Rename mmc and mgnuc options that set this grade component to --c-debug-grade.
Let the options named --c-debug of both mmc and mgnuc enable C level debugging
of only the module being compiled.
runtime/mercury_grade.h:
Rename the .ll_debug grade component to .c_debug. Also rename the C macro
that controls the presence or absence of this grade component
from MR_LL_DEBUG to MR_C_DEBUG_GRADE.
runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
runtime/mercury_debug.c:
runtime/mercury_debug.h:
runtime/mercury_engine.c:
runtime/mercury_label.c:
runtime/mercury_memory_zones.c:
runtime/mercury_memory_zones.h:
runtime/mercury_overflow.c:
runtime/mercury_std.h:
runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
Rename the MR_LOWLEVEL_DEBUG macro to MR_DEBUG_THE_RUNTIME.
Previously, the name of this macro wrongly implied that it had
something to do with the old .ll_debug grade component, even though
- the MR_LOWLEVEL_DEBUG macro was designed to debug LLDS grades,
since only these existed when it was created, while
- the .ll_debug grade component (now .c_debug) is useful only for
MLDS grades targeting C.
compiler/options.m:
Rename the old confusingly named low_level_debug option to c_debug_grade.
Move it to the list of grade options, and fix its documentation, which
was completely wrong:
- code in compile_target_code.m treated it as being a synonym of
the .ll_debug (now .c_debug) grade component, while
- its (commented out) documentation here in options.m said it called for
the enabling of what is now MR_DEBUG_THE_RUNTIME.
compiler/compile_target_code.m:
Conform to the rename just above.
Define MR_C_DEBUG_GRADE instead of MR_LL_DEBUG if c_debug_grade is enabled.
Pass -g to the C compiler if either c_debug_grade or target_debug
is enabled.
Add an XXX about a missing safety check for an obsolete experimental
feature.
compiler/compute_grade.m:
When given a grade with a .c_debug grade component, set only the
c_debug_grade option; don't set the target_debug option, which is NOT
a grade option. The change to compile_target_code.m above handles the
only situation in which this implication was formerly required.
scripts/canonical_grade.sh-subr:
scripts/init_grade_options.sh-subr:
scripts/parse_grade_options.sh-subr:
Look for and process the .c_debug grade component instead of .ll_debug.
Use a sh variable named c_debug_grade to record its absence/presence.
Look for and process the --c-debug-grade grade-component option,
setting the same sh variable, c_debug_grade. (All grade components
can be set piecemeal using sh options to the scripts using these
subroutines.) This replaces the old, confusingly named option
--low-level-debug.
scripts/mgnuc.in:
scripts/mgnuc_file_opts.sh-subr:
Consistently use the sh variable c_debug to record the presence of
the (non-grade) --c-debug option to mgnuc, and the sh variable
c_debug_grade to record the presence of the .c_debug grade component.
Stop looking for and handling the --low-level-debug option, which
mgnuc used to document, even though this duplicated the same documentation
in init_grade_options.sh-subr, which mgnuc includes. The difference was
that init_grade_options.sh-subr meant it to represent the old .ll_debug
MLDS grade component, while mgnuc treated it as specifying what is now
MR_DEBUG_THE_RUNTIME for LLDS grades. It didn't help that two sh variables
with quite different semantics had names that differed only in an
underscore: LLDEBUG_OPTS vs LL_DEBUG_OPTS.
scripts/Mmakefile:
Add a missing dependency to force the rebuild of mgnuc after each update
of its sh subroutine mgnuc_file_ops.sh-subr.
doc/user_guide.texi:
Document the --c-debug-grade option of mmc. This option was not publicly
documented under its original misleading name (--low-level-debug), but
its documentation is now possible without contorted dancing around the
name.
Clarify the documentation of mgnuc's --c-debug option.

scripts/ml.in:

tools/test_mercury:
Conform to the change in compile_target_code.m to the naming of
Boehm gc library variants.
As we discussed, it has fallen into disuse. Its main purpose was to
pave the way for the .net backend and later for the java and csharp grades.
Now that the .net backend is ancient history and the java and csharp grades
are established, that purpose is gone, and for every other purpose,
hlc is better because it is simpler and faster.

Delete the --high-level-data option. It is no longer needed,
bacause the data representation scheme is now a direct function
of the target language.

Fix inconsistent indentation.
Add missing ;;s in case statements.
Switch to using ${var} references instead of just $var.
tests/invalid/Mercury.options:
Make the test_feature_set test case run in grade java instead of hl.gc.
tests/invalid/test_feature_set.err_exp:
Update the expected out for the grade change.
Until now, we have supported two variants of trailing grades, those that use a
fixed-size trail (.tr) and those that use trail segments (.trseg). This change
removes support for fixed sized trails, and renames the .trseg grade component
to .tr. The .trseg grade now acts a synonym for .tr; it is deprecated, since we
intend to eventually delete it. Until then, the behavior of the old .tr grade
component should be available, though to developers only, by compiling the
whole system with EXTRA_CFLAGS = -DMR_USE_FIXED_SIZE_TRAIL.
runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
Delete the MR_TRAIL_SEGMENTS macro. Its effect is now implied by
MR_USE_TRAIL, unless a new macro, MR_USE_FIXED_SIZE_TRAIL, is defined.
Developers can use this new macro to disable trail segments, should the
need for doing that arise.
runtime/mercury_grade.h:
Add a new macro that defines a binary compatibility version number for
trailing; use that in the grade part for trailing.
Use "_trfix" or "_trseg" as the prefix of the trailing part of the
MR_GRADE_VAR depending on if MR_USE_FIXED_SIZE_TRAIL is defined or
not.
runtime/mercury_trail.[ch]:
runtime/mercury_context.h:
Enable trail segments by default, only disabling them if
MR_USE_FIXED_SIZE_TRAIL is enabled.
runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
trace/mercury_trace_cmd_developer.c:
Conform to the above changes.
compiler/compile_target_code.m:
Do not pass options for trail segments to the C compiler.
compiler/compute_grade.m:
Treat trseg as a synonym for tr.

Deprecate --trail-segments.

Comment out the documentation of the --trail-size and --trail-size-kwords
runtime options; they are no longer useful to non-developers.

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.
Record that a grade can specify accurate gc for llds grades, but
since accurate gc does not currently work for either llds or mlds grades,
put it behind the working kinds of gc. Record that "no gc" is not allowed
in minimal model grades.
grade_lib/try_all_grade_structs.m:
A new program which checks whether all possible ways of filling out
a grade structure are valid. It does this by generating all possible
values of the grade_structure type, and checking, for each value,
whether
- converting it to a grade string,
- converting the grade string to a grade specification,
- solving that specification, and
- converting the solution (if any) back to a grade structure
yields the exact same grade structure that we started with.
Besides testing whether the grade structure type is "tight" in the
sense of being unable to express invalid grades, this round-trip test
also stress-tests all the parts of the grade library except those
that explain the inconsistencies in invalid grade specifications.
Most of the changes to the other files are fixes to problems revealed
by this testing.
grade_lib/Mmakefile:
Add the new program as an executable to build.
grade_lib/grade_structure.m:
Tighten up the grade structure type by encoding in types the
incompatibility of minimal model tabling with trailing, thread safety
performance profiling, and the history gc.
grade_lib/grade_spec.m:
Loosen a restriction: minimal model tabling is compatible with no gc
at all.
Loosen a restriction: history gc works on the LLDS backend (in the
absence of minimal model tabling, at least).
The original specs reflected the proposed new defaults for gc and stack
segments (boehm gc and yes, respectively), but the round-trip test
requires the defaults of the current spec (no gc and no stack segments).
Make the specification version to be used in constraint solving selectable.
