1b7e5adecf Don't use __builtin_setjmp, __builtin_longjmp on AArch64 with older GCCs.
There is an issue on Linux/aarch64 with older versions of gcc where a
commit performed on a thread using the gcc __builtin_longjmp function
causes an assertion failure in pthread_create() if the Mercury runtime
is dynamically linked:

    pthread_create.c:430: start_thread: Assertion `freesize < pd->stackblock_size' failed.

or a crash if the Mercury runtime is statically linked:

    *** Mercury runtime: caught segmentation violation ***
    cause: address not mapped to object

The gcc versions tested are:

    BAD - gcc version 6.3.0 20170516 (Debian 6.3.0-18) from Debian 9
    BAD - gcc version 8.3.0 (Debian 8.3.0-2) from Debian 10
    OK  - gcc version 10.2.1 20210110 (Debian 10.2.1-6) from Debian 11

on Debian with glibc.

runtime/mercury.h:
    Define MR_USE_GCC_BUILTIN_SETJMP_LONGJMP if we decide to use gcc's
    __builtin_setjmp and __builtin_longjmp functions instead of the
    standard functions.

    Use standard setjmp/longjmp on aarch64 if gcc version is < 10.

    Update the comment for MR_builtin_jmp_buf to refer to the GCC manual
    instead of the GCC source code. Use an array of 'intptr_t's instead
    of 'void *'s, to match the manual.

24b98fdafe Pack sub-word-sized ints and dummies in terms.
Previously, the only situation in which we could pack two or more arguments
of a term into a single word was when all those arguments are enums. This diff
changes that, so that the arguments can also be sub-word-sized integers
(signed or unsigned), or values of dummy types (which occupy zero bits).

This diff also records, for each argument of a function symbol, not just
whether, and if yes, how it is packed into a word, but also at *what offset*
that word is in the term's heap cell. It is more economical to compute this
once, when the representation of the type is being decided, than to compute
it over and over again when terms with that function symbol are being
constructed or deconstructed. However, for a transition period, we compute
these offsets at *both* times, to check the consistency of the new algorithm
for computing offsets that is run at "decide representation time" with
the old algorithms run at "generate code for a unification time".

compiler/du_type_layout.m:
    Make the changes described above: pack sub-word-sized integers and
    dummy values into argument words, if possible, and if the relevant
    new option allows it. These options are temporary. If we find no problems
    with the new packing algorithm in a few weeks, we should be able to
    delete them.

    Allow 64 bit ints and uints to be stored in unboxed in two words
    on 32 bit platforms, if the relevant new option allows it. Support
    for this is not yet complete, but it makes sense to implement the
    RTTI changes for both this change and one described in the above
    paragraph together.

    For each packed argument, record not just its width, its shift and
    the mask, but also the number of bits the argument takes. Previously,
    we computed this on demand from the mask, but there is no real need
    for that when simply storing this info is so cheap.

    For all arguments, packed or not, record its offset, relative to both
    the start of the arguments, and the start of the memory cell. (The two
    are different if the arguments are preceded by either a remote secondary
    tag, the typeinfos and/or typeclass_infos describing some existentially
    typed arguments, or both.) The reason for this is given at the top.

    Centralize the decision of the parameters of packing in one predicate.

    If the option --inform-suboptimal-packing is given, print an informational
    message whenever the code deciding type representations finds that
    reordering the arguments of a function symbol would allow it to pack
    the arguments of that function symbol into less space.

compiler/options.m:
    Add the option --allow-packing-ints which controls whether
    du_type_layout.m will attempt to pack {int,uint}{8,16,32} arguments
    alongside enum arguments.

    Add the option --allow-packing-dummies which controls whether
    du_type_layout.m will optimize away (in other words, represent in 0 bits)
    arguments of dummy types.

    Add the option --allow-double-word-ints which controls whether
    du_type_layout.m will store arguments of the types int64 and uint64
    unboxed in two words on 32 bit platforms, the way it currently stores
    double precision floats.

    All three those options are off by default, which preserves binary
    compatibility with existing code. However, the first two are ready
    to be switched on (the third is not).

    All three options are intended to be present in the compiler
    only until these changes are tested. Once we deem them sufficiently
    tested, I will modify the compiler to always do the packing they control,
    at which point we can delete these options. This is why they are not
    documented.

    Add the option --inform-suboptimal-packing, whose meaning is described
    above.

doc/user_guide.texi:
    Document --inform-suboptimal-packing.

compiler/prog_data.m:
    For each argument of a function symbol in a type definition, use
    a new type called arg_pos_width to record the extra information
    mentioned above in (offsets for all arguments, and number of bits
    for packed arguments).

    For each function symbol that has some existential type constraints,
    record the extra information mentioned for parse_type_defn.m below.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
    Include the position, as well as the width, in the representation
    of the arguments of function symbols.

    Previously, we used the integer 0 as a tag for dummies. Add a tag to
    represent dummy values, since this gives more information to any code
    that sees that tag.

compiler/ml_unify_gen.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:
    Handle the packing of dummy values, and of sub-word-sized ints and uints.

    Compare the cell offset of each argument computed using existing
    algorithms here with the cell offset recorded in the argument's
    representation, and abort if they are different.

    In some cases, restructure code a bit to make it possible.
    For example, for tuples and closures, this means that instead of
    simply recording that each tuple argument or closure element
    is a full word, we must record its correct offset as well.

    Handle the new dummy_tag.

    Add prelim (not yet finished) support for double-word int64s/uint64s
    on 32 bit platforms.

    When packing the values of two or more variables (or constants) into a
    single word in a memory cell, optimize away operations that are no-ops,
    such as shifting anything by zero bits, shifting the constant zero
    by any number of bits, and ORing anything with zero. This makes the
    generated code easier to read. It is probably also faster for us
    to do it here than to write out a bigger expression, have the C compiler
    read in the bigger expression, and then later make the same optimization.

    In ml_unify_gen.m, avoid the unnecessary use of a list of the argument
    variables' types separate from the list of the argument variables
    themselves; just look up the type of each argument variable when it is
    processed.

compiler/add_special_pred.m:
    When creating special (unify and compare) predicates for tuples,
    include the offsets in the representation of their arguments.

    Delete an unused predicate.

compiler/llds.m:
    Add a new way to create an rval: a cast. We use it to implement
    the extraction of signed sub-word-sized integers from packed argument
    words in terms. Masking the right N bits out of the packed word
    leaves the other 32-N or 64-N bits as zeroes; a cast to int8_t,
    int16_t or int32_t will copy the sign bit to these bits.
    Likewise, when we pack signed int{8,16,32} values into words,
    we cast them to their unsigned versions to throw away any sign-extension
    bits in their original word-sized representations.

    No similar change is needed for the MLDS, since that already had
    a mechanism for casts.

compiler/mlds.m:
    Note a potential simplification in the MLDS.

compiler/builtin_lib_types.m:
    Add functions to return the Mercury representation of the int64
    and uint64 types.

compiler/foreign.m:
    Export a specialized version of an existing predicate, to allow
    ml_unify_gen.m to avoid the costs of the more general version.

compiler/hlds_out_module.m:
    Always print the representations of all arguments, since the
    inclusion of position information in those representation means that
    the representations of even all-full-word-argument terms are of potential
    interest when debugging term representations.

compiler/lco.m:
    Do not try to apply LCO to arguments of dummy types. (We could optimize
    them differently, by filling them in before they are "computed", but
    that is a separate optimization, which is of *very* low priority.)

compiler/liveness.m:
    Do not include variables of dummy types in resume points.

    The reason for this is that the code that establishes a resume point
    returns, for each such variable, a list of *lvals* where that variable
    can be found. The new code in unify_gen.m will optimize away assignments
    to values of dummy types, so there is *no* lval where they can be found.
    We could allocate one, but doing so would be a pessimization. Instead,
    we simply don't save and restore such values. When their value (which is
    always 0) is needed, we can create them out of thin air.

compiler/ml_global_data.m:
    Include the target language in the ml_global_data structure, to prevent
    some of its users having to look it up in the module_info.

    Add notes about the specializing the implementation of arrays of
    int64s/uint64s on 32 bit platforms.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
compiler/ml_type_gen.m:
    Add sanity checks of the new precomputed fields of exist_constraints.

    Conform to the changes above.

compiler/mlds_to_c.m:
    Add prelim (not yet finished) support for double-word int64s/uint64s
    on 32 bit platforms.

    Add notes about possible optimizations.

compiler/parse_type_defn.m:
    When a function symbol in a type definition contains existential
    arguments, precompute and store the set of constrained and unconstrained
    type variables. The code in du_type_layout.m needs this information
    to compute the number of slots occupied by typeinfos and typeclass_infos
    in memory cells for this function symbol, and several other places
    in the compiler do too. It is easier and faster to compute this
    information just once, and this is the earliest time what that can be done.

compiler/type_ctor_info.m:
    Use the prerecorded information about existential types to simplify
    the code here

compiler/polymorphism.m:
    Add an XXX about possibly using the extra info we now record in
    exist_constraints to simplify the job of polymorphism.m.

compiler/pragma_c_gen.m:
compiler/var_locn.m:
    Create the values of dummy variables from scratch, if needed.

compiler/rtti.m:
    Replace a bool with a bespoke type.

compiler/rtti_out.m:
compiler/rtti_to_mlds.m:
    When generating RTTI information for the LLDS and MLDS backends
    respectively, record new kinds of arguments as needing special
    treatment. These are int64s and uint64s stored unboxed in two words
    on 32 bit platforms, {int,uint}{8,16,32} values packed into words,
    and dummy arguments. Each of these has a special code: its own negative
    negative value in the num_bits field of the argument.

    Generate slightly better formatted output.

compiler/type_util.m:
    Delete a predicate that isn't needed anymore.

compiler/opt_util.m:
    Delete a function that hasn't been needed for a while.

    Factor out some common code.

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
    Allocate special values of the MR_arg_bits field of the MR_DuArgLocn type
    to designate arguments as two word int64/uint64s, as sub-word-sized
    arguments of types {int,uint}{8,16,32}, or as arguments of dummy types.
    (We already had a special value for two word float arguments.)

    Document the list of places that know about this code, so that they

library/construct.m:
    Handle the construction of terms with two-word int64/uint64 arguments,
    with packed {int,uint}{8,16,32} arguments, and with dummy arguments.

    Factor out the code common to the sectag-present and sectag-absent cases,
    to make it possible to do the above in just *one* place.

    Add an XXX to a place that I don't think handles two word arguments
    correctly. (I think this is an old bug.)

    with packed {int,uint}{8,16,32} arguments, and with dummy arguments.

    and packed dummies.

tests/hard_coded/deconstruct_arg.{m,exp}:
    Convert the source code of this test case to state variable notation,
    and update the line number references (in the names of predicates created
    from lambda expressions) accordingly.

f519e26173 Add builtin 64-bit integer types -- Part 1.
Add the new builtin types: int64 and uint64.

Support for these new types will need to be bootstrapped over several changes.
This is the first such change and does the following:

- Extends the compiler to recognise 'int64' and 'uint64' as builtin types.
- Extends the set of builtin arithmetic, bitwise and relational operators
  to cover the new types.
- Adds the new internal option '--unboxed-int64s' to the compiler; this will be
  used to control whether 64-bit integer types are boxed or not.
- Extends all of the code generators to handle the new types.
- Extends the runtimes to support the new types.
- Adds new modules to the standard library intend to contain basic operations
  on the new types.  (These are currently empty and not documented.)

There are bunch of limitations marks with "XXX INT64"; these will be lifted in
part 2 of this change.  Also, 64-bit integer types are currently always boxed,
again this limitation will be lifted in later changes.

cd72d000a8 Remove support for the MPS garbage collector.
As Tomas By's recent emails suggest, this support is doing more harm than good,
by falsely implying to people that MPS is a viable alternative to the Boehm
collector. The MPS collector was only ever experimental, and never performed
as well as Boehm. MPS isn't even in the git repository on git hub. It was
stored in a separate CVS repository on mundula, and (as far as I know)
wasn't carried over to github. The code of MPS was last touched a long time
ago; I would be surprised if it worked on today's systems without changes.

baaa4f55ee Fix problems with the Mercury compiler in the C# grade.
Fix some problems that prevent the Mercury compiler building and running in the
C# grade.  "Running" here means that ./mercury_compile --help works; I haven't
tried anything more ambitious (yet).

mdbcomp/shared_utilities.m:
	Add a Mercury definition of unlimit_stack/2 for use by the non-C
	backends.

runtime/mercury.h:
	Do not cause a preprocessor error if we are compiling with high-level
	code and without the Boehm GC if we are using clang.
	We need this on OS X because we include this header when building the
	programs in the util directory and on OS X we will probably be using
	clang rather than GCC.  (Clang and GCC both support the required
	extensions to C here, so this won't be a problem.)

573e6f2f00 Support unboxed float fields in high-level C grades.
Branches: main

Support unboxed float fields in high-level C grades.

When the representation of `float' is no wider than a machine word, d.u.
functor arguments of type `float' (or equivalent) will be stored directly
within cells constructed for that functor, instead of a pointer to the box
containing the value.  This was already so for low-level C grades.

compiler/mlds.m:
	Add an option to mlds_type, equivalent to
	`mlds_array_type(mlds_generic_type)' except that some elements are
	known to be floats.

	Update some comments.

compiler/ml_global_data.m:
	Remember the `--unboxed-float' option in `ml_global_data'.

	Special case generic arrays in `ml_gen_static_scalar_const_addr' and
	`ml_gen_static_scalar_const_value'.  Float literals cannot be used to
	initialize an element of a generic array in C.  If any appear, replace
	the generic array type by an instance of
	`mlds_mostly_generic_array_type' with float fields in the positions
	which have float initializers.

compiler/ml_code_util.m:
	Make `ml_must_box_field_type' and `ml_gen_box_const_rval' depend on the
	`--unboxed-float' option.

	Delete some now-misleading comments.

	Delete an unused predicate.

compiler/mlds_to_c.m:
	Update code that writes out scalar static data to handle
	`mlds_mostly_generic_array_type'.

	In one case, for `--high-level-data' only, output float constants by
	their integer representation, so that they may be cast to pointer
	types.

	Rename some predicates for clarity.

	layout of floating point values.

library/exception.m:

runtime/mercury.c:
runtime/mercury.h:
	Make MR_box_float/MR_unbox_float act like "casts" when MR_BOXED_FLOAT
	is undefined, and only define them in high-level grades.  I think they
	should be replaced by MR_float_to_word/MR_word_to_float (which have
	less confusing names when there is no boxing) but that would require
	some header file reshuffling which I don't want to undertake yet.

	Delete references to MR_AVOID_MACROS.  Apparently it existed to support
	the defunct gcc back-end but I cannot see it ever being defined.

runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
	MR_HIGHLEVEL_CODE no longer implies MR_BOXED_FLOAT.

7e26b55e74 Implement a new form of memory profiling, which tells the user what memory
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 ------
   cells            words         cumul  procedure / type (location)

Estimated hours taken: 5
Branches: main

One of Hans Boehm's papers says that heap cells allocated by GC_MALLOC_ATOMIC
are grouped together into pages, and these pages aren't scanned during the
sweep phase of the garbage collector. I therefore modified the compiler
to use GC_MALLOC_ATOMIC instead of GC_MALLOC whereever possible, i.e
when the cell being allocated is guaranteed not to have any pointer to
GCable memory inside it.

My first benchmarking run showed a speedup of 4.5% in asm_fast.gc:

EXTRA_MCFLAGS = --use-atomic-cells
mercury_compile.01 average of 6 with ignore=1     18.30
EXTRA_MCFLAGS = --no-use-atomic-cells
mercury_compile.02 average of 6 with ignore=1     19.17

However, later benchmarks, after the upgrade to version 7.0 of boehm_gc,
show a less favourable and more mixed picture, with e.g. a 4% speedup
in hlc.gc at -O3, a 3% slowdown in asm_fast.gc at -O4, and little effect
otherwise:

Move changes in the library on the mode-constraints branch onto the trunk.

library/eqvclass.m:
	Add some utility functions and predicates.

library/map.m:
	Add some utility functions and predicates, and some type
	specialization directives.

library/tree234.m:
	Add some utility functions and predicates.

library/robdd.m:
	Add this module, which provides a Mercury interface to the C code in
	robdd/bryant.c. In some places, robustness has been sacrificed for
	speed, and the module is not (yet) as well documented as it could be;
	therefore it is not (yet) included in the documentation.

library/pprint.m:
	Print robdds nicely, since this is essential to debugging code handling
	robdds. (This is why adding robdd.m in some other directory, e.g. the
	compiler, wouldn't really work.)

library/term.m:
	Add a function that returns the highest numbered vars created from
	a var_supply.

library/varset.m:
	Add a function that returns the highest numbered vars created from
	a varset.

library/unsafe.m:
	Add this module here, since it may be needed to debug code in the
	library (e.g. in robdd.m.).

library/library.m:
	Add a reference to the robdd module, and a commented out reference
	to the unsafe module. If a developer needs to use unsafe.m anywhere
	in the Mercury implementation, they can uncomment this reference
	in the relevant workspace.

	Make the list of modules easier to maintain (especially in the case
	of CVS conflicts) by listing one module per line.

	Fix formatting of some foreign_procs.

NEWS:
	Mention the new predicates and functions.

Mmake.workspace:
	Add a new make variable that specifies the location of the robdd
	subdirectory.

Mmakefile:
	Add rules for handling the robdd subdirectory.

configure.in:
	Check whether the compiler can handle local foreign_decls, since
	robdd.m now needs this.

tools/bootcheck:
	Add the robdd subdirectory to the stage 2 & 3 directories.

deep_profiler/unsafe.m:
	Remove this module from this directory.

doc/Mmakefile:
	Do not include the robdd and unsafe modules in the documentation.
	The robdd module because (in its present state) it is not stable
	enough, the unsafe module because it is not enabled in installed
	versions of the library.

robdd/Makefile:
	Update the set of default compilation flags. The main code in this
	directory, bryant.c, is #included in library/robdd.m, and the only
	other programs in this directory are test programs.

robdd/Mmakefile:
	New file. Includes a mechanism to compile bryant.c in the robdd
	subdirectory, since this can give cleaner error messages than
	compiling library/robdd.m.

robdd/bryant.[ch]:
	Huge cleanup of these files. Add MR_ROBDD_ prefixes to global symbols,

f007b45df8 Implement the infrastructure for term size profiling.
Estimated hours taken: 400
Branches: main

Implement the infrastructure for term size profiling. This means adding two
new grade components, tsw and tsc, and implementing them in the LLDS code
generator. In grades including tsw (term size words), each term is augmented
with an extra word giving the number of heap words it contains; in grades
including tsc (term size cells), each term is augmented with an extra word
giving the number of heap cells it contains. The extra word is at the start,
at offset -1, to leave almost all of the machinery for accessing the heap
unchanged.

For now, the only way to access term sizes is with a new mdb command,
"term_size <varspec>". Later, we will use term sizes in conjunction with
deep profiling to do experimental complexity analysis, but that requires
a lot more research. This diff is a necessary first step.

The implementation of term size profiling consists of three main parts:

- a source-to-source transform that computes the size of each heap cell
  when it is constructed (and increments it in the rare cases when a free
  argument of an existing heap cell is bound),

- a relatively small change to the code generator that reserves the extra
  slot in new heap cells, and

- extensions to the facilities for creating cells from C code to record
  the extra information we now need.

The diff overhauls polymorphism.m to make the source-to-source transform
possible. This overhaul includes separating type_ctor_infos and type_infos
as strictly as possible from each other, converting type_ctor_infos into
type_infos only as necessary. It also includes separating type_ctor_infos,
type_infos, base_typeclass_infos and typeclass_infos (as well as voids,
for clarity) from plain user-defined type constructors in type categorizations.
This change needs this separation because values of those four types do not
have size slots, but they ought to be treated specially in other situations
as well (e.g. by tabling).

The diff adds a new mdb command, term_size. It also replaces the proc_body
mdb command with new ways of using the existing print and browse commands
("print proc_body" and "browse proc_body") in order to make looking at
procedure bodies more controllable. This was useful in debugging the effect
of term size profiling on some test case outputs. It is not strictly tied
to term size profiling, but turns out to be difficult to disentangle.

compiler/size_prof.m:
	A new module implementing the source-to-source transform.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Mention the new module.

compiler/transform_hlds.m:
	Include size_prof as a submodule of transform_hlds.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	If term size profiling is enabled, invoke its source-to-source
	transform.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Extend construction unifications with an optional slot for recording
	the size of the term if the size is a constant, or the identity of the
	variable holding the size, if the size is not constant. This is
	needed by the source-to-source transform.

compiler/quantification.m:
	Treat the variable reference that may be in this slot as a nonlocal
	variable of construction unifications, since the code generator needs
	this.

compiler/compile_target_code.m:
	Handle the new grade components.

compiler/options.m:
	Implement the options that control term size profiling.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document the options and grade components that control term size
	profiling, and the term_size mdb command. The documentation is
	commented out for now.

	Modify the wording of the 'u' HLDS dump flag to include other details
	of unifications (e.g. term size info) rather than just unification
	categories.

	Document the new alternatives of the print and browse commands. Since
	they are for developers only, the documentation is commented out.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Handle the implications of term size profiling grades.

	Add a -D flag value to print HLDS components relevant to HLDS
	transformations.

compiler/modules.m:
	Import the new builtin library module that implements the operations
	needed by term size profiling automatically in term size profiling
	grades.

	Switch the predicate involved to use state var syntax.

compiler/prog_util.m:
	Add predicates and functions that return the sym_names of the modules
	needed by term size profiling.

compiler/code_info.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:
compiler/var_locn.m:
 	Reserve an extra slot in heap cells and fill them in in unifications
	marked by size_prof.

compiler/builtin_ops.m:
	Add term_size_prof_builtin.term_size_plus as a builtin, with the same
	implementation as int.+.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Disable warnings about clauses for builtins while the change to
	builtin_ops is bootstrapped.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Export predicates that generate goals to create type_infos and
	type_ctor_infos to add_to_construct.m. Rewrite their documentation
	to make it more detailed.

	Make orders of arguments amenable to the use of state variable syntax.

	Consolidate knowledge of which type categories have builtin unify and
	compare predicates in one place.

	Add code to leave the types of type_ctor_infos alone: instead of
	changing their types to type_info when used as arguments of other
	type_infos, create a new variable of type type_info instead, and
	use an unsafe_cast. This would make the HLDS closer to being type
	correct, but this new code is currently commented out, for two
	reasons. First, common.m is currently not smart enough to figure out
	that if X and Y are equal, then similar unsafe_casts of X and Y
	are also equal, and this causes the compiler do not detect some
	duplicate calls it used to detect. Second, the code generators
	are also not smart enough to know that if Z is an unsafe_cast of X,
	then X and Z do not need separate stack slots, but can use the same
	slot.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Add utility predicates for returning the types of type_infos and
	type_ctor_infos, for use by new code in polymorphism.m.

	Move some utility predicates here from other modules, since they
	are now used by more than one module.

	Rename the type `builtin_type' as `type_category', to better reflect
	what it does. Extend it to put the type_info, type_ctor_info,
	typeclass_info, base_typeclass_info and void types into categories
	of their own: treating these types as if they were a user-defined
	type (which is how they used to be classified) is not always correct.
	Rename the functor polymorphic_type to variable_type, since types
	such as list(T) are polymorphic, but they fall into the user-defined
	category. Rename user_type as user_ctor_type, since list(int) is not
	wholly user-defined but falls into this category. Rename pred_type
	as higher_order_type, since it also encompasses functions.

	Replace code that used to check for a few of the alternatives
	of this type with code that does a full switch on the type,
	to ensure that they are updated if the type definition ever
	changes again.

compiler/pseudo_type_info.m:
	Delete a predicate whose updated implementation is now in type_util.m.

compiler/mlds_to_c.m:
compiler/mlds_to_gcc.m:
compiler/mlds_to_il.m:
compiler/mlds_to_java.m:
	Still treat type_infos, type_ctor_infos, typeclass_infos and
	base_typeclass_infos as user-defined types, but prepare for when
	they won't be.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Require interface typeinfo liveness when term size profiling is
	enabled.

	Add term_size_profiling_builtin.increase_size as a
	no_type_info_builtin.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Print the size annotations on unifications if HLDS dump flags call
	for unification details. (The flag test is in the caller of the
	modified predicate.)

compiler/llds.m:
	Extend incr_hp instructions and data_addr_consts with optional fields
	that allow the code generator to refer to N words past the start of
	a static or dynamic cell. Term size profiling uses this with N=1.

	When allocating memory on the heap, use the macro variants that
	specify an optional offset, and specify the offset when required.

	Fix a bug caused by a missing backslash.

runtime/mercury_heap.h:
	Change the basic macros for allocating new heap cells to take
	an optional offset argument. If this is nonzero, the macros
	increment the returned address by the given number of words.
	Term size profiling specifies offset=1, reserving the extra
	word at the start (which is ignored by all components of the
	system except term size profiling) for holding the size of the term.

	Provide macros for preserving the old interface presented by this file
	to the extent possible. Since the old MR_create[123] and MR_list_cons
	macros did not specify type information, they had to be changed
	to take additional arguments. This affects only hand-written C code.

	Call new diagnostic macros that can help debug heap allocations.

	Document why the macros in this files must expand to expressions

runtime/mercury_term_size.[ch]:
	A new module to house a function to find and return term sizes
	stored in heap cells.

runtime/mercury_proc_id.h:
runtime/mercury_univ.h:
	New header files. mercury_proc_id.h contains the (unchanged)
	definition of MR_Proc_Id, while mercury_univ.h contains the
	definitions of the macros for manipulating univs that used to be
	in mercury_type_info.h, updated to use the new macros for allocating
	memory.

	In the absence of these header files, the following circularity
	would ensue:

	mercury_deep_profiling.h includes mercury_stack_layout.h
		- needs definition of MR_Proc_Id
	mercury_stack_layout.h needs mercury_type_info.h
		- needs definition of MR_PseudoTypeInfo
	mercury_type_info.h needs mercury_heap.h
		- needs heap allocation macros for MR_new_univ_on_hp
	mercury_heap.h includes mercury_deep_profiling.h
		- needs MR_current_call_site_dynamic for recording allocations

	Breaking the circular dependency in two places, not just one, is to
	minimize similar problems in the future.

runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
	Delete the definition of MR_Proc_Id, which is now in mercury_proc_id.h.

	Implement the mdb command "term_size <varspec>", which is like
	"print <varspec>", but prints the size of a term instead of its value.
	In non-term-size-profiling grades, it prints an error message.

	Replace the "proc_body" command with optional arguments to the "print"
	and "browse" commands.

doc/user_guide.tex:
	Add documentation of the term_size mdb command. Since the command is
	for implementors only, and works only in grades that are not yet ready
	for public consumption, the documentation is commented out.

	Add documentation of the new arguments of the print and browse mdb
	commands. Since they are for implementors only, the documentation
	is commented out.

trace/mercury_trace_vars.[ch]:
	Add the functions needed to implement the term_size command, and
	factor out the code common to the "size" and "print"/"browse" commands.

	Decide whether to print the name of a variable before invoking the
	supplied print or browse predicate on it based on a flag design for
	this purpose, instead of overloading the meaning of the output FILE *
	variable. This arrangement is much clearer.

trace/mercury_trace_browse.c:
trace/mercury_trace_external.c:
trace/mercury_trace_help.c:
	Supply type information when constructing terms.

browser/program_representation.m:
	Since the new library module term_size_prof_builtin never generates
	any events, mark it as such, so that the declarative debugger doesn't
	expect it to generate any.

	Do the same for the deep profiling builtin module.

tests/debugger/term_size_words.{m,inp,exp}:
tests/debugger/term_size_cells.{m,inp,exp}:
	Two new test cases, each testing one of the new grades.

tests/debugger/Mmakefile:
	Enable the two new test cases in their grades.

	Disable the tests sensitive to stack frame sizes in term size profiling
	grades.

tests/debugger/completion.exp:
	Add the new "term_size" mdb command to the list of command completions,
	and delete "proc_body".

tests/debugger/declarative/dependency.{inp,exp}:
	Use "print proc_body" instead of "proc_body".

tests/hard_coded/nondet_c.m:
tests/hard_coded/pragma_inline.m:
	Use MR_offset_incr_hp instead of MR_incr_hp to ensure that all places
	that allocate cells also allocate space for the term size slot if
	necessary.

tests/valid/Mmakefile:
	Disable the IL tests in term size profiling grades, since the term size
	profiling primitives haven't been (and probably won't be) implemented
	for the MLDS backends, and handle_options causes a compiler abort
	for grades that combine term size profiling and any one of IL, Java
	and high level C.

17d5aa732e Add support for interfacing Mercury with the MPS garbage collector.
Estimated hours taken: 20
Branches: main

Add support for interfacing Mercury with the MPS garbage collector.

This change is broken into three parts:

	1. Import version 1.100.1 of the MPS kit into the Mercury
	   CVS repository, in the directory `mps_gc'.

	2. Make some changes to the MPS kit for Mercury,
	   to support fully-conservative collection and tagged pointers,
	   and to wrap it in an interface that is similar to that of
	   the Boehm collector.

	3. Modify the rest of the Mercury implementation
	   to support linking with the MPS kit instead
	   of the Boehm collector.  This involved defining
	   `mps' as a new GC method and a new grade component.

This is part 3 of 3.

Mmake.workspace:
	Include the MPS directories in the header file and library search
	paths.

tools/bootcheck:
	Link the mps_gc directory into the stage2 and stage3 directories.

Mmake.workspace:
runtime/Mmakefile:
scripts/ml.in:
	For *.mps grades, link in mps.a.
	(XXX ml.in is linking in libmps.a, which is wrong.)

runtime/Mmakefile:
trace/Mmakefile:
	In the rule for `check_headers', which checks macro namespace
	cleanliness, allow names to start with `MPS_' or `mps_'.

runtime/RESERVED_MACRO_NAMES:
	Add `mercury_mps_h', which is used by mps_gc/code/mercury_mps.h
	for its header guard.  (Normally it would be better to use
	uppercase for header guard macro names, but that would be
	inconsistent with the coding style used in mps_gc/code.)

scripts/canonical_grade.sh-subr:
scripts/init_grade_options.sh-subr:

scripts/canonical_grade.sh-subr:
	Handle the new `mps' GC method and grade component.

	Replace gc_method `conservative' with two alternatives
	`boehm' and `mps'. ("--gc conservative" is still allowed,
	and treated as equivalent to "--gc boehm".)
	Add new function `gc_is_conservative' to globals.m.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
	Use `gc_is_conservative' rather than `= conservative'.

library/array.m:
	Use GC_FREE() rather than GC_free().
	This is needed for two reasons:
	- so that it works with MPS, which only defines GC_FREE
	- so that it works with then Boehm collector when
	  GC debugging is enabled

library/benchmarking.m:
	Output GC statistics for the MPS collector.

runtime/mercury.h:

	Add configuration macros MR_BOEHM_GC and MR_MPS_GC.
	Set MR_CONSERVATIVE_GC if either of these is set.
	Default to MR_BOEHM_GC if only MR_CONSERVATIVE_GC is set.

runtime/mercury_context.h:
runtime/mercury_deep_copy.h:
runtime/mercury_engine.h:
runtime/mercury_float.h:
runtime/mercury_heap.h:
	Explictly #include "mercury_conf.h", so that
	MR_CONSERVATIVE_GC will be set properly before it is tested.

runtime/mercury_grade.h:
	Handle the .mps grade component.

runtime/mercury_memory.c:
runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
runtime/mercury_memory_handlers.c:
	Move the call to MR_setup_signals() earlier in the
	initialization sequence, so that the MPS signal handlers
	get installed after our signal handlers.  This is needed
	because our signal handlers assume that any signals that
	they can't handle are fatal errors, which interfere's
	with MPS's use of signal handlers for memory barriers.

runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
	Add code to initialize the MPS collector.
	Put code which is specific to the Boehm collector inside
	#ifdef MR_BOEHM_GC rather than #ifdef MR_CONSERVATIVE_GC.

runtime/mercury_wrapper.h:
	Update a comment.

bac4b47f2a Harmonize the treatment of the builtin types by the runtime system across
Estimated hours taken: 36
Branches: main

Harmonize the treatment of the builtin types by the runtime system across
the MLDS and LLDS C backends. (Their treatment by the .NET and Java backends
is unchanged, at least for now.)

Previously, the RTTI data structures and unify and compare predicates for the
builtin types were defined in runtime/mercury.c for the MLDS backend but in
library/{builtin,private_builtin,type_desc}.m for the LLDS backend. This
make several kinds of maintenance difficult, and more likely to be forgotten.
The two backends also had their generic unify/compare code in different modules
(mercury.c and mercuy_ho_call.c) and used distinct macros for defining RTTI
data structures. This change fixes those problems by defining a consistent
set of macros (with backend-specific implementations but backend-independent
semantics), concentrating the definitions of all the RTTI structures and of all
the unify and compare predicates for builtin types in a new module in the
runtime, mercury_builtin_types.[ch], and concentrating all the generic
unify/compare predicates in mercury_ho_call.[ch].

This change also makes the runtime use consistently module qualified names
for the RTTI data structures for the builtin types. Since they are not module
qualified by the Mercury compiler, we module qualify them by macros that map
the mmc-generated names to the ones expected by the runtime system. This makes
it easier to use the same macros in LLDS and MLDS grades.

runtime/mercury_builtin_types.[ch]:
	New module to contain all the C code for the implementation of
	unify and compare predicates for the builtin types. Its contents
	comes from mercury.c in the runtime (for the MLDS C backend) and
	builtin.m, private_builtin.m and type_desc.m in the library (for the
	LLDS C backend).

	The unify/compare predicates for tuples now report errors. This is
	necessary because the tuple is a variable arity constructor. Their
	previous implementations for the MLDS backend relied on only being
	called from the generic unify/compare routines with a nonstandard
	interface, being passed a typeinfo for the tuple type, rather than
	the typeinfos for the arguments of the type constructor. This worked
	because we don't currently specialize unifies/compares of tuple types,
	but was a potential problem if we ever started to do such
	specialization. The fix is to handle tuples in the generic
	unify/compare routines, just as in the LLDS backend.

runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
	Move the generic unify/compare routines for the MLDS backend here
	from mercury.c.

	Conform to the coding standard wrt indentation.

runtime/mercury_ho_call.h:
	Declare the generic unify/compare routines for both backends.

	Delete a typedef that now needs to be in mercury_types.h to avoid
	circular dependencies.

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Use the same macros for defining type_ctor_info structures for the MLDS
	and LLDS backends.

	This required moving the definitions of MR_UnifyFunc_N and
	MR_CompareFunc_N here from mercury.c.

runtime/mercury_hlc_types.h:
	A new file containing definitions of types needed by the MLDS C
	backend. These definitions used to be in mercury.h, but now they are
	needed in mercury_type_info.h, a header file that doesn't and shouldn't
	include mercury.h. They can't easily be put in mercury_types.h because
	they depend on mercury_std.h, and we are not allowed to include
	mercury_std.h in mercury_types.h.

runtime/mercury.h:
	Delete the definitions of the C types representing type_info and
	pseudo_type_infos, since these are now in mercury_type_info.h.
	#include mercury_type_info.h.

	Delete the definitions now in mercury_hlc_types.h.

runtime/mercury.c:
	Delete the definitions of the C types representing unify and compare
	predicates, since these are now in mercury_type_info.h.

runtime/mercury_bootstrap.h:
	Module qualify the RTTI data structures of the builtin types, since
	it makes it easier to use the same macros to define RTTI structures
	in the LLDS and MLDS backend. (Previously, mercury_bootstrap.h had
	macros to delete such module qualification for the variable arity
	types.)

runtime/mercury_types.h:
	Move some type definitions from mercury_ho_call.h and
	mercury_deep_profiling.h to mercury_types.h to prevent problems
	with circular dependencies between header files.

runtime/mercury_debug.h:
	Delete a #include to prevent a circular dependency.

runtime/mercury_profiling_builtin.[ch]:
	A new module containing the {call,exit,redo,fail} port predicates
	for deep profiling, moved here from library/profiling_builtin.m.
	They are referred to by the implementations of the unify and compare
	predicates of builtin types, and thus they need to be in the runtime
	directory to avoid references from the runtime to the library.

runtime/Mmakefile:
	Add the new files.

tools/make_port_code:
	A script to generate runtime/mercury_profiling_builtin.[ch] fully
	automatically.

library/array.m:
	Use the new backend-independent macros to reduce the amount of code
	that was duplicated for the two backends.

library/builtin.m:
library/private_builtin.m:
library/type_desc.m:
	Delete RTTI structures and unify and compare predicates
	that are now in runtime/mercury_builtin_types.c.

library/profiling_builtin.m:
	Replace the definitions of the predicates implementing the
	{call,exit,redo,fail} port predicates with external declarations.

trace/mercury_trace_vars.c:
	Use a now backend-independent macro to refer to a type_ctor_info.

trace/Mmakefile:
	Do not define MERCURY_BOOTSTRAP_H, since mercury_bootstrap.h now
	contains some definitions needed by code in the trace directory.
	Replace it with MR_NO_BACKWARDS_COMPAT.

util/mkinit.c:
	Module qualify the references to the RTTI structures of builtin types,
	since the generated _init.c files don't include mercury_bootstrap.h.
	Note that after this change has bootstrapped, we should be able to
	delete those references, since they were only needed to give the
	runtime access to the addresses of RTTI structures that used to be
	defined in the library, but are now defined in the runtime.

404abb0c57 Another step towards RTTI in Mercury.
Estimated hours taken: 32
Branches: main

Another step towards RTTI in Mercury.

This step redefines the representation of type_ctor_infos inside the compiler
to be identical to the representation we will need for efficient interpretation
of RTTI data structures in Mercury, following on from an earlier step which
did the same for (pseudo)typeinfos.

Instead of the type_ctor_info being broken down into its components in
type_ctor_info.m, the breakdown process is now performed in rtti_out.m (for the
LLDS backend) and rtti_to_mlds.m (for the MLDS backend). Eventually, the IL and
Java backends will stop using rtti_to_mlds.m for this purpose, and will instead
write out the type_ctor_data structures as static data to be interpreted
directly.

We now predefine the C types representing type_info and pseudo_type_infos
for types of arity up to 20 for the LLDS C backend as well as for the
MLDS C backend. The LLDS backend can define them for higher arities
on demand; the MLDS backend (for now) still cannot.

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	To be able to represent all the kinds of types we now support

	- add a data structure for converting values of reserved_addr types
	  from their printable representation to their internal representation
	  (it was previously missing), and

	- add a type_ctor_rep to represent foreign types.

	Add missing MR_ prefixes on some field names.

	Add typedefs for all the types that the rtti_names can refer to.
	There were already such typedefs in runtime/mercury.h for the MLDS
	grades, we now have them for the LLDS grades too.

	Predefine the C types representing type_info and pseudo_type_infos
	for types of arity up to 20. There were already such typedefs in
	runtime/mercury.h for the MLDS grades, we now have them for the
	LLDS grades too.

runtime/mercury.h:
	Delete the typedefs that are now in mercury_type_info.h.

runtime/mercury.h:
	Delete the definitions of the C types representing type_info and
	pseudo_type_infos, since these are now in mercury_type_info.h.
	#include mercury_type_info.h.

compiler/rtti.m:
	Add new, purely Mercury data structures for representing
	type_ctor_infos and their components, designed both for efficient
	interpretation and as a source for the generation of static data
	structures in C.

	This entailed deleting most of the alternatives of the rtti_data type
	while preserving their rtti_name equivalents; the deleted alternatives
	represent tables are no longer created in type_ctor_info.m but which
	are created dynamically in rtti_out.m and rtti_to_mlds.m (which need
	a way for one table to refer to another).

	Centralize the correspondence between rtti_names and the C and Java
	types of the corresponding structures (the C and Java names differ in
	prefixes only). Among other things, this remove the double maintenance
	problem we have previously with the LLDS and MLDS backends maintaining
	their own maps of the correspondence.

	Add utility predicates on the new data structures for use by both
	rtti_out.m and rtti_to_mlds.m.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Always store the ids of unification and comparison procedures in
	type_ctor_gen_infos, to simplify their handling.

	Generate the new data structures for representing type_ctor_infos.

	Conform to the changed data structures for type_ctor_gen_infos.

compiler/rtti_out.m:
compiler/rtti_to_mlds.m:
	Rewrite substantial parts of these modules to convert the new data
	structures for representing type_ctor_infos to sets of discrete
	structures dynamically.

	Most of the dynamically created structures are unique by construction,
	but this is not true for typeinfos and pseudo-typeinfos. Therefore
	add mechanisms to ensure that we don't generate redundant structures
	representing typeinfos and pseudo-typeinfos.

43fbf4b956 A step towards RTTI in Mercury.
Estimated hours taken: 40
Branches: main

A step towards RTTI in Mercury.

This step redefines the representation of pseudo-typeinfos inside the compiler
to be identical to the representation we will need for efficient interpretation
of RTTI data structures in Mercury. Later steps will do likewise for
typectorinfos. In the end, we will have two implementations of RTTI:
the current low-level, very efficient one written in C, which will be used
by the C backends (both LLDS and MLDS), and a new, higher-level one
which will use Mercury data structures and Mercury predicates for
interpretation (along the lines of library/rtti_implementation.m)
for the Java and IL backends.

A large part of this change concerns the fact that pseudo-typeinfos can now
contain typeinfos as well as other pseudo-typeinfos, and they do in the
frequent case that the type of an argument is ground. Given that typeinfos
are just special cases of pseudo-typeinfos, the code for handling the two
types is usually similar, with common code factored out when relevant.

In the process of redesigning the data structures concerning (pseudo-)
typeinfos, I also fixed an old naming scheme that has become misleading.
The representation of a (pseudo-) typeinfo depends on whether the principal
type constructor is fixed arity or not. We used to denote this distinction
with the phrases first-order vs higher-order, since at first the only variable
arity type constructors were pred and func. However, this hasn't been true
since we added tuples. I have changed the naming scheme to be fixed-arity vs
variable-arity.

compiler/rtti.m:
	Add new, purely Mercury data structures for representing typeinfos
	and pseudo-typeinfos, designed both for efficient interpretation
	and as a source for the generation of static data structures in C.

compiler/pseudo_type_info.m:
	Delete the type definitions here, since they are superseded by the new
	definitions in rtti.m.

	Add predicates for constructing typeinfos as well as pseudo-typeinfos,
	since now we need those too.

	Conform to the changed data structures for (pseudo-) typeinfos.

compiler/mlds.m:
	Since the MLDS now refers to type_infos, add their type
	(mlds__type_info_type) to the list of types the MLDS knows about.

compiler/ml_code_util.m:
compiler/mlds_to_c.m:
compiler/mlds_to_il.m:
compiler/mlds_to_java.m:
	Handle mlds__type_info_type.

compiler/mlds_to_gcc.m:
	Conform to the changed data structures for (pseudo-) typeinfos,
	and handle mlds__type_info_type.

runtime/mercury_bootstrap.h:
	Override the compiler-generated names of the type_ctor_infos of the
	variable arity type constructors. The MLDS backend requires these
	to be module qualified; the LLDS backend requires them to be
	unqualified. This is a problem because the same code now generates
	the compiler's internal representation of pseudo-typeinfos for both
	backends.

	The temporary solution is to have the compiler generate these names
	module qualified, and have these macros convert them to the unqualified
	form. (The long term solution should be to always module qualify
	everything, but doing that is for another change.)

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Change the naming scheme from first order vs higher order to fixed
	arity vs variable arity.

Estimated hours taken: 40
Branches: main

Fix the RTTI of type_descs and type_ctor_descs. Make comparisons between
type_ctor_descs and type_ctor_infos (and therefore between type_descs and
type_infos) more predictable and consistent across backends by basing them
on programmer-visible attributes instead of accident of location in the
executable.

runtime/mercury_type_desc.[ch]:
	Implement unification and comparison functions for type_ctor_descs.
	(The unification and comparison functions for type_infos also double
	as the unification and comparison functions for type_descs.)

	Make the comparison function work on the module name, type name and
	arity instead of the address of the type_ctor_info structure. This
	ensures consistency across back ends.

	Add some useful macros.

runtime/mercury_type_info.[ch]:
	Make the comparison function on type_ctor_infos also work on module
	name, type name and arity. Since this makes comparison slower, add
	specialized unification functions for type_infos and type_ctor_infos.

	of type_infos, since type_descs and type_infos share the same
	representation at the moment. However, we add a new one because
	profiling cares about the conceptual distinction between type_infos
	and type_descs.

	Delete the Mercury "definition" of type_desc, because it is misleading.

2b559ad054 Move the RTTI-related parts of std_util.m to three new modules in the standard
Estimated hours taken: 8
Branches: main

Move the RTTI-related parts of std_util.m to three new modules in the standard
library, and (in the case of embedded C code) to new modules in the runtime.
The main reason for this is to allow a reorganization of some of the
RTTi-related functionality without breaking backward compatibility. However,
the new arrangement should also be easier to maintain.

Use a separate type_ctor_rep for functions, to distinguish them from predicates
for RTTI code. (At one point, I thought this could avoid the need for the
change to the initialization files mentioned below. It can't, but it is a good
idea in any case.)

library/std_util.m:
	Remove the functionality moved to the new modules, and replace them
	with type equivalences and forwarding code. There are no changes in
	the meanings of the user-visible predicates, with two exceptions.

	- First, the true, equivalence-expanded names of what used to be
	  std_util:type_desc and std_util:type_ctor_desc are now
	  type_desc:type_desc and type_desc: type_ctor_desc.
	- Second, deconstructing a function term now yields
	  "<<function>>" instead of "<<predicate>>".

	The intention is that the RTTI predicates in std_util.m will continue
	to work in a backwards-compatible manner for the near future, i.e. as
	the new modules are updated, the code in std_util will be updated to
	maintain the same functionality, modulo improvements such as avoiding
	unwanted exceptions. When the RTTI functionality in the other modules
	has stabilised, the RTTI predicates in std_util.m should be marked
	obsolete.

	The exported but non-documented functionality of std_util has been
	moved to one of the new modules without forwarding code, with one
	of the moved predicates being turned into the function it should have
	been in the first place.

library/construct.m:
library/deconstruct.m:
library/type_desc.m:
	Three new modules for the code moved from std_util.m.

library/library.m:
compiler/modules.m:
	Record the names of the three new library modules.

runtime/mercury.[ch]:
compiler/mlds_to_il.m:
	Record that type_desc is now in type_desc.m, not std_util.m.

compiler/static_term.m:
	Import the deconstruct module, since we are using its undocumented
	facilities.

runtime/Mmakefile:
	Mention the two new modules.

runtime/mercury_construct.[ch]:
runtime/mercury_type_desc.[ch]:
	Two new modules holding the C functions that used to be in foreign_code
	in std_util, now using MR_ instead of ML_ prefixes, and being more
	consistent about indentation.

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Add a new type_ctor_rep for functions, separate from predicates.
	(It reuses the EQUIV_VAR type_ctor_rep, which hasn't been used
	in ages.)

	Use type_ctor_reps to distinguish between the type_ctor_infos of
	pred/0 and func/0. However, to create higher order typeinfos, we
	still need to know the addresses of the type_ctor_infos for
	pred/0 and func/0, and we still need to know the address of the
	type_ctor_info for tuples to create typeinfos for tuples. Since
	these three type_ctor_infos are defined in the library,
	we cannot access them directly from the runtime. We therefore need
	to access them indirectly in the usual manner, via address_of
	variables initialized by mkinit-generated code.

	Fill in these three variables.

	modules. The test cases have not changed, with the exception of the :-
	module declaration of course.

tests/general/accumulator/Mmakefile:
tests/general/accumulator/INTRODUCED:
tests/hard_coded/Mmakefile:
	Record the name changes.

tests/hard_coded/existential_float.exp:
	Updated the expected output to reflect that deconstructions now print
	"<<function>>" instead of "<<predicate>>" when appropriate.

tests/hard_coded/higher_order_type_manip.exp:
	Updated the expected output to reflect the new name of what used to be
	std_util:type_desc.

	#include type_desc.h instead of std_util.h, since the C functions
	we want to call are now defined there.

	Update to account for the movement of type_desc from std_util to
	type_desc, and ensure that we don't refer to any type_ctor_infos
	in MLDS grades.
