Port Mercury to MinGW.
Estimated hours taken: 7 Branches: main and 0.12 Port Mercury to MinGW. README.Cygwin: README.MS-Windows: README.MinGW: Move most of README.MS-Windows to README.Cygwin and make README.MS-Windows refer the user to README.Cygwin, README.MinGW or README.MS-VisualC. README.MinGW describes how to install the source distribution under MSYS. configure.in: Configure Mercury for MinGW. Most of the options are the same as Cygwin. boehm_gc/Makefile: Add a workaround to a problem with cp not working properly just after a file is created on MinGW. If cygpath is not present (which it isn't on MSYS), then use /bin/sh to invoke the C compiler. scripts/mmc.in: Do not use exec to invoke mercury_compile under MinGW. exec doesn't seem to understand Windows like paths with a drive letter in front. |

Reduce even further the clutter of boring command line arguments.
Estimated hours taken: 0.3 Branches: main Reduce even further the clutter of boring command line arguments. scripts/mgnuc.in: If a file named .mgnuc_opts exists in the current directory, read mgnuc options from it. This mechanism is very similar to the mechanism I added a while ago to get C compiler options from a file named .mgnuc_copts. Convert to four-space indentation. scripts/mgnuc_file_opts.sh-subr: New file containing most of the option handling code that used to be in mgnuc.in. Now, it is is included in mgnuc twice: once for handling options from the command line, once for handling options from .mgnuc_opts files. configure.in: Set up configure to insert mgnuc_file_opts.sh-subr into mgnuc. */.mgnuc_opts: New files specifying the --no-mercury-stdlibdir mgnuc option. Mmake.workspace: Don't pass --no-mercury-stdlibdir on command lines anymore, since this is now taken care of by the .mgnuc_opts files. |

Introduce a mechanism for extending the det and nondet stacks when needed.
Estimated hours taken: 24
Branches: main
Introduce a mechanism for extending the det and nondet stacks when needed.
The mechanism takes the form of a new grade component, .exts ("extend stacks").
While the new mechanism may be useful in its own right, it is intended mainly
to support a new implementation of minimal model tabling, which will use a
separate Mercury context for each distinct subgoal. Each context has its own
det and nondet stack. Clearly, we can't have hundreds of contexts each with
megabyte sized det stacks. The intention is that the stacks of the subgoals
will start small, and be expanded when needed.
The runtime expansion of stacks doesn't work yet, but it is unnecessarily
hard to debug without an installed compiler that understands the new grade
component, which is why this diff will be committed before that is fixed.

runtime/mercury_memory_zones.h:
Add MR_ prefixes to the names of the fields of the zone structure.
Record not just the actual size of each zone, which includes various
kinds of buffers, but also the desired size of the zone exclusive of
buffers.
Format the documentation of the zone structure fields more
comprehensibly.
runtime/mercury_memory_zones.c:
Instead of implementing memalign if it is not provided by the operating
system, implement a function that allows us to reallocate the returned
area of memory.
Provide a prototype implementation of memory zone extension. It doesn't
work yet.
Factor out the code for setting up redzones, since it is now needed
in more than place.
Convert to four space indentation.
Make the debugging functions a bit more flexible.
runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
Conform to the improved interface of the debugging functions.

runtime/mercury_std.h:
Move a generally useful macro from mercury_overflow.h to mercury_std.h.

Add the tests required to invoke the functions that extend the stacks.
Add the macros needed by the change to compiler/llds.m.
Convert to four space indentation.
runtime/mercury_conf.h.in:
Prepare for the use of the posix_memalign function, which is the
current replacement of the obsolete memalign library function.
We don't yet use it.

compiler/handle_options.m:
compiler/options.m:
Handle the new grade component.
compiler/llds.m:
Add two new kinds of LLDS instructions, save_maxfr and restore_maxfr.
These are needed because the nondet stack may be relocated between
saving and the restoring of maxfr, and the saved maxfr may point to
the old stack. In .exts grades, these instructions will save not a
pointer but the offset of maxfr from the start of the nondet stack,
since offsets are not affected by the movement of the nondet stack.

Use the new instructions where relevant. (Some more work may be
needed on this score; the relevant places are marked with XXX.)

Estimated hours taken: 4 Branches: main Reduce the amount of clutter on mgnuc command lines by moving arguments that are always the same for a given directory into a file that is always consulted by mgnuc in the current directory. scripts/mgnuc.in: Always include as C compiler arguments the contents of a file named .mgnuc_copts in the current directory, if it exists. (It is named .mgnuc_copts instead of .mgnuc_opts because it may not contain general mgnuc options, such as --no-mercury-stdlib-dir.) Mmake.workspace: Comment out the additions of search paths to CFLAGS. */Mmakefile: Delete the additions of search paths to CFLAGS. */.mgnuc_copts: New files containing the directory-specific search paths, and in some cases the required macro definitions. These replace what was taken out of Mmake.workspace and */Mmakefile. In some cases, the old search paths included inappropriate directories; the .mgnuc_copt files don't. tests/.mgnuc_copts.ws: New files containing the directory-specific search paths; bootcheck makes tests/.mgnuc_copts from it. */.nocopyright: Don't require copyright notices in .mgnuc_copts files. tools/bootcheck: Copy the various .mgnuc_copts files from the stage1 to stages 2 and 3. They aren't needed in stage3 right now, but that may change. Create tests/.mgnuc_copts. browser/util.m: Delete an unused and inappropriate #include. scripts/Mmake.rules: Use a single invocation of mkdir -p to create all subdirectories needed by Java. Update a piece of documentation. scripts/Mmakefile: Reorganize the process of invoking config.status to avoid invoking it on inappropriate files, and to ensure the right permissions on the files it is invoked on. scripts/prepare_tmp_dir_grade_part: Copy the .mgnuc_copts files when populating tmp_dir. |

Remove most of the junk from the command lines executed by make when building
Estimated hours taken: 12 Branches: main Remove most of the junk from the command lines executed by make when building the compiler and by bootcheck when building test cases. We do this by moving the junk into files consulted via the --flags option. After this change, it is actually possible to see in a glance not just which files are being compiled but also with which options. The size of the output (measured in bytes) from a bootcheck is now only about 40% of what is was before. configure.in: Remember the path to the bootstrap compiler and the flags it should be invoked with separately. Put the flags into the FLAGS files in various directories. Test whether the default install directory actually exists, so that the -L and -R linker options referring to this directory are passed to the C compiler only if it does. Mmake.common.in: Comment out a bunch of additions of MCFLAGS, the ones whose contents are now in FLAGS files. Conform to the changes in configure.in. Add a template rule for the dependencies of the FLAGS files. Mmake.workspace: Comment out a bunch of additions of MCFLAGS, the ones whose contents are now in FLAGS files. In some cases, add references to the FLAGS files. Mmakefile: When rebuilding Mmake.common, rebuild only Mmake.common, not all files created by configure. analysis/ANALYSIS_FLAGS.in: browser/MDB_FLAGS.in: compiler/COMP_FLAGS.in: deep_profiler/PROF_FLAGS.in: library/LIB_FLAGS.in: mdbcomp/MDBCOMP_FLAGS.in: profiler/DEEP_FLAGS.in: slice/SLICE_FLAGS.in: tests/TESTS_FLAGS.in: Add these files, which each contain the junk flags (the flags which are the same on every invocation and mostly just clutter up compiler command lines) that are needed on each compiler invocation in the relevant directory. Besides the results of configuration (word size etc), and the paths to other parts of the system, these files mostly control which warnings are enabled. Restrict the list of directories in -I options to what is sensible; for example, don't specify -I../analysis in the deep_profiler directory. */.nocopyright: Don't require copyright notices in FLAGS files, since that would make them invalid. library/INTER_FLAGS: Add this file, which contains the flags enabled with intermodule optimization. tests/WS_FLAGS.ws: Add this file. Unlike the .in files, which processed by config.status based on the results of autoconfiguration, this one is processed to specify the location of the workspace being tested. analysis/Mmakefile: browser/Mmakefile: compiler/Mmakefile: deep_profiler/Mmakefile: library/Mmakefile: mdbcomp/Mmakefile: profiler/Mmakefile: tests/Mmakefile: Include the relevant directory's FLAGS file on the command line, to replace all the additions to MCFLAGS in ../Mmake.common and in ../Mmake.workspace, and in some cases, the directory-specific Mmakefile itself. Build the directory's FLAGS file before executing the depend target, since most compiler options beyond --generate-dependencies come from there. Delete the FLAGS files generated by config.status when doing "make clean". tests/Mmakefile: Allow the environment to define DIFF_OPTS. runtime/Mmakefile: Use an option to tell config.status what to rebuild, not some environment variables. tests/invalid/Mercury.options: For two test cases, reset an option that is set in tests/WS_FLAGS, to match the options the affected tests were compiled with before. tests/invalid/*.err2: Update these expected files to account for the use of error_util in error messages by previous changes to the compiler. These expected output files are used only with --use-subdirs. tests/warnings/Mmakefile: For all test cases, reset an option that is set in tests/WS_FLAGS, to match the options the tests were compiled with before. scripts/prepare_tmp_dir_grade_part Copy the flags files when creating the subdirectories of tmp_dir. scripts/mgnuc.in: Provide a mechanism, a per-directory .mgnuc_opts file, for specifying the options that are required for every C file in a directory. The intention is to use this for -I../library etc, but this is not done yet; one thing at a time. tools/bootcheck: Copy the FLAGS files when creating stage2 and stage3. Don't specify the compiler options that are now in FLAGS files. Fill in the location of the workspace in tests/WS_FLAGS before running the tests. Provide a mechanism (a file ~/.bootcheck_diff_opts) to allow the user to specify what options to invoke diff with. Move the setting of MMAKE_USE_SUBDIRS and MMAKE_USE_MMC_MAKE after we have built stage1, and always copy the profilers if --use-subdirs is set. The old ways of doing things caused problems if bootcheck was given --use-subdirs but stage1 doesn't use subdirs: the bootcheck modified the stage1 slice, profiler and deep_profiler directories. |

Implement a mechanism to generate the information required to determine the
Estimated hours taken: weeks Branches: main Implement a mechanism to generate the information required to determine the algorithmic complexity of selected procedures. The basis of the mechanism is a program transformation that wraps up the body of each selected procedure in code that detects top-level (non-recursive) calls, and for each top-level call, records the sizes of the input arguments and information about the cost of the call. For now, the cost information consists only of the number of cells and words allocated during the call, but there is provision for later adding information from a real-time clock. compiler/complexity.m: A new module containing the new transformation. compiler/transform_hlds.m: Add complexity.m to the list of submodules. compiler/mercury_compile.m: Invoke the new module. compiler/notes/compiler_design.html: Mention the new module. compiler/options.m: Add an option, --experimental-complexity. Its argument is a filename that specifies the list of procedures to transform. Add an option, --no-allow-inlining, to disallow all inlining. This is simpler to use than specifying several options to turn off each potential reason to inline procedures. doc/user_guide.texi: Document the new options. The documentation present now is only a shell; it will be expanded later. compiler/table_gen.m: compiler/goal_util.m: Move the predicate for creating renamings from table_gen.m to goal_util.m, since complexity.m also needs it now. In the process, make it more general by allowing outputs to have more complex modes than simply `out'. compiler/goal_util.m: Fix a bug exposed by the new transformation: when renaming goals (e.g. for quantification), rename the variables holding information about term sizes. compiler/handle_options.m: Disable inlining if experimental complexity analysis is enabled. compiler/compile_target_code.m: Pass the --experimental-complexity option on to the linker. library/term_size_prof_builtin.m: Add the Mercury predicates that serve as interfaces to the primitives needed by the experimental complexity transformation. runtime/mercury_term_size.[ch]: Add the implementations of the primitives needed by the experimental complexity transformation. runtime/mercury_wrapper.[ch]: Add global variables holding counters of the numbers of words and cells allocated so far. runtime/mercury_heap.h: Update these global variables when allocating memory. runtime/mercury_complexity.h: New file that contains the definition of the data structures holding the data collected by the experimental complexity transformation. This is separate from mercury_term_size.h, because it needs to be #included in mercury_init.h, the header file of the mkinit-generated <program>_init.c files. runtime/mercury_init.h: runtime/mercury_imp.h: #include mercury_complexity.h. util/mkinit.c: Define and initialize the data structures holding complexity information when given the -X option (mkinit doesn't have long options). Fix some deviations from our coding style. scripts/parse_ml_options.sh-subr.in: Accept the --experiment-complexity option. scripts/c2init.in: Pass the --experiment-complexity option on to mkinit.c. tools/bootcheck: Preserve the files containing the results of complexity analysis, if they exist. tools/makebatch: Allow the specification of EXTRA_MLFLAGS in the generated Mmake.stage.params files. |

Move the mdbcomp library to its own directory.
Estimated hours taken: 12 Branches: main Move the mdbcomp library to its own directory. To make this change less painful to test, improve the way we handle installs. browser/mdbcomp.m: browser/mer_mdbcomp.m: browser/prim_data.m: browser/program_representation.m: browser/trace_counts.m: Move these files to the mdbcomp directory. browser/Mmakefile: browser/Mercury.options: mdbcomp/Mmakefile: mdbcomp/Mercury.options: Split the contents of the old Mmakefile and Mercury.options file in the browser directory between these files as appropriate. Simplify away the stuff not needed now that there is only one library per directory. Make the browser directory see the relevant files from the mdbcomp directory. Mmake.common.in: Separate out the prefixes allowed in the browser and the mdbcomp directories. Mmake.workspace: Set up a make variable to refer to the mdbcomp directory. Adjust references to the mdbcomp library to point to its new location. Mmakefile: Make invocations visit the mdbcomp library as necessary. Improve the way we install grades. Making temporary backups of the directories modified by the install process is unsatisfactory for two reasons. First, if the install fails, the cleanup script, which is necessary for user friendliness, destroys any evidence of the cause. Second, the restore of the backup wasn't perfect, e.g. it left the .d files modified to depend on .mih files, which don't exist in LLDS grades, and also left altered timestamps. This diff changes the install process to make a single tmp_dir subdirectory of the workspace, with all the work of install_grade being done inside tmp_dir. The original directories aren't touched at all. */Mmakefile: Adjust references to the browser directory to refer to the mdbcomp directory instead or as well. scripts/Mmake.rules: */Mmakefile: Make it easier to debug Mmakefiles. Previously, creating a Mmake.makefile with mmake -s and invoking "make -d" ignored the most fundamental rules of mmake, because Mmake.rules was treating an unset MMAKE_USE_MMC_MAKE as if it were set to "yes", simply because it was different from "no". This diff changes it to treat an unset MMAKE_USE_MMC_MAKE as if it were set to "no", which is a more sensible default. scripts/prepare_tmp_dir_fixed_part.in: scripts/scripts/prepare_tmp_dir_grade_part: Two new scripts that each do half the work of preparing tmp_dir for the real work of the install_grade make target. The fixed_part script prepares the parts of tmp_dir that are grade-independent, while the grade_part scripts prepares the parts that are grade-dependent. configure.in: Test C files in the mdbcomp directory to see whether they need to be recompiled after reconfiguration. Create prepare_tmp_dir_fixed_part from prepare_tmp_dir_fixed_part.in. compiler/*.m: runtime/mercury_wrapper.c: Update the references to the moved files. compiler/notes/overall_design.html: Mention the new directory. |

Fix linking error for hlc.par.gc grade on Darwin.
Estimated hours taken: 3 Branches: main Fix linking error for hlc.par.gc grade on Darwin. The problem was that the "-undefined suppress" option is not allowed with two level namespaces. The solution is to use "-undefined dynamic_lookup" instead. However this means the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment variable must be set to 10.3 since this feature will not work on Mac OS < 10.3. To allow hlc.gc.par to be built on Mac 10.3, but targetted for Mac OS 10.0 - 10.2 add a configuration option to force the use of flat namespaces (the "-undefined suppress" option may be used with flat namespaces). configure.in Add --enable-darwin-flat-namespace option. This is the default for Mac OS < 10.3. For Mac OS 10.3 two level namespaces are used unless this option is given. Set a variable to cause the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment variable to be set if two level namespaces are being used. scripts/mmake.in scripts/ml.in scripts/mmc.in Set the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment variable wherever the linker may be called. |

Changes to get shared libraries to work on Mac OS X (Darwin).
Estimated hours taken: 20
Branches: main
Changes to get shared libraries to work on Mac OS X (Darwin).
This is phase 2 of 2. Phase 1 added the compiler options described below.
Phase 2 uses these compiler options in the configuration scripts.
Darwin shared libraries have the extension `dylib' instead of `so'. Also
objects that link to a shared library on Darwin don't need to be told the
runtime path in which they should look for the libraries, instead the
shared libraries themselves remember where they will be eventually installed
(called the install-name) and any object which links in the shared library will
get the install-name from the shared library at link time. When a shared
library is built it has to be told where it will be installed which is what
the libtool -install_name option is used for on Darwin.
This diff only enables shared libraries on Darwin, not "bundles" which are
shared objects that can be loaded dynamically at runtime using something like
dlopen. Therefore the interactive query tool in the debugger still doesn't
work on Mac OS X.
Added three new compiler options :
--shlib-linker-use-install-name :
A boolean flag to tell the compiler to use the -install_name option
when building shared libraries. When this flag is set the following
options have no effect: --linker-rpath-flag, --linker-rpath-separator,
--shlib-linker-rpath-flag, --shlib-linker-rpath-separator.
--shlib-linker-install-name-flag :
The flag name to use ("-install_name" for Darwin).

Estimated hours taken: 1 Branches: main Add the option `--file' to mmake. This allows the user to specify the name of the file that mmake uses as the Mmakefile. This can be useful when porting programs between systems and experimenting with different configurations, particularly when the programs are not under the control of autoconf. The option `--file' may be abbreviated to `-f'. If a file is specified via `--file' then it will be used in preference to any file in the current directory named Mmakefile or Mmake. Unlike GNU make using multiple instances of `--file' will not cause mmake to jointly use all of the specified files. Instead it will use the last one specified and ignore the others. scripts/mmake.in: Add the `--file' option to mmake. |

Major improvements to tabling, of two types.
Estimated hours taken: 32
Branches: main
Major improvements to tabling, of two types. The first is the implementation
of the loopcheck and memo forms of tabling for model_non procedures, and the
second is a start on the implementation of a new method of implementing
minimal model tabling, one that has the potential for a proper fix of the
problem that we currently merely detect with the pneg stack (the detection
is followed by a runtime abort). Since this new method relies on giving each
own generator its own stack, the grade component denoting it is "mmos"
(minimal model own stack). The true name of the existing method is changed
from "mm" to "mmsc" (minimal model stack copy). The grade component "mm"
is now a shorthand for "mmsc"; when the new method works, "mm" will be changed
to be a shorthand for "mmos".

compiler/table_gen.m:
Implement the transformations required by the loopcheck and memo
tabling of model_non procedures, and the minimal model own stack
transformation.
The new implementation transformations use foreign_procs with extra
args, since there is no point in implementing them both that way and
with separate calls to library predicates. This required making the
choice of which method to use at the top level of each transformation.
Fix an oversight that hasn't caused problems yet but may in the future:
mark goals wrapping the original goals as not impure for determinism
computations.
compiler/handle_options.m:
Handle the new arrangement of the options for minimal model tabling.
Detect simultaneous calls for both forms of minimal model tabling,
and generate an error message. Allow for more than one error message
generated at once; report them all once rather than separately.

runtime/mercury_minimal_model.[ch]:
The structure type holding answer lists is now in mercury_tabling.h,
since it is now also needed by memo tabling of model_non predicates.
It no longer has a field for an answer num, because while it is ok
to require a separate grade for debugging minimal model tabling,
it is not ok to require a separate grade for debugging memo tabling
of model_non predicates. Instead of printing the answer numbers,
print the answers themselves when we need to identify solutions
for debugging.

in the engine.
Add variables for holding the sizes of the det and nondet stacks

Get Mercury to work with gcc 3.4. This required fixing several problems.
Estimated hours taken: 16 Branches: main Get Mercury to work with gcc 3.4. This required fixing several problems. One problem that caused errors is that gcc 3.4 is smart enough to figure out that in LLDS grades with gcc gotos, the C functions containing our code are not referred to, and so it optimizes them away. The fix is to ensure that mercury_<module>_init is defined always to call those functions, even if the macro that usually controls this, MR_MAY_NEED_INITIALIZATION, is not defined. The mercury_<module>_init won't be called from the init_modules function in the program's _init.c file, so there is no impact on initialization time, but gcc doesn't know this when compiling a module's .c file, so it doesn't optimize away the code we need. The cost of this change is thus only a small amount of code space. It is worth paying this cost even with compilers other than gcc 3.4 for simplicity. Actually, this size increase seems to be slightly smaller than the size reduction due to the better optimization capabilities of gcc 3.4 compared to gcc 3.2.2. A second problem is that gcc 3.4 warns about casts in lvalues being a deprecated feature. This gave lots of warnings, since we used to define several Mercury abstract machine registers, including MR_succip, MR_hp, MR_sp, MR_maxfr and MR_curfr using lvalue casts. The fix is to have two macros for each of these abstract machine registers, one of type MR_Word that you can assign to (e.g. MR_sp_word), and one of the original type that is of the right type but not an lvalue (e.g. MR_sp). The lvalue itself can't be made the right type, because MR_sp isn't a variable in its own right, but possibly defined to be a machine register. The machine register could made the right type, but only at the cost of a lot of complexity. This problem doesn't apply to the special-purpose Mercury abstract machine registers that can't be allocated to machine registers. Instead of #defining these to slots in MR_fake_reg, we make them global variables of the natural type. This should also make it easier to debug code using these registers. We treat these global variables as if they were machine registers in that MR_save_registers copies values from these global variables to slots reserved for them in the MR_fake_reg array, to allow code to loop over all Mercury abstract machine registers. These saved slots must of course be of type MR_Word, so we again need two macros to refer to them, a lvalue of type MR_Word and an rvalue with the right type. A third problem is that gcc 3.4 warns about conditionals in lvalues being a deprecated feature. This gave a few warnings, since we used to define MR_virtual_reg and MR_saved_reg using lvalues using conditionals. The fix is to have one macro (MR_virtual_reg_value) for use in rvalues and a separate macro which uses an if-then-else instead of a conditional expression (MR_virtual_reg_assign), for assignments. A fourth problem is that gcc 3.4 warns about comma operators in lvalues being a deprecated feature. This gave warnings in the few places where we refer to MR_r(N) for values of N that can map to fake registers directly, since in those cases we preceded the reference to the fake_reg array with a range check of the array index. The fix to this is to move the test to compile time for compiler-generated code. Hand-written code never refers to MR_r(N) for these values, and is very unlikely to do so in the future; instead, it refers to the underlying fake_reg array directly, since that way it doesn't have to worry about which fake registers have their own MR_rN macro and which don't. Therefore no check mechanism for hand-written code is necessary. This change mean that changing the number of MR_rN registers now requires change to the compiler as well as to the runtime system. A fifth problem is that gcc 3.4 by default assumes -fstrict-aliasing at -O2. Since we cast between integers and pointers of different types all the time, and changing that is not practical, at least in the short term, we need to disable -fstrict-aliasing when we enable -O2. NEWS: Note that Mercury now works with gcc 3.4. configure.in: scripts/mgnuc.in: Detect whether the compiler supports -fstrict-aliasing, and if so, whether it assumes it by default with -O2. If the answer is yes to both, make mgnuc specify -fno-strict-aliasing when it specifies -O2. By including it in CFLAGS_FOR_OPT, which gets put into Mercury.config, we also get -f-no-strict-aliasing when mmc invokes the C compiler directly. compiler/llds_out.m: Don't generate #ifdef MR_MAY_NEED_INITIALIZATION around the definitions and calls to the bunch functions, which call the functions we don't want the C compiler to optimize away. Generate the newly required lvalues on the left sides of assignments. We still have code to generate LVALUE_CASTs in some cases, but I don't think those cases ever arise. Add a compile-time check of register numbers. Ideally, the code generator should use stack slots instead of registers beyond the max number, but I don't recall us ever bumping into this limit by accident. compiler/fact_table.m: Use the newly required lvalues on the left sides of assignments in some hand-written C code included in generated .c files. runtime/mercury_regs.h: Make the changes described above to fix the second, third and fourth problems. We still use comma operators in lvalues when counting references to registers, but it is OK to require anyone who wants to enable this feature to use a compiler version that supports comma operators in lvalues or to ignore the warnings. Use the same mapping from Mercury abstract machine registers to the register count array as to the MR_fake_reg array. Have this mapping depend as little as possible on whether we need a real machine register to store MR_engine base, even if it costs a wasted slot in MR_fake_reg. Fix an old inconsistency: treat the Mercury abstract machine registers used for trailing the same way as the other Mercury abstract machine registers, by making MR_save_registers/MR_restore_registers copy them to and from their global variable homes. Document the requirement for the match between the runtime's and the compiler's notions of the maximum MR_rN register number. This requirement makes it harder for users to increase the number of virtual registers, but as far as I know noone has wanted to do this. Change the names of some of the macros to make them clearer. Reorder some parts of this file, and add some documentation, also in the interest of clarity. runtime/mercury_regorder.h: Delete this file after moving its contents, in much modified form, to mercury_regs.h. mercury_regorder.h was always logically part of mercury_regs.h, but was separated out to make it easier to change the mapping from Mercury abstract machine registers to machine registers. However, the cost of incompatibility caused by any such changes would be much greater that any likely performance benefit. runtime/Mmakefile: Remove the reference to mercury_regorder.h. runtime/mercury_regs.[ch]: runtime/mercury_memory_zones.[ch]: Move some functionality dealing with registers from mercury_memory_zones to mercury_regs, since it belongs there. runtime/mercury_regs.[ch]: Add a function to make it easiler to debug changes to map from Mercury abstract machine to MR_fake_reg slots. runtime/mercury_regs.[ch]: runtime/mercury_wrapper.c: Move the code to print counts of register uses from mercury_wrapper.c to mercury_regs.c. Make mercury_wrapper.c call the debugging function in mercury_regs.c if -X is specified in MERCURY_OPTIONS. runtime/mercury_bootstrap.h: Move the old MR_saved_reg and MR_virtual_reg macros from mercury_regs.h to mercury_bootstrap.h to prevent their accidental use. Since they shouldn't be used by user code, move them to the section that is not enabled by default. runtime/mercury_stacks.[ch]: Add _word versions of the macros for stack slots, for the same reason why we need them for Mercury abstract machine registers, and use them. Add global variables for the Mercury abstract machine registers for the gen, cut and pneg stacks. runtime/mercury_heap.h: Change the macros for allocating memory to assign to MR_hp_word instead of MR_hp. runtime/mercury_string.h: Change the macros for allocating strings to accomodate the updates to mercury_heap.h. Also change the expected type of the target to make it MR_String instead of MR_ConstString, since the latter requires casts in the caller. runtime/mercury_trail.h: runtime/mercury_types.h: Move the definition of the type MR_TrailEntry from mercury_trail.h to mercury_types.h, since it is now used in mercury_regs.h. runtime/mercury_accurate_gc.c: runtime/mercury_agc_debug.c: runtime/mercury_calls.h: runtime/mercury_context.[ch]: runtime/mercury_deconstruct_macros.h: runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h: runtime/mercury_engine.[ch]: runtime/mercury_hand_compare_body.h: runtime/mercury_hand_unify_body.h: runtime/mercury_ho_call.c: runtime/mercury_layout_util.c: runtime/mercury_make_type_info_body.h: runtime/mercury_minimal_model.c: runtime/mercury_ml_deconstruct_body.h: runtime/mercury_ml_functor_body.h: runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h: runtime/mercury_type_desc.c: runtime/mercury_type_info.c: runtime/mercury_unify_compare_body.h: runtime/mercury_wrapper.c: Conform to the changes in the rest of the runtime.

Fix a bunch of problems with tabling that I identified in Uppsala.
Estimated hours taken: 32
Branches: main
Fix a bunch of problems with tabling that I identified in Uppsala. These fall
into two categories.
First, the tabling transformations we were using were dividing work up
too finely. This had three bad effects. First, it caused too much time to be
spent on transmitting data to and from library predicates. Second, it made the
transformations hard to document and hard to explain in a paper. Third, it
caused us to misidentify just what the various forms of tabling have in common,
and what forms of tabling work for what determinisms. To fix this problem,
this diff reorients table_builtin.m and table_gen.m from being divided
primarily by determinism to being divided by evaluation method.
Second, we weren't being careful in separating out the parts of the tabling
data structures that are needed only for debugging the tabling system itself.
The fix for this is to introduce a new grade flag, MR_MINIMAL_MODEL_DEBUG,
intended for use by implementors only, to govern whether the tabling data
structures include debug-only components. (If this flag weren't a grade flag,
the sizes of data structures created in files with different values of this
flag could be inconsistent, which is something you don't want when debugging
the complex code of the tabling infrastructure.)
compiler/table_gen.m:
Reorganize the simple (loopcheck and memo) tabling transformations
completely. Instead of separate transformations for model_det and
model_semi predicates, have separate transformations for loopcheck
and memo predicates, since this makes it easier to see (and to ensure)
that the transformation follows the required scheme. Instead of
generating nested if-then-elses, generate switches when possible.
For model_semi loopcheck and memo predicates, generate Mercury code
that obeys our scope rules by not binding output variables in the
condition of the one remaining if-then-else.
Finetune the minimal model tabling transformation by combining some
operations where this improves clarity and performance.
Order the transformation predicates logically, and move the
documentation of each form of tabling next to the code implementing
that form of tabling.
Attach call_table_gen markers to the setup goals that now all
loopcheck, memo and minimal model tabled predicates have,
to avoid having to special case the last lookup goal, and to avoid
having to have separate code for lookups in call tables versus answer
tables.
Generate unique and more meaningful variable names. Change some
predicate names to be more meaningful, both here and in the
transformed code.
Factor out some common code, e.g. for generating lookup goals,
for generating instmap_deltas and for attaching hide_debug_event
markers to goals.
Report errors in cases where the arguments of a tabled predicate
aren't completely input or output.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
Be more strict about the determinisms of tabled predicates; permit
only the determinisms we really support in all cases, and do not
permit the ones that may happen to work in some cases.
Conform to the change of the name of a builtin.
compiler/det_report.m:
Improve the error message for cases when the determinism is
incompatible with the selected tabling mechanism.
compiler/compile_target_code.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
compiler/options.m:
Handle the new grade component.
library/private_builtin.m:
Provide a semipure analog of the imp predicate, a call to which makes
predicates semipure rather than impure, for use in table_builtin.m.
library/table_builtin.m:
runtime/mercury_tabling_preds.h:
Change the tabling primitives in the ways required by the changes to
the tabling transformations.
Group the primitives by the tabling methods they support, and change
their names to reflect this.
Change the implementation of each of the affected predicates to be
nothing more than the invocation of a macro defined in the new header
file runtime/mercury_tabling_preds.h. The objective of this change
is to make it possible for table_gen.m to replace sequences of calls
to predicates in table_builtin.m with a single extended foreign_proc
goal whose body just invokes the corresponding macros in sequence.
That change should improve performance by allowing the variables
that flow from one tabling primitive to another to stay in x86
registers, instead of being copied to and from Mercury abstract
machines registers, which on the x86 aren't real machine registers.
Benchmarking in Uppsala verified that this is a major cost.
Mark the foreign types used for tabling as can_pass_as_mercury_type;
this was the intended use of that assertion. Make them private to the
module, since the rest of the compiler can now handle this.
Delete the implementations of the predicates for duplicate checking
and for returning answers for completed subgoals. Profiling with gprof
has shown their performance to be critical to the performance of
minimal model tabling overall, and even with our recent changes,
the compiler still can't create optimal C code for them. They are
now implemented with handwritten code in mercury_minimal_model.c.
library/term.m:
Add two utility predicates for use by table_gen.m.
library/Mmakefile:
Since much of the implementation of table_builtin.m is now in
runtime/mercury_tabling_preds.h, make its object files depend

the segment we need to save.

separate sets of status values, and import mercury_tabling_preds.h.

The following change is only 98% complete, not 100%.
Estimated hours taken: 120
Branches: main
The following change is only 98% complete, not 100%. I am committing it in
this state because (1) we pass many more test cases in deep profiling grade
with it than without it, and (2) the double maintanance involved in fixing
CVS conflicts is preventing me from doing the last 2%.
Get the deep profiler to work for code that sets up to catch exceptions,
which for the last year or more has included the compiler, and to get it
almost working for code that actually catching exceptions.
The basic problem is that code that throws exceptions will in general cause
several calls to "return" without executing the exit or fail port codes that
the deep profiling transformation inserted into their bodies, and this leaves
the data structure being built by the deep profiling inconsistent. The solution
uses the same approach as we have adopted for the debugger: have the code that
handles the throwing of exceptions simulate a return from each call between
the throw and the catch, updating the deep profiling data structures as needed.
This requires us to be able to walk the stack at runtime not just in debugging
grades but also in deep profiling grades. Since the debugger already has the
mechanisms required for this, we reuse them. The procedure layouts used by the
debugger were designed to have three segments: the procedure stack walk
information, the procedure id, and the execution tracing information. We now
modify this design to make the third segment contain two pointers: to the
execution tracing information (for use by the debugger), and to the procedure's
proc_static structure (for use by deep profiling). Each pointer will be null
unless the pointed-to structure is required by compile-time options.
This common use by the debugger and by deep profiling of the stack-walk
structure and the procedure id structure (which deep profiling used to
generate independently and possibly redundantly) required some rearrangement
of the compiler's version of these data structures.
To make this rearrangement simpler, this diff removes a capability that
we theoretically supported but never used: turning on stack traces without
turning on execution tracing and vice versa. After this diff, stack tracing
is enabled if and only if either execution tracing or deep profiling is
enabled.
The diff also includes improvements in the debugging infrastructure for
debugging deep profiling, which were necessary for the implementation of the
rest of the changes.
compiler/deep_profiling.m:
The code in exception.m needs to know the locations of the variables
that we would pass to the exit or fail port code, so it can simulate
leaving the procedure invocation through the exception port. Without
this information, throwing an exception leaves the deep profiling
data structures of the procedure invocations between throw and catch
in an inconsistent state.
Deep_profiling.m creates these variables, but it doesn't know where
they will be at runtime, so it records their identities; the code
generator will allocate them stack slots and record the numbers of
these stack slots for placement in the now expanded proc layout
structures. Deep profiling used to generate static data structures
separately from the HLDS, but since the code generator now needs
access to them, we store their information in proc_infos in the HLDS.
Instead of passing the addresses of proc_static structures to the deep
profiling port procedures, pass the address of proc_layout structures,
since the information about the identities of procedures are now stored
not in the proc_static structure, but in the proc_layout structure
that points to the proc_static structure.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/layout.m:
Move the definitions of the static data structures generated by deep
profiling from layout.m to hlds_pred.m, to allow deep_profiling.m
to store them in proc_infos.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/rtti.m:
Move the definition of rtti_proc_label from rtti.m to hlds_pred.m,
since some of the new data structures in hlds_pred.m need it. Despite
its name, the rtti_proc_label type doesn't contain any info that
doesn't belong in the HLDS.
Add some information to the rtti_proc_label type that is now needed
by deep profiling, e.g. record determinisms instead of just code
models. Record explicitly the outcome of some tests that used to be
duplicated in more than one place in the compiler, e.g. for whether
the procedure (as opposed to the predicate) is imported. Change some
of the field names to be more precise about the field's meaning.
compiler/code_gen.m:
Transmit the contents of the deep profiling data structures stored in
the proc_info by deep_profiling.m to continuation_info.m, together
with the layout structures created for execution tracing and the
identities of the variables needed for handling exceptions,
when code generation for a procedure is complete.
After the goal that generates these variables, save them to stack
for use by the exception handler.
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
Add a feature to mark the goal that generates the deep profiling
variables needed by the exception handler.
compiler/hlds_llds.m:
Add a utility predicate for new code in code_gen.m
compiler/continuation_info.m:
Hold the deep profiling information computed by code_gen.m for use by
stack_layout.m.
compiler/layout.m:
compiler/layout_out.m:
Update the definitions of the data structures describing procedure
layouts, and the code writing them out, to reflect the use of some
parts of procedure layouts by deep profiling as well as debugging.
Change the layout structures generated by deep profiling to use
rtti_proc_labels, which are backend independent, instead of
proc_labels, which are specific to the LLDS backend.
Conform to the changes in runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h.
compiler/stack_layout.m:
Generate the updated version of proc_layout structures.
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/global_data.m:
Conform to the fact that deep profiling no longer generates layout
structures separate from proc_infos.
compiler/llds_out.m:
Register proc_layout structures instead of proc_static structures
for use by runtime/mercury_deep_profiling.c.
compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
Rename the require_tracing option as exec_trace, since this more
directly reflects its meaning.
Instead of having --debug set both require_tracing and stack_trace,
make it set (be the user-visible name of) just exec_trace;
the value of stack_trace is implied.
Turn off the specialization of deep profiling for self-tail-recursive
procedures for now. Due to the changes made by this diff in the data
structures involved in debugging, it cannot be debugged until this
change has been installed. Handling the full language is more important
than a specialization that reduces only stack space overheads, not
runtime overheads.
compiler/compile_target_code.m:
Conform to the changes in options.m and runtime/mercury_grade.h.
compiler/hlds_data.m:
Replace the deep_profiling_proc_static cons_id, and its associated tag,
to deep_profiling_proc_layout, since we now generate addresses of proc
layout structures, not of proc_static structures.
compiler/code_util.m:
Simplify some code based on the new info in rtti_proc_labels.
compiler/bytecode_gen.m:
compiler/dependency_graph.m:

compiler/rtti_out.m:
compiler/rtti_to_mlds.m:
compiler/saved_vars.m:
compiler/switch_util.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:
Minor changes to conform to the change from deep_profiling_proc_static
to deep_profiling_proc_layout, to the change in the structure of
rtti_proc_labels, to the changes in types of layout.m, and/or to the
new goal feature.
deep_profiler/measurements.m:
Reserve space for exception counts.
deep_profiler/html_format.m:
Add a column for exception counts.
deep_profiler/profile.m:
deep_profiler/read_profile.m:
Rename the data structures referring to compiler generated unify,
compare and index predicates to avoid misleading names: they are
not the only compiler generated predicates.
deep_profiler/read_profile.m:
runtime/mercury_deep_profiling.c:
Update the string that identifies deep profiling data files.
This is necessary because the format has changed: it now includes
information about exception port counts.
library/exception.m:
In deep profiling grades, execute the exception port code for every
procedure invocation between a throw and a catch, using the procedure
layout structures now generated by the compiler for every procedure.
Rename the function involved to reflect its new, more general purpose.
Update the definitions of the hand-written proc_static and proc_layout
structures for the procedures implemented via hand-written C code.
Indent C preprocessor directives and foreign_procs according to our
coding standards.
library/profiling_builtin.m:
Change the parameters of the call port code procedures from proc_static
to proc_layout. Reach the proc_static structure from the proc_layout
structure when needed. Include the proc_layout structure in any
messages from assertion failures.
Add some conditionally compiled debugging code.
Give some variables better names.
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
runtime/mercury_builtin_types.c:
Move the macros required to create the proc_static structures
of unify and compare predicates from mercury_type_info.h
to mercury_builtin_types.c, since the latter is the only file
that needs them.
Use the same macros for creating the proc_static structures
of hand-written unify, compare and compare_reprentation predicates
as for user defined predicates. This required changing their naming
scheme.
runtime/mercury_unify_compare_body.h:
Conform to the new naming scheme.
runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
Provide the mechanism for mercury_unify_compare_body.h to conform
to the new naming scheme.
Remove the definitions of the proc_static structures for
hand-written unify, compare and compare_reprentation predicates,
since these now have to be defined together with the corresponding
proc_layout structures in mercury_builtin_types.c.
runtime/mercury_builtin_types.[ch]:
Update the definitions of the hand-written proc_static and proc_layout
structures for the procedures implemented via hand-written C code,
and add the required declarations first.
Handle deep profiling of compare_representation as well as unify
and compare predicates on builtin types.
Handle deep profiling of compare_representation on user-defined types,
since this is done entirely in the runtime, not by compiler generated
predicates.
runtime/mercury_builtin_types_proc_layouts.h:
New header file containing the declarations of the proc layout
structures of the unify, compare and index predicates of builtin types.
Logically, these declarations belong in mercury_builtin_types.h,
but putting them there causes problems for the linker; the details
are explained in the file itself.
runtime/Mmakefile:
Add the new header file.
runtime/mercury_minimal_model.[ch]:
Update the definitions of the hand-written proc_static and proc_layout
structures for the procedures implemented via hand-written C code,
and add the required declarations first.
runtime/mercury_grade.h:
Replace the MR_REQUIRE_TRACING grade option with MR_EXEC_TRACING.
Besides being better named, the MR_EXEC_TRACING option implies
MR_STACK_TRACE.
Besides the overall binary compatibility version number, add subsidiary
version numbers for binary compatibility in deep profiling and
debugging grades. These will make it easier to bootstrap changes
(such as this) that affect binary compatibility only in such grades.
runtime/mercury_trace_base.c:
trace/mercury_trace.c:
Conform to the new names of the configuration parameters.
runtime/mercury_hand_compare_body.h:
runtime/mercury_hand_unify_body.h:
runtime/mercury_hand_unify_compare_body.h:
runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
tools/make_port_code:
Pass proc_layout structures instead of proc_static structures
to deep profiling port routines.
runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
Make MR_DEEP_PROFILING as well as MR_EXEC_TRACING imply MR_STACK_TRACE,
since deep profiling now needs stack tracing. (MR_STACK_TRACE needs
to be set in this file, because tests in this file depend on knowing
its value, and this file is among the first files included (in this
case indirectly) in mercury_imp.h.)
Document the macros controlling the debugging of deep profiling.
Enable printing of label names when the relevant deep profiling
debugging macro is set.
runtime/mercury_debug.c:
runtime/mercury_deep_rec_depth_actions.h:
runtime/mercury_deep_rec_depth_body.h:
runtime/mercury_exception_catch_body.h:
Get to proc_statics via proc_layouts.
runtime/mercury_deep_call_port_body.c:
runtime/mercury_deep_leave_port_body.c:
Get to proc_statics via proc_layouts.
Allow the debugger to disable deep profiling in Mercury code that is
part of the debugger, not of the user program being executed.
Add some more assertions.
runtime/mercury_engine.[ch]:
Add a new debugging flag that controls at runtime whether we generate
a human readable Deep.debug equivalent to the binary Deep.data files.
(We already had a mechanism for controlling this at compile time,
but this isn't flexible enough.)
runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
Allow this new debugging flag to be set from MERCURY_OPTIONS.
runtime/mercury_deep_profiling.[ch]:
Respect this new debugging flag.
Update the hand-written proc_static structures representing the runtime
system.
Print out addresses of proc_layout as well as proc_static structures
when assertions fail.
Add a field to the measurement structure for exception port counts,
and write out this field with the other port counts.
Remove procedure id information from proc_static structures,
deep profiling now uses the procedure id in the proc_layout structure.
Add to proc_static structures fields that specify where, if anywhere,
the variables needed by exception.m to executed the exception port code
are in the procedure's stack frame.
Define a global flag that allows the debugger to disable deep
profiling in Mercury code that is part of the debugger, not of the
user program being executed.
Increase type safety by providing two versions of the function
for registering proc_layouts, one for the proc_layout structures
of user-defined predicates and one for unify, compare and index
predicates.
Fix a bug that occurs only if MR_DEEP_PROFILING_EXPLICIT_CALL_COUNTS is
defined (which it usually isn't): the initial call count was wrong.
runtime/mercury_deep_profiling_hand.h:
Fix a bug: the handwritten code saving deep profiling variables was
saving them in slots that didn't belong to the relevant stack frame.
Update to conform to the modified definitions of proc_static structures
and the fact that we now reach them via proc_layout structures.
runtime/mercury_exception_catch_body.h:
runtime/mercury_stacks.h:
Fix the other side of the bug in mercury_deep_profiling_hand.h
by reserving the right number of stack slots in the stack frames
of the various modes of exception__catch. Make it harder to make
the same bug in the future by getting the needed info from the
place in mercury_stacks.h that defines the structure of the relevant
stack frame.
runtime/mercury_proc_id.h:
Rename the procedure id structure fields referring to compiler
generated unify, compare and index predicates: they are not the only
compiler-generated predicates.
runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
Change procedure layout structures to allow them to be used for deep
profiling as well as for debugging, as described in the prologue above.
We don't need the capability to support label layout structures with
links to misnamed proc layout structures, and supporting it is
inconvenient, so delete the capability.
runtime/mercury_debug.c:
runtime/mercury_deep_profiling_hand.h:
runtime/mercury_layout_util.c:
runtime/mercury_ml_expand_body.h:
runtime/mercury_stack_trace.c:
runtime/mercury_types.h:
trace/mercury_trace_external.c:
Conform to the new names of the procedure id structure fields.
runtime/mercury_std.h:
Add some more arities for MR_PASTE for use in some of the modified
modules in the runtime.
trace/mercury_trace_internal.c:
Disable deep profiling actions in Mercury code that is part of the
debugger, not of the program being debugged.
scripts/init_grade_options.sh-subr:
scripts/parse_grade_options.sh-subr:
Make changes parallel to the ones in runtime/mercury_grade.h: delete
--stack-trace as an independent option, and make --debug set its
own option, not --require-tracing.
scripts/canonical_grade.sh-subr:
scripts/final_grade_options.sh-subr:
scripts/c2init.in:
scripts/mgnuc.in:
scripts/ml.in:
Conform to the changes in grade options for debugging and for deep
profiling.
tools/bootcheck:
If Mmake.stage.{browser,deep,library,runtime,trace}.params exist,
copy them to become the file Mmake.$dir.params in stage2/$dir
(where dir is derived from the name of the original file in the obvious
way). This allows more flexibility in the creation of the stage2;
for example, it allows some directories (e.g. runtime or library)
to be compiled with more debugging than other directories (e.g.
compiler). This may be required because compiling all directories
with lots of debugging may cause the linker to thrash.
Add an option, --disable-debug-libs, that clobbers the libraries
that should be linked in only in debugging grades.
To conserve disk space, remove Deep.data files created by the bootcheck
by default. Add an option, --keep-deep-data, to preserve these files.
Use a consistent mechanism (test -f) for testing the existence of
all files whose existence is tested.
When recording modification times, record the modification times
of some more files.
tests/hard_coded/Mmakefile:
In deep profiling grades, disable the test cases that we don't now
pass in such grades, and document the reasons for their failure.
Fix the misclassification of the write_binary test case.
