9a9067171d Move more pred name creation to pred_name.m.
compiler/pred_name.m:
    Add two more pred name transforms: one used by I/O tabling,
    and one used by stm_expand.m.

    Change the names we generate for I/O tabling to fit in with our schemes,
    because we can (there is no part of the whole Mercury system that looks for
    the names we *used* to construct.

    Leave the names we generate for stm as they are, even though they also
    do not fit into our scheme, because changing them would obsolete
    the documentation (such as it is) in stm_expand.m.

    Return the name of instance predicates as strings, rather than
    as always-unqualified sym_names.

    Return the name of instance predicates and uci (unify, compare and index)
    predicates as strings, rather than as always-unqualified sym_names.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    Change the interface of the pred_info_create predicate to put the
    pred_or_func indication before the pred name. I did this originally
    to flush out places that constructed predicate names without
    going through pred_name.m. However, I also took the opportunity
    to fix an old issue, which was that

    - pred_info_create took in a sym_name to specify the name of the
      new predicate, but
    - it ignored the module name part of the sym_name, using a separately
      passed module name instead.

    This definitely violates the law of least astonishment.

    I change the interface of both pred_info_create and pred_info_init
    (which also had a similar issue, using the separately-passed module name
    only if the sym_name specifying the name was unqualified) to require
    their callers to decide the module name part of the name of the new pred,
    and pass it alongside the name that it qualifies. The changes to do this
    ended up being the bulk of the diff. (The define_new_pred predicate should
    also have this treatment applied to it, but that would have made the diff
    even larger.)

compiler/add_clause.m:
compiler/add_foreign_proc.m:
compiler/add_pragma_tabling.m:
compiler/add_pred.m:
    Conform to the changes above. Use variable names that distinguish
    raw names (strings) from sym_names.

    Require the sym_names in item_clause_infos, item_pred_decl_infos,
    item_mode_decl_infos, and various pragma_info_xyzs to be qualified.
    The parsing predicates that generate them implicitly qualify them
    if the name in the source code is unqualified.

    Delete the code that generated an error message when handed an
    item_pred_decl_info containing an unqualified sym_name. Due to
    the implicit quantification mentioned above, this can't happen.

    When adding foreign_procs to the HLDS, use the module name that
    came with the foreign_proc (which could have been explicit or implicit),
    *not* the name of the current module (which is what we used to use),
    when generating error messages. This difference could make the error
    message quite misleading. (We did not have a test case for this error
    message.)

compiler/add_pragma_type_spec.m:
    Conform to the changes above. Use variable names that distinguish
    raw names (strings) from sym_names.

    When adding adding type-specialized versions of predicates to the HLDS,
    use the module name that was created in parse_pragma.m; do not override
    it with the name of the module qualifier of the original predicate.
    If parse_pragma.m did its job right, the two should always be the same.

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

    Add an XXX for a questionable module qualifier we specify for a unify,
    compare or index predicate.

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

    Fix a variable version issue that caused progress messages to be
    printed at an unexpected time.

    Conform to the changes above.

    Simplify the too-complex structure of the code that constructs
    predicate names.

compiler/make_hlds_error.m:
    Take the pred_or_func indicator before the predicate name.
    Use variable names that distinguish raw names (strings) from sym_names.

compiler/parse_util.m:
    Fix a missing undo of an nl_indent_delta.

compiler/foreign.m:
    Add a note about a predicate, that as far I can tell has not done
    anything useful for years, if not decades, is now unused. (This diff
    comments out the only call to it, in add_foreign_proc.m.) The only
    thing it *could* do was warn about a foreign_proc not being able
    to be implemented for the current target language, but that test
    in now done way earlier in the process, and foreign.m does not
    get called in any situation in which the message would be relevant.

254cd500bf Add bespoke type for du types' details.

    As above. The other kinds of types already had bespoke types
    for *their* details.

compiler/add_type.m:

74a31ba8ef Parse and check subtype definitions.
This is the first step towards implementing a subtypes feature.
It introduces type definitions of the form

    :- type subtype =< supertype ---> body.

Later, terms of a subtype should share a data representation with their
supertype, and it will be possible to convert terms between two types
that share "base types" using a coerce operation.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
    Add documentation for subtypes.

    Add documentation for a proposed `coerce' operation, commented out
    for now.

    Add "=<" to the list of reserved type names.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
    Add supertype field to hlds_du_type.

compiler/prog_data.m:
    Add du_supertype field to type_details_du.

    Add comment for future work.

compiler/parse_type_defn.m:
    Parse subtype definitions.

    Check that variables which occur in the "=< supertype" part
    also occur on the left hand side of the subtype definition.

compiler/parse_type_name.m:
    Add a new context for why_no_ho_inst_info.

    Add "=<" to is_known_type_name, i.e. prevent the user from defining
    a type of that name (any longer).

compiler/add_type.m:
    Rename add_du_ctors_check_foreign_type_for_cur_backend to
    add_du_ctors_check_subtype_check_foreign_type.

    In add_du_ctors_check_subtype_check_foreign_type, check that
    subtype definitions satisfy the conditions documented in the
    reference manual.

compiler/make_hlds_passes.m:
    Conform to previous renaming.

compiler/comp_unit_interface.m:
    Follow supertypes when computing the required type constructors
    whose definitions need to be kept in the implementation section
    of a .int file.

compiler/equiv_type.m:
compiler/equiv_type_hlds.m:
    Replace equivalence types in supertypes.

    now that Erlang is no longer a target language.

compiler/parse_type_repn.m:
    Accept both the updated version of the item_type_repn_info and the

    initially generate that previous version. However, stop accepting
    an even older version that we stopped generating several months ago.

compiler/parse_pragma_foreign.m:
    When the compiler finds a reference to Erlang as a foreign language,
    add a message about support for Erlang being discontinued to the error
    message.

    Make the code parsing foreign_decls handle the term containing
    the foreign language the same way as the codes parsing foreign
    codes, procs, types and enums.

    Add a mechanism to help parse_mutable.m to do the same.

d113e2f206 Use similar foreign type representations for parse_tree and HLDS.
The parse tree need to represent foreign_type pragmas without knowing which
foreign language it is for, while the HLDS wants to represent all the
foreign_type pragmas for a given type constructor for all foreign languages.
They used to use separate types to do this. This diff eliminates as much
of this difference as possible.

compiler/prog_data.m:
    Generalize the type (type_details_foreign) we use to represent the
    information content of foreign type pragma. Document the use of
    this type both in the parse tree (the generic version) and in the HLDS
    (versions specific to each foreign language).

compiler/hlds_data.m:
    Use instances of the newly generalized type_details_foreign type
    instead of a separate type.

fc903a0911 Eliminate the double storage of types in the MLDS.
compiler/mlds.m:
    When we record a Mercury type in the MLDS, we used to record with it
    not just its type category (which some aux predicates need), but also
    the name by which it is known to the target language compiler, if the
    type is defined in that foreign language. Unfortunaly, the data structure
    we used to represent the name of the foreign type (and any assertions
    on it) also stored a duplicate copy of the Mercury type in the usual
    case where the Mercury type was *not* defined in the foreign language.
    Having two copies of the same information was dangerous, due to the
    possibility of inconsistency between them. It was also unnecessary work
    for the compiler passes that had to create the duplicate copies.

    Eliminate these problems by always storing *one* copy of the Mercury type.

    Store the Mercury and foreign type information next to each other.

compiler/foreign.m:
    Make the above possible by deleting up the old exported_type type,
    which contained the duplicate copy of the Mercury type in usual case
    of a type that is not defined by foreign code, and replacing it
    with a type that contains information about just a foreign type.

    In the argument lists of the predicates and functions of this module,
    replace arguments that used to be type exported_type with a pair
    of the Mercury type and a maybe of the new type, which is yes(...)
    iff the Mercury type *is* defined in foreign code.

    Give some predicates and functions more meaningful names.

    Make specialized versions of these functions available (specialized
    e.g. to a target language) where these would be useful.

    Delete the auxiliary predicates that aren't needed with the
    new data structure design.

24b98fdafe Pack sub-word-sized ints and dummies in terms.
Previously, the only situation in which we could pack two or more arguments
of a term into a single word was when all those arguments are enums. This diff
changes that, so that the arguments can also be sub-word-sized integers
(signed or unsigned), or values of dummy types (which occupy zero bits).

This diff also records, for each argument of a function symbol, not just
whether, and if yes, how it is packed into a word, but also at *what offset*
that word is in the term's heap cell. It is more economical to compute this
once, when the representation of the type is being decided, than to compute
it over and over again when terms with that function symbol are being
constructed or deconstructed. However, for a transition period, we compute
these offsets at *both* times, to check the consistency of the new algorithm
for computing offsets that is run at "decide representation time" with
the old algorithms run at "generate code for a unification time".

compiler/du_type_layout.m:
    Make the changes described above: pack sub-word-sized integers and
    dummy values into argument words, if possible, and if the relevant
    new option allows it. These options are temporary. If we find no problems
    with the new packing algorithm in a few weeks, we should be able to
    delete them.

    Allow 64 bit ints and uints to be stored in unboxed in two words
    on 32 bit platforms, if the relevant new option allows it. Support
    for this is not yet complete, but it makes sense to implement the
    RTTI changes for both this change and one described in the above
    paragraph together.

    For each packed argument, record not just its width, its shift and
    the mask, but also the number of bits the argument takes. Previously,
    we computed this on demand from the mask, but there is no real need
    for that when simply storing this info is so cheap.

    For all arguments, packed or not, record its offset, relative to both
    the start of the arguments, and the start of the memory cell. (The two
    are different if the arguments are preceded by either a remote secondary
    tag, the typeinfos and/or typeclass_infos describing some existentially
    typed arguments, or both.) The reason for this is given at the top.

    Centralize the decision of the parameters of packing in one predicate.

    If the option --inform-suboptimal-packing is given, print an informational
    message whenever the code deciding type representations finds that
    reordering the arguments of a function symbol would allow it to pack
    the arguments of that function symbol into less space.

compiler/options.m:
    Add the option --allow-packing-ints which controls whether
    du_type_layout.m will attempt to pack {int,uint}{8,16,32} arguments
    alongside enum arguments.

    Add the option --allow-packing-dummies which controls whether
    du_type_layout.m will optimize away (in other words, represent in 0 bits)
    arguments of dummy types.

    Add the option --allow-double-word-ints which controls whether
    du_type_layout.m will store arguments of the types int64 and uint64
    unboxed in two words on 32 bit platforms, the way it currently stores
    double precision floats.

    All three those options are off by default, which preserves binary
    compatibility with existing code. However, the first two are ready
    to be switched on (the third is not).

    All three options are intended to be present in the compiler
    only until these changes are tested. Once we deem them sufficiently
    tested, I will modify the compiler to always do the packing they control,
    at which point we can delete these options. This is why they are not
    documented.

    Add the option --inform-suboptimal-packing, whose meaning is described
    above.

doc/user_guide.texi:
    Document --inform-suboptimal-packing.

compiler/prog_data.m:
    For each argument of a function symbol in a type definition, use
    a new type called arg_pos_width to record the extra information
    mentioned above in (offsets for all arguments, and number of bits
    for packed arguments).

    For each function symbol that has some existential type constraints,
    record the extra information mentioned for parse_type_defn.m below.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
    Include the position, as well as the width, in the representation
    of the arguments of function symbols.

    Previously, we used the integer 0 as a tag for dummies. Add a tag to
    represent dummy values, since this gives more information to any code
    that sees that tag.

compiler/ml_unify_gen.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:
    Handle the packing of dummy values, and of sub-word-sized ints and uints.

    Compare the cell offset of each argument computed using existing
    algorithms here with the cell offset recorded in the argument's
    representation, and abort if they are different.

    In some cases, restructure code a bit to make it possible.
    For example, for tuples and closures, this means that instead of
    simply recording that each tuple argument or closure element
    is a full word, we must record its correct offset as well.

    Handle the new dummy_tag.

    Add prelim (not yet finished) support for double-word int64s/uint64s
    on 32 bit platforms.

    When packing the values of two or more variables (or constants) into a
    single word in a memory cell, optimize away operations that are no-ops,
    such as shifting anything by zero bits, shifting the constant zero
    by any number of bits, and ORing anything with zero. This makes the
    generated code easier to read. It is probably also faster for us
    to do it here than to write out a bigger expression, have the C compiler
    read in the bigger expression, and then later make the same optimization.

    In ml_unify_gen.m, avoid the unnecessary use of a list of the argument
    variables' types separate from the list of the argument variables
    themselves; just look up the type of each argument variable when it is
    processed.

compiler/add_special_pred.m:
    When creating special (unify and compare) predicates for tuples,
    include the offsets in the representation of their arguments.

    Delete an unused predicate.

compiler/llds.m:
    Add a new way to create an rval: a cast. We use it to implement
    the extraction of signed sub-word-sized integers from packed argument
    words in terms. Masking the right N bits out of the packed word
    leaves the other 32-N or 64-N bits as zeroes; a cast to int8_t,
    int16_t or int32_t will copy the sign bit to these bits.
    Likewise, when we pack signed int{8,16,32} values into words,
    we cast them to their unsigned versions to throw away any sign-extension
    bits in their original word-sized representations.

    No similar change is needed for the MLDS, since that already had
    a mechanism for casts.

compiler/mlds.m:
    Note a potential simplification in the MLDS.

compiler/builtin_lib_types.m:
    Add functions to return the Mercury representation of the int64
    and uint64 types.

compiler/foreign.m:
    Export a specialized version of an existing predicate, to allow
    ml_unify_gen.m to avoid the costs of the more general version.

compiler/hlds_out_module.m:
    Always print the representations of all arguments, since the
    inclusion of position information in those representation means that
    the representations of even all-full-word-argument terms are of potential
    interest when debugging term representations.

compiler/lco.m:
    Do not try to apply LCO to arguments of dummy types. (We could optimize
    them differently, by filling them in before they are "computed", but
    that is a separate optimization, which is of *very* low priority.)

compiler/liveness.m:
    Do not include variables of dummy types in resume points.

    The reason for this is that the code that establishes a resume point
    returns, for each such variable, a list of *lvals* where that variable
    can be found. The new code in unify_gen.m will optimize away assignments
    to values of dummy types, so there is *no* lval where they can be found.
    We could allocate one, but doing so would be a pessimization. Instead,
    we simply don't save and restore such values. When their value (which is
    always 0) is needed, we can create them out of thin air.

compiler/ml_global_data.m:
    Include the target language in the ml_global_data structure, to prevent
    some of its users having to look it up in the module_info.

    Add notes about the specializing the implementation of arrays of
    int64s/uint64s on 32 bit platforms.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
compiler/ml_type_gen.m:
    Add sanity checks of the new precomputed fields of exist_constraints.

    Conform to the changes above.

compiler/mlds_to_c.m:
    Add prelim (not yet finished) support for double-word int64s/uint64s
    on 32 bit platforms.

    Add notes about possible optimizations.

compiler/parse_type_defn.m:
    When a function symbol in a type definition contains existential
    arguments, precompute and store the set of constrained and unconstrained
    type variables. The code in du_type_layout.m needs this information
    to compute the number of slots occupied by typeinfos and typeclass_infos
    in memory cells for this function symbol, and several other places
    in the compiler do too. It is easier and faster to compute this
    information just once, and this is the earliest time what that can be done.

compiler/type_ctor_info.m:
    Use the prerecorded information about existential types to simplify
    the code here

compiler/polymorphism.m:
    Add an XXX about possibly using the extra info we now record in
    exist_constraints to simplify the job of polymorphism.m.

compiler/pragma_c_gen.m:
compiler/var_locn.m:
    Create the values of dummy variables from scratch, if needed.

compiler/rtti.m:
    Replace a bool with a bespoke type.

compiler/rtti_out.m:
compiler/rtti_to_mlds.m:
    When generating RTTI information for the LLDS and MLDS backends
    respectively, record new kinds of arguments as needing special
    treatment. These are int64s and uint64s stored unboxed in two words
    on 32 bit platforms, {int,uint}{8,16,32} values packed into words,
    and dummy arguments. Each of these has a special code: its own negative
    negative value in the num_bits field of the argument.

    Generate slightly better formatted output.

compiler/type_util.m:
    Delete a predicate that isn't needed anymore.

compiler/opt_util.m:
    Delete a function that hasn't been needed for a while.

    Conform to the changes above.

compiler/ml_code_util.m:
    Factor out some common code.

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
    Allocate special values of the MR_arg_bits field of the MR_DuArgLocn type
    to designate arguments as two word int64/uint64s, as sub-word-sized
    arguments of types {int,uint}{8,16,32}, or as arguments of dummy types.
    (We already had a special value for two word float arguments.)

    Document the list of places that know about this code, so that they
    can be updated if and when it changes.

library/construct.m:
    Handle the construction of terms with two-word int64/uint64 arguments,
    with packed {int,uint}{8,16,32} arguments, and with dummy arguments.

    Factor out the code common to the sectag-present and sectag-absent cases,
    to make it possible to do the above in just *one* place.

library/store.m:
    Add an XXX to a place that I don't think handles two word arguments
    correctly. (I think this is an old bug.)

runtime/mercury_deconstruct.c:
    Handle the deconstruction of terms with two-word int64/uint64 arguments,
    with packed {int,uint}{8,16,32} arguments, and with dummy arguments.

runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h:
    Handle the copying of terms with two-word int64/uint64 arguments,
    with packed {int,uint}{8,16,32} arguments, and with dummy arguments.

    Give a macro a more descriptive name.

runtime/mercury_type_info.c:
    Handle taking the size of terms with two-word int64/uint64 arguments,
    with packed {int,uint}{8,16,32} arguments, and with dummy arguments.

runtime/mercury.h:
    Put related definitions next to each other.

runtime/mercury_deconstruct.h:
runtime/mercury_ml_expand_body.h:
    Fix indentation.

tests/hard_coded/construct_test.{m,exp}:
    Add to this test case a test of the construction, via the library's
    construct.m module, of terms containing packed sub-word-sized integers,
    and packed dummies.

tests/hard_coded/deconstruct_arg.{m,exp}:
    Convert the source code of this test case to state variable notation,
    and update the line number references (in the names of predicates created
    from lambda expressions) accordingly.

tests/hard_coded/uint64_ground_term.{m,exp}:
    A new test case to check that uint64 values too large to be int64 values
    can be stored in static structures.

tests/hard_coded/Mmakefile:
    Enable the new test case.

fb97df69ed Make "compute type representations" a separate pass.
The ultimate purpose of this diff is to prepare for future improvements
in type representations, allowing values of some data types to be represented
more compactly than up to now.

The main way this diff does that is by creating a separate pass for deciding
how values of each type should be represented. We have traditionally decided
data representations for each type as its type definition was processed
during the make_hlds pass, but these decisions were always tentative,
and could be overridden later, e.g. when we processed foreign_type or
foreign_enum pragmas for the type. This dispersed decision making algorithm
is hard to understand, and therefore to change.

This diff centralizes decisions about type representations in a separate
pass that does nothing else. It leaves the algorithm distributed among
several files (du_type_layout.m, make_tags.m, and add_foreign_enum.m) for now,
to make reviewing this diff easier, but soon after it is committed I intend
to move all the relevant code to du_type_layout.m, to centralize the decision
code in "space" as well as in time.

For the reason why this pass runs before any of the semantic analysis
passes, instead of after all of them as I originally intended and as we
discussed on m-dev in late october 2017, see the big comment at the start of
du_type_layout.m.

As per another part of that same discussion on m-dev, this diff
makes a start on implementing a new type of item, the type_repn item,
which is intended *only* to be used in compiler-generated interface files,
*not* in source files. It is only a start because we can use these items
only *after* the creation of a separate type representation decision pass,
and this diff is already very big. The code for making the compiler understand
these items will be added later. The code for generating them will be added
later still, once the code for understanding them has been installed on
all our systems.

Since I was going to be working on the affected code anyway, this diff
also carries out two other decisions that came out of that discussion:

- the deletion of the ability to reserve a tag in a type for HAL,
  either via a compiler option or via a pragma, and

- the deletion of the ability to represent a functor using the address
  of a statically allocated object (which we haven't used and won't use,
  because it slows down accesses to *all the other functors* of the type).

compiler/mercury_compile_front_end.m:
    Invoke the new pass for making decisions about type representations
    after the make_hlds pass. (We used to do only the final part of it then.)

    Fix a bad dump stage name.

    Add an extra check for what it means for a module to be error free.

    Make a sub-switch explicit.

compiler/hlds.m:
compiler/make_hlds.m:
    Move the modules that implement the new pass from the make_hlds package
    to the hlds package, to give the compiler's top level access to them.

    Make the same move for the modules that the new pass's modules need.
    Since they are now part of hlds, they cannot reach into make_hlds,
    and I think this is a cleaner solution than forwarding predicates.

    Delete some forwarding predicates that are no longer needed.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
    Document the updated location of the moved modules.

    Add an XXX to note a place where the documentation has not been
    updated in the past.

compiler/du_type_layout.m:
    Add code to implement the new pass.

    Keep the algorithm for deciding type representations as close
    to the previously used algorithm as possible, since this diff
    is already big enough. (The previous algorithm was scattered across
    add_type.m, add_foreign_enum.m, and make_hlds_passes.m.)

    Simplifications and optimizations will come later, after this module
    is merged with make_tags.m and with (at least) the foreign_enum half of
    add_foreign_enum.m.

compiler/make_tags.m:
    Keep the functionality of this module, which does both the first part
    of deciding type representations (tentatively assigning tags to functors,
    an assignment that may be overridden later), and the last part (packing
    multiple adjacent less-than-word-sized enum args into a single word,
    if possible.), but simplify it where possible, and note possibilities
    for further improvements.

compiler/add_foreign_enum.m:
    This module has two halves, one dealing with foreign_enum pragmas
    and one dealing with foreign_export_enum pragmas.

    Change the half that deals with foreign_enum pragmas to just build
    a data structure that du_type_layout.m will need to make its decisions,
    this structure being a map from type_ctors to the foreign enum
    specification applicable to the current target language. Include
    in this structure a component that add_foreign_enum.m itself can use
    to report better error messages for duplicate foreign_enum pragmas;
    this component records, for each type_ctor and language, the context
    of the previous foreign_enum pragma for that combo.

    Change the input for the half that deals with foreign_export_enum pragmas
    to reflect the fact that it is invoked by du_type_layout.m after all
    decisions about type representations have already been made.

compiler/add_special_pred.m:
    Move this module from the make_hlds package to the hlds package,
    since the code that adds special preds for type is now called from
    du_type_layout.m.

    Change the names of predicates to make clear whether they add
    only the declaration of a predicate, only its definition, or both.

    Don't try to pre-guess whether the implementation of a type's
    compare predicate will need an index predicate. Let the code
    that generates calls to the index predicate both declare and define
    the index predicate. This change removes the potential for
    inconsistencies between the two pieces of code.

compiler/add_pred.m:
    Move this module from the make_hlds package to the hlds package,
    since add_special_pred.m needs access to it.

compiler/add_type.m:
    When adding a type definition to the HLDS, don't try to decide
    its representation. Any such decision was tentative anyway, due
    to the possibility of e.g. the later processing of foreign_type
    or foreign_enum pragmas for the type. Likewise, don't try to
    create the special (unify, compare) predicates for the type.
    Leave both tasks to the du_type_layout pass.

    Likewise, don't try to pack the representation of types, or record
    no_tag types in the table of no_tag types, during the post-processing
    pass either; leave both of these to du_type_layout as well.
    Rename the predicate that post_processes type definitions to reflect
    the two tasks left for it to do.

compiler/prog_data.m:
    Do not store width information about the arguments of those data
    constructors in the parse tree. That information is not computed
    until later; until then, it was always filled in with dummy values.
    (But see hlds_data.m below.)

    Use bespoke types to represent the presence or absence of user-specified
    unify and compare predicates.

    Change the representation of data constructors to use a single "maybe"
    type, not two lists, to denote the presence or absence of existentially
    typed arguments.

    Give the HLDS the ability to hold representation information about
    abstract types that in the future we will get from type_repn items
    in the defining modules' interface files.

    Delete the uses_reserved_tag type, since we never use reserved tags
    anymore.

compiler/prog_item.m:
    Add the new type_repn item type, which is not used yet.

    Delete the reserve_tag pragma.

    Fix an earlier mistake in the wording of a context message.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
    Put all the fields of hlds_du_type (the type definition variant dealing
    with discriminated union types) that deal with type representation
    issues in a single "maybe" field that is set to "no" before the
    type representation decision pass has been run.

    Add new type, constructor_repn, that stores the same information as the old
    constructor type (defined in prog_data.m), PLUS the information
    describing how terms with that data constructor are stored.

    Likewise, add a new type ctor_arg_rep, which likewise stores
    the widths of each constructor argument. When we implement
    argument reordering, we would store the offset of the arg as well.

    Since the parse tree representations of constructors and their arguments
    don't store representation information anymore, the cons_table they
    are stored in doesn't either. Make the lookup of representation information
    for a given constructor possible by adding a map to the new "maybe" field
    of hlds_du_type.

    Provide some utility predicates.

    Optimize some existing predicates.

    Rename some types to better reflect their meaning.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
    Provide a slot in the module_info for storing the information
    gathered by make_hlds.m that is needed by the new pass.

compiler/make_hlds_separate_items.m:
    When we see either a foreign_enum or a foreign_export_enum pragma,
    return values of a bespoke type for them (a type defined in
    hlds_module.m), instead of an item_pragma. This makes handling them
    considerably easier.

compiler/make_hlds_passes.m:
    With the changes in this diff, adding a type to the HLDS won't
    decide its representation. Therefore delete the code that used
    to loop over foreign_export_enum pragmas; in the absence of
    the final type representation information, it won't work right.

    Record the information that the du_type_layout pass will need
    in the module_info.

compiler/add_pragma.m:
    Delete the code for passing on foreign_enum and foreign_export_enum
    pragmas to add_foreign_enum.m; they are now passed to add_foreign_enum.m
    by du_type_layout.m.

    Move a utility predicate to make_hlds_error.m, to allow add_foreign_enum.m
    to call it.

compiler/make_hlds_error.m:
    Add the utility predicate moved from add_pragma.m.

    Move the module from the make_hlds to the hlds package.

compiler/module_qual.m:
    Provide a mechanism for recording error messages about e.g. undefined
    types without recording that we found an undefined type. This sounds
    strange, but there is a valid use case.

    When a type definition declares a functor's argument to be of an
    undefined type, that error is usually fatal; we stop the compiler
    from proceeding even to typechecking, since the typechecker will
    probably abort with a map lookup failure. Most other references
    to undefined types are similarly fatal for the same reason. However,
    if e.g. a foreign_export_enum pragma refers to an undefined type,
    that error *won't* be visible to the typechecker, and therefore
    won't crash it. The error will still cause the compiler to exit
    without generating any target language code, but at least it will be
    able to run the typechecker and other semantic analysis passes.

    Without this change, the compiler will report only one error in
    the ee_invalid.m test case; with it, it reports *every* error
    in the test case expected output.

compiler/module_qual.qualify_items.m:
    Use the capability describe above for undefined types in
    foreign_export_enum pragmas.

compiler/module_qual.qual_errors.m:
    Delete a (somewhat incorrect) copy of a predicate in prog_item.m,
    to reduce code duplication.

compiler/prog_type.m:
    Add ways to represent abstract types whose representations are nevertheless
    known (from type_repn items in the defining modules' interface files)
    to be notag or dummy types. This will be needed to fix Mantis bug #441,
    a fix that will probably be one of the first later changes to build
    on this diff.

    Delete a type moved to type_util.m.

compiler/type_util.m:
    Provide extra versions of some predicates, with the difference between
    the old and the new versions being that one requires type representations
    to have been decided already, and the other one does not.

    Move the definition of the ctor_defn type here from prog_type.m,
    since prog_type.m itself does not use it, but type_util.m does.

    Give some predicates more meaningful names.

compiler/parse_type_defn.m:
    Simplify the code for parsing type definitions, to make it easier
    to reuse to parse type_repn items.

    Add a sanity check that requires existential constraints to have
    *some* existential variables to apply to.

    Allow "type_is_representable_in_n_bits" as a synonym for
    "type_is_abstract_enum", since in the future we want to be able to pack
    e.g. multiple int8s, not just multiple enums, into a single word.

    Generate more specific error messages for some classes of malformed input.

compiler/parse_type_repn.m:
    New module to parse type_repn items.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
    Make some predicates that operate on type constructors take
    the type constructors themselves as input arguments, not a whole type
    *using* that type constructor. Put the arguments of those predicates
    in a more standard order.

    Note that some predicates don't belong in this module.

compiler/special_pred.m:
    Make the code that decides whether a special predicate for a type
    constructor can be defined lazily avoid using type representation
    information. (Actually, we now make decisions about lazy vs eager
    definitions after type representation is available, but that was
    not so in an earlier version of this change, and the new code
    is more robust.)

compiler/unify_proc.m:
    When we decide to generate code for a compare predicate that needs
    the type to have an index predicate, don't presume that the index
    predicate has already been declared and defined; instead, declare
    and define it then and there. (Index predicates are *never* called
    from anywhere else.)

    Pack the information needed to define a special predicate
    into a single structure, to simplify the above.

    Since the creation of a clause for a compare predicate may now require
    the declaration and definition of an index predicate, the module_info
    field of the unify_proc_info is now a writeable field.

    Give some predicates and function symbols more meaningful names.

    Note some problems with the existing code.

f519e26173 Add builtin 64-bit integer types -- Part 1.
Add the new builtin types: int64 and uint64.

Support for these new types will need to be bootstrapped over several changes.
This is the first such change and does the following:

- Extends the compiler to recognise 'int64' and 'uint64' as builtin types.
- Extends the set of builtin arithmetic, bitwise and relational operators
  to cover the new types.
- Adds the new internal option '--unboxed-int64s' to the compiler; this will be
  used to control whether 64-bit integer types are boxed or not.
- Extends all of the code generators to handle the new types.
- Extends the runtimes to support the new types.
- Adds new modules to the standard library intend to contain basic operations
  on the new types.  (These are currently empty and not documented.)

There are bunch of limitations marks with "XXX INT64"; these will be lifted in
part 2 of this change.  Also, 64-bit integer types are currently always boxed,

8a240ba3f0 Add builtin 8, 16 and 32 bit integer types -- Part 1.
Add the new builtin types: int8, uint8, int16, uint16, int32 and uint32.
Support for these new types will need to be bootstrapped over several changes.
This is the first such change and does the following:

- Extends the compiler to recognise 'int8', 'uint8', 'int16', 'uint16', 'int32'
  and 'uint32' as builtin types.
- Extends the set of builtin arithmetic, bitwise and relational operators to
  cover the new types.
- Extends all of the code generators to handle new types.  There currently lots
  of limitations and placeholders marked by 'XXX FIXED SIZE INT'.  These will
  be lifted in later changes.
- Extends the runtimes to support the new types.
- Adds new modules to the standard library intended to hold the basic
  operations on the new types.  (These are currently empty and not documented.)

This change does not introduce the two 64-bit types, 'int64' and 'uint64'.
Their implementation is more complicated and is best left to a separate change.

2ac8465659 Make the code adding new types to the HLDS readable.
The motivation for this diff was that I wanted the compiler to generate
a warning if a module declared the same type twice. (During the cleanup
of unify_proc.m I did recently, I found and fixed such a duplicate
declaration.)

compiler/add_type.m:
    The old code of module_add_type_defn was not just long (210+ lines),
    it is also very complex.

    Part of this complexity was sort-of justified. It dealt with adding
    three separate kinds of item_type_defns: abstract type "definitions",
    which are actually declarations; the definitions of Mercury types,
    and the definitions of foreign types. A single type could have more than
    one of these (e.g. declaration and a definition, or a Mercury definition
    and a foreign definition), and it had to be prepared to process these
    in any order.

    Part of this complexity was self-inflicted. The parts of the predicate
    that dealt with the same kind of definition were not always next to each
    other, and for some parts, it wasn't even clear *what* kind of definition
    it was dealing with. It did the same tests on both the old and updated
    versions of definitions, when those definitions were guaranteed to be
    identical; the "updating" predicate was a no-op. And it used completely
    different code for detecting and handling related errors.

    This diff fixes the above problems. It separates the task of adding
    an item_type_defn to the HLDS into three subtasks, done in three separate
    predicates: adding type declarations, adding Mercury definitions, and
    adding foreign definitions. It specializes each predicate to its task,
    and simplifies its decision flow. It also delegates the creation of
    (most) error messages to separate predicates. Together, these changes
    make each of module_add_type_defn_{abstract,mercury,foreign} easily
    understandable.

    Generate a warning if a type is declared twice, i.e. if e.g.
    ":- type x." is followed by another ":- type x.".

    Call module_info_incr_errors to register the presence of errors in just
    one central place. (Before, some of the places that generated error
    messages incremented the error count, and some places didn't.)

    Improve the wording of some error messages.

    Refer to type names in error messages by unqualified sym_names
    in cases where the module qualifier being elided is obvious from
    the name of the module being compiled.

    Add documentation.

    Add descriptions of potential future improvements.

092e175f45 Add a builtin unsigned word sized integer type -- Part 1.
Add a new builtin type: uint, which is an unsigned word sized integer type.
Support for this new type will need be bootstrapped over several changes.
This is the first such change and does the following:

- Extends the compiler to recognize 'uint' as a builtin type.
- Extends the set of builtin operations to include relational and (some)
  arithmetic operations on uints.
- Extends all of the code generators to handle the above.  There are some
  limitations currently marked by 'XXX UINT'.  These will be lifted once
  the compiler recognised uint and additional library support becomes
  available.
- Extends the runtime to support uints.

compiler/prog_type.m:
compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/builtin_lib_types.m:

    Add a new alternative to the cons_id/0 type corresponding to the uint type
    -- for bootstrapping purposes its argument is currently an int.

compiler/builtin_ops.m:
    Add builtin relational and arithmetic operations on uints.  Note that the
    existing 'unsigned_le' operation is actually intended for use with signed
    values.  Rather than attempt to modify its meaning, I have just added new
    operations specific to the uint type.

3acbf03059 Implement combined higher-order types and insts.
These allow types to be defined in the following manner:

    :- type job ---> job(pred(int::out, io::di, io::uo) is det).

For any construction unification using this functor the argument must
have the required higher-order inst; it is a mode error if it does not.
When terms of type job with inst ground are deconstructed, the argument
is inferred to have the given inst, allowing a higher-order call in that
mode.

The new type syntax is currently only permitted as the direct argument of
a functor in a du type definition. In future it would be meaningful to
support this syntax in other locations, but that is left for a separate
change.

In order to correctly implement the construct/3 library predicate, we
need to be able to dynamically check that arguments do not violate
any constraints on the argument insts. At the moment, we conservatively
abort if any such constraints are present irrespective of whether they
are satisfied or not. Since these constraints are a new feature, no
existing code will abort in this way.

The implementation refers to the inst information associated with types
as "subtype information". This is because, generally, we think of the
combination of a type with a fully bound inst (i.e., one that describes
terms that contain no unbound variables) describes a subtype of that type.

compiler/inst_util.m:
	Ensure that arguments have the necessary insts in construction
	unifications.

	Where available, propagate the insts into arguments rather than
	using ground(shared, none).

compiler/prog_io_type_name.m:
	Parse the new form of types.

compiler/unparse.m:
	Unparse the new form of types.

compiler/superhomogeneous.m:
	Disallow the new form of types in places other than functor
	arguments.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Go back to representing function types with result type appended
	to the arguments. In most case this now results in simpler code.

compiler/prog_type.m:
	Abstract away the representation of predicate vs function arguments
	by using a predicate to construct these types.

compiler/rtti.m:
compiler/type_ctor_info.m:
	Include subtype information about the arguments of a du functor
	and about the argument of a notag functor. Generate this
	information from the argument types.

	Currently, the information is one bit which says whether or not
	any subtypes exist in the arguments.

	Bump the RTTI version number from the compiler side.

compiler/rtti_out.m:
	Output functor subtype information for the low-level C backend.

compiler/rtti_to_mlds.m:
	Include functor subtype information in the MLDS.

runtime/mercury_dotnet.cs.in:
	Include functor subtype information in the C# runtime.

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Include functor subtype information in the C runtime.

	Bump the RTTI version number in the runtime.

	Define macros to access the new field. These macros can correctly
	handle the previous RTTI version, therefore we do not need to
	change the minimum version at this time.

library/private_builtin.m:
	Define constants for use by the Java backend.

library/construct.m:
library/rtti_implementation.m:
	Use the new RTTI to ensure we don't attempt to construct terms
	that violate the new insts.

compiler/prog_rep_tables.m:
	Ignore the new inst info for now.

	Changes to conform to above.

62db25b371 Add foreign type assertion `word_aligned_pointer'.
Add a new foreign type assertion `word_aligned_pointer' that asserts the
necessary conditions for the compiler to use the direct argument functor
representation on constructors of a single argument of that foreign type.

The conditions on the values of the foreign type are

  - the values must fit in a single word

  - the values must be clear in the tag bits ("word-aligned")

The first condition is the same as that asserted by
`can_pass_as_mercury_type' so we let `word_aligned_pointer' imply
`can_pass_as_mercury_type'.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add `foreign_type_word_aligned_pointer' option.

	Wrap list(foreign_type_assertions) in a new type to dissuade
	direct checks for individual list members.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Parse `word_aligned_pointer' as a foreign type assertion.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add predicates for checking foreign type assertions.  The
	implication word_aligned_pointer => can_pass_as_mercury_type is
	implemented in a single place.

compiler/make_tags.m:
	Take `word_aligned_pointer' assertions into consideration when
	deciding if a constructor can use the direct argument functor
	representation.

	Clarify the code.

76b1eb5306 Optimize the representation of foreign imports.
compiler/prog_data.m:
    A foreign_import_module_info structure used to record not just what
    module's target language header file is imported in what target language,
    but also a context associated with that import, which was set to the
    context of the compiler-generated `:- pragma foreign_import_module'
    declaration in the .opt file we read it in from. However, we never did
    anything useful with this context, and took advantage of that fact
    by setting that field to dummy values in pretty much all the
    foreign_import_module_info structures created by the compiler.
    Since the target language code we generate may need to import the same
    target language header file for many different reasons, it is very
    unlikely that there is ever going to be a *single* context we may
    ever want to associate with the import of one header for one language.
    Therefore delete the context field from foreign_import_module_infos.

    After this deletion, there is no point in keeping around multiple
    foreign_import_module_infos for the same target language / module name
    combination. Instead of a set of such pairs, use a representation
    that stores a set of imported module names for each of the possible
    target languages, since this makes operations faster.

    Provide predicates for the  operations on the new foreign_import_modules
    type that are needed in more than one place.

compiler/prog_item.m:
    Avoid having the pragma_info_foreign_import_module type being a duplicate
    of the now slimmed-down foreign_import_module_info type by making the
    former a wrapper around the latter. (One could replace the former
    by the latter, but the current arrangement costs nothing at runtime,
    and keeps the documentation of this pragma next to the documentation
    of the related pragmas.)

62ec97d443 Report imports shadowed by other imports.
If a module has two or more import_module or use_module declarations
for the same module, (typically, but not always, one being in its interface
and one in its implementation), generate an informational message about
each redundant declaration if --warn-unused-imports is enabled.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
    We used to record the set of imported/used modules, and the set of
    modules imported/used in the interface of the current module. However,
    these sets

    - did not record the distinction between imports and uses;
    - did not allow distinction between single and multiple imports/uses;
    - did not record the locations of the imports/uses.

    The first distinction was needed only by module_qual.m, which *did*
    pay attention to it; the other two were not needed at all.

    To generate messages for imports/uses shadowing other imports/uses,
    we need all three, so change the data structure storing such information
    for *direct* imports to one that records all three of the above kinds
    of information. (For imports made by read-in interface and optimization
    files, the old set of modules approach is fine, and this diff leaves
    the set of thus *indirectly* imported module names alone.)

compiler/unused_imports.m:
    Use the extra information now available to generate a
    severity_informational message about any import or use that is made
    redundant by an earlier, more general import or use.

    Fix two bugs in the code that generated warnings for just plain unused
    modules.

    (1) It did not consider that a use of the builtin type char justified
    an import of char.m, but without that import, the type is not visible.

    (2) It scanned cons_ids in goals in procedure bodies, but did not scan
    cons_ids that have been put into the const_struct_db. (I did not update
    the code here when I added the const_struct_db.)

    Also, add a (hopefully temporary) workaround for a bug in
    make_hlds_passes.m, which is noted below.

    However, there are at least three problems that prevent us from enabling
    --warn-unused-imports by default.

    (1) In some places, the import of a module is used only by clauses for
    a predicate that also has foreign procs. When compiled in a grade that
    selects one of those foreign_procs as the implementation of the predicate,
    the clauses are discarded *without* being added to the HLDS at all.
    This leads unused_imports.m to generate an uncalled-for warning in such
    cases. To fix this, we would need to preserve the Mercury clauses for
    *all* predicates, even those with foreign procs, and do all the semantic
    checks on them before throwing them away. (I tried to do this once, and
    failed, but the task should be easier after the item list change.)

    (2) We have two pieces of code to generate import warnings. The one in
    unused_imports.m operates on the HLDS after type and mode checking,
    while module_qual.m operates on the parse tree before the creation of
    the HLDS. The former is more powerful, since it knows e.g. what types and
    modes are used in the bodies of predicates, and hence can generate warnings
    about an import being unused *anywhere* in a module, as opposed to just
    unused in its interface.

    If --warn-unused-imports is enabled, we will get two separate set of
    reports about an interface import being unused in the interface,
    *unless* we get a type or mode error, in which case unused_imports.m
    won't be invoked. But in case we do get such errors, we don't want to
    throw away the warnings from module_qual.m. We could store them and
    throw them away only after we know we won't need them, or just get
    the two modules to generate identical error_specs for each warning,
    so that the sort_and_remove_dups of the error specs will do the
    throwing away for us for free, if we get that far.

    (3) The valid/bug100.m test case was added as a regression test for a bug
    that was fixed in module_qual.m. However the bug is still present in
    unused_imports.m.

compiler/make_hlds_passes.m:
    Give hlds_module.m the extra information it now needs for each item_avail.

    Add an XXX for a bug that cannot be fixed right now: the setting of
    the status of abstract instances to abstract_imported. (The "abstract"
    part is correct; the "imported" part may not be.)

compiler/xml_documentation.m:
    Conform to the change in hlds_module.m.

compiler/module_qual.m:
    Update the documentation of the relationship of this module

    to hlds_module.m.

    Print status information about instances, which was needed to diagnose
    one of the bugs in unused_imports.m. Format the output for instances
    nicer.

    Add a convenience predicate.

browser/*.m:
deep_profiler/*.m:
mfilterjavac/*.m:
    Delete unneeded imports. Many of these shadow other imports, and some
    are just plain unneeded, as shown by --warn-unused-imports. In a few
    modules, there were a *lot* of unneeded imports, but most had just
    one or two.

    In a few cases, removing an import from a module, because it *itself*
    does not need it, required adding that same import to those of its
    submodules which *do* need it.

    In a few cases, conform to other changes above.

tests/invalid/Mercury.options:
    Test the generation of messages about import shadowing on the existing
    import_in_parent.m test case (although it was also tested very thoroughly
    when giving me the information needed for the deletion of all the
    unneeded imports above).

tests/*/*.{m,*exp}:
    Delete unneeded imports, and update any expected error messages
    to expect the now-smaller line numbers.

c1402f8b99 Clean up hlds_module.m.
compiler/hlds_module.m:
    Put related fields of the module_sub_info next to each other.

    Some of those fields contained lists that were built reversed,
    in order to avoid O(N^2) behavior when repeatedly adding new items
    to the end of the list. Replace these with cords, which did not exist
    when those fields were first added.

    Give some fields and their getter/setter predicates more descriptive
    names.

    Separate out both the declarations and definitions of the getter and
    setter predicates, and put them into the same order as the (updated)
    order of the fields. Put the utility predicates (those that are more
    complicated than just getters or setters) into an order based on
    what fields they work on, following the same order.

    Improve the operation of some of the utility predicates, e.g. replacing
    a nondet predicate with a det predicate returning a set.

    Delete an unused type.

    Conform to the changes in the modules imported by hlds_module.m,
    e.g. pred_table.m, prog_data.m and prog_foreign.m.

compiler/pred_table.m:
    We used to store the set of valid pred ids as two lists, again to avoid
    O(N^2) behavior. Replace the two lists with a set. This allows
    looking up the set *without* updating the pred_table, or, when
    the pred_table is within the module_info, updating the module_info.

    Instead of allowing callers to replace the set of valid pred ids wholesale,
    enforce the documented invariant on that set by only allowing deletions.

    Conform to the changes above.

f6bdd99a80 Delete the MLDS->GCC (assembler) backend.
As discussed in the recent Mercury meeting, remove support for the GCC backend.
It was very much out of date and supporting it proprerly would means having to
track changes to GCC's internals.  Furthermore, its presence complicates
building the compiler.

The main thing this change does not address is the fact that we invoke
the compiler through C code, e.g. main.c in the top-level of the source
tree.  This was required by the GCC backend and can now be removed, but
I will do that as a separate change.

12281f3419 Implement a type representation optimisation ("direct argument functors"),
Branches: main

Implement a type representation optimisation ("direct argument functors"),
where a functor with exactly one argument can be represented by a tagged
pointer to the argument value, which itself does not require the tag bits,
e.g.

	:- type maybe_foo ---> yes(foo) ; no.
	:- type foo       ---> foo(int, int).  % aligned pointer

To ensure that all modules which could construct or deconstruct the functor
agree on the type representation, I had planned to automatically output
extra information to .int files to notify importing modules about functors
using the optimised representation:

	:- type maybe_foo ---> yes(foo) ; no
		where direct_arg is [yes/1].

However, the compiler does not perform enough (or any) semantic analysis
while making interface files.  The fallback solution is to only use the
optimised representation when all importing modules can be guaranteed to
import both the top-level type and the argument type, namely, when both
types are exported from the same module.  We also allow certain built-in
argument types; currently this only includes tuples.

Non-exported types may use the optimised representation, but when
intermodule optimisation is enabled, they may be written out to .opt files.
Then, we *do* add direct_arg attributes to .opt files to ensure that importing
modules agree on the type representation.  The attributes may also be added by
Mercury programmers to source files, which will be copied directly into .int
files without analysis.  They will be checked when the module is actually
compiled.

This patch includes work by Zoltan, who independently implemented a version
of this change.

	representation.  The argument type must have been added to the type
	table, so we do this after all type definitions have been added.

	Move code to compute cheaper_tag_test here.

compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Generate different code to construct/deconstruct direct argument

	are a subset of those which require no secondary tag.

	Output "MR_SECTAG_NONE_DIRECT_ARG" instead of "MR_SECTAG_NONE" in
	RTTI structures when applicable.

57f9013259 Start a C# backend, adapted from mlds_to_java.m.
Branches: main

Start a C# backend, adapted from mlds_to_java.m.

Some `pragma foreign_*' declarations are commented out in this change because
no bootstrap compiler will yet accept "C#" in the language specification.

The compiler already supported C# foreign_procs for the IL backend, but the IL
backend and this new backend do not agree on naming and calling conventions so
the changes to the existing C# foreign_procs will further break the IL backend.
Nobody cares.

Only tested so far with Mono on Linux.

compiler/mlds_to_cs.m:
        New module.  In the CVS Attic there exists an obsolete file named
        mlds_to_csharp.m (replaced by mlds_to_managed.m) which we don't want to
        conflict with.

        For C# we need to know if a `pragma foreign_type' is a value or
        reference type.  Currently this is done by accepting a fake keyword
        `valuetype' before the type name, like for IL.

compiler/ml_backend.m:

compiler/mercury_compile_mlds_back_end.m:

        Handle `target_csharp' like `target_java', except for features which
        are still to be implemented.

compiler/add_pragma.m:
        Allow C# as a `pragma foreign_export' language.

library/builtin.m:
library/rtti_implementation.m:
library/type_desc.m:
        Implement RTTI procedures for the new backend, which uses a high-level
        data representation (like the Java backend).  The existing C# code was
        designed for the IL backend, which used a low-level representation of
        the RTTI data structures.

        Most (if not all) of the the "new" code is exactly the same as the Java
        versions, with only syntactic changes.

        Rename the C# class `void_0' to `Void_0' to match the naming convention
        used by mlds_to_cs.m.

library/array.m:
        Update the existing C# code to work with the new backend.

        Use `object[]' as the type of all array of non-primitive types.
        The problem is one we encountered on the Java backend: when creating a
        new array based on the type of a single element, we don't know whether
        the new array should contain elements of the class or superclass.

library/bool.m:
        Export `bool' constants to C#.

library/exception.m:
        Update the existing C# code to work with the new backend.

        Move the `mercury.runtime.Exception' C# class to mercury_dotnet.cs.

library/float.m:
        Add C# implementations of `is_nan' and `is_inf'.

library/list.m:
        Add methods for manipulating lists from hand-written C# code.

library/string.m:
        Add C# implementations of string procedures which were missing.

library/dir.m:
library/io.m:
library/library.m:
        Update the existing C# code to work with the new backend.

library/private_builtin.m:
        Update the existing C# code to work with the new backend.

        Delete the static constants which are duplicated in mercury_dotnet.cs.
        The mlds_to_cs.m will emit references to the constants in the latter
        only.

library/backjump.m:
library/bitmap.m:
library/mutvar.m:
library/par_builtin.m:
library/region_builtin.m:
library/store.m:
library/thread.m:
library/thread.semaphore.m:
library/time.m:
library/univ.m:
        Make these modules compile with the C# backend.

runtime/mercury_dotnet.cs.in:
        Add RTTI classes to the `mercury.runtime' namespace, equivalent to
        those on the Java backend.

        Use enumerations `MR_TYPECTOR_REP_*' and `MR_SECTAG_*' constants so we
        can switch on them.

        Add the `UnreachableDefault' exception class.

        Hide old classes which are unused with the new backend behind
        #ifdef !MR_HIGHLEVEL_DATA.

f4139d8d69 Remove support for the old C interface. The parser still recognises the old
pragmas but it now emits an error message saying what pragma in the "new"
foreign language interface to use instead.  (That will be deleted after the
next release.)

Remove support for nondet foreign code from the implementation.

Add some bits from the old C interface chapter of the reference manual,
about linking with C object files and the c_pointer type, to the chapter
on the foreign language interface; delete the rest.

Add an illustration of simulating nondet foreign code with Mercury clauses
and (semi)deterministic foreign_procs.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Delete the old C interface chapter.

	Add a section on linking against C object files to the C specific
	section of the foreign language interface chapter.  (The old version of
	this was quite mmake-specific, the new version attempts to minimise
	this.)

	Mention the c_pointer type in section on C foreign types.

	Mention that nondet foreign_procs are not allowed.  Give an example
	to use foreign code and nondeterminism.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Emit error messages when any of the pragmas used by the old C interface
	are encountered.

compiler/prog_item.m:
	Delete the parse tree representation of import pragmas.

Split up three big compiler modules: llds_out.m, hlds_out.m (5000+ lines each)
and deep_profiling.m (3000+ lines). Put the predicates in the resulting
smaller modules into cohesive groups where possible. A few of the predicates
in the original modules were unused; this diff deletes them.

There are no algorithmic changes.

compiler/llds_out_code_addr.m:
	New module containing the part of llds_out.m that outputs
	code addresses and labels.

compiler/llds_out_data.m:
	New module containing the part of llds_out.m that outputs
	lvals, rvals and their components.

compiler/llds_out_global.m:
	New module containing the part of llds_out.m that generates
	global static C data structures.

compiler/llds_out_instr.m:
	New module containing the part of llds_out.m that outputs
	instructions

compiler/llds_out_file.m:
	New module containing the top level part of llds_out.m,
	which coordinates the generation of a whole C source file.

compiler/llds_out_util.m:
	New module containing the utility parts of llds_out.m.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Replace everything in this file with just the includes of the
	submodules that now have all its previous contents.

compiler/hlds_llds.m:
	Move a predicate here from llds_out.m, since it is a utility
	predicate operating on a type defined here.

compiler/rtti_out.m:
	Move a predicate here from llds_out.m, since it is a predicate
	generating output from a rtti type.

compiler/hlds_out_mode.m:
	The part of hlds_out.m that deals with writing out insts and modes.

compiler/hlds_out_goal.m:
	The part of hlds_out.m that deals with writing out goals.

compiler/hlds_out_pred.m:
	The part of hlds_out.m that deals with writing out predicates and
	procedures.

compiler/hlds_out_module.m:
	The part of hlds_out.m that deals with writing out module-wide tables.

compiler/hlds_out_util.m:
	Parts of hlds_out.m that don't fit in anywhere else.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Replace everything in this file with just the includes of the
	submodules that now have all its previous contents.

compiler/simplify.m:
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Move some insts from simplify.m to hlds_goal.m to allow
	hlds_out_goal.m to use them also.

compiler/coverage_profiling.m:
	The part of deep_profiling.m that deals with coverage profiling.

compiler/deep_profiling.m:
	Remove the code moved to coverage_profiling.m, and export the utility
	predicates needed by coverage_profiling.m.

	Remove the things moved to prog_data.m and hlds_goal.m.

	Put the predicates into a more logical order.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Move some predicates here from deep_profiling.m, since they
	belong here.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Move a type from deep_profiling.m here, since it belongs here.

compiler/add_pragma.m:

4c4c80b5f6 More compiler speedups for hlc grades by eliminating redundant work.
Estimated hours taken: 6
Branches: main

More compiler speedups for hlc grades by eliminating redundant work.

compiler/c_util.m:
	c_util.set_line_num used to account for 7% of the compilation time
	on training_cars_full.m, mostly because of unnecessary name mangling,
	as well as repeated lookups of the line_numbers option.

	After this diff, we don't mangle names that do not need to be mangled
	(testing the need for mangling as rarely as possible), and we provide
	a means for our caller to tell us that line numbers are required,
	since in some cases they already know.

compiler/mlds_to_c.m:
	Look up the value of the line_numbers option just once, and then
	remember it.

	Rename a predicate to avoid an ambiguity.

compiler/mlds.m:
	The code of mercury_type_to_mlds_type could execute the same lookup
	on the type definition table three times in a row, though this fact
	was not apparent from the source code. In some circumstances, it
	could also invoke general-purpose predicates that did several tests
	even when it already knew their outcomes.

	This diff avoids the redundant lookup and tests.

	It also factors out some code into a separate predicate,
	and notes the similarity of this predicate to one in foreign.m.

compiler/foreign.m:
	Note the similarity of this code to code to mlds.m.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Provide a version of classify_type that allows mlds.m to avoid
	both redundant tests and redundant lookups of the type table.

b72243cadf Lookups in the map from type_ctors to their definitions are relatively
Estimated hours taken: 6
Branches: main

Lookups in the map from type_ctors to their definitions are relatively
expensive, due to the cost of repeatedly comparing type_ctors, comparisons
that are relatively expensive. This diff replaces that direct map
with a two-stage map, the first stage being a map on the type constructor name
(a plain string), and the second stage being a map of the full type_ctor.
Most of the job of searching is done by the first map, since the second map
can be expected to have only one entry most of the time.

An earlier diff yielded a reduction of 1.1% in compilation time, as measured
by a version of tools/speedtest which compiles six modules in grade hlc.gc.
The speedup when compiling in grade asm_fast.gc was 0.6%. (The MLDS code
generator does more lookups of type definitions than the LLDS code generator.)
This diff also has some more changes that led to some further speedups, but
I don't have the original basis for comparison anymore.

Note that making the type table's type abstract leads to a slowdown,
but the faster data structure more than compensates for it.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Make the type table an abstract type, and change its representation
	as described above. Provide the operations on it that are needed
	by the other modules of the compiler.

compiler/*.m:
	Use the operations provided by hlds_data.m instead of operations on
	maps to access the type table.

	In several cases replace old code that iterated on keys and looked up
	the associated values in the map, with new code that iterates on an
	association list that puts the value right next to its key (a list
	that the old code just threw away).

	In other cases, change code that iterated on a list of the keys
	to iterating on the whole assoc_list instead, paying attention only
	to the keys. This is faster, since it avoids allocating memory
	for the list of keys.

compiler/type_ctor_info.m:
	This module used to use a roundabout method of generating
	type_ctor_gen_infos for the builtin types conceptually defined
	in builtin.m. It used to add their type_ctors to the list of
	user-defined type_ctors it processed, and the code that processed
	each type_ctor would check whether it was one of these, and if yes,
	handle them specially.

	This diff makes the code handle these builtin type_ctors and
	user-defined type_ctors separately, avoiding a whole bunch of tests.

compiler/typecheck_errors.m:
	Sort lists of types shown in error messages. The new data type table
	would naturally lead to slightly different orders of types in error
	messages than the old one; this change neutralizes such effects
	for the future.

tests/invalid/ambiguous_overloading.err_exp:
tests/invalid/errors2.err_exp:
tests/warnings/ambiguous_overloading.exp:

ac3d1c6027 Expose correct types to Java foreign code, e.g. a variable with a non-foreign
Branches: main

Expose correct types to Java foreign code, e.g. a variable with a non-foreign
type like `list(T)' is now visible to Java foreign code with the type
`list.List_1' instead of `java.lang.Object'.

A complication is that foreign code for mutables is generated in the compiler
frontend, which doesn't know about the types used by the backends.  For Java,
mutable variables had the generic type `Object' (except for primitives types)
but as we now generate foreign procs with the correct variable types, the code
for accessing a mutable would be type incorrect, e.g.

        X = mutable_var;  /* list.List_1 = Object */

Here we handle generated mutable predicates as a special case, using `Object'
for the global variable and argument types and generating typecasts as before.
The correct fix would be to move mutable code generation into the backends.


compiler/make_hlds_passes.m:
        Make Java mutable variables always have the type `java.lang.Object'.

        Mark Java mutable predicates with `may_not_duplicate' attributes, as
        the generated code doesn't contain class-qualifiers for the mutable
        variable, so copying that code into other Java files won't work.

compiler/mlds.m:
        Add a new target code component `target_code_type(Type)' which is a
        placeholder for a type, to be substituted by the backend when target
        code is being printed out.

compiler/ml_code_gen.m:
        Generate Java foreign procs using `target_code_type' to declare local
        variables, except for mutable predicates as described above.

        Rename a predicate shared for C and Java.

        Assign dummy type variables the value `null' in the Java backend
        instead of `0'.

compiler/foreign.m:
        Add a comment for `exported_type_to_string'.

compiler/mlds_to_java.m:
        Handle the addition of `target_code_type'.

        Output `java.lang.Output' for builtin dummy types.  We were
        inconsistent as to whether builtin dummy types should be represented by
        `int' or `Object'.

        Output line number context in another spot.

d69ba1a1f0 Include the type_ctor in cons_ids for user-defined types.
Estimated hours taken: 32
Branches: main

Include the type_ctor in cons_ids for user-defined types. The intention is
two-fold:

- It prepares for a future in which we allow more than one function symbol to
  with the same name to be defined in a module.

- It makes the HLDS code more self-contained. In many places, processing
  construction and deconstruction unifications required knowing which type
  the cons_id belongs to, but until now, code couldn't know that unless it
  kept track of the type of the variable unified with the cons_id.

With this diff, user-defined cons_ids are represented as

	cons(SymName, Arity, TypeCtor)

The last field is filled in during post-typecheck. After that time, any module
qualification in the SymName (which may initially be partial) is redundant,
since it is also available in the TypeCtor.

In the future, we could make all those SymNames be just unqualified(_) at that
time. We could also replace the current maps in HLDS type definitions with
full cons_id keys with just name/arity keys (since the module qualifier is a
given for any given type definition), we could also support partially
qualified cons_ids in source code using a map from name/arity pairs to a list
of all the type_ctors that have function symbols with that name/arity, instead
of our current practice of inserting all possible partially module qualified
version of every cons_id into a single giant table, and we could do the same
thing with the field names table.

This diff also separates tuples out from user-defined types, since in many
respects they are different (they don't have a single type_ctor, for starters).
It also separates out character constants, since they were alreay treated
specially in most places, though not in some places where they *ought* to
have been treated specially. Take the opportunity to give some other cons_ids
better names.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Make the change described above, and document it.

	Put the implementations of the predicates declared in each part
	of this module next to the declarations, instead of keeping all the
	code until the very end (where it was usually far from their
	declarations).

	Remove three predicates with identical definitions from inst_match.m,
	inst_util.m and mode_constraints.m, and put the common definition
	in prog_data.m.

library/term_io.m:
	Add a new predicate that is basically a reversible version of
	the existing function espaced_char, since the definition of char_consts
	needs reversibilty.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	For functors of user-defined types, record their type_ctor. For tuples
	and char constants, record them as such.

097b45acec Fix two problems that together caused bug Mantis bug #44.
Estimated hours taken: 12
Branches: main

Fix two problems that together caused bug Mantis bug #44.

The first bug was that unify_gen.m wasn't checking whether a variable it was
adding to a closure was of dummy type or not.

The second bug was that the code for recognizing whether a type is dummy or not
recognized only two cases: builtin dummy types such as io.state, and types
with one function symbol of arity zero. In this program, there is a notag
wrapper around a dummy type. Since the representation of a notag type is
always the same as the type it wraps, this notag type should be recognized
as a dummy type too.

compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Fix the first bug by adding the required checks.

compiler/code_info.m:
	Add a utility predicate to factor out some now common code in
	unify_gen.m.

(The modifications to all the following files were to fix the second bug.)

compiler/hlds_data.m:
compiler/prog_type.m:
	Change the type_category type (in prog_type.m) and the enum_or_dummy
	type (in hlds_data.m) to separate out the representation of notag types
	from other du types. This allows the fix for the second bug, and
	incidentally allows some parts of the compiler to avoid the same tests
	over and over.

	To ensure that all places in the compiler that could need special
	handling for notag types get them, rename those types to
	type_ctor_category (since it does *not* take argument types into
	account) and du_type_kind respectively.

	Since the type_ctor_category type needs to be modified anyway,
	change it to allow code that manipulates values of the type to
	factor out common code fragments.

	Rename some predicates, and turn some into functions where this helps
	to make code (either here or in clients) more robust.

compiler/make_tags.m:

cc88711d63 Implement true multi-cons_id arm switches, i.e. switches in which we associate
Estimated hours taken: 40
Branches: main

Implement true multi-cons_id arm switches, i.e. switches in which we associate
more than one cons_id with a switch arm. Previously, for switches like this:

	(
		X = a,
		goal1
	;
		( X = b
		; X = c
		),
		goal2
	)

we duplicated goal2. With this diff, goal2 won't be duplicated. We still
duplicate goals when that is necessary, i.e. in cases which the inner
disjunction contains code other than a functor test on the switched-on var,
like this:

	(
		X = a,
		goal1
	;
		(
			X = b,
			goalb
		;
			X = c
			goalc
		),
		goal2
	)

For now, true multi-cons_id arm switches are supported only by the LLDS
backend. Supporting them on the MLDS backend is trickier, because some MLDS
target languages (e.g. Java) don't support the concept at all. So when
compiling to MLDS, we still duplicate the goal in switch detection (although
we could delay the duplication to just before code generation, if we wanted.)

compiler/options.m:
	Add an internal option that tells switch detection whether to look for
	multi-cons_id switch arms.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Set this option based on the back end.

	Add a version of the "trans" dump level that doesn't print unification
	details.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Extend the representation of switch cases to allow more than one
	cons_id for a switch arm.

	Add a type for representing switches that also includes tag information
	(for use by the backends).

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	For du types, record whether it is possible to speed up tests for one
	cons_id (e.g. cons) by testing for the other (nil) and negating the
	result. Recording this information once is faster than having
	unify_gen.m trying to compute it from scratch for every single
	tag test.

	Add a type for representing a cons_id together with its tag.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Print out the cheaper_tag_test information for types, and possibly
	several cons_ids for each switch arm.

	Add some utility predicates for describing switch arms in terms of
	which cons_ids they are for.

	Replace some booleans with purpose-specific types.

	Make hlds_out honor is documentation, and not print out detailed
	information about unifications (e.g. uniqueness and static allocation)
	unless the right character ('u') is present in the control string.

compiler/add_type.m:
	Fill in the information about cheaper tag tests when adding a du type.

compiler/switch_detection.m:
	Extend the switch detection algorithm to detect multi-cons_id switch
	arms.

	When entering a switch arm, update the instmap to reflect that the
	switched-on variable can now be bound only to the cons_ids that this
	switch arm is for. We now need to do this, because if the arm contains
	another switch on the same variable, computing the can_fail field of
	that switch correctly requires us to know this information.
	(Obviously, an arm for a single cons_id is unlikely to have switch on
	the same variable, and for arms for several cons_ids, we previously
	duplicated the arm and left the unification with the cons_id in each
	copy, and this unification allowed the correct handling of any later
	switches. However, the code of a multi-cons_id switch arm obviously
	cannot have a unification with each cons_id in it, which is why
	we now need to get the binding information from the switch itself.)

	Replace some booleans with purpose-specific types, and give some
	predicates better names.

compiler/instmap.m:
	Provide predicates for recording that a switched-on variable has
	one of several given cons_ids, for use at the starts of switch arms.

	Give some predicates better names.

compiler/modes.m:
	Provide predicates for updating the mode_info at the start of a
	multi-cons_id switch arm.

compiler/det_report.m:
	Handle multi-cons_id switch arms.

	Update the instmap when entering each switch arm, since this is needed
	to provide good (i.e. non-misleading) error messages when one switch on
	a variable exists inside another switch on the same variable.

	Since updating the instmap requires updating the module_info (since
	the new inst may require a new entry in an inst table), thread the
	det_info through as updateable state.

	Replace some multi-clause predicate definitions with single clauses,
	to make it easier to print the arguments in mdb.

	Fix some misleading variable names.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Update the instmap when entering each switch arm and thread the
	det_info through as updateable state, since the predicates we call
	in det_report.m require this.

compiler/det_util.m:
	Handle multi-cons_id switch arms.

	Rationalize the argument order of some access predicates.

compiler/switch_util.m:
	Change the parts of this module that deal with string and tag switches
	to optionally convert each arm to an arbitrary representation of the
	arm. In the LLDS backend, the conversion process generated code for
	the arm, and the arm's representation is the label at the start of
	this code. This way, we can duplicate the label without duplicating
	the code.

	Add a new part of this module that associates each cons_id with its
	tag, and (during the same pass) checks whether all the cons_ids are
	integers, and if so what are min and max of these integers (needed
	for dense switches). This scan is needed because the old way of making
	this test had single-cons_id switch arms as one of its basic
	assumptions, and doing it while adding tags to each case reduces
	the number of traversals required.

	Give better names to some predicates.

compiler/switch_case.m:
	New module to handle the tasks associated with managing multi-cons_id
	switch arms, including representing them for switch_util.m.

compiler/ll_backend.m:
	Include the new module.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Note the new module.

compiler/llds.m:
	Change the computed goto instruction to take a list of maybe labels
	instead of a list of labels, with any missing labels meaning "not
	reached".

compiler/string_switch.m:
compiler/tag_switch.m:
	Reorganize the way these modules work. We can't generate the code of
	each arm in place anymore, since it is now possible for more than one
	cons_id to call for the execution of the same code. Instead, in
	string_switch.m, we generate the codes of all the arms all at once,
	and construct the hash index afterwards. (This approach simplifies
	the code significantly.)

	In tag switches (unlike string switches), we can get locality benefits
	if the code testing for a cons_id is close to the code for that
	cons_id, so we still try to put them next to each other when such
	a locality benefit is available.

	In both modules, the new approach uses a utility predicate in
	switch_case.m to actually generate the code of each switch arm,
	eliminating several copies the same code in the old versions of these
	modules.

	In tag_switch.m, don't create a local label that simply jumps to the
	code address do_not_reached. Previously, we had to do this for
	positions in jump tables that corresponded to cons_ids that the switch
	variable could not be bound to. With the change to llds.m, we now
	simply generate a "no" instead.

compiler/lookup_switch.m:
	Get the info about int switch limits from our caller; don't compute it
	here.

	Give some variables better names.

compiler/dense_switch.m:
	Generate the codes of the cases all at once, then assemble the table,
	duplicate the labels as needed. This separation of concerns allows
	significant simplifications.

	Pack up all the information shared between the predicate that detects
	whether a dense switch is appropriate and the predicate that actually
	generates the dense switch.

	Move some utility predicates to switch_util.

compiler/switch_gen.m:
	Delete the code for tagging cons_ids, since that functionality is now
	in switch_util.m.

	The old version of this module could call the code generator to produce
	(i.e. materialize) the switched-on variable repeatedly. We now produce
	the variable once, and do the switch on the resulting rval.

compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Use the information about cheaper tag tests in the type constructor's
	entry in the HLDS type table, instead of trying to recompute it
	every time.

	Provide the predicates switch_gen.m now needs to perform tag tests
	on rvals, as opposed to variables, and against possible more than one
	cons_id.

	Allow the caller to provide the tag corresponding to the cons_id(s)
	in tag tests, since when we are generating code for switches, the
	required computations have already been done.

	Factor out some code to make all this possible.

	Give better names to some predicates.

compiler/code_info.m:
	Provide some utility predicates for the new code in other modules.
	Give better names to some existing predicates.

compiler/hlds_code_util.m:
	Rationalize the argument order of some predicates.

	Replace some multi-clause predicate definitions with single clauses,
	to make it easier to print the arguments in mdb.
