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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

4615e7f559 Fix an argument number in a mode error.
This fixes an issue reported on m-users on sep 23, which was caused by
the compiler counting a type_info argument added by the polymorphism pass.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    Add a field for recording the number of arguments added by the
    polymorphism transformation. We could try to figure this out
    by counting how many type_info and/or typeclass info args
    the argument list contains as an initial subsequence,
    and the compiler has code that does that, but this approach
    is vulnerable if user code ever passes around e.g. type_infos
    *explicitly*, which would be very unusual, but not impossible.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
    Fill in this new field.

compiler/mode_errors.m:
    Use the new field to fix the argument number in the error message.
    (This seems to be the only mode error that makes such a reference.)

compiler/direct_arg_in_out.m:
    Conform to the change in hlds_pred.m above.

compiler/mode_info.m:
    Clarify some comments.

compiler/modes.m:
    Fix indentation.

tests/invalid/mode_error_arg_number.{m,err_exp}:
    The code in the original bug report, made into a new test case.
tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
    Enable the new test case.

tests/invalid/bug278.err_exp:
tests/invalid/bug415.err_exp:
tests/invalid/merge_ground_any.err_exp:
    Expect the correct argument number in these test cases. The old
    expected argument numbers were wrong, which means that we had missed
    at least three chances to find the bug that this diff fixes. The
    wrong argument number was in merge_ground_any.err_exp at its creation
    in 2001.

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

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

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

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

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

    Delete the unused predicate proc_info_ensure_unique_names.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Export the previously-private predicate transform_var_table
    to post_typecheck.

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

    Conform to the changes above. Mostly this means

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

edf9d4fa1b Document how two fields of mode_info work.
compiler/mode_info.m:
    Replace the documentation of the mi_mode_context field,
    which was a misleading short comment, with a description of how
    the field is actually used. Rename one of the function symbols,
    which was misleading, in its type.

    Add some documentation of the mi_inst_varset field. The documentation
    says how that field is actually handled in practice, though I don't know
    *why* it is handled that way.

compiler/mode_errors.m:
    Convert this module to use var_tables.

    Fix an ancient error that I think has escaped detection until now
    because it arises only in the presence of a mode error in a procedure
    whose mode is being inferred. The bug is that when we modecheck a call,
    say from p to q, and find no matching modes in the callee because
    its mode inference has generated errors, then we report those errors
    in the callee as part of the explanation of the error in the caller.
    That is fine. What was not fine is that we printed any variables
    in the callee's mode_error using the *caller's* varset. We now
    print them using the callee's var table.

compiler/type_util.m:
    Add a var_table-using variant of an existing predicate,
    for use in new code above.

compiler/pd_util.m:

tests/invalid/mode_inf.m:
    Modify this test case to make the caller and callee use disjoint
    sets of variable names, which is probably why the incorrect variables
    in the error message about the callee has not been noticed.

    Expect the updated, and now correct, version of that error message.

ea4f95a7ed Use var_tables in lco.m, and when dumping goals.
Since this is the first converted module that dumps out goals when
debugging trace flags are enabled, this required generalizing the code
that does that, to take either varsets or var_tables as a means of
specifying the names of variables. We do this via a new type,
var_name_source, which contains either a varset or a var_table.

Almost all of this diff is there to implement this generalization.
A large part of it affects code in the parse_tree package that we use
to write out the parts of HLDS goals that are defined by types defined
in that package. Since we want to avoid making any part of the parse_tree
package dependent on the hlds package, this required defining the
var_name_source type in the parse_tree package, which in turn requires
var_table.m to be in that same package.

compiler/lco.m:
    Convert this module to use var_tables instead of varsets and vartypes.

compiler/var_table.m:
    Move this module from the hlds package to the parse_tree package.

    To make this, possible, move the parts that required access to the HLDS
    to hlds_pred.m, from where it was usually invoked.

    Export some utility predicates to allow the moved code to work
    in hlds_pred.m without access to the actual definition of the
    var_table type.

    Define the var_name_source type.

    Add some utility functions for use by code writing out variable names.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    Add the code moved from var_table.m.

compiler/vartypes.m:
    Move this module from the hlds package to the parse_tree package,
    for symmetry with var_table.m. It did not depend on being in hlds
    in any way.

compiler/hlds.m:
compiler/parse_tree.m:
    Move vartypes.m and var_table.m from the hlds package
    to the parse_tree package.

compiler/hlds_out_goal.m:
    Change all the predicates in this module to take a var_name_source
    instead of a prog_varset.

    Fix some comments.

compiler/hlds_out_util.m:
    Change some of the predicates in this module (those called from
    hlds_out_goal.m) to take a var_name_source instead of a prog_varset.

compiler/parse_tree_out_term.m:
    Provide variants of some existing predicates and functions that take
    var_name_sources instead of varsets. The code of the copies
    duplicates the logic of the originals, though I hope that this
    duplication can be done away with at the end of the transition.
    (The best solution would be to use a typeclass with methods
    that convert vars to their names, but we would want to ensure
    that the compiler can specialize all the affected predicates
    and functions to the two instances of this typeclass, which is
    something that we cannot do yet. In the meantime, the lack of
    any generalization in the old versions preserves their performance.)

tools/sort_imports:
tools/filter_sort_imports:
    A new tool that automatically sorts any occurrences of consecutive
    ":- import_module" declarations in the named files. The sorting is done
    in filter_sort_imports; sort_imports loops over the named files.

    After automatically replacing all occurrences of hlds.{vartypes,var_table}
    in import_module declarations with their parse_tree versions, the updated
    import_module declarations were usually out of order with respect to
    their neighbours. I used this script to fix that, and some earlier
    out-of-order imports.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Conform to the change in pred_table.m.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Delete the unused predicates select_output_vars, select_output_things,

    of these predicates operates on only *one* unify_mode.

    Add a new field to the debug flags we set up when --debug-modes is enabled.
    This field specifies whether the debug output is from mode checking,
    or from *unique* mode checking. Without this, the two are far too easy
    to confuse, as I found out the hard way.

compiler/mode_debug.m:
    Use the new field to add visually distinguish mode checkpoints from

c3f39870a1 Clean up the representation of mode errors.
compiler/mode_errors.m:
    Give the function symbols representing the various kinds of mode errors
    more meaningful names. (Some fix misleading implications, such as when
    a function symbol name includes "pred", but the error applies to functions
    as well.) Do the same for other function symbols in this module.

    Where arguments are lists that should never be empty, change their type
    to one_or_more to encode this invariant.

    In one case (var_multimode_pred_error), the same data items were packaged
    in two different ways in two different places. Remove this unnecessary
    difference.

    In some cases, put arguments in a more logical order.

    Improve the comments on most of these function symbols, fixing errors,
    fixing omissions, documenting arguments. Add XXXs where warranted.

    Put the types used in the various kinds of mode errors below the
    mode_error type itself. Put them into meaningful groups.

    The current order of the mode_error function symbols is totally
    haphazard. Propose a new order for them, but do not implement it yet,
    in order to make this diff easier to review.

    Make the representation of the error that says "calling an implied mode
    for this predicate or function is not implemented" say *why* it is
    not implemented. Include this info in the error message we generate.
    This error message is not exercised by any existing test case, which is
    why there are no changes to test cases in this diff.

    Improve the explanation for why you cannot unify two functions or
    two predicates. Since this explanation occurs only in verbose output,
    no test case is affected by this change either.

    Improve variable names.

compiler/mode_info.m:
    Conform to the changes in mode_errors.m.

    If --debug-modes is specified, print each error message as it is added
    to the mode_info. This helped me track down a bug in this change.

3a1ed2efcb Replace simple_call_id with pf_sym_name_arity.
compiler/prog_data.m:
    Delete the simple_call_id data type, since it is isomorphic
    to the pf_sym_name_arity type, which more clearly specifies
    what is stored inside it.

compiler/prog_out.m:
    Rename (all three versions of) simple_call_id_to_string to
    pf_sym_name_orig_arity_to_string, both to conform to the change
    in the input data type, and to emphasize that the resulting string
    will contain the *original* arity of functions (which does not include
    the return value), which is one less than the arity in the
    pf_sym_name_arity structure (which, in accordance with the
    convention inside the compiler that the arity is the length
    of the argument list, *does* include the return value).

    Delete the provision inside simple_call_id_to_string, now
    pf_sym_name_orig_arity_to_string, for special handling of the names
    of the predicates we use to implement promises, because it seems that
    *none* of the call sites to any of the three versions of this function
    can actually pass to it the identity of such a predicate. These calls
    refer to a predicate or mode declaration item (which promise predicates
    do not have), to clause or foreign_proc items (which again, promise
    predicates cannot have) or calls to the predicate (promise predicates
    cannot be called).

    Delete the exported predicate simple_call_id_to_sym_name_arity.
    It was called from exactly one place, inside prog_out.m itself,
    and this diff inlines that call.

    Avoid unnecessary forwarding of work from prog_out.m to error_util.m.

    Delete (all three versions of) write_simple_call_id. The changes
    below replace all their (few) uses with calls to
    pf_sym_name_orig_arity_to_string.

compiler/error_util.m:
    Replace the simple_call() error piece with qual_pf_sym_name_orig_arity,
    and add a new version unqual_pf_sym_name_orig_arity. Their names
    explicitly say that they print the original arities of functions,
    also say whether they strip away any module qualification on the
    sym_name inside the pf_sym_name_arity. We prefer the unqual version
    in situations where the module qualifier is implicit, which usually means
    that it must be the same as the name of the module being compiled, because
    it reduces visual clutter for readers of error messages.

    Put {qual,unqual}_pf_sym_name_orig_arity next to their most closely
    related function symbols, {qual,unqual}_sym_name_arity, in the
    format_component type. (This yields a few inconsequential changes
    in the order of error_specs when sorted.)

    Add some sanity checks where they seem appropriate.

    Replace sequences of io.write_strings with uses of io.format where this
    yields clearer code. (This is why there were no remaining calls to
    write_simple_call_id.)

    Update all these expected output files. Most changes are due to
    predicate and function names no longer being module qualified when
    the module qualification is obvious. A few changes are due to the
    change in the relative ordering of the function symbols of the

    the changes to the non-C .exp files were done by hand, so they
    may have the wrong white space.

5722645ce5 Separate out type_info args and return values in mode error msgs.
compiler/mode_errors.m:
    When printing an error message that says "these args have these modes,
    which do not match any declared mode of the callee", avoid confusing
    users by not mentioning the extra type_info/typeclass_info args added by
    polymorphism, except in the very rare case that they could be the *cause*
    of the mode error.

    When the callee is a function, list its return value separately from
    the other arguments, again in an effort to reduce possible confusion.

compiler/mode_info.m:
    To make the above possible, record the actual pred_id of the callee
    for plain calls. This should actually be faster than the old code
    it replaces, because it avoids the computation of the call_id from
    the pred_id for all calls that do not result in error messages.

72fdbec2fd Improve diagnostics for currying multi-mode predicates.
The improvements take two forms.

The first is that when the mode checker tries to schedule a unification
of the form X = curried_pred(A1, ... An), but fails, perhaps because
curried_pred has more than one declared mode matching the current insts
of the Ai, we record this fact in the mode_info. Then, if later we find
that X is insufficiently instantiated, we print the message we originally
generated for the X = curried_pred(A1, ... An) unification (but which we
threw away when the scheduling attempt failed) as a possible explanation
of this insufficient instantiation.

The second is that when scheduling X = curried_pred(A1, ... An) but fails,
we record more information about the reason, to print it later in the hope that
it may help the user diagnose the problem.

compiler/mode_errors.m:
    Change the representation of the errors resulting for not being able
    to schedule rhs_lambda unifications of the form X = curried_pred(Ai).
    Merge the previous two separate errors into one, and add a parameter
    that that distinguishes the three (not two) possible different causes
    of the error. Print better diagnostics for all three, based on a common
    template.

    Change the representation of the errors that say a variable is not
    sufficiently instantiated, to make it possible (but of course not
    compulsory) to record what error of the X = curried_pred(Ai) kind
    may be responsible for it. Include the error message for this cause
    in the error message about the insufficiently instantiated variable.

compiler/mode_info.m:
    Add a field to the mode_info that allows a failed attempt to schedule
    X = curried_pred(Ai) to record the error it generates as a possible
    cause of the later insufficient instantiation of X.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
    Gather the extra information now needed by the representation of mode
    errors for failed attempts to schedule X = curried_pred(Ai).
    Record the errors for such attempts in the new mode_info field.

compiler/modecheck_util.m:
    When generating "variable is not sufficiently instantiated" errors,
    see if the new mode_info field say that the insufficiently instantiated
    variable was, in a previous conjunct, involved in a failed
    X = curried_pred(Ai) unification, and if yes, record this fact
    as a possible cause of the error.

compiler/modecheck_goal.m:
    Reset the new field at the start of every branched control structure,
    to prevent us from using information about X = curried_pred(Ai)
    unifications in one branch in other, parallel branches.

    Avoid allocating a context at every goal.

library/term.m:
    Add a utility predicate to enable that avoidance.

    Mention the new utility predicate.

2639091f7f Fix a performance problem in mode analysis.
When working on the diff to make_hlds_passes.m, the compiler took effectively
forever on an intermediate version; I killed it after about half an hour
of CPU time. Invoking a debug version of the compiler on that version
of make_hlds_passes.m and interrupting it several times while it was
twiddling its thumbs showed that it was spending its time in computing
a set of candidate vars for auto-initialization. Since the predicate
it was analyzing at the time, do_parse_tree_to_hlds, is quite big and has
lots of variables, the sets of candidate variables could be quite big,
and may have to be computed lots of times. However, all those computations
are wasted, since once the set of candidate vars is computed, mode analysis
checks if the variables in those sets have a solver type that has auto
initialization. In most predicates including this one, NO variable has
such a type, so this test will fail.

compiler/modecheck_conj.m:
    Test whether ANY variable in the procedure being analyzed has a solver
    type with auto initialization. If not, don't bother to compute the
    candidate vars.

compiler/mode_info.m:
    When initializing the mode_info before starting to analyze a procedure,
    record whether any its variables has a solver type with auto
    initialization.

There is no test case for this performance bug. First, I don't understand
the algorithm that computes the candidate vars set well enough to hand craft
a small test that nevertheless tickles this worst-case behavior. Second,
trying to minimize the actual problem code would probably yield something
that is still way bigger than one of our usual test cases. And third,
if the test case fails, it would do so by using huge amounts of CPU time
*without* running out of stack, which is a pretty bad failure mode,
and I have no idea how to impose a CPU time limit on a test case
that would also work on Windows. (The code in question is nondet, and
every backtrack to a choice point frees the det stack used up till then.)

However, a hand test on the actual problem code (which is a snapshot
of the offending version of the entire compiler directory) does show
that this diff fixes the problem.

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.)

    to hlds_module.m.

    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.

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.

89628ae791 More speedups of inst handling code.
On tools/speedtest -l -m, my tests show a speedup of about 2%, but
on Dirk's stress test module, for which the compiler (used to) spend
almost all its time handling insts, the speedup is about 40%.

This diff also contains some small incidental changes I stumbled upon
the "need" for while working on the main change.

compiler/prog_data.m:
    The existing inst_test_results type used to be able to hold the results
    of four tests about a bound inst. Add two more: the set of inst vars that
    may occur in the inst, and whether a type constructor has already been
    propagated into the cons_ids of the bound insts.

    Put the fields of the the unify_inst and merge_inst inst_names into
    a more sensible order.

    Define types that hold the information stored in specific kinds of
    inst_names, for use by hlds_data.m (see below).

compiler/inst_user.m:
    For each user defined bound inst that matches exactly one parameterless
    type, propagate its type constructor into it, and record the fact that
    it has been done. This avoids having to do it many times later.
    Also record the set of inst vars in each inst, again to avoid having
    to repeat the test many times later.

compiler/mercury_compile_front_end.m:
    Invoke the inst_user module as soon after inst_check.m as we can.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
    Make the structure of six subtables of the inst table private, to allow
    them to be experimented with (and possibly changed) without code changes
    being required in other modules.

    The unify_inst_table, the ground_inst_table and the any_inst_table
    used to be maps whose keys were inst_names, but they were each only ever
    used with one kind of inst_name. Change their keys to the new types
    unify_inst_info, ground_inst_info and any_inst_info, which each contain
    the information in the unify_inst, ground_inst and any_inst inst_names
    respectively. That way, the searches in the maps will perform comparisons
    that don't need to switch on what kind of inst_name they are dealing with,
    and instead go directly to comparing the arguments.

    With the unify_inst_table, also go a step further. The unify_inst_info
    has two fields that are equivalent to booleans. Comparing these
    at every level of the map is wasteful, so switch the representation
    of the unify_inst_table from one map to four maps, one map for each
    possible combination of those booleans. This way, the two booleans
    in the unify_inst_info key are tested just once, when the applicable map
    is selected.

    The merge_inst_table used to have a pair of insts as keys. Replace that
    with the merge_inst_info type, which also holds a pair of insts,
    but on which comparisons should be a bit faster, since it is not
    polymorphic, and thus does not need an implicit typeinfo passed along.

    Provide a combined search_insert operation on each of the inst_tables,
    since their pattern of use is exactly that: search the table, and if
    the key is not found, insert a marker that says the entry is being
    worked on. This avoid one traversal of a possibly-large tree, with
    its associated (possibly very expensive) comparisons.

    For each inst table, provide conversion predicates to and from
    sorted association lists, for use by equiv_type_hlds.m

compiler/equiv_type_hlds.m:
    Expand equivalence types in the new structure of the inst tables.

compiler/inst_util.m:
    Use the new search_insert predicates for the various inst_tables.

    If one of the two insts being unified is free, then avoid using
    the unify_inst_table, since just doing the abstract unification
    is faster, and does not pollute the unify_inst_table.

    If both insts being merged are bound insts, then avoid using the
    merge_inst_table, since (a) the lookup is slower than just doing
    the merge, and (b) it can pollute the merge_inst_table to the extent
    that *all other lookups* in it become very slow.

compiler/inst_match.m:
    Use test result information in bound insts to speed up the corresponding
    tests.

compiler/set_of_var.m:
    Change the representation of sets of vars back to sparse_bitsets.
    I changed them to tree_bitsets several years ago to avoid some bad
    worst-case behavior with sparse_bitsets (which occurred when repeatedly
    appending to the "ends" of sets), but other algorithmic changes have
    since avoiding using set_of_vars in ways that induce that behavior,
    and now my benchmarking tells me that the bottleneck operation is
    conversion of set_of_vars to lists of vars. This is faster with
    sparse_bitsets, since unlike tree_bitsets, they don't have to unravel
    a tree structure.

compiler/mode_util.m:
    Export a predicate now needed by inst_user.m, and clean up the code a bit,
    factoring out repeated code.

compiler/modecheck_util.m:
    Modify an equality comparison of two insts to compare the instantiation
    states themselves, but NOT the test results about those instantiation
    states, since these can differ if the two insts have different histories.

The following changes are mostly incidental.

compiler/hlds_args.m:
    Speed up a predicate by avoiding the materialization of a list
    that is needed only for a test.

compiler/instmap.m:
    Clarify some code.

compiler/liveness.m:
    Avoid computing some value when it is not needed.

compiler/mode_errors.m:
    Avoid referring to "arguments" (plural) for errors involving *one*
    argument.

compiler/mode_info.m:
    Move the documentation of some predicates to their declarations.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
    Compute some data closer to where it is needed, to reduce the number
    of stack slots needed.

tests/invalid/constrained_poly_insts2.err_exp:
    Expect the updated error message from mode_errors.m (with "argument"
    in singular), as well as module qualified insts, since having inst_user.m
    push type_ctors into the definitions of named inst module qualifies
    the bound_insts inside those definitions.

f0fb4daaec Speed up updating mode_infos.
compiler/mode_info.m:
    If the new value of a field of mode_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 mode_info structure
    that is guaranteed to be the same as the old one.

    By avoiding unnecessary memory turnover, this speeds up the compiler
    by about 4%, as measured by tools/speedtest -l.

338b5cb98e Fix some bugs with constrained polymorphic modes.
1. An inst variable from the head of the clause could be bound in the body.
The mode error in the call `P(X)' was not detected because the inst
variable I could be bound to ground.

	:- pred p(pred(T), T).
	:- mode p(pred(in(I =< ground)) is det, in) is det.

	p(P, X) :- P(X).

2. In David Overton's thesis, a get_subst function produces an inst
substitution from the callee's initial insts to the arguments' initial
insts, and the substitution is applied to all insts from the callee.
In the implementation we actually build the substitution while matching
the arguments' insts with the callee's insts, but we lost some precision
by not applying the incremental substitutions built as we match a list
of insts.

3. We rename apart the callee's inst variables from our own, but did not
keep the merged inst varset.  When a renamed inst variable appears in a
mode error it would be printed without its original name.
(could this avert more serious problems?)

4. inst_merge_3 was missing a case.

Some of these bugs may not be apparent due to the hack in
inst_matches_final_3 which allows a ground inst to match any bound inst.
A similar hack exists in inst_matches_binding_3.

compiler/inst_util.m:
	Handle in inst_merge_3 the case
	    InstA \= constrained_inst_var(_, _),
	    InstB = constrained_inst_var(_, _).

	Move InstA = not_reached case to inst_merge_2 to maintain
	inst_merge(not_reached, InstB @ constrained_inst_var(_, _)) = InstB

compiler/inst_match.m:
	Improve precision of inst var substitution computed in
	handle_inst_var_subs_2, following dmo's thesis.

compiler/mode_util.m:
compiler/modecheck_call.m:
	Keep the merged inst varsets after renaming.

compiler/mode_info.m:
	Add "head inst vars" in mode_info structure.

compiler/modecheck_util.m:
	Add get_constrained_inst_vars to extract constrained inst vars from a
	list of mode.

	Make modecheck_var_has_inst_list_* fail if the computed substitution
	would change the constraints of any head inst variables.

compiler/modes.m:
	Initialise mode_info with head inst variables.

compiler/pd_info.m:
compiler/pd_util.m:
	Conform to change in mode_info_init (not specifically tested).

compiler/prog_mode.m:
	Export inst_apply_substitution.

	Make rename_apart_inst_vars return the merged inst varset.

	Fix comments.

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.

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.

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).

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Implement the above change.

69644fa7c7 Fix three bugs with from_ground_term scopes, including Mantis bugs 93 and 94.
Estimated hours taken: 14
Branches: main

Fix three bugs with from_ground_term scopes, including Mantis bugs 93 and 94.

compiler/superhomogenenous.m:
	Fix Mantis bug 94. The problem was an overzealous sanity check.

compiler/modes.m:
	Fix Mantis bug 93. When analysing a from_ground_term_construct scope,
	we set the inst of the var being built to ground, since the shared
	nature of static terms requires this. However, some code may require
	the term to be unique. We therefore prepare to do mode analysis twice.
	On the first pass, we consider terms from from_ground_term to be
	ground, as before, but we record the fact that we did so. If
	mode analysis of the procedure yields one or more errors, they could
	have been due to this decision. So we analyze the procedure a second
	time, but this time, after each from_ground_term_construct scope,
	we add a call to builtin.copy, which yields a unique term.

	Note that this may be overkill. Even if e.g. the procedure has three
	from_ground_term_construct scopes, only one of which need to be unique
	for mode analysis to succeed, we will call copy after all three.

compiler/mode_info.m:
	Provide the infrastructure for the fix in modes.m.

compiler/quantification.m:
	Fix the third bug, which is not in Mantis. The bug was that after my
	recent optimization of quantification, we never listed the local
	variables of from_ground_term_construct scopes in the outputs of the
	goal_vars_* family of predicates. However, there is one case where they
	are needed, and this is when we want to duplicate the goal, and need to
	rename *all* the variables in the copy.

	The fix is to add new versions of goal_vars_* and their auxiliary
	predicates that collect this information, and use them when expanding
	out bi_implications.

	This now also expects that bi_implications won't occur in the hLDS
	by the time that lambda expansion has been done. Since lambda expansion
	is done in the middle pass, and bi_implications are expanded out by the
	very first invocation of quantification, even *before* semantic
	analysis starts, this is a safe bet.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Document where bi_implications are expanded out.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Minor style improment.

compiler/options.m:
	Set the default from_ground_term threshold to what it was before
	we discovered these problems.

tests/hard_coded/uo_regression1.{m,exp}:
tests/hard_coded/from_ground_term_bug.{m,exp}:
	Slightly modified versions of the Mantis test cases for bugs 93 and 94.

	This test case was the one that shows the third bug. Expand it
	to put a from_ground_term_construct scope in the LHS as well as RHS
	of a bi-implication.

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.

f5667464c7 Remove support for automatic initialisation of solver types from the language.
Estimated hours taken: 10
Branches: main

Remove support for automatic initialisation of solver types from the language.
This is being done because:

* the current implementation of automatic initialisation means we cannot
  support polymorphic solver types, e.g. you cannot have the type foo(bar)
  where:
  		:- solver type foo(T).
		:- solver type bar.

* the current initialisation strategy is fairly ad-hoc anyway; in particular
  it has a tendency to unnecessarily change the determinism of procedures.

* mode error messages are often quite poor because of the interaction between
  automatic initialisation and impure code.

* automatic initialisation is not used in practice.  All of the
  G12 solver libraries that use solver types recommend explicitly
  initialising solver variables.

This change removes support for automatic solver initialisation from the
language.  The code for supporting it remains in the implementation, but
it is now dependent upon the developer-only `--solver-type-auto-init'
option.

As a transitional measure the compiler will still accept
`initialisation is ...' attributes in solver type definitions even when
`--no-solver-type-auto-init' is enabled.  After this change has bootstrapped,
and the relevant updates have been made to the G12 solver libraries, this
will be changed so that `initialisation is ...' attributes are considered
a syntax error unless `--solver-type-auto-init' is enabled.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Document that solver type definitions no longer allow initialisation
	predicates to be supplied.  (The section documenting initialisation
	predicates has been commented out rather than deleted since the
	implementation of automatic initialisation still exists.)

	Remove the section documenting the restrictions on polymorphic
	solver types.  These restrictions no longer apply in the absence
	of automatic initialisation.

compiler/options.m:
	Add a new developer-only option, `--solver-type-auto-init', that
	controls whether automatic initialisation of solver variables is
	allowed (for those solver types that have initialisation predicates
	specified.)

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add a type that represents whether a solver type allows automatic
	initialisation or not.

	Extend the solver_type_details structure to allow initialisation
	predicates to be optional.

compiler/prog_io.m:
	Allow initialisation predicates to be optional in solver type
	definitions.

compiler/modes.m:
compiler/modecheck_call.m:
compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
	Only insert calls to solver type initialisation predicates if
	the solver type has an initialisation predicate and the
	developer-only option `--solver-type-auto-init' is enabled.

Estimated hours taken: 3
Branches: main

Improve the performance of the compiler by making sure that the mode_info
structure contains only its most frequently updated and/or accessed fields
and that these fit into an eight-word memory cell, moving the rest of the
fields to the mode_sub_info structure. This improves performance on our
standard benchmark from 20.60 seconds to 19.06 seconds, an improvement of 7%.

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

	Several fields of mode_sub_info were bools. Replace these with
	single-purpose types, to make them harder to mix up, especially
	during initialization.

	Similarly, replace the type of the field used for checking parallel
	conjunctions with a specialized type instead of a pair.

	Rename some predicates for greater consistency with the rest of the
	compiler.

	Rename field names to avoid ambiguities.

	Use the access predicates instead of field access syntax to access the
	fields of mode_info and mode_sub_info, to make any similar changes
	easier in the future, and also to make statistics about frequency
	of field accesses easier to gather.

compiler/modecheck_call.m:
compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
compiler/modes.m:
	Conform to the changes in mode_info.

compiler/modes.m:
compiler/unique_modes.m:
	Do not execute the (save, set to known value, restore) sequence
	for the "duplicated for switch" feature unless necessary. This
	avoids a bunch of accesses and updates to the mode_sub_info.

	In both cases, this required moving some code that would otherwise
	have had to be duplicated into an inlined predicate.

	In unique_modes.m, rename a predicate to allow its name to be used
	for the new inlined predicate.

compiler/Mercury.options:
	Change the inlining limit to allow those predicates to be inlined.

Estimated hours taken: 5
Branches: main

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Write out the new pred_info and proc_info fields.

compiler/*.m:
	Conform to the changes in hlds_pred.m.

compiler/hlds_clauses.m:
	Avoid ambiguity by giving a prefix to the fields of the clauses_info
	type.

tests/invalid/ho_type_mode_bug.err_exp:
tests/invalid/merge_ground_any.err_exp:
	Don't expect error messages about "X = X" anymore.

Estimated hour taken: 1.5
Branches: main

Add some higher-order operations that work on proc_arg_vectors.  These
are required by upcoming changes.

Remove ambiguities on the function symbol `dead' by renaming type
constructors (and in one case by deleting an unused type.)

Julien.

compiler/hlds_args.m:
	Add some higher-order operations for proc_arg_vectors.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Delete the type `liveness' since it is unused and its function
	symbols clash with the function symbols of other types.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add prefixes to the function symbols of the type is_live in
	order to make them unambiguous.

compiler/var_locn.m:
	Do the same for the function symbols for the dead_or_alive type.
