runtime/*.[ch]:
trace/*.[chyl]:
    As above. In some places, improve comments, e.g. by expanding contractions
    such as "we've". Add #ifndef guards against double inclusion around
    the trace/*.h files that did not already have them.

tools/*:
    Make the corresponding changes in shell scripts that generate .[ch] files
    in the runtime.

9ec86d6a6d The objective of this diff is to switch from a table of solver events built
Estimated hours taken: 32
Branches: main

The objective of this diff is to switch from a table of solver events built
into the compiler (and eventually the debugger) into a table of events
defined by a file provided by the user to the compiler, which the compiler
then records in the executable for use by the debugger.

The current design, for speed of implementation, uses temporary files parsed
by a bison-generated parser. Since the compiler needs to be able to invoke
the parser even if it is compiled in a non-debug grade, the parser is in
a new library, the eventspec library, that is always linked into the Mercury
compiler and is always linked into any Mercury program with debugging enabled
(but is of course linked only once into a Mercury compiler which has debugging
enabled).

Modify the debugger to give it the ability to print the attributes of
user-defined events (for now, only the non-synthesized attributes).
Implement a new debugger command, "user", which goes to the next user-defined
event.

configure.in:
	Require flex and and bison to be available.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document user defined events and the new debugger capabilities.

doc/mdb_categories:
	Include "user" in the list of forward movement commands.

	Fix some earlier omissions in that list.

runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
	Include an event number in the user-defined event structure.

	Include a string representing an event set specification in module
	layout structures.

runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
runtime/mercury_trace_base.[ch]:
runtime/mercury_types.h
	Switch from solver events to user events in names.

runtime/mercury_trace_term.[ch]:
	Provide a representation of flat terms, for use in representing
	the calls that generate synthesized attributes.

	Ensure that exported field names have an MR_ prefix.

browser/cterm.m:
	Conform to the change to runtime/mercury_trace_term.h.

scripts/c2init.in:
scripts/ml.in:
	Include the eventspec library in programs compiled with debugging
	enabled.

compiler/Mmakefile:
	Include the eventspec library in the compiler.

compiler/options.m:
	Add a new option, --event-spec-file-name, that allows the user to
	specify the set of user-defined events the program may use.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Set this optimization from an environment variable (which may be
	set by the mmc script) if the new option is not explicitly given.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Define the data structures for the compiler's representation of the
	event set specification.

	Move some definitions around to group them more logically.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Include the event set specification as a new field in the module_info.

compiler/prog_event.m:
	Add the code for invoking the parser in the eventspec library,
	and for converting the simple term output by the parser to the
	compiler own representation, which contains more information
	(to wit, the types of the function attributes) and which has had
	a whole bunch of semantic checks done on it (e.g. whether synthesized
	attributes depend on themselves or on nonexistent attributes).

	Provide a function to generate a canonicalized version of the event
	specification file.

compiler/module_qual.m:
compiler/equiv_type.m:
	Process event spec specifications as well as items, to module qualify
	the names of the types of event arguments, and expanding out
	equivalence types.

	In equiv_type.m, rename some variables to make clear what kind of info
	they represent.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Process the event set specification file if one has been selected:
	read it in, module qualify it, expand its equivalence types, and add
	to the module_info.

compiler/compile_target_code.m:
	Include the event_spec library when linking debuggable executables.

compiler/call_gen.m:
compiler/continuation_info.m:
compiler/trace_gen.m:
compiler/trace_params.m:
mdbcomp/prim_data.m:
mdbcomp/trace_counts.m:
runtime/mercury_goto.h:
	Generate user-defined events instead of solver events.

compiler/layout.m:
compiler/layout_out.m:
compiler/stack_layout.m:
	Include a canonicalized version of the event specification file
	in the module layout if the module has any user-defined events.

compiler/code_info.m:
compiler/llds_out.m:
compiler/modes.m:
compiler/modules.m:
compiler/opt_debug.m:
compiler/typecheck.m:
	Conform to the changes above.

compiler/passes_aux.m:
	Rename a predicate to avoid an ambiguity.

trace/Mmakefile:
	Add the definition and rules required to build the eventspec library.

trace/mercury_event_scanner.l:
trace/mercury_event_parser.y:
	A scanner and a parser for reading in event spec specifications.

trace/mercury_event_spec_missing.h:
	Provide the declarations that should be (but aren't) provided by
	flex and bison.

trace/mercury_event_spec.[ch]:
	The main module of the eventspec library. Provides functions to read
	in event set specifications from a file, and to write them out as a
	Mercury term in the form needed by the compiler.

trace/mercury_trace_tables.c:
	If the module layouts being registered include event set
	specifications, then check their consistency. Make the specification
	and the consistency indication available to other modules.

trace/mercury_trace_internal.c:
	During initialization, if the modules contain a consistent set of event
	set specifications, then read that specification into the debugger.
	(We don't yet make use of this information.)

	Add an extra mdb command, "user", which goes forward to the next
	user-defined event.

trace/mercury_trace.[ch]:
trace/mercury_trace_cmd_forward.[ch]:
	Implement the new mdb command.

trace/mercury_trace_vars.[ch]:
	For user-defined events, include the attributes' values among the
	values that can be printed or browsed.

trace/mercury_trace_cmd_browsing.c:
trace/mercury_trace_declarative.c:
	Minor changes.

scripts/scripts/prepare_tmp_dir_grade_part:
	Copy the .y and .l files to the tmp dir we use for installs.

dd44e0ef62 Replace the "set" command of mdb with a bunch of commands: the `format',
Estimated hours taken: 16
Branches: main, release

Replace the "set" command of mdb with a bunch of commands: the `format',
`format_param', `list_context_lines', `list_path', `xml_browser_cmd',
`xml_tmp_filename', `fail_trace_counts', `pass_trace_counts' and
`max_io_actions' commands. Each of these set just one parameter
or one of set of closely related parameters.

Move all these commands, and some existing commands that set parameters
that were elsewhere, to the "parameter" command category.

Extend some of these commands so that if given no arguments, they report
the current values of the parameters they would otherwise set.

Replace the "set" commands of the mdb browser and of the declarative debugger
with a bunch of commands: "format", "depth", "size", "width", "lines",
"actions" and "params" (the last prints the current value of the parameters).

For each category of mdb commands, create files mercury_trace_cmd_<cat>.[ch],
and move the functions dealing with that category of commands there from
mercury_trace_internal.c. Give each of these new files a logical structure
that was sometimes missing from the relevant parts of mercury_trace_internal.c.

NEWS:
	Mention these changes.

doc/mdb_categories:
	Document these changes.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document these changes.

	Fix an old documentation bug: you couldn't set listing paramaters
	from a declarative debugger command.

	Fix an old documentation bug: the description of the goal_path step
	for scopes was obsolete.

	Fix some obsolete references to : as module qualifier.

browser/parse.m:
	Update the browser command set along the lines at the top.

browser/declarative_user.m:
	Update the declarative debugger command set along the lines at the top.

	Move the declaration for the type representing declarative debugger
	commands to near the top of the file.

browser/browser_info.m:
	Provide some access predicates.

	Update the predicate that generates mdb commands to save the persistent
	state of the debugger to generate the new forms of parameter commands.

	Move types and predicates for dealing with browser parameters from
	browse.m to here, so that declarative_user.m can use them too.

browser/browse.m:
	Delete the code moved to browser_info.m, and conform to the other
	changes in the other modules.

browser/listing.m:
	Provide a predicate to return the type of listing paths.

scripts/mdbrc.in:
	Update the commands that set the XML parameters.

scripts/Mmakefile:
	Get mmake to rebuild mdbrc from mdbrc.in when mdbrc.in changes.

trace/mercury_trace_internal.c:
trace/mercury_trace_cmds.h:
trace/mercury_trace_cmd_*.[ch]:
	Implement the changes described at the top.

	Fix an old bug: the commands that update the search path for the "list"
	command don't make the search path term permanent, which is needed in
	non-conservative-gc grades.

trace/mercury_trace_spy.c:
	Fix some obsolete references to : as module qualifier.

trace/mercury_trace_browse.[ch]:
	Delete the functionality now moved to mercury_trace_cmd_parameter.c.

tests/debugger/mdb_command_test.inp:
	Update the set of commands being tested.

tests/debugger/save.{inp,exp}:
	Update the parameter commands in this test case.
