5d9a63ac57 Add ops for creating and accessing 64 bit ints as dwords.
runtime/mercury_int.h:
    Add macros to create double-word int64s/uint64s from two words,
    and to access each word of a double-word int64 or uint64.

    Put the int64 and uint64 versions of the same macro next to each other.

    Add parentheses where this clarifies code.

runtime/mercury_float.h:
    Note the parallel to the new code in mercury_int.h.

    Add comments to #elses and #endifs that repeat the condition of the
    initial #if, to make the code easier to read.

    Put macro definitions into a consistent order.

    Use lower-case names for macro parameters, since this is standard.

    Add parentheses where this clarifies code.

    Delete a macro definition that is now in mercury_std.h.

runtime/mercury_std.h:
    Move a macro here from mercury_float.h, since mercury_int.h now
    uses it too.

runtime/mercury_memory.h:
    Improve some comments.

compiler/builtin_ops.m:
    Add operations to create double-word int64s/uint64s from two words,
    and to access each word of a double-word int64 or uint64.
    These correspond to the new macros in mercury_int.h.
    The new operations are not used yet.

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.

    Add the new option --unboxed-int64s.

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.

5aa9c952ae Add missing MR_GC_malloc_atomic procedure
In the runtime system we create wrappers for a number of procedures from the

procedures.

6ecc12e619 Add support for weak pointers to the C RTS
A weak pointer (aka weak reference) is a pointer to some garbage collector
(GC) allocated object or memory that is not considered by the GC when
deciding if the object is garbage or not.  Additionally, if the object is
reclaimed by the GC the GC will zero-out this pointer so that other code can
test if this object is still available.  Weak pointer can be useful when
implementing caches or cyclic data structures (my motivation for this
change).

This change introduces a weak pointer type (a typedef) in Mercury's runtime
system for the C backends.  Two macros are provided to create and deference
these weak pointers.  Extra documentation, and constraints on how these can
be used are described in mercury_memory.h.

runtime/mercury_memory.c:
runtime/mercury_memory.h:
    As above.

    Expected output for the test.  This isn't the real program's output.
    weak_ptr's output is too volatile to use reliably (see weak_ptr.m).

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)

	These should be used in preferences to the raw memory allocation
	functions wherever possible so that objects do not show up in the

	Add analogues of realloc/free which take into account the offset

Estimated hours taken: 0.5
Branches: main

Add an interface to the Boehm collectors finalisation mechanism to the
Mercury runtime.  Mercury bindings to C libraries sometimes
require this facility in order to reclaim memory when some of the
memory is under the control of an external library.
Since we may support alternative garbage collectors in the future, it
is preferable that the Mercury runtime provide this facility rather
than user code directly calling the code in Boehm.

runtime/mercury_memory.h:
	Add a wrapper macro for GC_REGISTER_FINALIZER.

ecf1ee3117 Add a mechanism for growing the stacks on demand by adding new segments
Estimated hours taken: 20
Branches: main

Add a mechanism for growing the stacks on demand by adding new segments
to them. You can ask for the new mechanism via a new grade component, stseg
(short for "stack segments").

The mechanism works by adding a test to each increment of a stack pointer (sp
or maxfr). If the test indicates that we are about to run out of stack, we
allocate a new stack segment, allocate a placeholder frame on the new segment,
and then allocate the frame we wanted in the first place on top of the
placeholder. We also override succip to make it point code that will (1)
release the new segment when the newly created stack frame returns, and then
(2) go to the place indicated by the original, overridden succip.

For leaf procedures on the det stack, we optimize away the check of the stack
pointer. We can do this because we reserve some space on each stack for the
use of such stack frames.

My intention is that doc/user_guide.texi and NEWS will be updated once we have
used the feature ourselves for a while and it seems to be stable.

runtime/mercury_grade.h:
	Add the new grade component.

runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
	Document the new grade component, and the option used to debug stack
	segments.

	Set it when a zone is allocated.

	Restore the previous #ifdef'd out function MR_unget_zone, for use

runtime/mercury_debug.[ch]:
	When printing the offsets of pointers into the det and nondet stacks,
	print the number of the segment the pointer points into (unless it is
	the first, in which case we suppress this in the interest of brevity
	and simplicity).

	Make all the functions in this module take a FILE * as an input
	argument; don't print to stdout by default.

runtime/mercury_stacks.[ch]:
	Modify the macros that allocate stack frames to invoke the code for
	adding new stack segments when we are about to run out of stack.

	(This was a devil to track down, because neither make --debug nor
	strace on make revealed how the installed ml was being invoked,
	and there was no explicit invocation in the Makefile either; the error
	message appeared to come out of thin air just before the completion
	of the stage 2 library. It turned out the invocation happened
	implicitly, as a result of expanding a make variable.)

library/robdd.m:
	Add this module, which provides a Mercury interface to the C code in

	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

	a var_supply.

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

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,

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:

	`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'.

compiler/compile_target_code.m:
	Pass the appropriate C defines for the new GC methods.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Wrap the work-around for a Boehm GC bug inside `#ifndef MR_MPS_GC'.

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:
runtime/mercury_heap.h:
runtime/mercury_init.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_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.

db64a3588d Add MR_ prefixes to the types used when generating C code.
Estimated hours taken: 4

Add MR_ prefixes to the types used when generating C code.
This means types such as Word, String, Bool, Float become MR_Word,
MR_String, MR_Bool, MR_Float.  Also define MR_Box for both the LLDS and
MLDS backends so we can use it uniformly.

This is very important in environments where String or Bool have already
been used as system types (for example, managed C++).  And besides, we
should do it anyway as part of the grand namespace cleanup.

I have fixed all of the uses of the non-prefixed types in the runtime
and trace directories.  I haven't done it for the library and compiler
directories yet (no promises that I will do it in future either).  But
if you see a non-prefixed type in code from now on, please consider it a
bug and fix it.

mercury_bootstrap.h contains #defines to map the non-prefixed types into
the prefixed ones.  Like many of the other namespace cleaning backwards
compatibility macros, this can be turned off with
MR_NO_BACKWARDS_COMPAT.

This shouldn't break any code, but this kind of change affects so many
things that of course there could be problems lurking in there somewhere.

If you start getting errors from the C compiler after this change is
installed, you will want to make sure you at least have the runtime
system updated so that you are getting the backwards compatibility
definitions in mercury_bootstrap.h.  Then if you continue to have
problems you can bug me about it.

Various bug fixes and cleanups for the code in the runtime directory.

runtime/mercury_bootstrap.h:
runtime/mercury_regs.h:
runtime/mercury_stacks.h:
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Move #defines that are there just for backwards compatibility
	into mercury_bootstrap.h.

runtime/process_getopt:
	Add MR_ prefixes to the names `_GETOPT_H', `no_arguments',
	and `required_argument' which are defined by mercury_getopt.h,
	to make mercury_getopt.h macro-namespace-clean.

runtime/mercury_getopt.h:
	Apply the new version of the process_getopt script.

runtime/mercury_imp.h:
	Make mercury_bootstrap the first header file that is #included,
	in case some of the macros defined in it are used in declarations
	in other header files.

runtime/mercury_memory.h:
	Delete duplicate definitions of MAX_REAL_REG, NUM_SPECIAL_REG,
	and MAX_VIRTUAL_REG -- these are all already defined in
	mercury_memory_zones.h.

runtime/mercury_memory_zones.h:
	Delete definition of NUM_SPECIAL_REG, since mercury_regorder.h
	already defines MR_NUM_SPECIAL_REG, which should be used instead
	of NUM_SPECIAL_REG.  The value of NUM_SPECIAL_REG was long
	obsolete.

runtime/mercury_regorder.h:
	Fix some bugs in the definition of MR_min_sol_hp_rec -- it was
	using `mr40', which is undefined, instead of `mr(40)'.
	Also add some comments.

runtime/mercury_regs.h:
	Fix a bug: use MR_NUM_SPECIAL_REGS instead of NUM_SPECIAL_REGS.
	Note that this bug fix unfortunately breaks backwards compatibility,
	at least for procedures with more than 32 arguments, since it
	affects the mapping from r(N) to the fake_reg array.
	However, there was no alternative, since the old mapping was
	broken: for example, the old mapping used the same fake_reg
	slot for both r(41) and MR_global_hp.

runtime/mercury_bootstrap.h:
	Change MR_GRADE_PART_0 from `redofr' to `v1', and document that
	that part of the grade is a binary compatibility version number.
	The reason for changing the grade is to ensure that the change
	in binary backwards compatibility resulting from the changes
	to runtime/mercury_regs.h will cause link errors rather
	than just random behaviour for procedures with >32 arguments.

runtime/mercury_agc_debug.c:
	Use MR_NUM_SPECIAL_REGS instead of NUM_SPECIAL_REGS.
	Also add some XXX comments, since all of the places where
	NUM_SPECIAL_REGS was used are broken anyway -- they should be
	using MAX_FAKE_REG instead of MAX_REAL_REG + NUM_SPECIAL_REG.
	But I think the current definition is put there for efficiency,
	even though it's known to be broken for procedures with >32
	arguments, so I didn't change the code to use MAX_FAKE_REG.

376f2c69af An initial implementation of the accurate garbage collector.
Estimated hours taken: 90

An initial implementation of the accurate garbage collector.

WORK_IN_PROGRESS:
	Add an entry for the accurate garbage collector.

library/builtin.m:
library/mercury_builtin.m:
library/std_util.m:
runtime/mercury_tabling.h:
	Deep copy terms using the address of the value instead of
	just the value.

library/io.m:
	Initialize the garbage collector's rootset with the globals.

runtime/Mmakefile:
	Add new files to the Mmakefile.

runtime/mercury_accurate_gc.h:
runtime/mercury_accurate_gc.c:
	The new garbage collector.

runtime/mercury_agc_debug.c:
runtime/mercury_agc_debug.h:
	Debugging utilities for the new garbage collector.

runtime/mercury_deep_copy.c:
runtime/mercury_deep_copy.h:
runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h:
	Put the deep copy code in mercury_deep_copy_body.h, and #include
	it with appropriate #defines in order to get a variant for
	deep_copy(), and one for agc_deep_copy().

	agc_deep_copy() forwards pointers as it copies.

	Also, deep_copy (all variants) have been modified to take
	a pointer to the data to be copied, because some variants
	need to be able to modify it.

runtime/mercury_engine.c:
runtime/mercury_engine.h:
	Add a second heap_zone which is the to-space of
	the copying collector.
	Add a debug_heap_zone, which is used as a scratch
	heap for debugging.

runtime/mercury_label.c:
	Instead of
		realloc(entry_table, ....)
	do
		entry_table = realloc(entry_table, ....)
	to avoid horrible bugs.

	Also, make sure the tables get initialized before looking up
	an entry label.

runtime/mercury_imp.h:
	Include mercury_debug.h before most of the modules.
	(mercury_engine.h adds a new MemoryZone only if we are
	debugging accurate GC).

runtime/mercury_memory.c:
	Setup the debug_memory_zone sizes.
	Remove an unnecessary prototype.

runtime/mercury_memory_handlers.c:
	Add code to get the program counter and the stack pointer
	from the signal context.

	Call MR_schedule_agc() from default_handler() if doing accurate gc.

runtime/mercury_memory_zones.c:
	Setup the hardzone regardless of whether redzones are used.

	Add some more debugging information.

runtime/mercury_regorder.h:
runtime/machdeps/alpha_regs.h:
runtime/machdeps/i386_regs.h:
	Add definitions to make the real machine registers name/number
	for MR_sp available.

runtime/mercury_trace_internal.c:
runtime/mercury_trace_util.c:
runtime/mercury_trace_util.h:
	Add MR_trace_write_variable(), which writes terms given their
	value and type_info.

runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
runtime/mercury_wrapper.h:
	Change the size of the heap redzone when doing accurate GC.
	Use a small heap when debugging agc.

runtime/mercury_debug.h:
runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
	Add new debugging macros and document them.

runtime/mercury_type_info.c:
	Add const to the pointer arguments of MR_make_type_info.

                and abstractly unifies them.
        add unify_instmap_delta which tajes two instmap deltas
                and abstractly unifies them.

        Add init_thread_stuff for creating and initializing a
        context structure for the current thread.

runtime/mercury_context.h:
        add a field to the mercury context which stores the thread id
        of the thread where this context originated.

c315607690 Clean up the handling of configuration macros in the runtime.
Estimated hours taken: 4

Clean up the handling of configuration macros in the runtime.

runtime/mercury_conf.h.in:
runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
	Move the code to set configuration parameters based on
	the values of other configuration parameters from
	mercury_conf.h.in to a new file mercury_conf_param.h,
	because otherwise autoconf munges the code in undesirable ways
	(it replaces all `#undef <foo>' statements with `/* #undef <foo> */').

runtime/mercury_conf.h.in:
runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
runtime/*.h:
runtime/*.c:
	Use more meaningful names, starting with the usual `MR_' prefix,
	for various configuration parameters:
		- replace the existing configuration macros SPEED with
		  three new macros MR_CHECK_OVERFLOW, MR_LOWLEVEL_DEBUG,
		  and MR_DEBUG_NONDET_STACK;
		- rename DEBUG_GOTOS as MR_DEBUG_GOTOS, and make it
		  implied by MR_LOWLEVEL_DEBUG;
		- rename DEBUG_LABELS as MR_CHOOSE_ENTRY_POINT.

	(But there are still many configuration parameters that don't
	start with `MR_', I'm afraid.)

runtime/CFLAGSFILE:
runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
	Removed CFLAGSFILE.  The documentation there was had rotted badly.
	I moved most of it to mercury_conf_param.h where hopefully
	it will stand a better chance of being kept up-to-date.
	I added documentation for the configuration parameters added in
	the last year or so.  The documentation here now covers
	every configuration parameter that we use; please keep it that way!

runtime/mercury_debug.h:
	Fix a bug: there was a misplaced "#endif".

runtime/mercury_stack_trace.c:
	Fix yet another misspelling of "deterministic".

7ce7d489a2 Cleaned up runtime directory.
Estimated hours taken: 2

Cleaned up runtime directory.

runtime/*.c:
	- Renamed all .c files as mercury_*.c
	  Some have been renamed to make their purpose clearer.
	  	call.mod -> mercury_ho_call.c

runtime/*.h:
	- Moved contents of .h files to mercury_*.h
	- *.h now contain #include mercury_*.h. They be removed later.
	- Updated references to conf.h -> mercury_conf.h

runtime/conf.h.in:
	- Renamed conf.h.in as mercury_conf.h.in.
	  Didn't leave a forwarding header for this one, as conf.h was
	  never part of the repository anyway.

runtime/Mmakefile:
	- Convert lists to one-per-line lists.
	- Add mercury_accurate_gc.h to HDRS.
	- Remove all .mod files
	- Make sure runtime.init uses the ORIG_CS not MOD_CS.
	- Fix the rules for "clean_o" and "clean_mod_c", which used
	  wildcards like "*.o" to remove files.  The one that removed
	  all .c files corresponding with *.mod, instead of using MOD_CS
	  was particularly vicious.
	- Cope with the file renamings.

configure.in:
	- Cope with the file renamings.
