tests/tabling/fast_loose.m:
Reset memo tables between before each trial. Results left in the
memo tables from previous trials cause subsequent trials to run
faster than they otherwise would, making it harder to detect a
difference in run time between strict and fast-loose tabling.
The program ends up trying bigger and bigger numbers, inflating the
memo tables, and possibly running out of heap or stack space.
This first step deals with the consequences of such removal.
The removal itself will happen in stage 2. That step will
add "is" to the prolog module in the library.

tests/hard_coded/shift_test.{m,exp}:
Most of this test case tested the now-deleted legacy shift operations.
Replace these with tests of their non-legacy versions, including
testing for the expected exceptions.
tests/hard_coded/shift_test.{m,exp}:
Don't pass --no-warn-obsolete when compiling shift_test.m anymore.
My commit afe2887882 broke the ability
to run the test suite outside of a bootcheck by executing "mmake runtests"
in the tests directory. This diff fixes that.
tests/Mmake.common:
Don't define "TESTS_DIR = ..". While every single tests/*/Mmakefile
defined it as such, I overlooked the fact that tests/Mmakefile itself
defined it ".", referring to the same directory from a different starting
point. Document this easily-overlooked fact.
Rename the old runtests target, which after afe2887 runs the tests
in a single directory, as runtests_dir, to leave the target name
"runtests" itself free for tests/Mmakefile to use.
tests/Mmakefile:
Define "TESTS_DIR = .", and add a target "runtests" which invokes
"mmake runtests_dir" in each test directory.
tools/bootcheck:
Invoke "mmake runtests_dir" instead of "mmake runtests" in each
test directory.
Initialize a variable just before it is used.
tests/*/Mmakefile:
Add back the definition "TESTS_DIR = .."
A long time ago, test directories such as hard_coded had subdirectories
such as hard_coded/typeclasses. These have since been flattened out
(e.g. hard_coded/typeclasses is now just typeclasses), but there were
still remnants of the old approach. This diff deletes those remnants.
tests/*/Mmakefile:
Delete the TESTS_DIR and the SUBDIRS mmake variables; TESTS_DIR
was always set to "..", and SUBDIRS to the empty string.
Delete any references to the make variable NOT_WORKING, since
it is never used.
tests/Mmake.common:
Document that Mmakefiles in test directories don't have to set
TESTS_DIR and SUBDIRS anymore. Fix the formatting of the documentation
of the make variables they do still have to set.
Delete the targets and actions for handling subdirectories of
test directories, since there aren't any.
tests/Mmakefile:
Simplify some code.
library/string.m:
Delete long-deprecated substring/3 function and substring/4 predicate.
The newly introduced `string_piece' type has a substring/3 data
constructor which takes (start, end) offsets into the base string,
whereas the function and predicate take (start, count) arguments.
To reduce potential confusion, delete the deprecated function and
predicate.
Delete other deprecated substring predicates and functions as well.

Disable warning about the infinite loop this test case tests
not by filtering out lines from the compiler output (which does not
work anymore due to the predicate name causing the warning to spill
onto a second line), but by simply asking the compiler not to generate
the warning.
Fix an old problem: the Mmakefile action for the loopcheck_nondet test case
was modifying a file that did not belong to it.
compiler/du_type_layout.m:
If the --allow-packing-remote-sectag option is set, then try to pack
an initial subsequence of subword-sized arguments next to remote sectags.
To allow the polymorphism transformation to put the type_infos and/or
typeclass_infos it adds to a function symbol's argument list at the
*front* of that argument list, pack arguments next to remote sectags
only in function symbols that won't have any such extra arguments
added to them.
Do not write all new code for the new optimization; instead, generalize
the code that already does a very similar job for packing args next to
local sectags.
Delete the code we used to have that picked the packed representation
over the base unpacked representation only if it reduced the
"rounded-to-even" number of words. A case could be made for its usefulness,
but in the presence of the new optimization the extra code complexity
it requires is not worth it (in my opinion).
Extend the code that informs users about possible argument order
rearrangements that yield better packing to take packing next to sectags
into account.
compiler/hlds_data.m:
Provide a representation for cons_tags that use the new optimization.
Instead of adding a new cons_tag, we do this by replacing several old
cons_tags that all represent pointers to memory cells with a single
cons_tag named remote_args_tag with an argument that selects among
the old cons_tags being replaced, and adding a new alternative inside
this new type. The new alternative is remote_args_shared with a
remote_sectag whose size is rsectag_subword(...).
Instead of representing the value of the "data" field in classes
on the Java and C# backends as a strange kind of secondary tag
that is added to a memory cell by a class constructor instead of
having to be explicitly added to the front of the argument vector
by the code of a unification, represent it more directly as separate
kind of remote_args_tag. Continuing to treat it as a sectag would have
been very confusing to readers of the code of ml_unify_gen_*.m in the
presence of the new optimization.
Replacing several cons_tags that were usually treated similarly with
one cons_tag simplifies many switches. Instead of an switch with that
branches to the same switch arm for single_functor_tag, unshared_tag
and shared_remote_tag, and then switches on these three tags again
to get e.g. the primary tag of each, the new code of the switch arm
is executed for just cons_tag value (remote_args_tag), and switches
on the various kinds of remote args tags only when it needs to.
In is also more natural to pass around the argument of remote_args_tag
than to pass around a variable of type cons_tag that can be bound to only
single_functor_tag, unshared_tag or shared_remote_tag.
Add an XXX about possible further steps along these lines, such as
making a new cons_tag named something like "user_const_tag" represent
all user-visible constants.

compiler/ml_unify_gen_deconstruct.m:

compiler/ml_unify_gen_util.m:
Implement X = f(Yi) unifications where f uses the new representation,
i.e. some of its arguments are stored next to a remote sectag.
Some of the Yi are stored in a tagword (a word that also contains a tag,
in this case the remote secondary tag), while some are stored in other
words in a memory cell. This means that such unifications have similarities
both to unifications involving arguments being packed next to local
sectags, and to unifications involving ordinary arguments in memory cells.
Therefore wherever possible, their implemenation uses suitably generalized
versions of existing code that did those two jobs for two separate kinds of
cons_tags.
Making such generalizations possible in some cases required shifting the
boundary between predicates, moving work from a caller to a callee
or vice versa.
In unify_gen_deconstruct.m, stop using uni_vals to represent *either* a var
*or* a word in a memory cell. While this enabled us to factor out some
common code, the predicate boundaries it lead to are unsuitable for the
generalizations we now need.
Consistently use unsigned ints to represent both the whole and the parts
of words containing packed arguments (and maybe sectags), except when
comparing ptag constants with the result of applying the "tag" unop
to a word, (since that unop returns an int, at least for now).
In a few cases, avoid the recomputation of some information that we
already know. The motivation is not efficiency, since the recomputation
we avoid is usually cheap, but the simplification of the code's correctness
argument.
Use more consistent terminology in things such as variable names.
Note the possibility of further future improvements in several places.

runtime/mercury_ml_functor_body.h:
These modules collectively implement the predicates in deconstruct.m
in the library, and provide access to its functionality to other C code,
e.g. in the debugger. Update these to be able to handle terms with the
new data representation optimization.
This update requires a significant change in the distribution of work
between these files for the predicates deconstruct.deconstruct and
deconstruct.limited_deconstruct. We used to have mercury_ml_expand_body.h
fill in the fields of their expand_info structures (whose types are
defined in mercury_deconstruct.h) with pointers to three vectors:
(a) a vector of arg_locns with one element per argument, with a NULL
pointer being equivalent to a vector with a given element in every slot;
(b) a vector of type_infos with one element per argument, constructed
dynamically (and later freed) if necessary; and (c) a vector of argument
words. Once upon a time, before double-word and sub-word arguments,
vector (c) also had one word per argument, but that hasn't been true
for a while; we added vector (a) help the consumers of the expand_info
decode the difference. The consumers of this info always used these
vectors to build up a Mercury term containing a list of univs,
with one univ for each argument.
This structure could be stretched to handle function symbols that store
*all* their arguments in a tagword next to a local sectag, but I found
that stretching it to cover function symbols that have *some* of their
arguments packed next to a remote sectag and *some other* of their
arguments in a memory cell as usual would have required a well-nigh
incomprehensibly complex, and therefore almost undebuggable, interface
between mercury_ml_expand_body.h and the other files above. This diff
therefore changes the interface to have mercury_ml_expand_body.h
build the list of univs directly. This make its code relatively simple
and self-contained, and it should be somewhat faster then the old code
as well, since it never needs to allocate, fill in and then free
vectors of type_infos (each such typeinfo now gets put into a univ
as soon as it is constructed). The downside is that if we ever wanted
to get all the arguments at once for a purpose other than constructing
a list of univs from them, it would nevertheless require constructing
that list of univs anyway as an intermediate data structure. I don't see
this downside is significant, because (a) I don't think such a use case
is very likely, and (b) even if one arises, debuggable but a bit slow
is probably preferable to faster but very hard to debug.
Reduce the level of indentation of some of these files to make the code
easier to edit. Do this by
- not adding an indent level from switch statements to their cases; and
- not adding an indent level when a case in a switch has a local block.
Move the break or return ending a case inside that case's block,
if it has one.

Pack consecutive enumeration arguments in discriminated union types into a
single word to reduce cell sizes. Argument packing is only enabled on C
back-ends with low-level data, and reordering arguments to improve
opportunities for packing is not yet attempted. The RTTI implementations for
other back-ends will need to be updated, but that is best left until after any
argument reordering change.
Modules which import abstract enumeration types are notified so by writing
declarations of the form:

Take argument packing into account when generating code for

Allow more kinds of rvals in assign_cell_arg. I do not know why it was
previously restricted, except that the other kinds of rvals were not
encountered as cell arguments before.
compiler/mlds.m:
We can now rely on the compiler to pack arguments in the
mlds_decl_flags type instead of doing it manually. A slight downside
is that though the type is packed down to a single word cell, it will
still incur a memory allocation per cell. However, I did not notice
any difference in compiler speed.
compiler/rtti.m:
compiler/rtti_out.m:
Add and output a new field for MR_DuFunctorDesc instances, which, if
any arguments are packed, points to an array of MR_DuArgLocn. Each
array element describes the offset in the cell at which the argument's
value is held, and which bits of the word it occupies. In the more
common case where no arguments are packed, the new field is simply
null.
compiler/rtti_to_mlds.m:
Generate the new field to MR_DuFunctorDesc.
compiler/structure_reuse.direct.choose_reuse.m:

Fix tabling of foreign enumerations. There are two problems: (1) the
original runtime support for tabling foreign enumerations was wrong since it
treated them like ordinary enumerations and (2) the runtime had got out of

generating code that hashed foreign enumeration values.
This diff replaces the original runtime support for tabling foreign

Make tabling statistics much more useful, and avoid core dumps while printing
them (thereby fixing bug #23 in Mantis).
runtime/mercury_tabling.h:
Expand the set of statistics we can gather about tabling (starting
to gather information about memory consumption).
Put the statistics into logical groups: enum functors, non-enum
du functors, hash tables, and the expandable table used for I/O
tabling. For du types and polymorphic types, we can gather different
statistics for different parts of a term. We used to use one field
to gather more than one related kind of count, but these are now
separated.
Group the MR_ProcTableInfo struct fields relating to statistics
into substructures. The substructures describing a call or answer
table have their own substructures giving the statistics about the
individual steps; put these in parallel with the descriptions of the
steps themselves.
Put those substructures into two-element arrays to allow them

Implement the runtime system for region-based memory management. This includes
the implementation of regions, region instructions and support for
backtracking.
Support for backtracking deals with preventing the destruction of backward
live regions and provides instant reclaiming of space in regions when

in rbmm_goal_info structures. The mechanisms are documented in the

Back out the (broken) support for tabling with foreign enumerations.

Branches: main
Add support for foreign enumerations to Mercury. These allow the
programmer to assign foreign language values as the representation of
enumeration constructors.
e.g.
:- type status
---> optimal
; infeasible
; unbounded
; unknown.
:- pragma foreign_enum("C", status/0, [
optimal - "STATUS_OPTIMAL",
infeasible - "STATUS_INFEASIBLE",
unbounded - "STATUS_UNBOUNDED",
unknown - "STATUS_UNKNOWN"
]).
The advantage of this is that when values of type status/0 are passed to
foreign code (C in this case) no translation is necessary. This should
simplify the task of writing bindings to foreign language libraries.
Unification and comparison for foreign enumerations are the usual
unification and comparison for enumeration types, except that the default
ordering on them is determined by the foreign representation of the
constructors. User-defined equality and comparison also work for foreign
enumeration types.
In order to implement foreign enumerations we have to introduce two
new type_ctor representations. The existing ones for enum type do not
work since they use the value of an enumeration constructor to perform
table lookups in the RTTI data structures. For foreign enumerations
we need to perform a linear search at the corresponding points. This
means that some RTTI operations related to deconstruction are more
expensive.
The dummy type optimisation is not applied to foreign enumerations as
the code generators currently initialise the arguments of non-builtin
dummy type foreign_proc arguments to zero. For unit foreign enumerations
they should be initialised to the correct foreign value. (This is could be
implemented but in practice it's probably not going to be worth it.)
Currently, foreign enumerations are only supported by the C backends.

My previous fix to dead proc elimination helped fixed some compiler aborts,
but a related problem remained.
The problem involved an unused procedure that was kept around so that the code
generator would create the table associated with it. Since the procedure was
unused, its body was thought to be unused too. If it contained a reference to a
procedure that wasn't referred to from anywhere else, that procedure would be
removed, leaving a dangling reference. This would cause a code generator abort.
We can't fix the abort by replacing the kept-around procedure's body with
"true", since that would cause a different code generator abort when moving the
(now unbound) output variables to their argument registers. We could avoid
generating any code for the procedure at all by e.g. marking it as
opt_imported, but this would (a) be inconsistent and (b) require special case
coding to still generate the table structure.
The fix is to generate the global variable used for tabling *independently* of
the procedure that enters things in the table.
compiler/hlds_module.m:
Add a field to the module_info (actually module_sub_info) that records
the information the backends need to create the global variables
representing call tables.
Name all the fields of the module_info and module_sub_info during
initialization, to make it easier to know where to add a new field.
Put the initializations of the fields in the same order as the fields
themselves.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
Keep only the info for I/O tabling in procedures, since such tabling
does not require defining a per-procedure global variable.
Since the info for the forms of tabling that *do* require a
per-procedure global variable are now divorced from the procedure,
change their definition to avoid storing prog_vars in them, since
those prog_vars would be separated from their varset. Instead, we
record their numbers and their names (both are used only for debug
support).
On the other hand, some info from the pred_info and proc_info are
to create the global variable; copy them into the data structure stored
in hlds_module.
Rename some fields to avoid ambiguities.
compiler/table_gen.m:
Continue to record information about I/O tabling in the proc_info,
but record information about other forms of tabling in the new field
in the module_info.
compiler/rtti.m:
compiler/hlds_rtti.m:
Move the functions for constructing and deconstructing rtti_proc_labels
from rtti.m (which is in backend_libs) to hlds_rtti.m (which is in
hlds); the definition of rtti_proc_label was already in hlds_rtti.m.
The move is needed to allow table_gen to put an rtti_proc_label
in the data structures it puts in the module_info.
compiler/hlds_out.m:
Print out the new module_info field, and conform to the change to
hlds_pred and table_arg_info.
Always print variable numbers for type variables in table_arg_infos.
compiler/continuation_info.m:
Make room for either kind of tabling info for a procedure.
(While the LLDS code generator doesn't need to know about the global
variable representing the call table in order to create it, it does
need to know about it in order to describe it to the debugger.)
Conform to the change in table_arg_info.
Rename some fields to avoid ambiguities.
compiler/proc_gen.m:
When generating code for procedures, do not try to create a
per-procedure tabling struct, but do fill in the slot describing it
in the continuation_info.
Add a predicate to define all the tabling structs in a module.
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
Call proc_gen separately to define all the tabling structs.
compiler/ml_code_gen.m:
As with proc_gen, define tabling structs directly from the module_info
and not when generating code from each proc_info.
(The code for handling each proc is now logically not contiguous;
I will address that in a separate change, to make the diff for this one
easier to read.)
compiler/dead_proc_elim.m:
Don't keep unused tabled procedures alive, since that leads to the
problem described up top.
Keep track of which tabling structs are live, but don't yet act on that
information, since some uses are hidden (for now).
Add conditionally compiled tracing code that helped me trace down the
problem.
Fix an oversight in the severity level of an error spec.
compiler/base_typeclass_info.m:
compiler/code_util.m:
compiler/deep_profiling.m:
compiler/ml_code_util.m:
compiler/proc_label.m:
compiler/type_ctor_info.m:

compiler/optimize.m:

compiler/stack_layout.m:
Conform to the data structure changes above.
doc/user_guide.texi:
Document 'Z' as the character in -D arguments that tells hlds_out
to dump the global structures needed for tabling.
Fix an old oversight: document 'S' as the character in -D arguments
that tells hlds_out to dump info about structure sharing.
compiler/handle_options.m:
Include 'Z' in -DALL -and -Dall.

Remove support for the reserve tag (.rt) grades.
These were only ever needed to support the implementation of Herbrand
variables in (older versions of) HAL.
NOTE: this change removes the .rt grade, the undocumented
reserve_tag pragma is unchanged.

Do not handle the .rt component. Rather than renumbering the
grade parts here I have documented that grade part 8 (formerly .rt)
is unused.

Fix some software rot that prevented I/O operations from working in mmos
grades. The problem was the change to the I/O module to make it use thread
local storage via a new field of the MR_Context structure which was accessed
via the MR_eng_this_context field of the engine, instead of via the
MR_eng_context field. The new field was not set by the code for initializing
the contexts used by own stack minimal model tabling.
runtime/mercury_context.h:
runtime/mercury_engine.h:
Add significant new documentation about how fields of the MR_Context
structure are accessed, both because the documentation is useful and to
make similar mistakes less likely in future.
Add a macro for use by own stack minimal model tabling.
runtime/mercury_thread.c:
Add a comment about a link to mercury_engine.h.
runtime/mercury_thread.h:
Convert to four-space indentation, and fix some formatting.
runtime/mercury_mm_own_stacks.c:
Add code for filling in the missing fields of newly created contexts.
runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
In own stack minimal model grades, set up the main context properly.
The previous code was based on a flawed understanding of the
relationalship between MR_eng_context and MR_eng_this_context.
tests/debugger/mmos_print.{m,inp,exp}:
Add a new test case (which we don't yet pass due to a problem with
formatting of mdb output) to test the fix. The old versions of the
compiler don't pass this test case, because the "p *" commands of the
debugger invoke I/O code in the Mercury standard library, which fails
with a segfault due to the thread local fields of generators' contexts
being uninitialized.
Note that the .inp aborts execution, because without the abort the
execution would go into an infinite loop since mmos grades don't yet
have code for detecting completion.
tests/debugger/Mmakefile:
Enable the new test case in mmos grades.
Fix inconsistent indentation.
tests/tabling/Mmakefile:
Do not try to execute minimal tests in mmos grades, since we don't pass
them yet, and the symptom is in many cases an infinite loop.

Improvements for bitmap.m, to make it useable as a general container
for binary data.
library/bitmap.m:
runtime/mercury_bitmap.c:
runtime/mercury_bitmap.h:
Specialize the representation of bitmaps to an array of unsigned
bytes defined as a foreign type.
This is better than building on top of array(int) because it:
- is better for interfacing with foreign code
- has a more sensible machine-independent comparison order
(same as array(bool))
- avoids storing the size twice
- has more efficient copying, unification, comparison and tabling
(although we should probably specialize the handling of array(int)
and isomorphic types as well)
- uses GC_MALLOC_ATOMIC to avoid problems with bit patterns that look
like pointers (although we should do that for array(int) as well)
XXX The code for the Java and IL backends is untested.
Building the library in grade Java with Sun JDK 1.6 failed (but
at least passed error checking), and I don't have access to a
copy of MSVS.NET. The foreign code that needs to be tested is
trivial.
Add fields `bit', `bits' and `byte' to get/set a single bit,
multiple bits (from an int) or an 8 bit byte.
Add functions for converting bitmaps to hex strings and back,
for use by stream.string_writer.write and deconstruct.functor/4.
bitmap.intersect was buggy in the case where the input bitmaps
had a different size. Given that bitmaps are implemented with
a fixed domain (lookups out of range throw an exception), it
makes more sense to throw an exception in that case anyway,
so all of the set operations do that now.
The difference operation actually performed xor. Fix it and
add an xor function.
library/version_bitmap.m:
This hasn't been fully updated to be the same as bitmap.m.
The payoff would be much less because foreign code can't
really do anything with version_bitmaps.
Add a `bit' field.
Deprecate the `get/2' function in favour of the `bit' field.
Fix the union, difference, intersection and xor functions
as for bitmap.m.
Fix comparison of version_arrays so that it uses the same
method as array.m: compare size then elements in order.
The old code found version_arrays to be equal if one was
a suffix of the other.
library/char.m:
Add predicates for converting between hex digits and integers.
