Discussion of these changes can be found on the Mercury developers
mailing list archives from June 2018.
COPYING.LIB:
Add a special linking exception to the LGPL.
*:
Update references to COPYING.LIB.
Clean up some minor errors that have accumulated in copyright
messages.
Branches: main
Don't include QuickCheck in the extras distribution - it uses type class
instances that are not accepted by the current compiler. (Specifically,
it has instances with arguments whose types are higher-order types.)
Update the release notes.
Mmakefile:
Don't include extras/quickcheck in the extras distribution
tarball.
RELEASE_NOTES:
Mention the C# backend here.
Lazy evaluation is (mostly) in the standard library now.
Remove the references to QuickCheck.
extras/README:
Remove the entry for QuickCheck.
extras/quickcheck/qcheck.m:
Add a comment to the top of this module mentioning that it
is not currently maintained.
Branches: main
Remove uses of the old C interface from the extras distribution.
extras/lazy_evaluation/lazy_list.m:
extras/quickcheck/qcheck.m:
extras/references/samples/max_of.m:
Use the new foreign language interface instead of the old C
interface.
extras/curses/basics.m:
As above, and conform to our current coding standards.

Branches: main
Add support for deconstructing by functor number rather than name,
for use by write_binary.
library/deconstruct.m:
runtime/mercury_deconstruct.h:
runtime/mercury_deconstruct.c:
runtime/mercury_ml_expand_body.h:
runtime/mercury_ml_deconstruct_body.h:
Add predicates deconstruct.functor_number and
deconstruct.deconstruct.du, which returns a functor number
suitable for use by construct.construct rather than a functor
name.
library/construct.m:
library/term.m:
browser/term_rep.m:
extras/quickcheck/qcheck.m:
tests/valid/agc_unbound_typevars.m:
tests/valid/agc_unbound_typevars2.m:
Add a function get_functor_lex, which returns the lexicographic
functor number given an ordinal functor number.
Add equivalence types to make it clearer which ordering is
being used by which functor numbers.
Remove a C-ism: num_functors now fails rather than returning -1
for types without functors.
NEWS:
Document the new predicates and functions.
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
runtime/mercury_builtin_types.c:
runtime/mercury_mcpp.h:
compiler/rtti.m:
compiler/rtti_out.m:
compiler/type_ctor_info.m:
compiler/rtti_to_mlds.m:
compiler/opt_debug.m:
Add a field to MR_TypeCtorInfo which contains a mapping from
an ordinal functor number to a lexicographic functor number
which can be passed to construct.construct.
Bump MR_RTTI_VERSION.

Branches: main
Fix compilation problems in the extras distribution caused by recent
changes.
extras/stream/stream.m:
Provide a definition for the type stream/1.
extras/*/*.m:
Conform to the recent changes to the standard library.

Branches: main, release
Fix a problem where different packages in the `extras' distribution
were being installed in different directories when you specified
INSTALL_PREFIX in the Mmake.params file. Some honoured the INSTALL_PREFIX
setting, some appended "/extras", and some ignored it completely.
Also, add `clean' and `realclean' targets for the extras directory hierarchy,
and fix a few other minor bugs.
extras/lazy_evaluation/Mmakefile:
Include Mmake.params, which previously wasn't included at all
in this file.
extras/logged_output/Mmakefile:
extras/odbc/Mmakefile:
extras/quickcheck/Mmakefile:
Append "/extras" to INSTALL_PREFIX, which previously wasn't done
at all in these directories.
extras/cgi/Mmakefile:
extras/complex_numbers/Mmakefile:
extras/concurrency/Mmakefile:
extras/curs/Mmakefile:
extras/curses/Mmakefile:
extras/dynamic_linking/Mmakefile:
extras/moose/Mmakefile:
extras/posix/Mmakefile:
Move the line `INSTALL_PREFIX := $(INSTALL_PREFIX/extras)'
to before the include of Mmake.params, so as not to override
the user's setting (only override the default setting).
extras/Mmakefile:
extras/concurrency/Mmakefile:
Add `clean' and `realclean' targets.
extras/posix/Mmakefile:
Add MGNUCFLAGS = --no-ansi, since this is needed on some systems.
extras/quickcheck/Mmakefile:
Add "depend", "all", and "install" targets.
Ensure that the "check" target runs the test program.
extras/quickcheck/qcheck.m:
Set the exit status to non-zero if a test fails.
extras/references/Mmakefile:
Adjust the setting of LIBGRADES to account for the fact that
$(GRADE) is no longer implicitly included in $(LIBGRADES).

Branches: main
extras/quickcheck/qcheck.m:
Fix qcheck to work with the current time structure that
time__localtime returns.
extras/quickcheck/Mmakefile:
extras/quickcheck/test_qcheck.m:
extras/quickcheck/nrev.m:
Add a makefile and a simple testcase for qcheck.
Estimated hours taken : 250
qcheck is an autotesting tool similar to Haskell's Quickcheck.
A collection of web pages are written as a user guide for quickcheck.
It covers the syntax and features supported by the current version of
quickcheck.
RELEASE_NOTES:
compiler/notes/authors.html:
extras/README:
Modified to mention quickcheck.
extras/quickcheck/qcheck.m:
New file that contains the source code for qcheck.
extras/quickcheck/rnd.m:
New file written by conway. Its functions are similar
to those in library random.m. The random numbers generated
with random.m functions show strong correlation in lower
bits; rnd.m does not seem have such problems.
