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/modecheck_call.m:
    Replace a strange way of getting a proc_info.

    Improve some variable names.

compiler/modecheck_goal.m:
    Improve some variable names.

compiler/mode_errors.m:
compiler/modecheck_util.m:
    Conform to the changes above.

compiler/rbmm.region_transformation.m:
    Delete an already-handled ZZZ.

compiler/unique_modes.m:
    Convert these modules to use var_tables.

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:
    Conform to the changes above.

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.

tests/invalid/mode_inf.err_exp:
    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.

e8503e890c Fix formatting of "no matching mode" error msgs.
compiler/error_msg_inst.m:
    When printing constrained insts, add the ")" at the end separately,
    not as part of a suffix. When it was printed as part of a suffix,
    it could be printed before a nl_indent_delta(-1) that balanced
    an earlier nl_indent_delta(1).

compiler/mode_errors.m:
    Don't get error_msg_inst.m, through the report_inst function, add
    an nl_indent_delta(-1) as part of the formatting of an inst,
    when it is in fact needed only *after* the inst.

    Change the representation of "no matching mode" errors to implicitly
    encode the invariant that every argument variable has its own inst.

29ff7d5732 Improve diagnostics for type- and mode-errors.
compiler/mode_errors.m:
    When generating an error message for a bad higher order inst,
    print the specific cause of the mismatch, instead of just
    "actual inst is X, expected inst was Y".

compiler/modecheck_call.m:
    Change the code that generates that error to record the specific cause
    in the mode_error structure of the error.

tests/invalid/higher_order_mode_mismatch.{m,err_exp}:
    Add a new test case for the specific causes that other test cases
    don't already cover. (As it happens, most of those causes can't be
    caught by mode analysis because typechecking reports them first,
    but it did so in ways that could be improved. Hence the change to
    typecheck_errors.m and most of the .err_exp files below.)

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

compiler/typecheck_errors.m:
    Instead of generating output of the form

        <something> has type `abc',
        expected type was `def'

    generate output of the form

        <something> has type
            abc,
        expected type was
            def

    The indentation directs the eye to the differences that matter,
    and automatically lines up any corresponding parts of the actual
    and expected types. It also replaces the quotes as a method
    of separating the types being referred to from their surroundings.

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

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

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

    Conform to the change in pred_table.m.

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

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

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

d76c7bf617 Break up inst_util.m and mode_util.m.
This step significantly improves module cohesion.

compiler/inst_abstract_unify.m:
    New module carved out of inst_util.m, which does abstract unifications
    on insts.

compiler/inst_merge.m:
    New module carved out of inst_util.m, which merges insts.

compiler/inst_lookup.m:
    New module carved partly out of inst_util.m and partly out of mode_util.m,
    which looks up insts in the module_info, and then possibly expands out
    the result.

compiler/mode_test.m:
    New module carved out of mode_util.m, whose predicates
    perform tests on modes.

compiler/mode_top_functor.m:
    New module carved out of mode_util.m, which computes top_functor_modes
    from modes.

compiler/inst_mode_type_prop.m:
    New module carved out of mode_util.m, which propagates type information
    into both insts and modes.

compiler/recompute_instmap_deltas.m:
    New module carved out of mode_util.m, which recomputes goals'
    instmap_deltas.

compiler/inst_test.m:
    Move here the predicates in inst_util.m that perform tests on insts.

compiler/inst_util.m:
compiler/mode_util.m:
    Delete the code that this diff moves to other modules.

compiler/check_hlds.m:
    Add the new modules to the check_hlds package, the package that also
    contains inst_util.m and mode_util.m. (Some of these modules could
    be argued to fit better in the hlds package, but moving them there
    would not be desirable while they depend on code that is still in the
    check_hlds package.)

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

b831562958 Improve error messages for some mode errors.
compiler/mode_errors.m:
    There are two improvements.

    The first and much the more important is that when a call does not match
    any of the declared modes of the called predicate or function, we now
    print the names and insts of any arguments whose insts, by themselves,
    do not match any of the callee's modes. Instead of reporting "here are
    all the arguments, here are all their insts, find out for yourself
    which one is wrong", the compiler now tells the programmer explicitly
    which one is wrong in almost all cases. (Not all. If e.g. two args <A, B>
    have insts <free, free>, but the callee has two modes, <in, out> and
    <out, in>, then the compiler won't report either arg, since neither arg
    is wrong by itself.)

    The second improvement is that when the verbosity settings ask us
    to print all possible reasons why we can't schedule a conjunction,
    instead of our default approach of printing the only the first,
    we now put a blank line between the different reasons, for visual
    separation.

compiler/proc_requests.m:
    The old unify_proc.m contained two kinds of predicates: those that
    generated the source code for unify, index and compare predicates,
    and those that managed the queue of procedure requests. The only link
    between the two is that the latter calls one of the former.

    of both new modules.

fca7b99c96 Carve mode_comparison.m out of modecheck_call.m.
modecheck_call.m had three different predicates for comparing the
different modes of a predicate in different ways. Mode checking calls,
the job of modecheck_call.m, needs only one of these three predicates.
The other two were there only because, due to the commonalities between
the three comparison predicates, it is easier to maintain them
if they are all in the same place.

Moving the comparison predicates to their own module improves
the cohesion of the both the old module and the new.

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.

    Add a utility predicate to enable that avoidance.

7f5a08eb37 Split parts of inst_match.m into a new module, inst_test.m
Most modules that imported inst_match did so in order to use
predicates such as inst_is_ground to test properties of insts.

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).

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.

    Conform to the changes above.

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.

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

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.

ee63cb8d84 Heavily polymorphic code, such as that generated by g12, often builds the same
Estimated hours taken: 80
Branches: main

Heavily polymorphic code, such as that generated by g12, often builds the same
typeinfos and typeclass infos over and over again. We have long had caches
that avoid building a new typeinfo or typeclass info if some variable in the
current scope already contains the right value, but a program that has many
scopes may still build the same typeinfo or typeclass info many times.
If that typeinfo or typeclass info is a ground term, the code generators
will recognize that fact, and will turn all the constructions of that ground
term in different scopes into referencess to the same constant structure.
However, in the meantime, the program can be much bigger than necessary.
In the motivating test case for this change, a single call to fdic_post
is preceded by 133 goals that build the four typeclass infos it needs.

The main idea of this diff is to construct constant typeinfos and typeclass
infos out of line, in a separate data structure. Polymorphism then binds
variables representing typeinfo and typeclass infos to reference to these
constant structures. In the motivating example, this allows polymorphism.m
to insert just four goals before the call to fdic_post, the minimal possible
number: one for each typeclass info that predicate needs.

On Leslie's bug344 program, this change speeds up the compiler by a factor
of five to eight (reducing compile time from about 80 or 85 seconds to
10 or 15).

There is a drawback to this scheme, but it is minor. That drawback is that
once a constant structure is entered into our database of constant structures,
it cannot (yet) be removed. Even if all the references to a constant structure
are eliminated by optimizations, the structure will remain.

------------------------------------------

CHANGES IN THE FRONT END

compiler/const_struct.m:
	A new module to look after our new database of constant structures.
	Currently, its use is enable only on the LLDS and MLDS C backends.

compiler/hlds.m:
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Add the new module to the HLDS package.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Include the constant structure database in the module_info.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add two new cons_ids, which refer to typeinfos and typeclass infos
	implemented as constant structures.

	Move the code for calculating the number of extra instance args
	in base_typeclass_infos here from base_typeclass_info.m, since
	polymorphism.m now needs it too. We can now also eliminate the
	duplicate copy of that code in higher_order.m.

	Make an independent optimization: make the restrict_list_elements
	function more efficient by avoiding redundant tests.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	When building typeinfo and typeclass infos, keep track of whether
	the structure being built is constant. If it is, then put it in the
	database of constant structures, and replace the code building it
	with a simple reference to that new entry.

	Since I now expect most goal sequences inserted before goals to be
	short, consistent use lists of goals to represent these, since the
	costs of conversions to and from cord form are unlikely to be paid back
	by the higher efficiency of cord operations on longer sequences.

	When we want to get the typeclass info of a superclass out of the
	typeclass info of a subclass, if the typeclass info of the subclass
	is known, do the extraction here. We used to do this optimization
	only in higher_order.m, but doing so here reduces the size of the HLDS
	between polymorphism.m and higher_order.m, and thus improves
	compilation time.

	Reorganize some of the structure of this module to make the above
	changes possible. In particular, our new approach requires making
	snapshots of the varsets and vartypes, and later restoring those
	snapshots if the variables allocated turn out to be unnecessary,
	due to all of them describing the components of a constant structure.
	The correctness of such code is much easier to check if the taking
	and restoring of each snapshot takes places in a single predicate.

	Remove the code moved to higher_order.m.

	Add some debugging code for now. If no issues arise in the next few
	weeks, it can be deleted.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
	Treat unifications whose right hand side has a cons_id referring to a
	constant structure specially.

compiler/base_typeclass_info.m:
	Replace the code that is now in num_extra_instance_args with a call

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	Delete some unused fields from `lambda_info'.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

compiler/prog_type.m:
	Add helper predicate.

compiler/*.m:
	Conform to changes.

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

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

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

	Add macros to unpack the encoded field.

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

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

runtime/mercury_deep_copy.c:
runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h:
runtime/mercury_layout_util.c:
runtime/mercury_ml_expand_body.h:

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Add helper function.

	register arguments.

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

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

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

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

compiler/set_of_var.m:
	Add some more predicates and functions that previous existed on sets
	but not yet on set_of_vars.

compiler/*.m:
	Conform to the change in hlds_goal.m, and make similar changes
	in set representations.

	We already had them for creating a bag from a set, but a set_of_progvar
	shouldn't have to be converted to a set.

	Fix deviations from our programming style.

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).

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.

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:

tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
tests/invalid/ho_any_inst.err_exp:

	New test case for some illegal code.

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:

	Only insert calls to solver type initialisation predicates if
	the solver type has an initialisation predicate and the

	Handle the situation where a solver type does not have an
	initialise predicate.

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

	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

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.

	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.

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

compiler/*.m:
browser/*.m:
slice/*.m:
	Conform to the change to mdbcomp.

library/sparse_bitset.m:
	Use some better variable names.

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.

Estimated hours taken: 8
Branches: main

Get rid of a bunch more ambiguities by renaming predicates, mostly
in polymorphism.m, {abstract,build,ordering}_mode_constraints.m, prog_type.m,
and opt_debug.m in the compiler directory and term_io.m, term.m, parser.m,
and string.m in the library.

In some cases, when the library and the compiler defined the same predicate
with the same code, delete the compiler's copy and give it access to the
library's definition by exporting the relevant predicate (in the undocumented
part of the library module's interface).

NEWS:
	Mention that the names of some library functions have changed.

library/*.m:
compiler/*.m:
mdbcomp/*.m:
browser/*.m:
	Make the changes mentioned above, and conform to them.
