compiler/simplify_goal_call.m:
If the --warn-suspicious-recursion option is set, and if the warning
isn't disabled, generate warnings for two different kinds of suspicious
recursion. They are both related to, but separate from, the warning
we have long generated for infinite recursion, which occurs when
the input args of a recursive call are the same as the corresponding
args in the clause head.
Both kinds suspicious recursion look at the input args of a recursive call
that are NOT the same as the corresponding args in the clause head.
Both require these args to have non-unique modes. (If they have unique
modes, then the depth of the recursion may be controlled by state outside
the view of the Mercury compiler, which means that a warning would be
likely to be misleading.)
The first kind is when all these args use state variable notation.
Most of the time, we use state var notation to denote the data structures
updated by the recursive code; having variables using such notation
*controlling* the recursion is much less common, and much more likely
to be unintended. The motivation for the new option was this infinitely
looping code, which resulted from neglecting to s/[X | Xs]/Xs/ after
cutting-and-pasting the clause head to the recursive call.
p([X | Xs], !S) :-
...,
p([X | Xs], !S).
The other kind of suspicious recursive call we warn about involve
input arguments where the base names of the input arguments (the part
before any numeric suffixes) seem be switched between the clause head
and the recursive call, as here:
q(As0, Bs0, ...) :-
...,
q(Bs1, As, ...).
compiler/mercury_compile_main.m:
Disable style warnings when invoked with --make-optimization-interface
or its transitive variant. Without this, warnings about suspicious
recursion would get reported in such invocations.
Move a test from a callee to a caller to allow the callee to be
less indented.
compiler/options.m:
Export functionality to mercury_compile_main.m to make the above possible.
library/string.m:
Add a predicate to convert a string to *reverse* char list directly.
Note a discrepancy between the documentation and the implementation
of the old predicate the new one is based on (which converts a string
to a forward char list).
NEWS:
Note the new predicate in string.m.

Fix inconsistencies between (a) the order in which functions and predicates
are declared, and (b) the order in which they are defined.
In most of these modules, either the order of the declarations
or the order of the definitions made sense, and I changed the other
to match. In a few modules, neither made sense, so I changed *both*
to an order that *does* make sense (i.e. it has related predicates
together).
In some places, put dividers between groups of related
functions/predicates, to make the groups themselves more visible.
In some places, fix comments or programming style, give some auxiliary
(non-exported) predicates better names, or delete some unneeded module
qualifications.
In some places, have the function form of a procedure forward
the work to the predicate form, instead of vice versa, where this is
more natural (usually because it allows the use of state variables).
However, this is the only kind of "algorithmic" change in this diff;
the rest is just moving code around.
library/time.m:
Deprecate non-pure functions `localtime/1' and `mktime/1'.
They depend on the current time zone, which depends on the
environment that the program is running in, and may also be
changed at run time (e.g. by setting the environment variable
"TZ").
Add replacement predicates `localtime/4' and `mktime/4' that
thread the I/O state.
Deprecate the non-pure function `ctime/1'. It does not seem
necessary to add a pure replacement for it, being a minor
convenience at best.
Try to clarify some documentation.

NEWS:
Announce changes.
Specifically, we now do three new checks:
BAD_DETISM: We now generate error messages for predicate declarations
that specify a determinism without also specifying argument modes.
BAD_PREDMODE: We now generate error messages for standalone mode declarations
for predicates whose predicate declaration includes modes for the arguments.
BAD_MODE_SECTION: We now generate error messages for standalone mode
declarations that are not in the same section as the predicate's (or
function's) type declaration.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
Add a slot to the pred_sub_info. If the predicate is explicitly defined by
the user in the current module, this contains the id of the section that
contains its predicate declaration (for the BAD_MODE_SECTION check)
and whether that predicate declaration also had modes for the arguments
(for the BAD_PREDMODE check).
compiler/add_pred.m:
When adding adding new predicate declarations, perform the BAD_DETISM
check, and record the info needed for the BAD_PREDMODE and BAD_MODE_SECTION
checks.
When adding adding new mode declarations, perform the BAD_PREDMODE
and BAD_MODE_SECTION checks.

library/calendar.m:
Add predicates and functions for converting between 1-based
and 0-based month numbers and values of the month/0 type.
The former are useful when dealing with human-provided dates
whereas the latter are useful when interacting with dates
provided from some foreign language (C and Java for example).
Add a predicate for testing for equality of dates ignoring
their time component.
Replace the locally defined predicate char_to_digit/2 with
calls to char.decimal_digit_to_int/2
Fix some formatting issues.

Extend this test case to cover the functionality added
above.
