicates that perform renamings and substitutions on vartypes
    here from prog_type_subst.m, since the latter is part of the parse_tree.m
    package, and thus doesn't have access to hlds.vartypes. Make private
    the service predicate that these three moved predicates used to rely on,
    since it has no other callers.

compiler/prog_detism.m:
    New module containing utility predicates that operate on determinisms
    and determinism components.

compiler/prog_rename.m:
    New module containing utility predicates that rename variables in
    various data structures.

compiler/prog_data.m:
    Remove the stuff now in the three new modules.

compiler/prog_type_subst.m:
    Remove the three predicates now in vartypes.m.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
    Delete an unneded predicate, which was the only part of this module
    that referred to vartypes.

compiler/prog_type.m:
compiler/builtin_lib_types.m:
compiler/type_util.m:
    Move some utility predicates that refer to vartypes from prog_type.m
    and builtin_lib_types.m (both part of parse_tree.m) to type_util.m
    (part of check_hlds.m).

efb56544ed Speed up pred_info's setter predicates a bit.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    If the new value of a field of pred_info is likely to be bit-identical
    to the old value, then test the old and new bits for equality in the
    setter, and if they are the same, do not allocate a new pred_info
    structure that is guaranteed to be the same as the old one.

    By avoiding unnecessary memory turnover, this speeds up the compiler a bit,
    though I cannot nail down by how much. I measured it several times, with
    the results being no change, a speedup of 1%, and a speedup of 2%.

    Remove the unused setter predicate for the attributes field.

    Rename some access predicates to pred_infos to better reflect what they do.

    Add a distinguishing prefix to the fields of pred_infos.

1e184398f0 Fix the has_parallel_conj field of generated procedures (Mantis bug 351).
The event sequence that lead to the compiler abort in Mantis 351 was:

1 With -O5 --intermod-opt, the loop invariant optimization finds a loop
  invariant in the pos_mul_karatsuba predicate in library/integer.m.

2 To create the inner predicate (the one that has the already-computed
  invariant passed to it), it tries to make a copy of the original predicate,
  but sets the has_parallel_conj field of the new proc's proc_info to the
  default value, which is has_no_parallel_conj.

3 A later compiler pass has the task of (in par grades) adding synchronization
  to parallel conjunctions, and (in non-par grades) converting the parallel
  conjunctions to sequential. However, due to the has_no_parallel_conj flag
  in the proc_info, it thinks it has no work to do. It therefore leaves the
  parallel conjunction intact.

4 The pre-code-generation simplification pass traverses the entire body of
  the predicate, and, seeing a parallel conjunction, puts a has_parallel_conj
  flag on the proc_info.

5 generate_proc_code sees this flag, but since the target grade is not
  parallel, it ignores the flag. Since debugging is not enabled either,
  it does NOT create a ContainingGoalMap. (The debugger and parallel
  conjunctions are the two things that need this map.)

6 When trying to create the id for the parallel conjunction, par_conj_gen.m
  looks for the ContainingGoalMap. Not finding it, it aborts.

The problem arises in step 2, and the main part of the bug fix is to step 2.
However, it adds a sanity check to step 5 as well, to make any such problems
easier to diagnose in the future.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    Require callers of proc_info_create and similar predicates to specify
    whether the new procedure has parallel conjunctions or not.

    Arrange the code of these predicates so that all the fields in the
    proc_info are filled in with variables whose names say what they stand
    for. Previously, many of the fields were just "no" or "[]", not saying
    what `maybe' type or list there was no information for.

    Put these variables in the same order as the fields.

    Add a XXX about the possibility of similar bugs.

compiler/loop_inv.m:
    When creating the inner procedure (and its containing predicate),
    pass the has_parallel_conj flag of the original predicate. This is
    the actual bug fix.

compiler/par_conj_gen.m:
    Improve some comments.

compiler/parallel_to_plain_conj.m:
    Set a procedure's flag to has_no_parallel_conj right after eliminating
    all the parallel conjunctions in it.

compiler/proc_gen.m:
    Add a sanity check: if a procedure has has_parallel_conj, then require
    that the grade be a parallel grade.

b86f973fa9 Allow the use of Mercury abstract machine float registers for passing
Branches: main

Allow the use of Mercury abstract machine float registers for passing
double-precision float arguments in higher order calls.

In of itself this is not so useful for typical Mercury code.  However, as
all non-local procedures are potentially the targets of higher order calls,
without this change first order calls to non-local procedures could not use
float registers either.  That is the actual motivation for this change.

The basic mechanism is straightforward.  As before, do_call_closure_* is
invoked to place the closure's hidden arguments into r1, ..., rN, and extra
input arguments shifted into rN+1, etc.  With float registers, extra input
arguments may also be in f1, f2, etc. and the closure may also have hidden
float arguments.  Optimising for calls, we order the closure's hidden
arguments so that all float register arguments come after all regular
register arguments in the vector.  Having the arguments out of order does
complicate code which needs to deconstruct closures, but that is not so
important.

Polymorphism complicates things.  A closure with type pred(float) may be
passed to a procedure expecting pred(T).  Due to the `float' argument type,
the closure expects its argument in a float register.  But when passed to the
procedure, the polymorphic argument type means it would be called with the
argument in a regular register.

Higher-order insts already contain information about the calling convention,
without which a higher-order term cannot be called.  We extend higher-order
insts to include information about the register class required for each
argument.  For example, we can distinguish between:

	pred(in) is semidet /* arg regs: [reg_f] */
and
	pred(in) is semidet /* arg regs: [reg_r] */

Using this information, we can create a wrapper around a higher-order
variable if it appears in a context requiring a different calling convention.
We do this in a new HLDS pass, called float_regs.m.

Note: Mercury code has a tendency to lose insts for higher-order terms, then
"recover" them by hacky means.  The float_regs pass depends on higher-order
insts; it is impossible to create a wrapper for a procedure without knowing
how to call it.  The float_regs pass will report errors which we otherwise
accepted, due to higher-order insts being unavailable.  It should be possible
for the user to adjust the code to satisfy the pass, though the user may not
understand why it should be necessary.  In most cases, it probably really
*is* unnecessary.  We may be able to make the float_regs pass more tolerant
of missing higher-order insts in the future.

Class method calls do not use float registers because I didn't want to deal
with them yet.


compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
	Always enable float registers in low-level C grades when floats are
	wider than a word.

compiler/make_hlds_passes.m:
	Always allow double word floats to be stored unboxed in cells on C
	grades.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add an extra field to `generic_call' which gives the register class
	to use for each argument.  This is set by the float_regs pass.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add an extra field to `pred_inst_info' which records the register class
	to use for each argument.  This is set by the float_regs pass.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add a field to `proc_sub_info' which lists the headvars which must be
	passed via regular registers despite their types.

	Add a field to `pred_sub_info' to record the original unsubstituted
	argument types for instance method predicates.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	In the pred_info of an instance method predicate, record the original
	argument types before substituting the type variables for the instance.

compiler/float_regs.m:
compiler/transform_hlds.m:
	Add the new HLDS pass.

compiler/mercury_compile_middle_passes.m:
	Run the new pass if float registers are enabled.

compiler/lambda.m:
	Export the predicate to produce a predicate from a lambda.
	This is reused by float_regs.m to create wrapper closures.

	Add an argument to `expand_lambda' to set the reg_r_headvars field on
	the newly created procedure.

	Delete some unused fields from `lambda_info'.

compiler/arg_info.m:
	Make `generate_proc_arg_info' no longer always use regular registers
	for calls to exported procedures.  Do always use regular registers for
	class methods calls.

	Add a version of `make_arg_infos' which takes an explicit list of
	argument registers.  Rename the previous version.

	Add `generic_call_arg_reg_types' to return the argument registers
	for a generic call.

	Add a version of `compute_in_and_out_vars' which additionally separates
	arguments for float and regular registers.

compiler/call_gen.m:
	Use float registers for argument passing in higher-order calls, as
	directed by the new field in `generic_call'.

compiler/code_util.m:
	Add a function to encode the number of regular and float register
	arguments when making a higher-order call.

compiler/llds.m:
	Say that the `do_call_closure_N' functions only work for zero float
	register arguments.

compiler/follow_vars.m:
compiler/interval.m:
	Account for the use of float registers by generic call goals in these
	passes.

compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Move float register arguments to the end of a closure's hidden
	arguments vector, after regular register arguments.

	Count hidden regular and float register arguments separately, but
	encode them in the same word in the closure.  This is preferable to
	using two words because it reduces the differences between grades
	with and without float registers present.

	Disable generating code which creates a closure from an existing
	closure, if float registers exist.  That code does not understand the
	reordered hidden arguments vector yet.

compiler/continuation_info.m:
	Replace an argument's type_info in the closure layout if the argument
	is a float *and* is passed via a regular register, when floats are
	normally passed via float registers.  Instead, give it the type_info
	for `private_builtin.float_box'.

compiler/builtin_lib_types.m:
	Add function to return the type of `private_builtin.float_box/0'.

compiler/hlds_out_goal.m:
compiler/hlds_out_pred.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Dump the new fields added to `generic_call', `pred_inst_info' and
	`proc_sub_info'.

compiler/prog_type.m:
	Add helper predicate.

compiler/*.m:
	Conform to changes.

library/private_builtin.m:
	Add a type `float_box'.

runtime/mercury_ho_call.h:
	Describe the modified closure representation.

	Rename the field which counts the number of hidden arguments to prevent
	it being used incorrectly, as it now encodes two numbers (potentially).

	Add macros to unpack the encoded field.

runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
	Update the description of how higher-order calls work.

	Update code which extracts closure arguments to take account the
	arguments being reordered in the hidden arguments vector.

runtime/mercury_deep_copy.c:
runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h:
runtime/mercury_layout_util.c:
runtime/mercury_ml_expand_body.h:
	Update code which extracts closure arguments to take account the
	arguments being reordered in the hidden arguments vector.

runtime/mercury_type_info.c:
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Add helper function.

	Update the generated do_call_closure_* functions to place float
	register arguments.

d00ea69529 Switch from using set(prog_var), which is represented using set_ordlist,
Estimated hours taken: 12
Branches: main

Switch from using set(prog_var), which is represented using set_ordlist,
to set_of_progvar, which is represented using tree_bitset, for most sets
of variables in the compiler, including the nonlocals sets in goal_infos.

This diff yields about a 5% speedup when compiling the training_cars_full.m
stress test, but also about a 1% slowdown on tools/speedtest. Both of these
are with the current default state in which tree_bitset is compiled with
a whole bunch of sanity checks. If these are disabled, we get roughly a 1%
speedup on tools/speedtest. I intend to disable those sanity checks after
a shakedown period of a week or two in which the updated version of the
compiler is installed on our platforms.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Replace almost all occurrences of set(prog_var) with set_of_progvar.
	The main exceptions are the types supporting rbmm.

compiler/set_of_var.m:

	Fix deviations from our programming style.

b3fa535100 A rewrite of the state variable transformation from the ground up.
Estimated hours taken: 60
Branches: main

A rewrite of the state variable transformation from the ground up.

The initial aim was to avoid situations (encountered in the g12 project)
in which the old state variable transformation generated code that
did not satisfy the mode checker, due to unnecessary unifications.
The new system tries hard to minimize the number of unifications added to the
program. It does this by relying extensively on the idea that in a branched
structure such as an disjunction, if two branches both update the same state
variable, and the variables representing the last state of the state variable
in the two branches are (say) X and Y, and we pick X to represent the current
state after the disjunction, then we don't have to put the assignment X := Y
into the second branch; instead, we can RENAME Y to X in that branch.
To avoid renaming a goal several times (for itself, for its parent, for its
grandparent etc), we delay all renamings until the end, when we do it all
in one traversal.

The old state var system was opaque and hard to understand, partly because
its basic operations did different things in different contexts. The new system
is a much more direct expression of the intuitive meaning of state variables;
it keeps track of their state much as the programmer writing the original code
would. It should therefore be significantly easier to understand and to modify
in the future.

The new system can also detect more kinds of errors in the use of state
variables. For example it can discover that some branches of a disjunction or
if-then-else set the initial value of a state variable and some do not.
This is ok if the non-setting-branch cannot succeed; if it can, then it is
a bug. We therefore generate messages about such branches, but print them
only if mode analysis finds a bug in the procedure, since in that case,
the lack of initialization may be the cause of the bug.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Replaced an old example that didn't know what it was talking about,
	and thoroughly confused the issue of what is legal use of state
	variables and what is not.

compiler/state_var.m:
	Rewrite this module along the lines mentioned above.

compiler/options.m:
	Add two new options. One, warn-state-var-shadowing, controls whether
	we generate warnings for one state var shadowing another (which
	G12 has lots of). The other, --allow-defn-for-builtins, is for
	developers only; it is needed to bootstrap changes that add new
	builtins. I needed this for a form of the state variable transformation
	that used calls to a new builtin predicate to copy the values of state
	variables in branches that did not modify them, even though other
	branches did. I ultimately used unifications to do this copying,
	for reasons documented in state_var.m.

compiler/add_clause.m:
compiler/add_pragma.m:
	Respect the new --allow-defn-for-builtins option.
	(Previously, we changed the code that now looks up the value of the
	option.)

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document the --warn-state-var-shadowing option.

	Fix some old documentation about dump options.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Fix an old oversight: list the predicates in table_builtin.m that may
	have calls introduced to them by table_gen.m.

compiler/superhomogeneous.m:
compiler/field_access.m:
compiler/add_clause.m:
compiler/goal_expr_to_goal.m:
	Together with state_var.m, these modules contain the transformation
	from the parse tree to the HLDS. Since the change to state_var.m
	involves significant changes in its interface (such as separating out
	the persistent and location-dependent aspects of the information needed
	by the state variable transformation), and needing callbacks at
	different points than the old transformation, these modules had to
	change extensively as well to conform.

	goal_expr_to_goal.m is a new module carved out of add_clause.m.
	It deserves a module of its own because its code has a significantly
	different purpose than add_clause.m. The two separate modules each
	have much better cohesion than the old conjoined module did.

	In superhomogeneous.m, replace two predicates that did the same thing
	with one predicate.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html.m:
	Mention the new module.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add a mechanism to do the kind of incremental renaming that the state
	variable transformation needs.

	Add some utility predicates needed by the new code in other modules.

compiler/hlds_clause.m:
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add an extra piece of information to clauses and proc_infos:
	a list of informational messages generated by the state variable
	transformation about some branches of branched goals not giving initial
	values to some state variables, while other branches do.

	The state variable transformation fills in this field in clauses
	where relevant.

compiler/clause_to_proc.m:
	Copy this list of messages from clauses to proc_infos.

compiler/modes.m:
	When generating an error message for a procedure, include this list
	of messages from the state var transformation in the output.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Add a dump alias for debugging the state var transformation.

compiler/hlds_out_goal.m:
	Add a predicate that is useful in trace messages when debugging
	the compiler.

compiler/hlds_out_pred.m:
	Print goal path and goal id information in clauses as well as
	proc_infos, since the state var transformation now uses goal ids.

compiler/prog_item.m:
	In lists of quantified vars in scope headers, separate out the vars
	introduced as !S from those introduced as !.S and !:S. This makes it
	easier for the state var transformation to handle them.

	Document that we expect lists of quantified variables and state
	variables to contain no duplicates. The state var transformation
	is slightly simpler if we impose this requirement, and quantifying
	a variable twice in the same scope does not make sense, and is
	therefore almost certainly an error.

	Generate error messages when a variable or state variable IS
	listed twice in the same quantification list.

	Factor out some code used to generate error messages.

543fc6e342 Change the way the typechecker iterates over the predicates of the program.
Estimated hours taken: 12
Branches: main

Change the way the typechecker iterates over the predicates of the program.
We used to do it by looking up each predicate in the module_info,
typechecking it, and putting it back into the module_info. We now do it
by converting the predicate table into a list, iterating over the list
transforming each pred_info in it, converting the updated list back to
a predicate table.

The original intention of this change was to allow different predicates
to be typechecked in parallel by removing a synchronization bottleneck:
the typechecking of a predicate now doesn't have to wait for the typechecking
of the previous predicate to generate the updated version of the module_info.
However, it turned out that the change is good for sequential execution
as well, improving the time on tools/speedtest from 11.33 seconds to 11.08
seconds, a speedup of 2.2%. On tools/speedtest -l, which tests the compilation
of more modules, the speedup is even better: 3.1% (from 32.63 to 31.60s).

c509c49bdc Add a mechanism for generating warnings when the various clauses of a predicate
Estimated hours taken: 24
Branches: main

Add a mechanism for generating warnings when the various clauses of a predicate
or function are not contiguous.

This mechanism consists of two options:

	--warn-non-contiguous-clauses
	--warn-non-contiguous-foreign-procs

The first option generates warnings when the Mercury clauses of a predicate
or function are not contiguous, but it ignores any foreign_procs of that
predicate or function, and thus allows these to be away from the Mercury
clauses and each other. This option is enabled by default.

The second option generating warnings unless both the Mercury clauses and
all the foreign_procs of the predicate or function are all contiguous.
This option is not enabled by default, because many library modules
group foreign_procs not by predicate, but by foreign language. (All C foreign
procs for a group of predicates, then all the Java foreign procs for that group
of predicates, etc.)

compiler/hlds_clauses.m:
	Store, next to the representation of each clause list, information
	about the locations (item numbers and context) of the clauses.
	We store two versions of this information, one version for each option.

	Make the predicates that access the clause list access the location
	information as well, to ensure that any code that adds clauses also
	records their location.

	Add a predicate that tests for non-contiguity.

	Add a specific type to represent the modes that a clause applies to.
	This replaces the error-prone scheme we used to use that represented
	the notion "this clause applies to all modes" with an empty list of
	modes. This allows us to remove the code in add_pragma.m that used
	to replace these empty lists with the list of actual modes they
	represented.

	Change the prefix on the fields of clauses_info to avoid ambiguities.
	Add a prefix to the names of the function symbols of the clauses_rep
	type to avoid ambiguities.

compiler/add_clause.m:
compiler/add_pragma.m:
	When adding Mercury clauses and pragma foreign_procs to a predicate or
	function, record the location of the clause or foreign_procs. We do so
	even if the clause or foreign_proc is overridden by another. For
	example, when compiling to C, a Mercury clause overrides an Erlang
	foreign_proc, and a C foreign_proc overrides a Mercury clause.

	Fix an old bug where a foreign_proc that should override Mercury
	clauses overrode only one Mercury clause, and left the others
	in the predicate, to yield a disjunction with some Mercury disjuncts
	and a foreign_proc disjunct. This disjunction would then yield
	determinism errors if it had outputs.

	The new code that fixes the bug has a much more direct implicit
	correctness argument, and should be significantly easier to understand.
	It also avoids doing unnecessary work. (The old code could make a
	decision to ignore a clause, yet still proceed to transform it,
	just to ignore the result of the transformation.)

Estimated hours taken: 5
Branches: main

Fix the failure of the invalid/modes_erroneous test case, whose symptom was
an error message about a "mode error in unification of `X' and `X'".
The root cause of the problem was that the renaming of head variables
computed by headvar_names.m was being applied too early, during typechecking.
The fix is to apply it after the frontend (all the passes that can generate
error messages).

To avoid slowdowns from larger pred_infos, this diff also moves the least
frequently used fields of pred_infos to a subterm. (Proc_infos already had
a subterm.) This leads to an almost 3% speedup.

compiler/headvar_names.m:
	Store the renaming instead of applying it.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Apply the renaming in invocations after the front end, since doing so
	may allow some excess assignments to be eliminated.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add fields to pred_infos and proc_infos for the renaming.

	Move the least frequently used fields of pred_infos into a
	pred_sub_info.

	Some fields of pred_infos were being accessed using predicates
	that did not follow our naming conventions, and some were accessed
	using field access functions that are now inappropriate; fix them all.

	Require the caller to provide the renaming when creating new pred_infos
	and proc_infos. This is to force the compiler components that do this
	to propagate the renaming fields of the original predicates and/or
	procedures to their modified versions.

	Convert that some old code that used if-then-elses to use switches
	instead.

b56885be93 Fix a bug that caused bootchecks with --optimize-constructor-last-call to fail.
Estimated hours taken: 12
Branches: main

Fix a bug that caused bootchecks with --optimize-constructor-last-call to fail.

The problem was not in lco.m, but in follow_code.m. In some cases,
(specifically, the LCMC version of insert_2 in sparse_bitset.m),
follow_code.m moved an impure goal (store_at_ref) into the arms of an
if-then-else without marking those arms, or the if-then-else, as impure.
The next pass, simplify, then deleted the entire if-then-else, since it
had no outputs. (The store_at_ref that originally appeared after the
if-then-else was the only consumer of its only output.)

The fix is to get follow_code.m to make branched control structures such as
if-then-elses, as well as their arms, semipure or impure if a goal being moved
into them is semipure or impure, or if they came from an semipure or impure
conjunction.

Improve the optimization of the LCMC version of sparse_bitset.insert_2, which
had a foreign_proc invocation of bits_per_int in it: replace such invocations
with a unification of the bits_per_int constant if not cross compiling.

Add a new option, --optimize-constructor-last-call-null. When set, LCMC will
assign NULLs to the fields not yet filled in, to avoid any junk happens to be
there from being followed by the garbage collector's mark phase.

This diff also makes several other changes that helped me to track down
the bug above.

compiler/follow_code.m:
	Make the fix described above.

	Delete all the provisions for --prev-code; it won't be implemented.

	Don't export a predicate that is not now used anywhere else.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Make the optimization described above.

compiler/lco.m:
	Make sure that the LCMC specialized procedure is a predicate, not a
	function: having a function with the mode LCMC_insert_2(in, in) = in
	looks wrong.

	To avoid name collisions when a function and a predicate with the same
	name and arity have LCMC applied to them, include the predicate vs
	function status of the original procedure included in the name of the
	new procedure.

	Update the sym_name of calls to LCMC variants, not just the pred_id,
	because without that, the HLDS dump looks misleading.

compiler/pred_table.m:
	Don't have optimizations like LCMC insert new predicates at the front
	of the list of predicates. Maintain the list of predicates in the
	module as a two part list, to allow efficient addition of new pred_ids
	at the (logical) end without using O(N^2) algorithms. Having predicates
	in chronological order makes it easier to look at HLDS dumps and
	.c files.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Make module_info_predids return a module_info that is physically
	updated though logically unchanged.

compiler/options.m:
	Add --optimize-constructor-last-call-null.

	Make the options --dump-hlds-pred-id, --debug-opt-pred-id and
	--debug-opt-pred-name into accumulating options, to allow the user
	to specify more than one predicate to be dumped (e.g. insert_2 and
	its LCMC variant).

	Delete --prev-code.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document the changes in options.m.

compiler/code_info.m:
	Record the value of --optimize-constructor-last-call-null in the
	code_info, to avoid lookup at every cell construction.

compiler/unify_gen.m:
compiler/var_locn.m:
	When deciding whether a cell can be static or not, make sure that
	we never make static a cell that has some fields initialized with
	dummy zeros, to be filled in for real later.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	For goals that are semipure or impure, note this fact. This info was
	lost when I changed the representation of impurity from markers to a
	field.

mdbcomp/prim_data.m:
	Rename some ambiguous function symbols.

compiler/intermod.m:
compiler/trans_opt.m:
	Rename the main predicates (and some function symbols) of these modules
	to avoid ambiguity and to make them more expressive.

compiler/llds.m:
	Don't print line numbers for foreign_code fragments if the user has
	specified --no-line-numbers.

compiler/make.dependencies.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
compiler/recompilation.usage.m:
	Don't use io.write to write out information to files we may need to
	parse again, because this is vulnerable to changes to the names of
	function symbols (e.g. the one to mdbcomp/prim_data.m).

	The compiler still contains some uses of io.write, but they are
	for debugging. I added an item to the todo list of the one exception,
	ilasm.m.

compiler/recompilation.m:
	Rename a misleading function symbol name.

compiler/parse_tree.m:
	Don't import recompilation.m here. It is not needed (all the components
	of parse_tree that need recompilation.m already import it themselves),
	and deleting the import avoids recompiling almost everything when

ba93a52fe7 This diff changes a few types from being defined as equivalent to a pair
Estimated hours taken: 10
Branches: main

This diff changes a few types from being defined as equivalent to a pair
to being discriminated union types with their own function symbol. This
was motivated by an error message (one of many, but the one that broke
the camel's back) about "-" being used in an ambiguous manner. It will
reduce the number of such messages in the future, and will make compiler
data structures easier to inspect in the debugger.

The most important type changed by far is hlds_goal, whose function symbol
is now "hlds_goal". Second and third in importance are llds.instruction
(function symbol "llds_instr") and prog_item.m's item_and_context (function
symbol "item_and_context"). There are some others as well.

In several places, I rearranged predicates to factor the deconstruction of
goals into hlds_goal_expr and hlds_goal_into out of each clause into a single
point. In many places, I changed variable names that used "Goal" to refer
to just hlds_goal_exprs to use "GoalExpr" instead. I also changed variable
names that used "Item" to refer to item_and_contexts to use "ItemAndContext"
instead. This should make reading such code less confusing.

I renamed some function symbols and predicates to avoid ambiguities.

I only made one algorithmic change (at least intentionally).
In assertion.m, comparing two goals for equality now ignores goal_infos
for all kinds of goals, whereas previously it ignored them for most kinds
of goals, but for shorthand goals it was insisting on them being equal.
This seemed to me to be a bug. Pete, can you confirm this?

Estimated hours taken: 14
Branches: main

Add a new data structure, called an proc_arg_vector, to the compiler that is
intended to encapsulate the argument passing conventions that we use.
(Primarily those described in the comments at the head of polymorphism.m).
The intention is to use this new data structure everywhere we currently use
lists to represent procedure and call site argument information.

This change adds the new data structure plus supporting utility predicates.
It also begins the task of moving the code in the compiler over to the new
data structure.  Specifically, this diff changes the headvars field in the
clauses_info structure into a proc_arg_vector.

The spots marked XXX ARGVEC will need to be further modified once the
proc_info structure has been modified to use proc_arg_vectors.

compiler/hlds_args.m:
	New module.  This module defines the proc_arg_vector structure that
	will eventually be used to represent procedure and call site
	argument information throughout the compiler.  It also defines some
	utility procedures that operate on that data structure.

compiler/hlds.m:
	Include the new module in the HLDS package.

compiler/hlds_clauses.m:
	Modify the clauses_info structure to represent clause arguments as
	proc_arg_vectors rather than lists.

	Adapt the predicates that initialise the clauses_info structure so
	that they correctly handle the proc_arg_vector structure's
	representation
	of function return values.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Use the proc_arg_vector data structure when introducing type_infos
	and typeclass_info arguments into the heads of clauses.

	Note: the new representation of procedure arguments should allow this
	module to be simplified but that will be done as a separate change.

2b2f3d3cbe This diff contains no algorithmic changes.
Estimated hours taken: 8
Branches: main

This diff contains no algorithmic changes. It merely renames apart a bunch of
function symbols to reduce ambiguity. Basically I went through prog_data.m,
prog_item.m, hlds_data.m, hlds_goal.m and hlds_pred.m looking for type
definitions containing function symbol names that were either language
"keywords" (e.g. "terminates", which is an annotation on foreign_procs),
used with slightly different meanings in several types (e.g. "sym"),
or both (e.g. "call"). When I found such type definitions, I changed the
names of the function symbols, usually by adding a prefix or suffix
indicating the type to all function symbols of the type. For example,
the old function symbol "foreign_proc" in type "pragma_type" is now named
"pragma_foreign_proc", and the names of all other function symbols in that
type also start with "pragma_".

All of this should yield simpler compiler error messages when we make mistakes,
and will make it more likely that looking up a function symbol using a tags
file will take you to the actual definition of the relevant instance of that
function symbol. However, the most important benefit is the increase in
the readability of unfamiliar code; the reader won't have to emulate the
compiler's type ambiguity resolution algorithm (which in many cases used to
require distinguishing between f/14 and f/15 by counting the arguments,
e.g. for "pred_or_func").
