b51c742885 Allow the debugger to print higher order values and typeinfos, mainly by
Estimated hours taken: 50
Branches: main

Allow the debugger to print higher order values and typeinfos, mainly by
making the committed choice modes of the predicates in deconstruct.m to
deconstruct higher order values and typeinfos. (The non committed choice
versions will continue to return only placeholders.)

Having the debugger print typeinfos is occasionally useful but more often
it is just distracting. This change therefore adds a new debugger command,
"print_optionals", that toggles the printing of optional values. For now,
the only optional values are typeinfos.

NEWS:
	Mention the new capability and the new predicates in the library.

	Mention the predicates added previously that allow the caller to
	specify how non-canonical terms should be handled, since the change
	in their semantics that we anticipated when they were added has now
	happened, and their semantics should now be more stable.

browser/browser_info.m:
	Use the predicates in the deconstruct.m instead of std_util,
	to make the choice of noncanonical term method handling explicit.

browser/browse.m:
	When writing small terms using io__write_univ, explicitly use
	the same noncanonical term handling method as browser_info.m

library/io.m:
	Add predicates to retrieve the current input and output streams.

	Add versions of io__write_univ that specify the stream and maybe
	the method of handling noncanonical terms.

	Add a mode to io__write_list that allows the closure that prints the
	list elements to be cc_multi.

	All of these are for the new functionality in the browser.

runtime/mercury_ml_expand_body.h:
	In committed choice contexts, deconstruct closures as if they were
	ordinary terms, with the function symbol being the name of the
	predicate/function and the arguments being the terms stored in
	the closure.

	In committed choice contexts, deconstruct typeinfos as if they were
	ordinary terms, with the function symbol being the name of the type
	constructor and the arguments being the type constructor's arguments.

runtime/mercury_type_info.[ch]:
	Add a new function, MR_collapse_ctor_equivalences, for use by
	mercury_ml_expand_body.h.

	Delete a redundant function comment.

library/deconstruct.m:
	Document the changes in the behavior of the predicates defined in this
	module as a result of the change to mercury_ml_expand_body.h.

runtime/mercury_ho_call.h:
runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
	Add prefixes on structure field names that did not have them.

browser/dl.m:
	Add prefixes where needed by the changes to mercury_ho_call.h.

runtime/mercury_layout_util.[ch]:
	Remove the first argument of MR_materialize_closure_typeinfos, since
	its correct value is always the same part of the second argument.

runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h:
	Do not pass the first argument of MR_materialize_closure_typeinfos.

	Add field name prefixes where necessary.

compiler/modules.m:
	The mercury_builtin module is no longer part of the library.

compiler/pd_debug.m:
compiler/rl_analyze.m:
	Minor updates to avoid trying to take the address of io__write_list,
	since it now has more than one mode.

runtime/mercury_init.h:
runtime/mercury_wrapper.[ch]:
trace/mercury_trace_vars.[ch]:
	Add a parameter to MR_trace_browse_all_on_level that specifies

	Do not ignore predicates and functions anymore.

runtime/mercury_stack_trace.c:
trace/mercury_trace.c:
trace/mercury_trace_declarative.c:
trace/mercury_trace_external.c:
	Pass the new parameter of MR_trace_browse_all_on_level.

trace/mercury_trace_internal.c:
	Implement the "print_optionals" command.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document the "print_optionals" command.

tests/debugger/mdb_command_test.inp:
	Test the documentation of "print_optionals".

tests/debugger/higher_order.{m,inp,exp,exp2}:
	A new test case to exercise the ability to print higher order values.

	Note that the format of the predicate names in the output should be
	improved, but that is a separate change since doing it the right way
	requires bootstrapping.

tests/debugger/Mmakefile:
	Enable the new test case.

tests/debugger/nondet_stack.exp*:
	Update the expected output to reflect the fact that nondet stack dumps,
	being intended for debugging, include type_infos.

tests/debugger/tabled_read_decl.exp*:
	Update the expected output to reflect the fact that for maximum
	usefulness, the printing of I/O action atoms prints meaningful
	type_infos.

tests/hard_coded/deconstruct_arg.*:
tests/hard_coded/write_reg1.*:
	Expand these tests to check that we handle higher order values
	correctly not just when canonicalizing but also in committed choice
	modes.

13f0e7610a A large step towards declarative debugging of goals that do I/O.
Estimated hours taken: 40
Branches: main

A large step towards declarative debugging of goals that do I/O. This step
does everything needed for that except modify the declarative debugger itself;
that is for Mark to do.

If you give the new option --trace-table-io-decl, the transformation performed
by the compiler on I/O primitives will preserve not just the output arguments
of the primitive, so that the primitive can be "reexecuted" without performing
any side-effects, but also the input arguments and the identity of the I/O
primitive itself. The I/O table therefore will contain a list of the I/O
primitives executed by the program after I/O tabling is started.

You can test this via the new debugger commands "print action <action-number>"
and "browse action <action-number>".

The new option is currently not documented, because the declarative debugger
does not yet use the information it provides. The new debugger commands are
not documented because they are meant only for implementors, at least for
now.

Since this change adds a field to proc_layout structures, any workspaces
compiled with debugging enabled will need to do a cvs update when this change
is installed.

compiler/options.m:
	Add the option --trace-table-io-decl. When set, this causes the
	compiler to transform I/O action primitives to allow declarative
	debugging of I/O actions.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Make --trace-table-io-decl imply --trace-table-io.

compiler/table_gen.m:
	Perform the transformation, which is similar to the existing
	--trace-table-io transformation, but preserves the identity of all
	non-io-state arguments (not just the outputs) and the identity
	of the I/O primitive itself.

	Provide better names for variables generated by tabling
	transformations.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add extra parameters to procedures whose job it is to create new
	goals to name the variables in those goals.

compiler/layout.m:
	Add a new layout structure to contain the information the runtime
	system needs to interpret the information saved by the new
	transformation.

compiler/layout_out.m:
	Output the new layout structure.

compiler/continuation_info.m:
	Add a field to proc_layouts to point to the declarative I/O tabling
	structure, and another to identify the proc_layout without using LLDS
	types.

compiler/code_gen.m:
	Provide the definition of this field when appropriate.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add a field to proc_infos to store the information from the tabling
	transformation until code generation.

compiler/stack_layout.m:
	Add a mechanism for transforming the high level description of I/O
	action tabling data in proc_infos to the low level description we need
	to generate C data structures.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add a new cons_id and a new cons_tag; they are used to refer to I/O
	tabling structures in code generated by the new transformation.

compiler/*.m:
	Handle the updates to global data types above.

library/table_builtin.m:
	Modernize some old code.

	Fix an old off-by-one error: make I/O tabling use the first slot
	in the I/O action table.

library/varset.m:
	Add a mechanism for creating a variable that is named iff the caller
	has a name for it.

runtime/mercury_layout_util.[ch]:
	Add a function for materializing type parameters from an answer block,
	not from registers or a closure.

runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
	Declare a C type for the data structure holding information about
	I/O primitives transformed by --trace-table-io-decl, and add a field
	to proc_layout structures to point to these new structures.

	Add a new evaluation method for --trace-table-io-decl.

runtime/mercury_tabling_macros.h:
	Add some conditionally-compiled debugging code to the primitive for
	saving answers.

trace/mercury_trace_vars.[ch]:
	Add functions for printing I/O action goals.

trace/mercury_trace_internal.c:
	Add code for recognizing and implementing commands to print I/O
	action goals.

trace/mercury_trace.c:
	Add code for handling the new eval method.

tests/debugger/tabled_read.{m,inp,exp*}:
	Add a polymorphic I/O action primitive, add calls to it, and test
	the printing of both monomorphic and polymorphic action goals.

tests/debugger/tabled_read_decl.{m,inp,exp*,data}:
	A new test case. It does the same things as the new version of
	tabled_read, but it is compiled with --trace-table-io-decl, not
	just --trace-table-io. It therefore can (and does) test the printing
	of tabled I/O actions.

tests/debugger/Mmakefile:
	Add the new test case.
