New module to perform the program transformations described in the
paper.
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
Document the new compiler module.

When creating a name for a higher-order-specialized predicate, include
the mode number in the name.
compiler/add_trail_ops.m:
compiler/type_util.m:

used by deep_profiling.m.
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
Add a new goal feature that marks a tail call, for use by
deep_profiling.m.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
Add a new field to proc_info structures for use by deep_profiling.m.

compiler/llds_out.m:
compiler/layout.m:
compiler/modules.m:
Add support for a fourth per-module C function, for writing out
proc_static structures (and the call_site_static structures they
contains).
Since proc_static structures can be referred to from LLDS code (and not
just from other static structures and compiler-generated C code),
reorganize the declarations of static structures slightly.
Change the schema for the name of the first per-module C function
slightly, to make it the addition of the fourth function easier.
The scheme now is:
mercury__<modulename>__init
mercury__<modulename>__init_type_tables
mercury__<modulename>__init_debugger
mercury__<modulename>__write_out_proc_statics
Improve formatting of the generated C code.

and the compiler option --profile-time.
library/array.m:
library/builtin.m:
library/std_util.m:
runtime/mercury_hand_unify_body.h:
runtime/mercury_hand_compare_body.h:
In deep profiling grades, wrap the deep profiling call, exit, fail
and redo codes around the bodies of hand-written unification
and comparison procedures.
Make the reporting of array bounds violations switchable between
making them fatal errors, as we currently, and reporting them by
throwing an exception. Throwing an exception makes debugging code
using arrays easier, but since exceptions aren't (yet) propagated
across engine boundaries, we keep the old behaviour as the default;
the new behaviour is for implementors.
runtime/mercury_deep_profiling_hand.h:
New file that defines macros for use in Mercury predicates whose
definition is in hand-written C code.

runtime/mercury_prof.[ch]:
runtime/mercury_prof_time.[ch]:

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]:

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.
Estimated hours taken: 16
Add some Mmake rules to the runtime and some code to tools/bootcheck
so that we automatically check that the namespace remains clean.
Also add some `MR_' prefixes that Zoltan missed in his earlier change.
tools/bootcheck:
Add an option, which is enabled by default, to
build the check_namespace target in the runtime.
runtime/RESERVED_MACRO_NAMES:
New file. Contains a list of the macros names that
don't start with `MR_' or the like.
runtime/Mmakefile:
Change the rule for `check_headers' so that it checks for macros
that don't occur in the RESERVED_MACRO_NAMES files, as well as not
starting with `MR_' prefixes, and reports errors for such macros.
Also add a rule for check_objs that checks whether the object
files define any global symbols that don't have the right prefixes,
and a rule `check_namespace' that does both of the above.
runtime/mercury_bootstrap.h:
#include "mercury_types.h" and "mercury_float.h",
to ensure that this header file is self-contained.
Also make sure that all the old names are disabled if you
compile with `-DMR_NO_BACKWARDS_COMPAT'.
runtime/mercury_context.c:
runtime/mercury_thread.h:
runtime/mercury_thread.c:
Use `bool' rather than `MR_Bool' for the argument to
MR_check_pending_contexts() and the return type of
MR_init_thread(), since these are C bools, not Mercury
bools, and there's no requirement that they have the
same size as MR_Integer.

Make everything in the runtime use MR_ prefixes, and make the compiler
bootstrap with -DMR_NO_BACKWARDS_COMPAT.
runtime/mercury_*.[ch]
Add MR_ prefixes to all functions, global variables and almost all
macros that could pollute the namespace. The (intentional) exceptions
are
1. some function, variable, type and label names that already start
with MR_, mercury_, Mercury or _entry;
2. some standard C macros in mercury_std.h;
3. the macros used in autoconfiguration (since they are used in scripts
as well as the runtime, the MR_ prefix may not be appropriate for
those).
In some cases, I deleted things instead of adding prefixes
if the "things" were obsolete and not user visible.
runtime/mercury_bootstrap.h:
Provide MR_-less forms of the macros for bootstrapping and for
backward compatibility for user code.
runtime/mercury_debug.[ch]:
Add a FILE * parameter to a function that needs it.

Add MR_ prefixes as necessary.
extras/concurrency/semaphore.m:
Add MR_ prefixes as necessary.

Fix some bugs in my previous change to profiling for do_call_closure
and do_call_class_method.
runtime/mercury_calls.h:
Change the definition of the noprof_* macros
so that they don't do any of the profiling work.
Previous the noprof_* macros omitted the PROFILE() call,
but contrary to their names, they _did_ include the
set_prof_current_proc() call. I've moved those calls to
set_prof_current_proc() into the ordinary (not noprof_)
versions.
This change is needed because my earlier change to
compiler/llds_out.m and runtime/mercury_ho_call.c was assuming
it -- without this change, time spent in do_call_closure would
get credited to do_call_closure rather than the caller.
runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
Add a call to set_prof_current_proc(program_entry_point).
This is needed now that noprof_call() doesn't do that.
Furthermore it should be done before enabling profiling,
otherwise there is a small window during which a profiling
interrupt might occur before set_prof_current_proc() has been
called.
runtime/mercury_prof.h:
runtime/mercury_prof.c:
Add global var `MR_prof_ho_caller_proc' and macro
MR_prof_set_ho_caller_proc().
compiler/llds_out.m:
Call MR_prof_set_ho_caller_proc() before calling
do_call_closure or do_call_class_method.
runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
Fix an XXX: pass MR_prof_ho_caller_proc rather than
MR_prof_current_proc, since the former is meaningful even
when PROFILE_TIME is not defined (e.g. for memory profiling),
and since as described above MR_prof_current_proc is not
longer set by noprof_call().
Estimated hours taken: 0.5
Refactor the code which closes the `Prof.Decl' file.
This fixes the bug where fclose was being called twice to close
`Prof.Decl'.
mercury_prof.h:
runtime/mercury_prof.c:
Add a new function MR_close_prof_decl_file which closes the
`Prof.Decl' file.
No longer close `Prof.Decl' from MR_prof_finish.
mercury_wrapper.c:
Call MR_close_prof_decl_file() from do_init_modules().
Estimated hours taken: 0.1
runtime/mercury_prof.h:
Readd the extern declartion of MR_prof_current_proc. It which was
accidently deleted in the great runtime rename.
Estimated hours taken: 1
Get time profiling working for the MLDS backend.
compiler/mlds_to_c.m:
If time profiling is turned on output an instruction to record which
procedure we are in at the start of each procedure and any reentry
points to the procedure.
runtime/mercury.h:
Include the correct header files when time profiling is enabled.
runtime/mercury_prof.h:
Define MR_set_prof_current_proc.
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.
compiler/export.m:
compiler/llds_out.m:
compiler/mlds_to_c.m:
Use MR_Word, MR_Float, MR_Bool, etc when generating C.
doc/reference_manual.texi:
Update the reference manual to talk about MR_Word, MR_String,
MR_Char, etc.
runtime/mercury_bootstrap.h:
Add bootstrapping typedefs.

trace/*:
Change Word, Float, Bool, Code, String, etc to
MR_Word, MR_Float, MR_Bool, MR_Code, MR_String.

Bootstrap in the grade hlc.gc.memprof.
To analyse the generated Prof.* files you need to supply the option
--no-demangle to the profiler.
compiler/ml_code_gen.m:
Define MR_PROC_LABEL in pragma c_code.
compiler/mlds.m:
Add a new alternative to the type target_code_component which
records a mlds_entity_name. This information is needed when
outputing the MR_PROC_LABEL #define.
compiler/ml_elim_nested.m:
Changes due to the change to the type target_code_component.
compiler/mlds_to_c.m:
Define a new predicate mlds_maybe_output_init_fn which outputs an
initialisation function, if necessary. This body of the
initialisation function consists of calls to init_entry for each
function in the src module.
If profiling is turned on at each function call: call
MR_prof_call_profile(callee, caller) to record the arc in the call
graph.
If profiling is turned on each heap allocation call
MR_maybe_record_allocation().
Changes due to the change to the type target_code_component.
library/array.m:
library/builtin.m:
library/exception.m:
library/private_builtin.m:
library/std_util.m:
As c2init doesn't understand preprocessor directives we need to
define some empty initialisation functions.
trace/mercury_trace_vars.c:
Avoid a linking problem with MR_trace_ignored_type_ctors.
Add a dummy member to MR_trace_ignored_type_ctors so that the array
is never empty.
runtime/mercury.c:
Call MR_init_entry for each hand defined procedure.
runtime/mercury.h:
If profiling is turned on include the relevant header files.
runtime/mercury_goto.h:
Define MR_init_entry.
runtime/mercury_prof.c:
runtime/mercury_prof.h:
Make decl_fptr an extern global pointer so that mercury_wrapper.c
can call fclose on it.
runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
Call fclose on decl_fptr.
Estimated hours taken: 40 (+ unknown time by Zoltan)
Add support for memory profiling.
(A significant part of this change is actuallly Zoltan's work. Zoltan
did the changes to the compiler and a first go at the changes to the
runtime and library. I rewrote much of Zoltan's changes to the runtime
and library, added support for the new options/grades, added code to
interface with mprof, did the changes to the profiler, and wrote the
documentation.)
[TODO: add test cases.]
NEWS:
Mention support for memory profiling.
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
use MR_ prefixes, additional comments, etc.
runtime/mercury_prof_mem.h:
runtime/mercury_prof_mem.c:
Rename prof_malloc() as MR_prof_malloc().
Rename prof_make() as MR_PROF_NEW() and add MR_PROF_NEW_ARRAY().
runtime/mercury_wrapper.h:
Minor modifications to reflect the new interface to mercury_prof.c.
runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
runtime/mercury_label.c:
Rename the old `-p' (primary cache size) option as `-C'.
Add a new `-p' option to disable profiling.
runtime/Mmakefile:
Add mercury_heap_profile.[ch].
Put the list of files in alphabetical order.
Delete some obsolete stuff for supporting `.mod' files.
Mention that libmer_dll.h and libmer_globals.h are
produced by Makefile.DLLs.
runtime/mercury_imp.h:
Mention that libmer_dll.h is produced by Makefile.DLLs.
runtime/mercury_dummy.c:
Change a comment to refer to libmer_dll.h rather than
libmer_globals.h.
compiler/llds.m:
Add a new field to `create' and `incr_hp' instructions
holding the name of the type, for heap profiling.
compiler/unify_gen.m:
Initialize the new field of `create' instructions with
the appropriate type name.
compiler/llds_out.m:
Output incr_hp_msg() / tag_incr_hp_msg() instead of
incr_hp() / tag_incr_hp().
compiler/*.m:
Minor changes to most files in the compiler back-end to
accomodate the new field in `incr_hp' and `create' instructions.
library/io.m:
Add `io__report_full_memory_stats'.
library/benchmarking.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
at the end of main/2. This will print out full memory statistics,
if the compiler was compiled with memory profiling enabled.
compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
runtime/mercury_grade.h:
scripts/ml.in:
scripts/mgnuc.in:
scripts/init_grade_options.sh-subr:
scripts/parse_grade_options.sh-subr:
Add new option `--memory-profiling' and new grade `.memprof'.
Add `--time-profiling' as a new synonym for `--profiling'.
Also add `--profile-memory' for more fine-grained control:
`--memory-profiling' implies both `--profile-memory' and
`--profile-calls'.
scripts/mprof_merge_runs:
Update to handle the new format of Prof.Counts and to
also merge Prof.MemoryWords and Prof.MemoryCells.
profiler/options.m:
profiler/mercury_profile.m:
Add new options `--profile memory-words' (`-m'),
`--profile memory-cells' (`-M') and `--profile time' (`-t').
Thes options make the profiler select a different count file,
Prof.MemoryWords or Prof.MemoryCells instead of Prof.Counts.
specific to time profiling.
profiler/read.m:
profiler/process_file.m:
profiler/prof_info.m:
profiler/generate_output.m:
Update to handle the new format of the counts file.
When reading the counts file, look at the first line of
the file to determine what is being profiled.
profiler/globals.m:
Add a new global variable `what_to_profile' that records
what is being profiled.
profiler/output.m:
Change the headings to reflect what is being profiled.
doc/user_guide.texi:
Document memory profiling.
Document new options.
doc/user_guide.texi:
compiler/options.m:
Comment out the documentation for `.proftime'/`--profile-time',
since doing time and call profiling seperately doesn't work,
because the code addresses change when you recompile with a
different grade. Ditto for `.profmem'/`--profile-memory'.
Also comment out the documentation for
`.profcalls'/`--profile-calls', since it is redundant --
`.memprof' produces the same information and more.
configure.in:
Build a `.memprof' grade. (Hmm, should we do this only
if `--enable-all-grades' is specified?)
Don't ever build a `.profcalls' grade.
Estimated hours taken: 1
runtime/*.h:
runtime/*.c:
runtime/mercury_conf.h.in:
Remove old .h files.
Update #includes to refer to mercury_*.h
Update #ifdef MODULE_H to be #ifdef MERCURY_MODULE_H
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.
