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.

4ea9695030 Move predicates that find modules' files to find_module.m.
compiler/file_util.m:
compiler/find_module.m:
    As above. Users may specify a module by its module name or
    by its file name, but having the predicates that search
    for a module's source, interface or optimization files by file name
    be in file_util.m while similar predicates that search by module name
    be in find_module.m is suboptimal, since it prevents factoring out
    any commonalities, and makes it harder to spot things that *should*
    be common but arent't.

243491523d Stop counting errors in module_infos.
Over time, we have almost completely switched over to using error_specs,
using their severity (if not yet printed out) and their effect on the
exit status (if already printed out) to represent the presence of errors,
leaving only a few places that either updated or paid attention to the
num_error field in the module_info. This diff completes that process.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
    Delete the num_errors field in the module_info, and the predicates
    that operate on it.

compiler/hlds_error_util.m:
    Delete module_info arguments whose only purpose was to update the
    now-delete field.

compiler/error_util.m:
    Delete the old write_error_spec predicates that updated a count of warnings
    and a count of errors.

    Rename the write_error_spec_ignore predicates, which ignored those counts,
    by deleting the "_ignore" from their names. This makes them take the
    place of the deleted predicates.

1927c8ee21 Separate always_treat_as_first from treat_as_first.
compiler/error_util.m:
    The internal operation of formatting error messages requires knowing
    whether an error_msg should be treated as the first message, or not.
    (First messages get indented 1 space; other messages get indented by 3.)
    We use the treat_at_first type for this.

    In the past, we also used this type in error_msgs themselves, but there,
    one of the alternatives of the type, do_not_treat_as_first, is misleading.
    Such messages will in fact be treated as first if they are in fact
    the first error_msg in an error_spec, which happens quite frequently,
    since *most* error_specs contain only one error_msg.

    This diff therefore defines a new type, always_treat_as_first,
    whose two values have names that *accurately* reflect their meaning:
    always_treat_as_first, and treat_based_on_posn. Make all code outside
    error_util.m itself use this type; restrict the use of the treat_as_first
    type to just the code that does error message formatting.

c2f92d5454 Partition extensions into ".m" and "all others".
This is a first step towards a much finer grained partition.

compiler/file_names.m:
    Split the ext type into ext_src and ext_other, as mentioned above.

    Add the first predicate for checking whether a string falls into
    a given category of extensions.

    Add an XXX proposing a better solution for an old problem that does not
    actually arise in practice.

compiler/compile_target_code.m:
    Split the two-moded predicate maybe_pic_object_file_extension into
    two separate one-mode predicates, one for each old mode. The
    implementations of the two modes were already separate, because
    the two modes already did different jobs: while one went from PIC
    to an "extension", the other went from an "extension string" to PIC.
    Until now, "extension" and "extension string" were equivalent;
    after this diff, they aren't anymore.

    Delete an unused argument.

compiler/make.util.m:
    Split the two-moded predicate target_extension into
    two separate one-mode predicates, one for each old mode,
    for the same reason as maybe_pic_object_file_extension above:
    the fact that "extension" and "extension string" are now distinct.

compiler/options_file.m:
    Move debug infrastructure here from mercury_compile_main.m, to help
    debug possible problems with options files. (I had such a problem
    while writing this diff.)

    Improve how progress messages are printed.

compiler/options.m:
    Make an error message more useful.

compiler/mercury_compile_main.m:
    Add infrastructure for debugging possible problems with command lines.
    (I had such a problem while writing this diff.)

compiler/analysis.m:
    Conform to the changes above. Put the arguments of some methods
    into the same order as similar predicates in file_names.m.

    Conform to the changes above. Delete an unused argument,

52c0919975 Make filename extensions a separate type, ...
... to allow later changes to its definition.

compiler/file_names.m:
    We used to represent filename extensions simply as strings. This meant
    all calls to the predicates in file_names.m that convert module names
    to file names with various suffixes had to go through a complicated
    sequence of tests that effectively partition the extensions into
    several classes, with all extensions in a class being treated the same
    but different classes being treated differently. And since this general
    translation process is quite convoluted (which is not helped by it
    being spread across several predicates), it is very hard to construct
    a correctness argument for it.

    It would be better to represent the different classes of extensions
    explicitly, in a du type, with each function symbol of that type
    representing all the extensions in the corresponding class (in the sense
    of the paragraph above). However, getting there in one diff would make
    that diff far too hard to test and to review. So this first diff
    starts by simply making extension a notag type.

    The above is the first step in implementing one old XXX. This diff
    fully implements another old XXX, which is to make the argument order
    of several predicates friendly to higher order code.

    Add infrastructure for profiling how often this code makes directories.

    Delete an unused type.

    Add comments outlining proposed future improvements.

    Consistently use "Ext" for the abstract representation of extensions
    and "ExtStr" for their string representation.

    In a few places, add "XXX EXT" where the code manipulates extensions
    as strings in a way that potentially inferferes with the partition
    of extensions into classes.

    In a few places, rename predicates to avoid ambiguities. factor out
    common code, delete unneeded arguments, replace bools with bespoke types,
    and make similar minor improvements.

    In a few places, remove rafe-isms, such as the use ^elem.

9789375cc5 Make pre-HLDS passes use file-kind-specific parse trees.
Replacing item blocks file-kind-specific kinds of section markers with
file-kind-specific parse trees has several benefits.

- It allows us to encode the structural invariants of each kind of file
  we read in within the type of its representation. This makes the detection
  of any accidental violations of those invariants trivial.

- Since each file-kind-specific parse tree has separate lists for separate
  kinds of items, code that wants to operate on one or a few kinds of items
  can just operate on those kinds of items, without having to traverse
  item blocks containing many other kinds of items as well. The most
  important consequence of this is not the improved efficiency, though
  that is nice, but the increased clarity of the code.

- The new design is much more flexible. For example, it should be possible
  to record that e.g. an interface file we read in as a indirect dependency
  (i.e. a file we read not because its module was imported by the module
  we are compiling, but because its module was imported by *another* imported
  module) should be used *only* for the purpose it was read in for. This should
  avoid situations where deleting an import of A from a module, because it
  is not needed anymore, leads the compiler to generate an error message
  about a missing import of module B. This can happen if (a) module B
  always *should* have been imported, since it is used, but (b) module A's
  import of module B lead to module B's interface being available *without*
  an import of B.

  Specifically, this flexibility should enable us to establish each module's
  .int file as the single source of truth about how values of each type
  defined in that module should be represented. When compiling each source
  file, this approach requires the compiler to read in that module's .int file
  but using only the type_repn items from that .int file, and nothing else.

- By recording a single parse tree for each file we have read, instead of
  a varying number of item blocks, it should be significantly easier to
  derive the contents of .d files directly from the records of those
  parse trees, *without* having to maintain a separate set of fields
  in the module_and_imports structure for that purpose. We could also
  trivially avoid any possibility of inconsistencies between these two
  different sources of truth. (We currently fill in the fields used to
  drive the generation of .d files using two different pieces of code,
  one used for --generate-dependencies and one used for all other invocations,
  and these two *definitely* generate inconsistent results, as the significant
  differences in .d files between (a) just after an invocation of
  --generate-dependencies and (b) just after any other compiler invocation
  can witness.)

This change is big and therefore hard to review. Therefore in many files,
this change adds "XXX CLEANUP" comments to draw attention to places that
have issues that should be fixed, but whose fixes should come later, in
separate diffs.

compiler/module_imports.m:
    The compiler uses the module_and_imports structure defined here
    to go from a raw compilation unit (essentially a module to be compiled)
    to an augmented compilation unit (a raw compilation unit together
    with all the interface and optimization files its compilation needs).
    We used to store the contents of both the source file and of
    the interface and optimization files in the module_and_imports structure
    as item blocks. This diff replaces all those item blocks with
    file-kind-specific parse trees, for the reasons mentioned above.

    Separate out the .int0 files of ancestors modules from the .intN
    files for N>0 of directly imported modules. (Their item blocks
    used to be stored in the same list.)

    Maintain a database of the source, interface and optimization files
    we have read in so far. We use it to avoid reading in interface files
    if we have already read in a file for the same module that contains
    strictly more information (either an interface file with a smaller
    number as a suffix, or the source file itself).

    Shorten some field names.

compiler/prog_item.m:
    Define data structures for storing information about include_module,
    import_module and use_module declarations, both in a form that allows
    the representation of possibly erroneous code in actual source files,
    and in checked-and-cleaned-up form which is guaranteed to be free
    of the relevant kinds of errors. Add a block comment at the start
    of the module about the need for this distinction.

    Define parse_tree_module_src, a data structure for representing
    the source code of a single module. This is different from the existing
    parse_tree_src type, which represents the contents of a single source file
    but which may contain *more* than one module, and also different from
    a raw_compilation_unit, which is based on item blocks and is thus
    unable to express to invariants such as "no clauses in the interface".

    Modify the existing parse_tree_intN types to express the distinction
    mentioned just above, and to unify them "culturally", i.e. if they
    store the same information, make them store it using the same types.

    Fix a mistake by allowing promises to appear in .opt files.
    I originally ruled them out because the code that generates .opt files
    does not have any code to write out promises, but some of the predicates
    whose clauses it writes out have goal_type_promise, which means that
    they originated as promises, and get written out as promises.

    Split the existing pragma item kind into three item kinds, which have
    different invariants applying to them.

    - The decl (short for declarative) pragmas give the compiler some
      information, such as that a predicate is obsolete or that we
      want to type specialize some predicate or function, that is in effect
      part of the module's interface. Decl pragmas may appear in module
      interfaces, and the compiler may put them into interface files;
      neither statement is true of the other two kinds of pragmas.

    - The impl (short for implementation) pragmas are named so
      precisely because they may appear only in implementation sections.
      They give the compiler information that is private to that module.
      Examples include foreign_decls, foreign_codes, foreign_procs,
      and promises of clause equivalence, and requests for inlining,
      tabling etc. These will never be put into interface files,
      though some of them can affect the compilation of other modules
      by being included in .opt files.

    - The gen (short for generated) pragmas can never (legally) appear
      in source files at all. They record the results of compiler
      analyses e.g. about which arguments of a predicate are unused,
      or what exceptions a function can throw, and accordingly they
      should only ever occur in compiler-generated interface files.

    Use the new type differences between the three kinds of pragmas
    to encode the above invariants about which kinds of pragmas can appear
    where into the various kinds of parse trees.

    Make the augmented compilation unit, which is computed from
    the final module_and_imports structure, likewise switch from
    storing item blocks to storing the whole parse trees of the
    files that went into its construction. With each such parse tree,
    record *why* we read it, since this controls what permissions
    the source module being compiled has for access to the entities
    in the parse tree.

    Simplify the contains_foreign_code type, since one of three
    function symbols was equivalent to one possible use of another
    function symbol.

    Provide a way to record which method of which class a compiler-generated
    predicate is for. (See hlds_pred.m below.)

    Move the code of almost all utility operations to item_util.m
    (which is imported by many fewer modules than prog_item.m),
    keeping just the most "popular" ones.

compiler/item_util.m:
    Move most of the previously-existing utility operations here from
    prog_item.m, most in a pretty heavily modified form.

    Add a whole bunch of other utility operations that are needed
    in more than one other module.

compiler/convert_parse_tree.m:
    Provide predicates to convert from raw compilation units to
    parse_tree_module_srcs, and vice versa (though the reverse
    shouldn't be needed much longer).

    Update the conversion operations between the general parse_tree_int
    and the specific parse_tree_intN forms for the changes in prog_item.m
    mentioned above. In doing so, use a consistent approach, based on
    new operations in item_util.m, to detect errors such as duplicate
    include_module and import/use_module declarations in all kinds
    of parse trees.

    Enforce the invariants that the types of parse trees of various kinds
    can now express in types, generating error messages for their violations.

    Delete some utility operations that have been moved to item_util.m
    because now they are also needed by other modules.

compiler/grab_modules.m:
    Delete code that did tests on raw compilation units that are now done
    when that raw compilation unit is converted to a parse_tree_module_src.
    Use the results of the checks done during that conversion to decide
    which modules are imported/used and in which module section.

    Record a single reason for why we reading in each interface and
    optimization file. The code of make_hlds_separate_items.m will use
    this reason to set up the appropriate permissions for each item
    in those files.

    Use separate code for handling different kinds of interface and
    optimization files. Using generic traversal code was acceptable economy
    when we used the same data structure for every kind of interface file,
    but now that we *can* express different invariants for different kinds
    of interface and optimization file, we want to execute not just different
    code for each kind of file, but the data structures we want to work on
    are also of different types. Using file-kind-specific code is a bit
    longer, but it is significantly simpler and more robust, and it is
    *much* easier to read and understand.

    Delete the code that separates the parts of the implementation section
    that are exported to submodules, and the part that isn't, since that task
    is now done in make_hlds_separate_items.m.

    Pass a database of the files we have read through the relevant predicates.

    Give some predicates more meaningful names.

compiler/notes/interface_files.html:
    Note a problem with the current operation of grab_modules.

compiler/get_dependencies.m:
    Add operations to gather implicit references to builtin modules
    (which have to be made available even without an explicit import_module
    or use_module declaration) in all kinds of parse trees. These have
    more code overall, but will be at runtime, since we need only look at
    the item kinds that may *have* such implicit references.

    Add a mechanism to record the result of these gathering operations
    in import_and_or_use_maps.

    Give some types, function symbols, predicates and variables
    more meaningful names.

compiler/make_hlds_separate_items.m:
    When we stored the contents of the source module and the
    interface and optimization files we read in to augment it
    in the module_and_imports structure as a bunch of item blocks,
    the job of this module was to separate out the different kinds of items
    in the item blocks, returning a single list of each kind of item,
    with each such item being packaged up with its status (which encodes
    a set of permissions saying what the source module is allowed
    to do with it).

    Now that the module_and_imports structure stores this info in
    file-kind-specific parse trees, all of which have separate lists
    for each kind of item and none of which contain item blocks,
    the job of this module has changed. Now its job is to convert
    the reason why each file was read in into the (one or more) statuses
    that apply to the different kinds of items stored in it, wrap up
    each item with its status, and return the resulting overall list
    of status/item pairs for each kind of item.

compiler/read_modules.m:
    Add predicates that, when reading an interface file, return its contents
    in the tightest possible file-kind-specific parse tree.

    Refine the database of files we have read to allow us to store
    more file-kind-specific parse trees.

    Don't require that files in the database have associated timestamps,
    since in some cases, we read files we can put into the database
    *without* getting their timestamps.

    Allow the database to record that an attempt to read a file failed.

compiler/split_parse_tree_src.m:
    Rearchitect how this module separates out nested submodules from within
    the main module in a file.

    Another of the jobs of this module is to generate error messages for
    when module A includes module B twice, whether via nesting or via
    include_module declarations, with one special exception for the case
    where A's interface contains nested submodule A.B's interface,
    and A's implementation contains nested submodule A.B's implementation.
    The problem ironically was that while it reported duplicate include_module
    declarations as errors, split_parse_tree_src.m also *generated*
    duplicate include_module declarations. Since it replaced each nested
    submodule occurrence with an include_module declaration, in the scenario
    above, it generated two include_module declarations for A.B. Even worse,
    the interface incarnation of submodule A.B could contain
    (the interface of) its own nested submodule A.B.C, while its
    implementation incarnation could contain (the implementation section of)
    A.B.C. Each occurrence of A.B.C would be its only occurrence in the
    including part of its parent A.B, which means local tests for duplicates
    do not work. (I found this out the hard way.)

    The solution we now adopt adds include_module declarations to the
    parents of any submodule only once the parse tree of the entire
    file has been processed, since only then do we know all the
    includer/included relationships among nested modules. Until then,
    we just record such relationships in a database as we discover them,
    reporting duplicates when needed (e.g. when A includes B twice
    *in the same section*), but not reporting duplicates when not needed
    (e.g. when A.B includes A.B.C in *different* sections).

compiler/prog_data.m:
    Add a new type, pf_sym_name_and_arity, that exactly specifies
    a predicate or function. It is a clone of the existing simple_call_id
    type, but its name does NOT imply that the predicate or function
    is being called.

    Add XXXs that call for some other improvements in type names.

compiler/prog_data_foreign.m:
    Give a type, and the operations on that type, a more specific name.

compiler/error_util.m:
    Add an id field to all error_specs, which by convention should be
    filled in with $pred. Print out the value in this field if the compiler
    is invoked with the developer-only option --print-error-spec-id.
    This allows a person debugging the compiler find out where in the code
    an undesired error message is coming from significantly easier
    than was previously possible.

    Most of the modules that have changes only "to conform to the changes
    above" will be for this change. In many cases, the updated code
    will also simplify the creation of the affected error_specs.

    Fix a bug that looked for a phase in only one kind of error_spec.

    Add some utility operations needed by other parts of this change.

    Delete a previously internal function that has been moved to
    mdbcomp/prim_data.m to make it accessible in other modules as well.

compiler/Mercury.options:
    Ask the compiler to warn about dead predicates in every module
    touched by this change (at least in one its earlier versions).

compiler/add_foreign_enum.m:
    Replace a check for an inappropriately placed foreign_enum declaration
    with a sanity check, since with this diff, the error should be caught
    earlier.

compiler/add_mutable_aux_preds.m:
    Delete a check for an inappropriately placed mutable declaration,
    since with this diff, the error should be caught earlier.

compiler/add_pragma.m:
    Instead of adding pass2 and pass3 pragmas, add decl and impl and
    generated pragmas.

    Delete the tests for generated pragma occurring anywhere except
    .opt files, since those tests are now done earlier.

    Shorten some too-long predicate names.

compiler/comp_unit_interface.m:
    Operate on as specific kinds of parse trees as the interface of this
    module will allow. (We could operate on more specific parse trees
    if we changed the interface, but that is future work).

    Use the same predicates for handling duplicate include_module,
    import_module and use_module declarations as everywhere else.

    Delete the code of an experiment that shouldn't be needed anymore.

compiler/equiv_type.m:
    Replace code that operated on item blocks with code that operates
    on various kinds of parse trees.

    Move a giant block of comments to the front, where it belongs.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
    Add a field to the module_info that lets us avoid generating
    misleading error messages above missing definitions of predicates
    or functions when those definitions were present but were not
    added to the HLDS because they had errors.

    Give a field and its access predicates a more specific name.

    Mark a spot where an existing type cannot express everything
    it is supposed to.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    For predicates which the compiler creates to represent a class method
    (the virtual function, in OOP terms), record not just this fact,
    but the id of the class and of the method. Using this extra info
    in progress messages (with mmc -V) prevents the compiler from printing e.g.

        % Checking typeclass constraints on class method
        % Checking typeclass constraints on class method
        % Checking typeclass constraints on class method

    when checking three such predicates.

compiler/make.m:
    Provide a slot in the make_info structure to allow the database
    of the files we have read in to be passed around.

compiler/make_hlds_error.m:
    Delete predicates that are needed in just one other module,
    and have therefore been moved there.

compiler/make_hlds_passes.m:
    Add decl, impl and generated pragma separately, instead of adding
    pass2 and pass3 pragmas separately.

    Do not generate error messages for clauses, initialises or finalises
    in module interfaces, since with this diff, such errors should be
    caught earlier.

compiler/mercury_compile_main.m:
compiler/recompilation.check.m:
    Explicitly pass around the expanded database of parse trees
    of files that have been read in.

compiler/module_qual.collect_mq_info.m:
compiler/module_qual.m:
compiler/module_qual.qualify_items.m:
    Collect module qualification information, and do module qualification
    respectively on parse trees of various kinds, not item blocks.
    Take information about what the module may do with the contents
    of each interface or optimization file from the record of why
    we read that file, not from the section markers in item blocks.

    Break up some too-large predicates by carving smaller ones out of them.

compiler/options.m:
    Add an option to control whether errors and/or warnings detecting
    when deciding what should go into a .intN file be printed,
    thus (potentially) preventing the creation of that file.

    Add commented-out documentation for a previously totally undocumented
    option.

doc/user_guide.texi:
    Document the new option.

NEWS:
    Announce the new option.

    Mention that we now generate warnings for unused import_module and
    use_module declarations in the interface even if the module has
    submodules.

compiler/write_module_interface_files.m:
    Let the new option control whether we filter out any messages generated
    when deciding what should go into a .intN file.

compiler/parse_item.m:
    Delete actually_read_module_opt, since it is no longer needed;
    its callers now call actually_read_module_{plain,trans}_opt instead.

    Delete unneeded arguments from some predicates.

compiler/parse_module.m:
    Delete some long unused predicates.

compiler/parse_pragma.m:
    When parsing pragmas, wrap them up in the new decl, impl or generated
    pragma kinds.

compiler/parse_tree_out.m:
    Add predicates to write out each of the file-kind-specific parse trees.

compiler/parse_tree_out_pragma.m:
    Add predicates to write out decl, impl and generated pragmas.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
    Add a conditionally-enabled progress message, which can be useful
    in tracking down problems.

compiler/prog_item_stats.m:
    Conform NOT to the changes above beyond what is needed to let this module
    compile. Let that work be done the next time the functionality of
    this module is needed, by which time the affected data structures
    maybe have changed further.

compiler/typecheck.m:
    Fix a performance problem. With intermodule optimization, we read in
    .opt files, some of which (e.g. list.opt and int.opt) contain promises.
    These promises are read in as predicates with goal_type_promise,
    but they do not have declarations of the types of their arguments
    (since promises do not have declarations as such). Those argument types
    therefore have to be inferred. That inference replaces the original
    "I don't know" argument types with their actual types.

    The performance problem is that when we change the recorded argument types
    of a predicate, we require another loop over all the predicates in the
    module, so that any calls to this predicate can be checked against
    the updated types. This is as it should be for callable predicates,
    but promises are not callable. So if all the *only* predicates whose
    recorded argument types change during the first iteration to fixpoint
    are promises, then a second iteration is not needed, yet we used to do it.

    The fix is to replace the "Have the recorded types of this predicate
    changed?" boolean flag with a bespoke enum that says "Did the checking
    of this predicate discover a need for another iteration", and not
    setting it when processing predicates whose type is goal_type_promise.

compiler/typecheck_errors.m:
    Do not generate an error message for a predicate missing its clauses
    is the clauses existed but were not added to the HLDS because they were
    in the interface section.

    When reporting on ambiguities (when a call can match more than one
    predicate or function), sort the possible matches before reporting
    them.

scripts/compare_s1s2_lib:
    A new script that helped debug this diff, and may help debug
    similar diffs the future. It can compare (a) .int* files, (b) .*opt
    files, (c) .mh/.mih files or (d) .c files between the stage 1 and
    stage 2 library directories. The reason for the restriction
    to the library directory is that any problems affecting the
    generation of any of these kinds of files are likely to manifest
    themselves in the library directory, and if they do, the bootcheck
    won't go on to compile any of the other stage 2 directories.

tests/debugger/breakpoints.a.m:
tests/debugger/breakpoints.b.m:
    Move import_module declarations to the implementation section
    when they are not used in the interface. Until now, the compiler
    has ignored this, but this diff causes the compiler to generate
    a warning for such misplaced import_module declarations even modules
    that have submodules. The testing of such warnings is not the point
    of the breakpoints test.

tests/invalid/Mercury.options:
    Since the missing_interface_import test case tests error messages
    generated during an invocation of mmc --make-interface, add the
    new option that *allows* that invocation to generate error messages.

d29183e5fb Improve error messages about unexpected module names.
When you get this message, the error may be in the module name that it
reports to be wrong, but it may be in the places that set the compiler's
expectations of what the name of the module should be. This latter is
very likely the case when one moves a module of the Mercury compiler
from one package to another. In such cases, the problems are the old modules
that continue to refer to the renamed module by its old name.

This diff includes in the error message the identities of the modules
that refer to the old name; these are the modules that establish the
expectation that is not met.

compiler/deps_map.m:
    When tracing references from module A to module B.C (either because
    A imports B.C, or because A = B and A includes C), record A as a source
    of the expectation that any file that contains module C will have
    B.C as module C's fully qualified name. Since a module is usually imported
    by more than one other module, there may be several sources of such
    expectations.

compiler/parse_module.m:
    Require callers of the functions that read in modules from files
    to specify the contexts of the places that establish the expectation
    of the module's fully qualified name.

    When the expectation is not met, include the contexts in the error message.

    Pass those contexts through to parse_module.m.

66356bae7b Make the predicates that find files handle streams explicitly.
compiler/file_util.m:
    The predicates in this module that find the file containing a Mercury
    module used to allow the caller to specify that if the file can be
    successfully opened, then the current input stream should be set to
    the resulting stream. This meant that callers had to save the original
    current input stream *before* calling this predicate, and later restore it,
    *without* anything in between that would signal to readers of the code
    that the current input stream had ever been changed.

    Replace each of these predicates with two predicates. One returns
    the stream as an explicit part of an output argument, letting the caller
    do with the stream what it wished (in some cases, that would mean
    using it in I/O operations as *explicitly* passed parameters, which
    would not require touching the identity of the current input stream),
    giving it the responsibility to close the stream when it is done using it.
    The other would close the stream immediately, not letting the caller know
    that the file was ever opened. The two versions are distinguised both
    by name and by return type.

compiler/find_module.m:
    Make the same change to search_for_module_source. (This predicate was
    the motivation for this change, because unlike the predicates in
    file_util.m, its signature did NOT provide readers with any sort of clue
    that the searched-for file would actually be opened, and that the
    resulting stream would become the new current input stream.)

    Clarify the code that tries to find the source file for a module
    by dropping qualifiers from the module name by (a) giving the predicate
    a more explicit name, and (b) separating the search from the code
    that handles the failure of the search.

compiler/parse_module.m:
compiler/read_modules.m:
    Change part of the interface between these two modules. This used to be
    that code in read_modules.m passed closures to parse_module.m for it
    to invoke, closures whose predicates were always one of the predicates
    affected by the changes above. Simplify the interface by making
    read_modules.m invoke those predicates directly, and simply pass
    the results.
