656493dfdf Use separate types for the status of different entity kinds.
We used the old import_status type to represent the status of six different
kinds of entities:

- types
- insts
- modes
- typeclasses
- instances
- predicates

even though some statuses that made sense for one kind of entity didn't for
another another (e.g. predicates can be pseudo imported/exported, but the
other five kinds of entities cannot).

Create the new types type_status, inst_status, ..., pred_status to represent
the status of these entities in the HLDS. For now, these are just wrappers
around the renamed old_import_status type, but I plan to replace them with
status types that *are* specialized to the applicable kind of entity,
along the lines of compiler/notes/status_proposal. This is a necessary
first step towards that proposal.

compiler/status.m:
    Define the six new entity-kind-specific status types, and replicate
    the test predicates that used to work on the import_status type
    to work on these instead.

    Define a status type, item_mercury_status, that contains just the info
    that is common to all entities in an item block, for use during
    the process of adding items to the HLDS.

    Move the predicates that converted section markers to statuses
    from here to make_hlds_passes.m, since that is the only place
    where they are used, or can be used.

    Move the combine_status predicate here from add_type.m, since
    it is needed for combining the statuses of other kinds of entities
    as well, not just types.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
    Change the HLDS types that record the information we have about
    types, du type fields, insts, modes, typeclasses and instances
    to have kind-specific status fields, instead of the old generic
    import_status type.

    Change the prefix on the field names of the hlds_instance_defn type
    to avoid a name clash, and to make them more meaningful.

    Change the prefix on the field names of the hlds_class_defn type
    to make them more meaningful.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    Change the HLDS type that records the information we have about predicates
    to have a kind-specific status field, instead of the old generic
    import_status type.

    Update the predicates that test predicate statuses accordingly.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
    Change the HLDS types that record the information we have about
    type constructors to be type_status, not the old generic import_status.

compiler/make_hlds_passes.m:
    As we process each item block, pass along an item_mercury_status
    instead of an import_status. The code used to use only a subset
    of the possible values of the import_status type, since we can never say
    that all the entities in an item block are e.g. pseudo-exported.
    An item_mercury_status has just the information we actually *know*
    about the item block as a whole. We convert the item_mercury_status
    to a kind-specific status if and when we need to, but for several purposes,
    the item_mercury_status is enough on its own.

    In a few cases, add a new predicate to do this conversion.

    Pass the need_qualifier flag separately from the status. It is needed
    in only a few places, but this was not apparent when we always passed it
    around paired with the import_status.

    Move the predicates that converted section markers to statuses
    to here from status.m, since here is the only place where they are used,
    or can be used.

compiler/add_class.m:
    Convert the statuses of typeclasses and instances to the statuses
    of the predicates implementing their virtual and concrete methods.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
    Simplify some over-complex code.

compiler/add_special_pred.m:
    Convert the statuses of types to the statuses of the predicates
    implementing their unify, index, compare and solver init operations.
    Note some places where the process of this conversion is (to say the least)
    unclear and undocumented.

compiler/hlds_out_util.m:
    Provide utility predicates to print all the new kinds of statuses.
    These replace the old predicate that did the same in hlds_out_pred.m,
    but printing e.g. type statuses in hlds_out_pred doesn't seem right.

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

    Consistently use switches on the booleans returned by xxx_status_to_write,
    instead wrapping a semidet predicate around it and calling that.
    The switches yield code that is both smaller and more maintainable.

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

    Delete a simple wrapper predicate that was used only in one place.
    That place now does the wrapping itself.

compiler/qual_info.m:
    Replace the import_status field in the qual_info with a simple
    is_opt_imported/is_not_opt_imported flag, since that was the only
    thing we used the import_status field for.

ea094b5bb7 Make the import_status type part of the HLDS.
The import_status type was defined in parse_tree.status.m, but it is
not actually used in the parse_tree package. It is used, extensively,
in the hlds package.

compiler/status.m:
compiler/prog_item.m:
compiler/prog_data.m:
    Move the parts of status.m that *are* needed in the parse_tree package
    to modules in that package. The section markers and the import_locn type
    are moved to prog_item.m, while the need_qualifier type is moved to
    prog_data.m.

compiler/parse_tree.m:
compiler/hlds.m:
    Switch the status.m module from being in the parse_tree package
    to being in the hlds package.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
    Document the switch.

compiler/*.m:
    Update import_module declarations as needed after the above change.

    In some places, import parse_tree.prog_item as well as hlds.status,
    even if we are only intested in statuses, because the import_locn type,
    which part of some statuses, *is* used in the parse_tree package,
    and must therefore be defined there. These undesirable dependencies
    will go away when we implement the proposal for purpose-specific status
    types.

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/intermod.m:
compiler/try_expand.m:
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
    with unused_imports.m.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
    Document a problem with the status of instance definitions.

compiler/hlds_out_module.m:
    Update the code that prints out the module_info to conform to the change
    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.

compiler/prog_item.m:
    Add a convenience predicate.

compiler/prog_data.m:
    Remove a type synonym that makes things harder to understand, not easier.

compiler/modules.m:
    Delete an XXX that asks for the feature this diff implements.
    Add another XXX about how that feature could be improved.

compiler/Mercury.options.m:
    Add some more modules to the list of modules on which the compiler
    should be invoked with --no-warn-unused-imports.

compiler/*.m:
library/*.m:
mdbcomp/*.m:
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.

04dec8c205 Carve vartypes.m, prog_detism.m and prog_rename.m out of prog_data.m.
Besides defining most of the types representing the smaller parts of
parse trees (parts smaller than items), prog_data.m also has many utility
predicates that operate on values of these types. Carve the three substantial
clusters of predicates out of prog_data.m, and move them into their own
modules, which are each imported by fewer modules than prog_data.m itself.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

f2043fc9bd Replace the item list with more structured ASTs.
The parts of the compiler that run before the HLDS is constructed used to use
a raw list of items to represent source files (.m), interface files (.int0,
.int3, .int2 and .int) and optimization files (.opt, and .trans_opt).
These lists had structure, but this structure was implicit, not explicit,
and its invariants were never really documented.

This diff changes that. It replaces the item list with FIVE separate types.

Three of these each represent the unprocessed content of one file:

- parse_tree_int represents the contents of one interface file;
- parse_tree_opt represents the contents of one optimization file;
- parse_tree_src represents the contents of one source file.

Two of these each represent the processed contents of one or more files:

- raw_compilation_unit represents the contents of one module in a source file.
  (The source file may contain several nested modules; the compilation unit
  represents just one.)
- aug_compilation_unit represents the contents of one module in a source file,
  just like raw_compilation_unit, but it is augmented with the contents of the
  interface and optimization files of the other modules imported (directly or
  indirectly) by the original module.

These five separate concepts all used to be represented by the same type,
list(item), but different invariants applied to the structure of those lists.
The most important of those invariants at least are now explicit in the types.
I think it is entirely possible that there are other invariants I haven't
discovered and documented (for example, .int3 files must have stricter
invariants on what can appear in them than .int files), but discovering
and documenting these should be MUCH easier after this change.

I have marked many further opportunities for improvements with "XXX ITEM_LIST".
Some of these include moving code between modules, and the creation of new
modules. However, I have left acting on those XXXs until later, in order to
keep the size of this diff down as much as possible, for easier reviewing.

compiler/prog_item.m:
    Define the five new AST types described above, and utility predicates
    that operate on them.

    In the rest of this change, I tried, as much as possible, to change
    predicates that used to take item lists as arguments to make them change
    one of these types instead. In many cases, this required putting
    the argument lists of those predicates into a more consistent order.
    (Often, predicates that operated on the contents of the module
    took the name of the module and the list of items in the module
    not just as separate arguments, but as separate arguments that
    weren't even next to each other.)

    Define types that identify the different kinds of interface and
    optimization files (.int, .int2 etc). These replace the string suffixes
    we used to use to identify file types. Predicates that used to take strings
    representing suffixes as arguments now have to specify whether they can
    handle all these file types (source, interface and optimization),
    or just (e.g.) all interface file types.

    We used to have items corresponding to `:- module' and `:- end_module'.
    Delete these; this information is now implicit in the structure of the
    relevant AST. The parser handles the corresponding terms as markers,
    not items; these markers are live only during parsing.

    We used to have module_defns corresponding to `:- interface' and
    `:- implementation'. Delete these; this information is now also implicit
    in the structure of the relevant AST. Delete also, for the same reason,
    the module_defns used to mark the starts of sublists in the overall lists
    of items whose items came from the interface files or optimization files
    of other modules. The former are now markers during parsing. The latter
    are never parsed, but are created directly, after parsing has been done.

    Delete the pragma type for `:- pragma source_file'. This is never
    needed later; it is now a marker during parsing.

    Change the internal representation of `:- import' and `:- use'.
    It used to store a list of module names, but that list was an actual list
    only during parsing; after that, it always had exactly one element.
    It now stores one module name, and the parser has a mechanism to convert
    one read-in term to more than one item, for use with terms such as
    `:- import_module a, b'.

    Delete the internal representation of `:- export', which was never
    implemented, since if it IS ever implemented, it will almost certainly
    be in a different form, which will need different support.

    Document some further opportunities for simplification, later.
    (This diff is already more than big enough.)

compiler/prog_io_item.m:
    Rewrite the top-level part of this module. Instead of returning an item
    for every parsed term, distinguish between parsing items that end up
    in item lists inside ASTs, and parsing markers that end up creating
    the STRUCTURE of those ASTs.

compiler/prog_io.m:
    Rewrite the meat of this module. Instead of reading in a simple item list,
    we now have to read in three different parse trees with three different
    grammars, each of which is more complex than a simple list.

compiler/read_modules.m:
    We used to have a map that mapped file names to the contents of those
    files. We now need three separate maps, for interface files, optimization
    files and source files, due to their separate types.
    (We don't actually use the map for optimization files, which seems
    to be a potential performance bug. The root cause of that problem
    us that while intermod.m and the grab_*modules part of modules.m do
    similar jobs, they don't use the same mechanisms.)

    Replace the read_module predicate with the predicates read_module_src
    and read_module_int, since these now return different types.

    To avoid having to create AST-type-specialized variants of
    read_module_ignore_errors and read_module_if_changed, give each of
    read_module_{src,int} arguments that optionally tell them to ignore errors
    and/or to read the module only if changed (though the "and" part of
    "and/or" should not be needed.) These options already existed, but
    they weren't exported.

compiler/timestamp.m:
    Define the type we use for this option in read_modules.

compiler/status.m:
    New module, containing mostly

    - stuff carved out of hlds_pred.m, which defines the import_status type,
      and the predicates that operate on it;
    - stuff carved out of make_hlds_passes.m, which defines the item_status
      type and the predicates that operate on that; and
    - stuff carved out prog_data.m, which defines the section (now
      module_section) and import_locn types.

    It also contains the new section kinds we now use to represent item blocks
    that were imported from interface and optimization files.

compiler/parse_tree.m:
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
    Add status.m to the parse_tree package.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/prog_data.m:
    Remove the stuff now in status.m.

compiler/error_util.m:
    Provide a mechanism to control the order of messages with respect to
    ALL other messages, not just those that also specify ordering.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
    Provide predicates for printing out parse_tree_* and *_compilation_unit,
    since printing out a simple item list is no longer enough for debugging.

    Pretty-print type definitions nicely.

    Replace a boolean with a purpose-specific enum.

compiler/modules.m:
    Rewrite virtually all this module to make it work on the new AST
    representations. Generate more detailed error messages for duplicate
    module inclusions. Note lots of possibilities for further improvements,
    including in the documentation. Mark places I am still not sure about,
    especially places where I am not sure *why* the code is doing
    what it is doing.

compiler/module_imports.m:
    This module stores the data structure in which we accumulate the stuff
    imported into a compilation unit, i.e. it is in these data structures
    that a raw_compilation_unit becomes an aug_compilation_unit. Modify
    the data structure and the predicates that operate on it to work on the
    new AST representations, not on an (apparently) simple list of items.

    Avoid ambiguities by adding a prefix to field names.

    Add some convenience predicates.

compiler/module_qual.m:
    Perform module qualification on both raw lists of items (for use when
    generating .int3 files) but also on item blocks (for use pretty much
    in every other situation).

    Generate warnings about module imports that are unnecessarily in the
    module interface using the module's context (the context of the `:- module'
    declaration), not line 1 of the relevant file.

compiler/prog_io_error.m:
    Split some error categories more finely, since some error kinds here
    actually used to be reported for more than one distinct situation.

compiler/prog_io_util.m:
    Provide utility predicates that operate on nonempty lists.

compiler/recompilation.version.m:
    Make the comparison of the old and new contents of the interface file
    work on two parse_tree_ints, not on two raw sequences of items.

    Delete a boolean option that was always `yes', never 'no'.

compiler/recompilation.m:
    Turn some functions into predicates to allow the use of state variable
    notation.

    Avoid ambiguities by adding a prefix to field names.

compiler/write_module_interface_files.m:
    Besides updating the code in this module to work on the new parse tree
    representations, also use cords instead of reversed lists in several cases.
    Note many possibilities for further improvements.

library/list.m:
    Move the type one_or_more here from the compiler directory, since
    we now use it in more than one compiler module, and this is its natural
    home.

mdbcomp/sym_name.m:
    Rename "match_sym_name" to "partial_sym_name_matches_full", since this
    better describes its job.

    Add a det version of sym_name_get_module_name.

    Update the expected outputs in the invalid and warnings directories
    to account for one or more of the following five changes.

    Error messages that warn about a module not exporting anything
    used to always refer to line 1 of the module's source file.
    Now expect these messages to refer to the actual context of the module,
    which is the context of its `:- module' declaration.

    Expect a similarly updated context for messages that warn about
    unnecessarily importing modules in the interface, not in the
    implementation.

    Expect a similarly updated context for messages that warn about
    importing a module via both `:- import_module' and `:- use_module'.

    For the modules that follow the `:- module' declaration directly with code,
    also expect an error message about the missing section marker.

    For modules that have terms after the `:- end_module' declaration,
    replace "end_module" with "`:- end_module'" in the error message.

tests/invalid/func_class.{m,err_exp}:
    New test case. It is a copy of the old tests/valid/func_class.m, which
    is missing more than one module marker. The expected output is what I think
    we should generate. The test case currently fails, because we currently
    print only a subset of the expected errors. I am pretty sure the reason
    for that is that old code I have not modified simply throws away the
    missing error messages. Fixing this is work for the near future.

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

tests/misc_tests/pretty_print_test.exp:
    Expect the pretty-printed output to use four-space indentation,

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.

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

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

    Remove the unused setter predicate for the attributes field.

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

    Add a distinguishing prefix to the fields of pred_infos.

3080515d3a Add require_switch_arms_{det,semidet,...} to the language.
The new construct looks like this:

    require_switch_arms_det [C] (
        (
            C = 'a',
            ... compute Out ...
        ;
            C = 'b',
            ... compute Out ...
        )
    )

If any of the goals computing Out are not det, the compiler will generate
an error message. The det at the end of the keyword can be replaced
by any of the other seven determinisms, though I don't think either
require_switch_arms_failure or require_switch_arms_erroneous will see much use.

This diff adds only the implementation. I will add the documentation
and the NEWS item after we all had a chance to install this diff and
try it out.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
    Add a scope representing this kind of goal in the HLDS.

compiler/prog_item.m:
    Add a goal expression for this kind of goal in the parse tree.

compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
    Look for the new kind of goal expression in terms when creating
    the parse tree.

    Factor out some commonalities between the parsing of the new goal
    expression and existing types of goal expressions.

compiler/goal_expr_to_goal.m:
    Convert the new kind of goal expression to the new scope in the HLDS.

compiler/det_report.m:
    Implement the checks that the new goal type calls for.

    Factor out some commonalities between the implementation of the new goal
    type and existing goal types.

    Move the types and predicates dealing with comparisons of determinisms
    from here to prog_data.m, due to the sort-of-bugfix to modecheck_call.m.

compiler/prog_data.m:
    Move the types and predicates dealing with comparisons of determinisms
    from det_report.m to here. The old code for this was intended for only one
    requirement, and did not deal well with comparisons of two determinisms
    in which each determinism makes an assertion the other does not make.
    Create a way to represent such comparison results.

compiler/modecheck_call.m:
    When deciding which mode of a procedure to call, we prefer determinisms
    that make more assertions about solution counts. However, when comparing
    incomparable determinisms (such as semidet vs multi, each of which makes
    an assertion the other doesn't), the algorithm chose based solely
    on the ORDER of the modes. We now explicitly prefer modes that promise
    lower maximum solution counts, giving less importance to cannot_fail
    assertions.

compiler/*.m:
    Conform to the change to hlds_goal.m or prog_item.m.

library/ops.m:
    Add the new keywords as operators.

tests/hard_coded/require_scopes.{m,exp}:
    Extend this test case to test the new construct in the absence of errors.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Put these variables in the same order as the fields.

    Add a XXX about the possibility of similar bugs.

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

compiler/par_conj_gen.m:
    Improve some comments.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	Delete some unused fields from `lambda_info'.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

0e6792f106 Prepare to enable tail recursion in loop controlled code.
This patch prevents dep_par_conj.m from inserting get_future goals where they
are not necessary.  These goals where preventing tail recursion in examples
such as map_foldl (not the library predicate, but the one in our paper).

This patch also modifies the loop control scope reason, adding an extra field
that says if the spawned off code may use the parent stack or should setup a
new stack frame.

This patch makes it possible for Zoltan to begin contributing the missing parts
in the code generator.  Meanwhile I will work on the runtime system and the
par_loop_control.m code.

    references to the parent stack frame or if it should create a new stack
    frame on the child's stack.

2fe5cc93e2 The lambda expansion pass sometimes created predicates with misordered argument
Branches: main

The lambda expansion pass sometimes created predicates with misordered argument
modes.  I noticed this problem when compiling exception.m.

`expand_lambda' creates a map from corresponding lists of OrigVars and

whereas OrigArgModes is derived from the uni_modes of a `unification.construct'
term.

compiler/lambda.m:
	Take OrigVars from the list of arguments in the `unification.construct'
	term, which must be in the same order as the list of uni_modes right

138ac7f0c4 Propose changes to the HLDS that are needed by the loop control transformation.
The loop control transformation will introduce code that needs to be executed
by a different context, This code will need to communicate with the context
that created it, for parallel conjunctions this is done using an extra stack
pointer, the parent stack pointer.  We've chosen to use the same communication
mechanism for loop control, this means that the code generator must generate
instructions that use the parent stack pointer instead of the normal stack
pointer.  A extra labels and a join_and_terminate call must also be inserted by
the code generator.

So that the code generator can do this we've introduced a new scope reason,
code that would be forked off will be contained within such a scope, informing
the code generator that special code needs to be generated.  The scope reason
also contains two variables, the loop control and loop control slot variables.
These variables are needed by the join and terminate code.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
    Introduce new scope reason that marks code that must be handled differently
    during code generation Such code has had the loop control transformation
    applied to it and must be forked off to be executed on a different context.

585c1d623c Fix a problem with from_ground_term scopes.
Estimated hours taken: 20
Branches: main

Fix a problem with from_ground_term scopes. When they are built, the scopes
are tentantively marked as from_ground_term_construct scopes, and the
unifications inside them are in a top down order. Mode analysis therefore
expected the unifications inside from_ground_term_construct scopes to have
that order.

The problem was that mode analysis, when it confirmed that a
from_ground_term scope is indeed a from_ground_term_construct scope,
itself reversed the order of the unifications, putting them in a bottom up
order. When mode analysis is reinvoked, either for unique mode checking, or
after cse_detection finds common subexpressions, this meant that
mode analysis found the unifications in the "wrong" order, and therefore
disregarded the scope, discarding all its performance benefits.

This diff separates out the two notions that we previously conflated.
The scope kind from_ground_term_construct now refers only to scopes
which are definitely known to construct ground terms. We can know that
only after mode analysis. Until then, from_ground_term scopes are now marked
as from_ground_term_initial. The two kinds have different though overlapping
sets of invariants; in particular, they promise different orderings of the
unifications in the scope.

This diff reduces the time needed to compile mas_objects.data.m
from about 221 seconds to about 8.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add the from_ground_term_initial kind. Document the invariants
	that each kind of from_ground_term scope promises.

compiler/superhomogeneous.m:
	Mark from_ground_term scopes initially as from_ground_term_initial,
	not from_ground_term_construct.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	Make the predicate that converts function calls that look like
	unifications (such as X = int.min) into actual function calls
	say whether it performed such a conversion.

compiler/purity.m:
	Use the new functionality in post_typecheck.m to convert
	from_ground_term_initial scopes into from_ground_term_other scopes
	if the conversion of a unification into a call means that we have to
	break an invariant expected of from_ground_term_initial scopes.

compiler/cse_detection.m:
compiler/switch_detection.m:
	Maintain the invariants we now expect of from_ground_term_deconstruct
	scopes.

compiler/modecheck_goal.m:
	Maintain the invariants we now expect of the different
	from_ground_term scopes.

	Avoid traversing such scopes if a previous invocation of mode analysis
	says we can.

	Optimize away from_ground_term_construct scopes if the variable being
	constructed is not needed later.

compiler/quantification.m:
	If the variable named in a from_ground_term_initial or
	from_ground_term_construct scope is not referred to outside the scope,
	set the nonlocals set of the scope to empty, which allows later
	compiler passes to optimize it away.

	Avoid some unnecessary work by the compiler.

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

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

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

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

Estimated hours taken: 12
Branches: main

Add two new kinds of scopes to the language: one that requires the goal inside
the scope to have a given determinism, and one that requires it
to be complete, i.e. to have arms for all the function symbols in the type of
the switched-on variable.

The first kind of scope adds the keywords

	require_det require_semidet
	require_multi require_nondet
	require_cc_multi require_cc_nondet
	require_erroneous require_failure

to the language. They are intended to be used like this:

	test_detism_scope(A, !IO) :-
	    (
		A > 10,
		require_det (
		    B = A * 2,
		    C = B mod 3
		),
		C = 1
	    ->
		X = C
	    ;
		X = A
	    ),
	    io.format("test_detism_scope(%d) = %d\n", [i(A), i(X)], !IO).

The second kind of scope adds the keyword require_complete_switch to
the language. They are intended to be used like this:

	do_test_switch_scope(A, X) :-
	    require_complete_switch [A] (
		(
		    A = f1,
		    fail

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.m:
compiler/mercury_compile_mlds_back_end.m:
        Hook up the C# backend.

compiler/globals.m:
        Add `target_csharp' as a target language.

compiler/options.m:
        Add `--csharp' and `--csharp-only' options and their synonyms.

compiler/handle_options.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.

        Allow C# for `pragma foreign_export_enum'.

        Conform to changes.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
        Accept C# as a language for `pragma foreign_type'.

        Accept `csharp' as the name of a grade in trace parameters.

        Reuse most of the code for implementing mutables on Java for C#.

        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.

        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.

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

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

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

62d7496a7e Significant further improvements in the worst-case behavior of the compiler
Estimated hours taken: 16
Branches: main

Significant further improvements in the worst-case behavior of the compiler
when working on code such as zm_eq20.m and zm_coerce_tuples.m. On my laptop,
zm_eq20.m and zm_coerce_tuples.m now compile in 2.5s and 12.9s respectively;
the times before were 86.4s and 54.0s. The sizes of the stage 110 HLDS dumps
(the stage just after lambda expansion) go from 8.5Mb and 760Mb (!) to
just 0.4Mb and 7.4Mb respectively.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Remember not just which typeinfos we have constructed, but also what
	type_ctor_infos, base_typeclass_infos and typeclass_infos we have
	constructed, so that we don't have to construct them again for code
	that is executed later.

	The maintenance of the additional maps adds some overhead that in
	typical code probably cannot be made back through the resulting
	reductions in the workload of later compiler passes. However,
	the avoidance of horrible worst-case behavior trumps small increases
	in normal-case runtime.

	For zm_coerce_tuples, polymorphism.m now generates as good HLDS code
	as can be expected within each lambda expression. There is still
	a lot of duplicated code, with each copy being in a different lambda
	expression, but factoring out these commonalities will require a
	fundamentally different approach.

	Avoid using the misleading prefix "TypeClassInfo_" on the names of
	variables holding base_typeclass_infos.

compiler/ml_elim_nested.m:
	Don't look for static definitions where they cannot occur anymore.

	When deciding whether a definition needs to be hoisted out,
	don't look for it being used in later static definitions,
	since all the static definitions are now elsewhere.

	In order to avoid running the compiler out of nondet stack space
	on zm_coerce_tuples.m, avoid the use of enumerating all the
	definitions in a potentially huge piece of MLDS by backtracking.

compiler/hlds_rtti.m:
	Avoid enumerating all the members of a potentially huge list
	by backtracking in order to avoid running the compiler out of nondet
	stack space on zm_coerce_tuples.m.

	I first tried to do this by constructing the list with det code,
	but this turned out not to fix the underlying problem, which was that
	almost all of the list's elements were copies of each other, and we
	then had to get rid of the copies. The actual fix is to gather the
	types we need directly as a set.

	Provide restrict_rtti_varmaps for use by lambda.m.

	Give the field names of the rtti_varmaps type a distinguishing prefix.

compiler/lambda.m:
	The fundamental reason for the bad performance of the equiv_type_hlds
	pass on zm_coerce_tuples.m was that even with the recent improvements
	to polymorphism.m, a couple of big predicates had about ten thousand
	variables each, and when lambda.m created about 200 new procedures
	from the lambda expressions inside them, it duplicated those huge
	vartypes and rtti_varmaps for each one.

	The fix is to restrict the vartypes and the rtti_varmaps of both
	the newly created procedures and the old procedure they were taken from
	to the variables that actually occur in them.

	We could potentially avoid the need to restrict the rtti_varmap
	of the original procedure for the new procedures created for lambda
	goals by having polymorphism.m give each rhs_lambda_goal its own
	rtti_varmap in the first place, but that would be future work.

	Use the "no lambda" version of quantification after the lambda pass,
	since we have just removed all the lambdas from the goal being
	quantified.

	Give the predicates of this module more expressive names.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Conform to the change in lambda.m.

compiler/equiv_type_hlds.m:
	Use specialized versions of the predicates in equiv_type.m, since
	the general versions do some things (finding circularities, recording
	used modules) that this pass does not need. Use some new predicates
	from the standard library to reduce overhead.

compiler/ml_optimize.m:
	In order to avoid running the compiler out of nondet stack space
	on zm_coerce_tuples.m, avoid the use of enumerating all the members
	of a potentially huge list by backtracking.

	Move a cheap test before a more expensive one.

compiler/modes.m:
compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
	Avoid some unnecessary overheads when modechecking typeinfos and
	related variables. One overhead was iteration over a list of exactly
	one element, another is a redundant lookup of the variable's type,
	and the third is the redundant setting of the unify context.

compiler/inst_match.m:
	Use set_tree234s instead sets to keep track of expansions in one group
	of predicates indicated by benchmarking.

library/list.m:
	Add a new predicate, list.find_first_match, which is a version of
	filter that returns only the first matching item. This is for use
	in ml_elim_nested.m.

	Make list.sort_and_remove_dups remove duplicates as it goes,
	not all at the end, since this (a) allows us to avoid a separate
	duplicate-elimination pass at the end, and (b) any duplicate eliminated
	in one merge pass reduces the workload for any later merge passes.

	Put some code in its proper order, since preserving tail recursion
	in Prolog is no longer an issue.

library/map.m:
	Add  versions of map.foldl{,2,3} and map.map_foldl{,2,3} that do not
	pass the key to the higher order argument, for use by some of the
	compiler modules above.

	Group the declarations of all the foldr predicates together.

library/tree.m:
	Make the same changes as in map.m, in order to implement map.m's new
	predicates.

library/varset.m:
	Minor style improvements.

library/set_tree234.m:
	Fix a wrong comment.

	Mention the new additions to the library.

77a6a6c10c Implement several more changes that together speed up compilation time
Estimated hours taken: 16
Branches: main

Implement several more changes that together speed up compilation time
on training_cars_full by 12%, and also improve tools/speedtest -h by 7.2%
and tools/speedtest by 1.6%.

The first change is designed to eliminate the time that the compiler spends
constructing error messages that are then ignored. The working predicates of
prog_io_sym_name used to always return a single result, which either gave
a description of the thing being looked, or an error message. However,
in many places, the caller did not consider not finding the thing being looked
for to be an error, and thus threw away the error message, keeping only
the "not found" indication. For each predicate with such callers, this diff
provides a parallel predicate that indicates "not found" simply by failing.
This allows us to eliminate the construction of the error message, the
preparation for the construction of the error message (usually by describing
the context), and the construction of the "ok" wrapper.

The second change is to specialize the handling of from_ground_term_construct
scopes in the termination analyzer. To make this easier, I also cleaned up
of the infrastructure of the termination analyzer.

The third change is to avoid traversing from_ground_term_construct scopes
in quantification.m when finding the variables in a goal, since termination
analysis no longer needs the information it gathers.

The fourth change is to avoid traversing second and later conjuncts in
conjunctions twice. The first step in handling conjunctions is to call
implicitly_quantify_conj, which builds up a data structure that pairs each
conjunct with the variables that occur free in all the conjuncts following it.
However, after this was done and each conjunct was annotated with its
nonlocals, we used to compute the variables that occur free in the conjunction
as a whole from scratch. This diff changes the code so that we now compute that
set based on the information we gathered earlier, avoiding a redundant
traversal.

The fifth change is to create specialized, lower-arity versions of many of
the predicates in quantification.m. These versions are intended for traversals
that take place after the compiler has replaced lambda expressions with
references to separate procedures. These traversals do not need to pass around
arguments representing the variables occurring free in the (now non-existent)
lambda expressions.

compiler/prog_io_sym_name.m:
	Make the first change described above.

	Change some predicate names to adopt a consistent naming scheme
	in which predicates that do the same job and differ only in how they
	handle errors have names that differ only in a "try_" prefix.

	Add some predicate versions that do common tests on the output
	of the base versions. For example, try_parse_sym_name_and_no_args
	is a version of try_parse_sym_name_and_args that insists on finding
	an empty argument list.

	Remove the unused "error term" argument that we used to need a while
	ago.

	Move some predicate definitions to make their order match the order of
	their declarations.

	Turn a predicate into a function for its caller's convenience.

compiler/term_constr_build.m:
	Make the second change described above by modeling each
	from_ground_term_construct scope as a single unification,
	assigning the total size of the ground term to the variable being
	built.

compiler/term_constr_util.m:
	Put the arguments of some predicates into a more standard order.

compiler/lp_rational.m:
	Change the names of some function symbols to avoid both the use of
	graphic characters that require quoting and clashes with other types.

	Change the names of some predicates to make their purpose clear,
	and to avoid ambiguity.

compiler/quantification.m:
	Make the third, fourth and fifth changes described above.

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

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.

compiler/builtin_lib_types.m:
compiler/parse_tree.m:
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	New module to centralize knowledge about builtin types, specially
	handled library types, and their function symbols. Previously,
	the stuff now in this module used to be in several different places,
	including prog_type.m and stm_expand.m, and some of it was duplicated.

mdbcomp/prim_data.m:
	Add some predicates now needed by builtin_lib_types.m.

compiler/builtin_ops.m:
	Factor out some duplicated code.

compiler/add_type.m:
	Include the relevant type_ctors in the cons_ids generated in type
	definitions.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Document an existing type better.

	Rename a cons_tag in sync with its corresponding cons_id.

	Put some declarations into logical order.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Rename a misleadingly-named predicate.

cc8923b7f7 Add support for `try' goals, syntactic sugar on top of the exception handling
Branches: main

Add support for `try' goals, syntactic sugar on top of the exception handling
predicates in the standard library.  The syntax is documented in the reference
manual.  Currently one of the proposed try parameters, io(!IO), is implemented.

Try goals are implemented by *two* source-to-source transformations, one at the
parse tree level, then a later one on the HLDS.  The reason for this is given
in try_expand.m.


library/ops.m:
	Add three new operators: try, catch, catch_any.

library/exception.m:
	Add forwarding predicates so that code generated by the try goal
	transformation doesn't need to import `univ'.

compiler/prog_item.m:
	Add representations of try goals to parse tree.

compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
	Parse try goals.

	Unrelated: fix spelling of "parameter".

compiler/add_clause.m:
	Perform the initial transformation on try goals.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add try goals to HLDS, as shorthand goals.

compiler/try_expand.m:
	New module to perform the latter transformation on try goals.

compiler/check_hlds.m:
	Import the new module.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Call the try_expand pass near the end of the front-end pass.

compiler/module_imports.m:
	Implicitly import `exception' if a `try' goal is seen.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Conform to addition of try goals in HLDS.  Make it not wrap a commit
	scope around the intermediate try goal (as it might if there are no
	outputs) as it is inappropriate.

	Conform to parse tree changes.

edda5238a1 Fix two bugs preventing the use of or_else alternatives to atomic
transaction scopes and nested atomic scopes.

The main issue was the code assuming that the inner stm interface variables
were the same for the main goal and the or_else goals, but quantification
renames these variables to be distinct.


library/stm_builtin.m
    Rename stm_from_outer_to_inner_io and stm_from_inner_to_outer_io, dropping
    the _io suffix. They are used when the outer type is stm as well as io.

compiler/hlds_goal.m
    Add a field to the atomic_goal structure to hold the names of the STM
    interface variables used in each or_else alternative, since quantification
    renames these variables to be distinct from those used in the main atomic
    goal.

compiler/purity.m
    Insert calls to the (renamed) dummy predicates stm_from_outer_to_inner and
    stm_from_inner_to_outer regardless of the type of the outer variable,
    instead of using the nonexistent stm_from_*_to_*_stm versions when the
    outer type is stm. Also use the inner STM interface variables specific to
    each or_else alternative when generating these calls.

compiler/quantification.m
    Explicitly rename the inner STM interface variables in each of the or_else
    alternatives before calling implicitly_quantify_disj, so that the new names
    of these variables can be stored in the atomic_goal structure.

compiler/typecheck.m
    Ensure all the inner STM interface variables are typed stm, not just the
    ones in the main goal.

5ad9a27793 Speed up the compiler's handling of code that constructs large ground terms
Estimated hours taken: 80
Branches: main

Speed up the compiler's handling of code that constructs large ground terms
by specializing the treatment of such code.

This diff reduces the compilation time for training_cars_full.m from 106.9
seconds to 30.3 seconds on alys, my laptop. The time on tools/speedtest
stays pretty much the same.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Record the classification of from_ground_term scopes as purely
	constructing terms, purely deconstructing them or something other.

	Fix an old potential bug: variables inside the construct_how fields
	of unifications weren't being renamed along with other variables.
	This is a bug if any part of the compiler later looks at those
	variables. (I am not sure whether or not this happens.)

compiler/superhomogenous.m:
	Provisionally mark newly constructed static terms as being
	from_ground_term_construct. Mode checking will either confirm this
	or change the scope kind.

compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
	Add a new option, from_ground_term_threshold, that allows the user to
	set the boundary between ground terms that get scopes and ground terms
	do not. I plan to experiment with different settings later.

compiler/modes.m:
	Make this classification. For scopes that construct ground terms,
	use a specialized algorithm that avoids quadratic behavior.
	(It does not access the unify_inst_table, which is where the
	factor of N other than the length of the goal list came from.)
	The total size of the instmap_deltas, if printed out, still looks like
	O(N^2) in size, but due to structure sharing it needs only O(N) memory.

	For scopes that construct ground terms, set the determinism information
	so that det_analysis.m doesn't have to traverse such scopes.

	When handling disjunctions, check whether some nonlocals of the
	disjunctions are constructed by from_ground_term_construct scopes.
	For any such nonlocals, set their insts to just ground, throwing away
	the precise information we have about exactly what function symbols
	they and ALL their subterms are bound to. This is HUGE win, since
	it allows us avoid spending a lot of time building a huge merge_inst
	table, which later passes of the compiler (e.g. equiv_type_hlds) would
	then have to spend similarly huge times traversing.

	This approach does have a down side. If lots of arms of a disjunction
	bind a nonlocal to a large ground term, but a few bind it to a SMALL
	ground term, a term below the from_ground_term_threshold, this
	optimization won't kick in. That could be one purpose of the new
	option. It isn't documented yet; I will seek feedback about its
	usefulness first.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
	Handle the three different kinds of right hand sides separately.
	This yields a small speedup, because now we don't test rhs_vars and
	rhs_functors (the common right hand sides) for a special case
	(goals containing "any" insts) that is applicable only to
	rhs_lambda_goals.

compiler/unique_modes.m:
	Don't traverse scopes that construct ground terms, since modes.m has
	already done everything that needs to be done.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Don't traverse scopes that construct ground terms, since modes.m has
	already done the needed work.

compiler/instmap.m:
	Add a new predicate for use by modes.m.

	Many predicate names in this module were quite uninformative; give them
	informative names.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	If this pass invalidates the from_ground_term_construct invariants,
	then mark the relevant scope as from_ground_term_other.

	Delete two unused access predicates.

compiler/equiv_type_hlds.m:
	Don't traverse scopes that construct ground terms, since modes.m
	ensures that their instmap deltas do not contain typed insts, and
	thus the scope cannot contain types that need to be expanded.

	Convert some predicates to single clauses.

compiler/goal_form.m:
compiler/goal_util.m:
	In predicates that test goals for various properties, don't traverse
	scopes that construct ground terms when the outcome of the test
	is the same for all such scopes.

	Convert some predicates to single clauses.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Do not look for common structs in from_ground_term_construct scopes,
	both because this speeds up the compiler, and because retaining
	references to ground terms is in fact a pessimization, not an
	optimization. This is because (a) those references need to be stored in
	stack slots across calls, and (b) the C code generators ensure that
	the cells representing ground terms will be shared as needed.

	If all arms of a switch are from_ground_term_construct scopes,
	do not merge the instmap_deltas from those arms, since this is
	both time-consuming (even after the other changes in this diff)
	and extremely unlikely to improve the instmap_delta.

	Disable common_struct in from_ground_term_construct scopes,
	since for these scopes, it is actually a pessimization.

	Do not delete from_ground_term_construct scopes, since many
	compiler passes can now use them.

	Do some manual deforestation, break up some large predicates,
	and give better names to some.

compiler/liveness.m
	Special-case the handling from_ground_term_construct scopes. This
	allows us to traverse them just once instead of three times, and this
	traversal is simpler and faster than any of the three.

	In some traversals, we were switching on the goal type twice; once
	in e.g. detect_liveness_in_goal_2, and once by calling
	goal_expr_has_subgoals. Eliminate the double switching by merging
	the relevant predicates. (The double-switching structure was easier
	to work with before we had multi-cons-id switches.)

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Move a lookup after a test, so we don't have to do it if the test
	fails.

	Provide a specialized mode for a predicate. This should allow the
	compiler to eliminate an argument and a test in the common case.

	Note a possible chance for a speedup.

compiler/typecheck_info.m:
	Don't apply empty substitutions to the types of a possibly very large
	set of variables.

compiler/quantification.m:
	Don't quantify from_ground_term_construct scopes. They are created
	correctly quantified, and any compiler pass that invalidates that
	quantification also removes the from_ground_term_construct mark.

	Don't apply empty renamings to a possibly very large set of variables.

	Move the code for handling scopes to its own predicate, to avoid
	overwhelming the code that handles other kinds of goals. Even from
	this, factor out the renaming code, since it is needed only for
	some kinds of scopes.

	Make some predicate names better reflect what the predicate does.

compiler/pd_cost.m:
	For from_ground_term_construct scopes, instead of computing their cost
	by adding up the costs of the goals inside, make their cost a constant,
	since binding a variable to a static term takes constant time.

compiler/pd_info.m:
	Add prefixes on field names to avoid ambiguities.

7460aadbf8 Implement higher-order any' insts. Pred or func expressions with an any'
Estimated hours taken: 100
Branches: main

Implement higher-order `any' insts.  Pred or func expressions with an `any'
inst may bind non-local solver variables, but themselves must not be
called in a negated context.  (The existing ground pred and func expressions
may not bind non-local solver variables, but may be called in a negated
context.)

Higher-order `any' insts are specified by using `any_pred' and `any_func'
in place of `pred' and `func', respectively.

We implement these insts by adding a new field to the any/1 constructor of
mer_inst, which is identical to the ground_inst_info field of the ground/2
constructor.  Both are given the new type `ho_inst_info'.  We then relax the
locking of non-local variables in these pred and func expressions, and extend
call/N and apply/N to also accept the new insts (provided the variables are
not locked).

We also store the groundness (ho_ground or ho_any) of each lambda expression
in a unification, in a new field in the rhs_lambda_goal constructor.

NEWS:
	Mention the new feature.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Rename the ground_inst_info type ho_inst_info, and update its
	documentation.

	Add the ho_inst_info field to the any constructor in mer_inst.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add the rhs_groundness field to rhs_lambda_goal in unify_rhs.

compiler/inst_match.m:
	Propagate inst matching into the pred_inst_infos of any insts,
	if they exist.

compiler/inst_util.m:
	Propagate abstract unification and inst merging into the
	pred_inst_infos of any insts, if they exist.  May use of this
	information when building ground, any, shared and mostly_unique
	versions of insts.

compiler/modecheck_call.m:
	Allow an `any' inst as the pred (func) argument to call/N (apply/N),
	but check that the variable is not locked.  If the variable is
	locked, report a mode error which suggests using the ground inst.
	(We could also suggest that the goal be made impure, but it is
	best to point users towards the pure approach.)

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
	Relax the locking of non-locals when processing non-ground lambda
	goals.

	Update documentation.

compiler/mode_util.m:
	Propagate type information into the pred_inst_infos of any insts.

compiler/mode_errors.m:
	Change the purity error "lambda should be impure" to "lambda
	should be any", since this is better advice.  Also provide an
	example of correct syntax if the verbose errors option is given.

compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
	Parse the new kinds of expressions, returning the groundness along
	with the existing information about lambda expressions.

compiler/superhomogeneous.m:
	Use the above groundness when building the lambda unification.

compiler/prog_io_util.m:
	Parse the new kind of insts, filling in the new ho_inst_info field
	where appropriate.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Handle the new fields.  Assume that the shorthand form of lambda
	expressions always defines a ground inst -- if users want non-ground
	higher-order expressions they will need to use an explicit any_pred
	or any_func expression.

compiler/equiv_type_hlds.m:
	Replace equivalent types in the pred_inst_infos of `any' insts.

compiler/module_qual.m:
	Module qualify the pred_inst_infos of `any' insts.

compiler/recompilation.usage.m:
compiler/unused_imports.m:
	Look for items or imports used by insts in the pred_inst_infos of
	`any' insts.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Output the new lambda expressions and insts in the correct format.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Treat all pred and func types as solver types.  (Effectively they
	are, since all such types can now have non-ground values, with
	call/N and apply/N acting as constraints.)

compiler/lambda.m:
	Pass the groundness value when building procedures for lambda
	expressions.  This is not currently required for anything.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Document the new feature, and update existing documentation on
	solver types and negated contexts.

tests/valid/Mmakefile:
tests/valid/ho_any_inst.m:
	New test case for some valid code using higher-order any insts.

tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
tests/invalid/ho_any_inst.err_exp:
tests/invalid/ho_any_inst.m:
	New test case for some illegal code.

tests/invalid/anys_in_negated_contexts.err_exp:
	Update expected error message for this test case.  We now report
	that the expression should be `any', rather than impure.

compiler/*.m:
	Handle the new fields.

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.

Estimated hours taken: 5
Branches: main

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	Delete --prev-code.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I renamed some function symbols and predicates to avoid ambiguities.

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

45fd0daf5a Implement some of Mark's wish list for making user events more useful.
Estimated hours taken: 20
Branches: main

Implement some of Mark's wish list for making user events more useful.

1. When executing "print *" in mdb, we used to print both the values of all
   attributes and the values of all live variables. Since some attributes'
   values were given directly by live variables, this lead to some things being
   printed twice. This diff eliminates this duplication.

2. At user events, we now print the name of the event. Whether we print the
   other stuff we also print at events (the predicate containing the event,
   and its source location) is now controlled by a new mdb command,
   "user_event_context".

3. We would like different solvers to be compilable independently of one
   another. This means that neither solver's event set should depend on the
   existence of the events needed by the other solvers. This diff therefore
   eliminates the requirement that all modules of the program be compiled with
   the same event set specification. Instead, a program may contain modules
   that were compiled with different event sets. Each event set is named;
   the new requirement is that different named event sets may coexist in the
   program (each being used to compile some modules), but two event sets with
   the same name must be identical in all other respects as well (we need this
   requirement to prevent inconsistencies arising between different versions of
   the same event set).

4. We now generate user events even from modules compiled with --trace shallow.
   The problem here is that user events can occur in procedures that do not
   get caller events and whose ancestors may not get caller events either.
   Yet these procedures must still pass on debugger information such as call
   sequence numbers and the call depth to the predicate with the user event.
   This diff therefore decouples the generation of code for this basic debugger
   infrastructure information from the generation of call events by inventing
   two new trace levels, settable by the compiler only (i.e. not from the
   command line). The trace level "basic_user" is for procedures containing a
   user event whose trace level (in a shallow traced module) would otherwise be
   "none". The trace level "basic" is for procedures not containing a user
   event but which nevertheless may need to transmit information (e.g. depth)
   to a user event. For the foreseeable future, this means that shallow traced
   modules containing user events will have some debugging overhead compiled
   into *all* their procedures.

runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
	Add a new field to MR_UserEvent structures, giving the HLDS number of
	the variable representing each attribute.

	Add a new field to module layout structures, giving the name of the

	Add the new trace levels to the MR_TraceLevel type.

	Update the current layout structure version number.

	Mark each procedure and each module that contains user events
	as containing user events.

	Use the same technique to mark each procedure that contains parallel
	conjunctions as containing parallel conjunctions, instead of marking
	the predicate containing the procedure. (Switch detection may eliminate
	arbitrary goals, including parallel conjunctions, from switch arms
	that are unreachable due to initial insts, and in any case we want to
	handle the procedures of a predicate independently from each other
	after mode analysis.)

	Also, change the code handling generic calls to switch on the generic
