Make these tests use four-space indentation, and ensure that
each module is imported on its own line. (I intend to use the latter
to figure out which subdirectories' tests can be executed in parallel.)
These changes usually move code to different lines. For the tests
that check compiler error messages, expect the new line numbers.

support tabling.
(The Makefiles in tests directory should prevent this, but in at least one
grade on neptune this isn't currently happening and it's rendering that
machine unusable - I'll fix the Makefile issue separately.)
tests/tabling/*.m:
Add require_feature_set pragmas to all the tabling tests to ensure
they aren't accidently run in grades that don't support tabling.

Branches: main
compiler/use_local_vars.m:
Extend this optimization to handle temporaries being both defined in
and used by foreign_proc_code instructions. This should eliminate
unnecessary accesses to the MR_fake_reg array, and thus speed up
programs that use foreign code a lot, including typeclass- and
tabling-intensive programs, since those features are implemented using
inline foreign code. I/O intensive should also benefit, but not much,
since the cost of the I/O itself overwhelms the cost of the
MR_fake_reg accesses.
Group together the LLDS instructions that are handled similarly.
Factor out some common code.
compiler/opt_util.m:
Allow for the fact that foreign_proc_codes can now refer to
temporaries.
compiler/opt_debug.m:
Print more useful information about foreign_proc_code components.
compiler/prog_data.m:
Rename the types and function symbols of the recently added
foreign_proc attributes to avoid clashing with the keywords
representing them in source code.
Add a new foreign_proc attribute, proc_may_duplicate that governs
whether the body of foreign code is allowed to be duplicated.
compiler/table_gen.m:
Include does_not_affect_liveness among the annotations for the
foreign_proc calls generated by this module. Some of these procedures
affect memory beyond their arguments, but that memory is in tables,
not in unlisted registers.
Allow some of the smaller code fragments generated by this module
to be duplicated.
compiler/inlining.m:
Respect the may_not_duplicate foreign_proc attribute.
compiler/pragma_c_gen.m:
Transmit any annotations about liveness from the HLDS to the LLDS,
since without does_not_affect_liveness annotations use_local_vars.m
cannot optimize foreign_proc_codes.
Transmit any annotations about may_duplicate from the HLDS to the LLDS,
since with them jumpopt can do a better job.
compiler/llds.m:
Use the new foreign_proc attribute instead of a boolean to represent
whether a foreign code fragment may be duplicated.
compiler/simplify.m:
Generate an error message if a may_duplicate or may_not_duplicate
attribute on a foreign_proc conflicts with a no_inline or inline pragma
(respectively) on the predicate it belongs to.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
Fix some comment rot.

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
on that header file.
runtime/mercury_conf_params.h:
runtime/mercury_grade.h:
Include MR_MINIMAL_MODEL_DEBUG when computing the grade.
runtime/mercury_minimal_model.[ch]:
Add handwritten code to implement the predicates declared as external
in table_builtin.m.
Conform to the new names of the suspension and completion predicates.
Conform to the presence of debugging fields in tabling data structures
only if MR_MINIMAL_MODEL_DEBUG is defined.
Collect a lot more statistics than before.
Reorder some functions.
Instead of saving the whole generator stack each time, which the new
statistics showed to have O(n^2) behavior on some benchmarks, save only
the segment we need to save.
runtime/mercury_tabling.h:
Conform to the fact that loopcheck and memo predicates now have
separate sets of status values, and import mercury_tabling_preds.h.
runtime/mercury_tabling.c:
runtime/mercury_hash_lookup_or_add_body.h:
Move a huge macro out of mercury_tabling.c to the new file
mercury_hash_lookup_or_add_body.h for ease of editing, and modify it to
gather more statistics.
Make the statistics report easier to read.
runtime/Mmakefile:
Mention mercury_tabling_preds.h and mercury_hash_lookup_or_add_body.h.
runtime/mercury_wrapper.h:
Provide a mechanism (--tabling-statistics in MERCURY_OPTIONS)
that causes the runtime to print tabling statistics at the ends of
executions, for use in benchmarking.
doc/user_guide.texi:
Document --tabling-statistics. (Minimal model tabling is not yet
stable enough to be documented, which is why .dmm isn't documented
either.)

Conform to new goal paths in procedures transformed by tabling.
tests/tabling/*.m:
For tests which had predicate whose determinisms isn't compatible
with the evaluation method, change the determinism if possible,
and the evaluation method otherwise, if either is possible.
Bring these tests up to date with our coding guidelines, since they
may now appear in papers.
tests/tabling/Mmakefile:
Disable the tests whose combination of determinism and evaluation
method is no longer supported, and in which neither one can be changed.

test case failures.
tests/invalid/loopcheck.{m,err_exp}:
tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
Test that we get the expected error message for an invalid combination
of determinism and evaluation method. The new test invalid/loopcheck.m
is the old test tabling/loopcheck.m.
tests/valid/Mmakefile:
Use a more general pattern to test for minimal model grades,
now that we also use .dmm as a grade component.
