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, ...).

Deprecate string.substring, string.foldl_substring, etc. in favour of
new procedures named string.between, string.foldl_between, etc.
The "between" procedures take a pair of [Start, End) endpoints instead
of Start, Count arguments. The reasons for this change are:
- the "between" procedures are more convenient
- "between" should be unambiguous. You can guess that it takes an End
argument instead of a Count argument without looking up the manual.
- Count arguments necessarily counted code units, but when working with
non-ASCII strings, almost the only way that the values would be arrived at
is by substracting one end point from another.
- it paves the way for a potential change to replace string offsets with an
abstract type. We cannot do that if users regularly have to perform a
subtraction between two offsets.

Workaround a problem in the demangler so that mprof works when the
library is compiled at -O5 and greater. The problem is that the names
of the predicates generated by unused argument analysis were changed
(when Simon integrated unused argument analysis into the intermodule
analysis framework), but the code in the demangler was never updated
accordingly. (The log message says that there was a change to the
demangler being planned at the same time, which is why it was never
updated - evidently it never happened.)
The above situation sometimes results in two different mangled names
demangling to the same name. The workaround, for the moment, is to
disable all demangling, bar the fixing of mangled ASCII codes, for
predicates created by unused argument analysis.

A first implementation of the inter-module analysis framwork.
Currently only unused argument analysis is supported.
The current inter-module analysis scheme using `.trans_opt' files
has some major limitations. The compilation dependencies introduced
by `.trans_opt' files are too complicated for Mmake without major
limitations on which modules can use the contents of which `.trans_opt'
files. Also, the `.trans_opt' file system only computes greatest fixpoints,
which is often too weak to find opportunities for optimization.
A better solution is to provide a library which manually handles
the dependencies introduced by inter-module analysis, and can deal with
the complications introduced by cyclic module dependencies.
TODO:
- support other analyses, e.g. termination, type specialization
- dependency tracking and invalidation after source modifications
- garbage collection of unused versions
- least fixpoint analyses

need into the new module mercury_prof_time. Leave mercury_prof
containing stuff that is only relevant to the old profiler.

runtime/mercury_strerror.[ch]:
Move the definition of strerror from mercury_prof to its own file.
runtime/mercury_wrapper.[ch]:
Add support for deep profiling.
Add suppory for controlling whether debugging output is buffered or
not.
Add support for watching the value at a given address.
runtime/Mmakefile:
Mention all the added files.
scripts/mgnuc.in:
Add an option for turning on deep profiling.
Add options for controlling the details of deep profiling. These
are not documented because they are intended only for benchmarking
the deep profiler itself, for the paper; they are not for general use.
tools/bootcheck:
Compile the deep_profiler directory as well as the other directories
containing Mercury code.
Turn off the creation of deep profiling data files during bootcheck,
since all but one of these in each directory will be overwritten
anyway.
Add support for turning on --keep-objs by default in a workspace.
tools/speedtest:
Preserve any deep profiling data files created by the tests.
trace/mercury_trace.c:
Trap attempts to perform retries in deep profiling grades, since they
would lead to core dumps otherwise.
util/Mmakefile:
Avoid compile-time warnings when compiling getopt.
tests/*/Mmakefile:
tests/*/*/Mmakefile:
In deep profiling grades, switch off the tests that test features
that don't work with deep profiling, either by design or because
the combination hasn't been implemented yet.

Implement demangling of predicate names introduced by type
specialization. This still doesn't work when the compiler adds
multiple prefixes to a predicate name.
profiler/demangle.m:
util/mdemangle.c:
When demangling of a compiler-generated predicate name fails, just
treat the predicate as an ordinary predicate. This is a temporary
work-around for the problem of demangling names with multiple
compiler-generated prefixes.
Change the printing of names in the profiler to match those generated
by the compiler (module:'p'/3 becomse `module:p/3').

Implement builtin tuple types, similar to those in Haskell.
Tuples are constructed and deconstructed using
the syntax X = {Arg1, Arg2, ...}.
Tuples have type `{Arg1, Arg2, ...}'.
Unary tuples (X = {Arg}) do work, unlike in Haskell. The rationale
for this is that it is useful to be able to construct unary tuples
to be passed to a polymorphic predicate which uses std_util__deconstruct
to deal with a tuple of any arity. Since this is probably the only
use for unary tuples, it's not really worth the effort of treating
them as no_tag types, so we don't.
The type-infos for tuples have the same structure as for higher-order
types. There is a single type_ctor_info for tuples, and the arity
is placed before the argument type_infos.
library/parser.m:
Change the way '{}/N' terms are parsed, so that the parsed
representation is consistent with the way other functors
are represented (previously the arguments were left as
unparsed ','/2 terms). This avoids special case code
in prog_io__parse_qualified_term, term__term_to_type
and term__type_to_term.
compiler/prog_io_dcg.m:
compiler/prog_io_util.m:
Handle the new structure of '{}/N' terms when parsing DCG escapes
by converting the argument list back into a single ','/2 term.
compiler/module_qual.m:
Treat tuples as a builtin type.
compiler/typecheck.m:
Typecheck tuple constructors.
compiler/mode_util.m:
Propagate types into tuple bound insts.
compiler/type_util.m:
Add type_is_tuple/2 and type_id_is_tuple/1 to identify tuple types.
Add tuples to the list of types which are not atomic types.
Handle tuple types in `type_constructors' and
`get_cons_id_arg_types' and `switch_type_num_functors'.
compiler/tabling.m:
Handle tabling of tuples.
compiler/term_util.m:
Handle tuples in the code to compute functor norms.
compiler/magic_util.m:
compiler/rl.m:
compiler/rl_key.m:
Handle tuple types in the Aditi back end.
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
library/io.m:
library/term_io.m:
Handle output of '{}/N' terms.
compiler/higher_order.m:
compiler/simplify.m:
Don't specialize complicated unifications of tuple
types into calls to a specific unification procedure --
even if the procedure were implemented, it probably
wouldn't be that much more efficient.
compiler/unify_proc.m:
Generate unification procedures for complicated unifications
of tuples (other than in-in unifications). These are generated
lazily as required.
compiler/make_hlds.m:
Export add_special_pred for use by unify_proc.m.
compiler/polymorphism.m:

Compute the field types for tuples.
compiler/polymorphism.m:

profiler/demangle.m:
Transform items named "{}" to "f_tuple" when mangling symbols.
library/builtin.m:
Define the type_ctor_info used for tuples.
library/private_builtin.m:
Add `builtin_unify_tuple/2' and `builtin_compare_tuple/3',
both of which abort. All comparisons and in-in unifications
of tuples are performed by the generic unification functions
in runtime/mercury_ho_call.c and runtime/mercury.c.
library/std_util.m:
Implement the various RTTI functions for tuples.
Encode tuple `TypeCtorDesc's in a similar way to that
used for higher-order types. This has the consequence that the limit
on the arity of higher-order types is now MAX_VIRTUAL_REG,
rather than 2*MAX_VIRTUAL_REG.
Avoid calling MR_GC_free for the type-info vector returned
from ML_expand() for tuples because unlike the vectors
for du types, it is not copied.
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
Add macros for extracting fields from tuple type-infos.
These just call the macros for extracting fields from higher-order
type-infos.
Add a macro MR_type_ctor_rep_is_variable_arity(), which
returns TRUE for tuples and higher-order types.
The distinction between higher-order and first-order types
is now misnamed -- the distinction is really between fixed arity
types and builtin variable arity types. I'm not sure whether
it's worth renaming everything.

Define unification and comparison of tuples in
high-level code grades.

During the writing of the RTTI paper, we decided that type_ctor_info
was a much better name than base_type_info.
Rename base_type* as type_ctor*, except we don't rename the modules

Deforestation.
This increases the code size of the compiler by ~80k when compiling
with --intermodule-optimization --deforestation.
The improvement from deforestation is not measurable for mmc -C make_hlds.m.
Compile time for make_hlds.m increased from 50.7 seconds to 52.2 seconds
when running deforestation.
compiler/simplify.m
compiler/common.m
Provide a nicer interface for simplifying a goal,
not an entire procedure.
Rework the interface to avoid manipulating lots of booleans.
Return an estimate of the improvement in cost from simplification.
Remove failing cases and disjuncts.
Add an option to optimize common structures even across calls.
Remove code to merge branched goals, since that is now
done by deforestation.
Fix a bug: the code to collect instmap_deltas for cases was not
including the switched-on variable in the instmap_delta,
which caused an abort in merge_instmap_delta if the switched
on variable was further instantiated in the switch.
This came up while compiling the compiler with --deforestation.
compiler/det_report.
Output duplicate call warnings even if --warn-simple-code is not set.
XXX fix the same problem with `:- pragma obsolete'.
compiler/code_aux.m
Update code_aux__cannot_loop to use termination information.
compiler/hlds_pred.m
compiler/dnf.m
Pass the type_info_varmap and typeclass_info_varmap
into hlds_pred__define_new_pred.
Restrict the variables of the new procedure onto the variables
of the goal.
Make sure all relevant type_infos are passed into the new
procedure if --typeinfo-liveness is set.
compiler/modes.m
compiler/unique_modes.m
compiler/mode_info.m
compiler/modecheck_unify.m
Put `how_to_check_goal' into the mode_info, rather
than passing it around.
Add a field to the `check_unique_modes' case which
controls whether unique modes is allowed to choose
a different procedure. For deforestation, this is
not allowed, since it could result in choosing a less
efficient procedure after generalisation.
compiler/options.m
New options:
--deforestation
--deforestation-depth-limit
Safety net for termination of the algorithm.
--deforestation-cost-factor
Fudge factor for working out whether deforestation
was worthwhile.
--deforestation-vars-threshold
Like --inline-vars-threshold.
Enable deforestation at -O3.
Removed an unnecessary mode for option_defaults_2, since it
resulted in a warning about disjuncts which cannot succeed.
compiler/handle_options.m
--no-reorder-conj implies --no-deforestation.
compiler/inlining.m
Separate code to rename goals into inlining__do_inline_call.
compiler/hlds_goal.m
Added predicates goal_list_nonlocals, goal_list_instmap_delta
and goal_list_determinism to approximate information about
conjunctions.
compiler/hlds_module.m
Added module_info_set_pred_proc_info to put an updated
pred_info and proc_info back into the module_info.
compiler/hlds_out.m
Exported hlds_out__write_instmap for debugging of deforestation.
Bracket module names on constructors where necessary.
compiler/mercury_compile.m

Add support for nested modules.
- module names may themselves be module-qualified
- modules may contain `:- include_module' declarations
which name sub-modules
- a sub-module has access to all the declarations in the
parent module (including its implementation section).
This support is not yet complete; see the BUGS and LIMITATIONS below.
LIMITATIONS
- source file names must match module names
(just as they did previously)
- mmc doesn't allow path names on the command line any more
(e.g. `mmc --make-int ../library/foo.m').
- import_module declarations must use the fully-qualified module name
- module qualifiers must use the fully-qualified module name
- no support for root-qualified module names
(e.g. `:parent:child' instead of `parent:child').
- modules may not be physically nested (only logical nesting, via
`include_module').
BUGS
- doesn't check that the parent module is imported/used before allowing
import/use of its sub-modules.
- doesn't check that there is an include_module declaration in the
parent for each module claiming to be a child of that parent
- privacy of private modules is not enforced

Mention that we support nested modules.
library/ops.m:
library/nc_builtin.nl:
library/sp_builtin.nl:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
Add `include_module' as a new prefix operator.
Change the associativity of `:' from xfy to yfx
(since this made parsing module qualifiers slightly easier).
compiler/prog_data.m:
Add new `include_module' declaration.
Change the `module_name' and `module_specifier' types
from strings to sym_names, so that module names can
themselves be module qualified.
compiler/modules.m:
Add predicates module_name_to_file_name/2 and
file_name_to_module_name/2.
Lots of changes to handle parent module dependencies,
to create parent interface (`.int0') files, to read them in,
to output correct dependencies information for them to the
`.d' and `.dep' files, etc.
Rewrite a lot of the code to improve the readability
(add comments, use subroutines, better variable names).
Also fix a couple of bugs:
- generate_dependencies was using the transitive implementation
dependencies rather than the transitive interface dependencies
to compute the `.int3' dependencies when writing `.d' files
(this bug was introduced during crs's changes to support
`.trans_opt' files)
- when creating the `.int' file, it was reading in the
interfaces for modules imported in the implementation section,
not just those in the interface section.
This meant that the compiler missed a lot of errors.

compiler/*.m:
Replace many occurrences of `string' with `module_name'.
Change code that prints out module names or converts
them to strings or filenames to handle the fact that
module names are now sym_names intead of strings.
Also change a few places (e.g. in intermod.m, hlds_module.m)
where the code assumed that any qualified symbol was
fully-qualified.
compiler/prog_io.m:
compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
Move sym_name_and_args/3, parse_qualified_term/4 and
parse_qualified_term/5 preds from prog_io_goal.m to prog_io.m,
since they are very similar to the parse_symbol_name/2 predicate
already in prog_io.m. Rewrite these predicates, both
to improve maintainability, and to handle the newly
allowed syntax (module-qualified module names).
Rename parse_qualified_term/5 as `parse_implicit_qualified_term'.
compiler/prog_io.m:
Rewrite the handling of `:- module' and `:- end_module'
declarations, so that it can handle nested modules.
Add code to parse `include_module' declarations.
compiler/prog_util.m:
compiler/*.m:
Add new predicates mercury_public_builtin_module/1 and
mercury_private_builtin_module/1 in prog_util.m.
Change most of the hard-coded occurrences of "mercury_builtin"

mercury_public_builtin_module/1 or both.

Move the predicates in_mode/1, out_mode/1, and uo_mode/1
from special_pred.m to mode_util.m, and change various
hard-coded definitions to instead call these predicates.
compiler/polymorphism.m:
Ensure that the type names `type_info' and `typeclass_info' are
module-qualified in the generated code. This avoids a problem
where the code generated by polymorphism.m was not considered
type-correct, due to the type `type_info' not matching
`mercury_builtin:type_info'.

Implement support for DLLs on Windows.
The changes consisted of
1. Adding `Makefile.DLLs', which is a file I wrote contains
GNU Make rules for building DLLs. Making sure that
the various Mmakefiles include that one.
2. Making sure we #include the "libfoo_dll.h" header file
generated by `Makefile.DLLs' before every place that
references a global variable.
3. Making sure that code which defines the DLLs is
compiled with -Dlibfoo_DEFINE_DLL.
5. Changing various places to explicitly register the data
segment as a root set with the conservative garbage collector.
This was necessary to get GC working with DLLs under Windows
(there doesn't seem to be any way of automatically finding
the data segments of DLLs under win32).
6. Changing the way names are mangled to ensure that the assembler
names always contain a leading underscore, since `dlltool'
on gnu-win32 requires this.
TODO:

Profiling code with lots of lambda goals was painful, because the names
of the predicates contained no information about which piece of the source
they correspond to. This change corrects this problem by enabling the
profiler to produce output such as:
... 0.00 0.00 <pred/func goal from lp:'pivot', line 362> [10]
... 0.00 0.00 <pred/func goal from lp:'pivot', line 356> [11]

tests/misc_tests/mdemangle_test.inp:
tests/misc_tests/mdemangle_test.exp:
Modify the expected output to reflect the bug fix to util/demangle.c.
profiler/demangle.m:
New module: contains a procedure for demangling Mercury labels.
profiler/demangle_test.m:
Test harness for demangle.m. Duplicates the functionality of
util/demangle.c. (Currently not used for anything except testing,
but we might one day want to use this code to replace util/demangle.c)
profiler/read.m:
Use the code in demangle.m to demangle labels.
profiler/output.m:
Output the alphabetic listing using one column rather than two,
since the demangled names are often too long to fit in a two-column
format.
profiler/options.m:
profiler/prof_info.m:
Remove some unnecessary `import_module' declarations.
compiler/unused_args.m:
Fix a bug in the mangling of predicate names for unused-arg
versions of special preds (index, compare, unify).
