Branches: main
Implement a new form of memory profiling, which tells the user what memory
is being retained during a program run. This is done by allocating an extra
word before each cell, which is used to "attribute" the cell to an
allocation site. The attribution, or "allocation id", is an address to an
MR_AllocSiteInfo structure generated by the Mercury compiler, giving the
procedure, filename and line number of the allocation, and the type
constructor and arity of the cell that it allocates.
The user must manually instrument the program with calls to
`benchmarking.report_memory_attribution', which forces a GC and summarises
the live objects on the heap using the attributions. The mprof tool is
extended with a new mode to parse and present that data.
Objects which are unattributed (e.g. by hand-written C code which hasn't
been updated) are still accounted for, but show up in profiles as "unknown".
Currently this profiling mode only works in conjunction with the Boehm
garbage collector, though in principle it can work with any memory allocator
for which we can access a list of the live objects. Since term size
profiling relies on the same technique of using an extra word per memory
cell, the two profiling modes are incompatible.
The output from `mprof -s' looks like this:
------ [1] some label ------

library/getopt.m:
Allow the determinism of the the option_defaults predicate
passed by users to getopt__process_options to be multi as well as
nondet. The natural determinism of such predicates is multi;
the nondet determinism dates from before the time the compiler
supported multi.
Add a version of process_options that allows it to be run more
than once (by allowing it to start with an option table returned
by a previous invocation) and returns the set of options set by
each invocation, so that the caller can tell which invocation
(if any) has set any given option.
Switch to 4-space indentation to reduce the number of bad line breaks.
library/svset.m:
This new module svset makes it easier to work with sets in

Fix SourceForge bug report #129892, "profiler map__lookup failed
in grade hlc.gc.memprof".
The remaining problem that was still causing failures for this
test case was that demangling isn't implemented for the MLDS
back-end. When symbols that the MLDS back end generates are
fed through the demangler, it demangles some distinct symbols
to the same name. This causes the profiler to abort, because
it assumes that each distinct symbol demangles to a different
name.
The fix is to turn off demangling when profiling programs
built in MLDS grades.
NEWS:
Mention that we haven't implemented symbol demangling
in the profiler for the MLDS back-end yet.
doc/user_guide.texi:
Document that for profiling of programs built with
`--high-level-code' you need to use the `--no-demangle'

New file. Contains alternative expected output for this test
case, to match what is output for grade hlc.gc.memprof (at -O2).

runtime/mercury_heap_profile.h:
runtime/mercury_heap_profile.c:
New files. These contain code to record heap profiling information.
runtime/mercury_heap.h:
Add new macros incr_hp_msg(), tag_incr_hp_msg(),
incr_hp_atomic_msg(), and tag_incr_hp_atomic_msg().
These are like the non-`msg' versions, except that if
PROFILE_MEMORY is defined, they also call MR_record_allocation()
from mercury_heap_profile.h to record heap profiling information.
Also, fix up the indentation in lots of places.
runtime/mercury_prof.h:
runtime/mercury_prof.c:
Added code to dump out memory profiling information to files
`Prof.MemoryWords' and `Prof.MemoryCells' (for use by mprof).
Change the format of the `Prof.Counts' file so that the
first line says what it is counting, the units, and a scale
factor. Prof.MemoryWords and Prof.MemoryCells can thus have
exactly the same format as Prof.Counts.
Also cleaned up the interface to mercury_prof.c a bit, and did
various other minor cleanups -- indentation changes, changes to

accomodate the new field in `incr_hp' and `create' instructions.
library/io.m:

Add `report_full_memory_stats'. This uses the information saved
by runtime/mercury_heap_profile.{c,h} to print out a report
of memory usage by procedures and by types.
Also modify `report_stats' to print out some of that information.
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
If `--statistics' is enabled, call io__report_full_memory_stats

Also comment out the documentation for
`.profcalls'/`--profile-calls', since it is redundant --
`.memprof' produces the same information and more.

Undo dylan's changes in the names of some library entities,
by applying the following sed script
s/term_atom/term__atom/g
s/term_string/term__string/g
s/term_integer/term__integer/g
s/term_float/term__float/g
s/term_context/term__context/g
s/term_functor/term__functor/g
s/term_variable/term__variable/g
s/_term__/_term_/g
s/std_util__bool_/bool__/g
to all the `.m' and `.pp' files in the compiler and library directories.
The reason for undoing these changes was to minimize incompatibilities
with 0.4 (and besides, the changes were not a really good idea in the first
place).
I also moved `bool' from std_util.m to a separate module.
The main reason for that change is to ensure that the `__' prefix is
only used when it genuinely represents a module qualifier.
(That's what dylan's changes were trying to acheive, but `term__'
does genuinely represent a module qualifier.)
profiler/*.m:
Where appropriate, add `bool' to the list of imported modules.
README:
Very basic description of how to enable profiling and view the
results. Please send comment's on the bits you don't understand
and the I should explain better and expand on.
*.m:
Now also generate's the flat profile. Which tells you how much time
you spend in each predicate as a percentage of total time.
Also print's out an alphabetic list of all the predicate's and there
ID numbers.
mercury_profile.m:
mercury_profile.m now propogate's all the count's around the call
graph. Doesn't output this yet.
options.m:
minor cosmetic changes.
mercury_profile.m:
The profiler. (At the moment just processes the addrdecl file)
*.m:
Command line parsing stolen from compiler. (Not linked into entirely
into mercury_profile, as causes a compiler bug)
rbtree.m:
Removed as not needed anymore, as part of the library.
