b60c313f57 When processing a bi-implication, rename apart the local
Estimated hours taken: 0.5

compiler/quantification.m:
	When processing a bi-implication, rename apart the local
	variables in the goals duplicated when the bi-implication
	is converted into an implication and a reverse implication.
	Without this change, the alias branch code generator aborts
	during compilation of tests/hard_coded/quantifier2.m
	(the main branch code generator doesn't complain).

d551dd1dc9 Handle quantification analysis of bi-implication (`<=>') goals correctly.
Estimated hours taken: 10

Handle quantification analysis of bi-implication (`<=>') goals correctly.
Previously we used to expand bi-implications before doing quantification
analysis, which stuffed up the results of quantification analysis for
those goals.  We need to do quantification analysis first, and only
then can we expand bi-implications.  In addition, elimination of double
negation needs to come after expansion of bi-implication, so I moved
that from make_hlds.m to purity.m.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add a new alternative to the HLDS goal type for bi-implications.
        Also add a new predicate negate_goal, for use by purity.m.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Don't expand bi-implication here, instead just use the new
	bi_implication/2 HLDS goal type.
	Don't eliminated double negation here.

compiler/quantification.m:
	Handle quantification for bi-implications.
	Expand bi-implications.

compiler/purity.m:
	Eliminate double negation.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Add code to print out bi-implication goals.

compiler/*.m:
	Trivial changes to handle the new bi_implication/2
	alternative in the HLDS goal type.

	Document the above changes.

2725b1a331 Aditi update syntax, type and mode checking.
Estimated hours taken: 220

Aditi update syntax, type and mode checking.

Change the hlds_goal for constructions in preparation for
structure reuse to avoid making multiple conflicting changes.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Merge `higher_order_call' and `class_method_call' into a single
	`generic_call' goal type. This also has alternatives for the
	various Aditi builtins for which type declarations can't
	be written.

	Remove the argument types field from higher-order/class method calls.
	It wasn't used often, and wasn't updated by optimizations
	such as inlining. The types can be obtained from the vartypes
	field of the proc_info.

	Add a `lambda_eval_method' field to lambda_goals.

	Add a field to constructions to identify which RL code fragment should
	be used for an top-down Aditi closure.

	Add fields to constructions to hold structure reuse information.
	This is currently ignored -- the changes to implement structure
	reuse will be committed to the alias branch.
	This is included here to avoid lots of CVS conflicts caused by
	changing the definition of `hlds_goal' twice.

	Add a field to `some' goals to specify whether the quantification
	can be removed. This is used to make it easier to ensure that
	indexes are used for updates.

	Add a field to lambda_goals to describe whether the modes were
	guessed by the compiler and may need fixing up after typechecking
	works out the argument types.

	Add predicate `hlds_goal__generic_call_id' to work out a call_id
	for a generic call for use in error messages.

compiler/purity.m:
compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	Fill in the modes of Aditi builtin calls and closure constructions.
	This needs to know which are the `aditi__state' arguments, so
	it must be done after typechecking.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Added `:- type sym_name_and_arity ---> sym_name/arity'.

	Add a type `lambda_eval_method', which describes how a closure
	is to be executed. The alternatives are normal Mercury execution,
	bottom-up execution by Aditi and top-down execution by Aditi.

compiler/prog_out.m:
	Add predicate `prog_out__write_sym_name_and_arity', which
	replaces duplicated inline code in a few places.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add a `lambda_eval_method' field to `pred_const' cons_ids and
	`pred_closure_tag' cons_tags.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Remove type `pred_call_id', replace it with type `simple_call_id',
	which combines a `pred_or_func' and a `sym_name_and_arity'.

	Add a type `call_id' which describes all the different types of call,
	including normal calls, higher-order and class-method calls
	and Aditi builtins.

	Add `aditi_top_down' to the type `marker'.

	Remove `aditi_interface' from type `marker'. Interfacing to
	Aditi predicates is now handled by `generic_call' hlds_goals.

	Add a type `rl_exprn_id' which identifies a predicate to
	be executed top-down by Aditi.
	Add a `maybe(rl_exprn_id)'  field to type `proc_info'.

	Add predicate `adjust_func_arity' to convert between the arity
	of a function to its arity as a predicate.

	Add predicates `get_state_args' and `get_state_args_det' to
	extract the DCG state arguments from an argument list.

	Add predicate `pred_info_get_call_id' to get a `simple_call_id'
	for a predicate for use in error messages.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Write the new representation for call_ids.

	Add a predicate `hlds_out__write_call_arg_id' which
	replaces similar code in mode_errors.m and typecheck.m.

compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
	Add support for `aditi_bottom_up' and `aditi_top_down' annotations
	on pred expressions.

compiler/prog_io_util.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Add predicates
	- `prog_io_util:parse_name_and_arity' to parse `SymName/Arity'
		(moved from prog_io_pragma.m).
	- `prog_io_util:parse_pred_or_func_name_and_arity to parse
		`pred SymName/Arity' or `func SymName/Arity'.
	- `prog_io_util:parse_pred_or_func_and_args' to parse terms resembling
		a clause head (moved from prog_io_pragma.m).

compiler/type_util.m:
	Add support for `aditi_bottom_up' and `aditi_top_down' annotations
	on higher-order types.

	Add predicates `construct_higher_order_type',
	`construct_higher_order_pred_type' and
	`construct_higher_order_func_type' to avoid some code duplication.

compiler/mode_util.m:
	Add predicate `unused_mode/1', which returns `builtin:unused'.
	Add functions `aditi_di_mode/0', `aditi_ui_mode/0' and
	`aditi_uo_mode/0' which return `in', `in', and `out', but will
	be changed to return `di', `ui' and `uo' when alias tracking
	is implemented.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Add predicate `goal_util__generic_call_vars' which returns
	any arguments to a generic_call which are not in the argument list,
	for example the closure passed to a higher-order call or
	the typeclass_info for a class method call.

compiler/llds.m:
compiler/exprn_aux.m:
compiler/dupelim.m:
compiler/llds_out.m:
compiler/opt_debug.m:
	Add builtin labels for the Aditi update operations.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Add predicate predicate_table_search_pf_sym, used for finding
	possible matches for a call with the wrong number of arguments.

compiler/intermod.m:
	Don't write predicates which build `aditi_top_down' goals,
	because there is currently no way to tell importing modules
	which RL code fragment to use.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Obey the `cannot_remove' field of explicit quantification goals.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Parse Aditi updates.

	Don't typecheck clauses for which syntax errors in Aditi updates
	are found - this avoids spurious "undefined predicate `aditi_insert/3'"
	errors.

	Factor out some common code to handle terms of the form `Head :- Body'.
	Factor out common code in the handling of pred and func expressions.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Typecheck Aditi builtins.

	Allow the argument types of matching predicates to be adjusted
	when typechecking the higher-order arguments of Aditi builtins.

	Change `typecheck__resolve_pred_overloading' to take a list of
	argument types rather than a `map(var, type)' and a list of
	arguments to allow a transformation to be performed on the
	argument types before passing them.

compiler/error_util.m:
	Move the part of `report_error_num_args' which writes
	"wrong number of arguments (<x>; expected <y>)" from
	typecheck.m for use by make_hlds.m when reporting errors
	for Aditi builtins.

compiler/modes.m:
compiler/unique_modes.m:
compiler/modecheck_call.m:
	Modecheck Aditi builtins.

compiler/lambda.m:
	Handle the markers for predicates introduced for
	`aditi_top_down' and `aditi_bottom_up' lambda expressions.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Add extra type_infos to `aditi_insert' calls
	describing the tuple to insert.

compiler/call_gen.m:
	Generate code for Aditi builtins.

compiler/unify_gen.m:
compiler/bytecode_gen.m:
	Abort on `aditi_top_down' and `aditi_bottom_up' lambda
	expressions - code generation for them is not yet implemented.

compiler/magic.m:
	Use the `aditi_call' generic_call rather than create
	a new procedure for each Aditi predicate called from C.

compiler/rl_out.pp:
compiler/rl_gen.m:
compiler/rl.m:
	Move some utility code used by magic.m and call_gen.m into rl.m.

	Remove an XXX comment about reference counting being not yet
	implemented - Evan has fixed that.

library/ops.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
doc/transition_guide.texi:
	Add unary prefix operators `aditi_bottom_up' and `aditi_top_down',
	used as qualifiers on lambda expressions.
	Add infix operator `==>' to separate the tuples in an
	`aditi_modify' call.

compiler/follow_vars.m:
	Thread a `map(prog_var, type)' through, needed because
	type information is no longer held in higher-order call goals.

compiler/table_gen.m:
	Use the `make_*_construction' predicates in hlds_goal.m
	to construct constants.

compiler/*.m:
	Trivial changes to add extra fields to hlds_goal structures.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Document Aditi updates.

	Use @samp{pragma base_relation} instead of
	@samp{:- pragma base_relation} throughout the Aditi documentation
	to be consistent with other parts of the reference manual.

tests/valid/aditi.m:

tests/valid/Mmakefile:
	Remove some hard-coded --intermodule-optimization rules which are

	in typecheck.m.

tests/invalid/Mmakefile
tests/invalid/aditi_update_errors.{m,err_exp}:

tests/valid/aditi.m:
tests/invalid/aditi.m:
	Cut down version of extras/aditi/aditi.m to provide basic declarations
	for Aditi compilation such as `aditi__state' and the modes
	`aditi_di', `aditi_uo' and `aditi_ui'. Installing extras/aditi/aditi.m
	somewhere would remove the need for these.

ec86c88404 Merge in the changes from the existential_types_2 branch.
Estimated hours taken: 4

Merge in the changes from the existential_types_2 branch.

This change adds support for mode re-ordering of code involving
existential types.  The change required modifying the order of the
compiler passes so that polymorphism comes before mode analysis,
so that mode analysis can check the modes of the `type_info' or
`typeclass_info' variables that polymorphism introduces, so that
it can thus re-order the code accordingly.

This change also includes some more steps towards making existential data
types work.  In particular, you should be able to declare existentially
typed data types, the compiler will generate appropriate unification
and compare/3 routines for them, and deconstruction unifications for them
should work OK.  However, currently there's no way to construct them
except via `pragam c_code', and we don't generate correct RTTI for them,
so you can't use `io__write' etc. on them.

4410479d58 Fix a bug that caused a variable not found error when compiling
Estimated hours taken: 1

Fix a bug that caused a variable not found error when compiling
library/term_io.m with intermodule optimization in my local version
of the Mercury compiler (which has various changes for existential types).
The problem was that when liveness.m calls requantify_proc,
quantification.m discovers that a variable is now local to a subgoal,
but leaves the instmap delta on the containing goal unchanged, still
containing a (now bogus) entry for that variable.
I think the same problem could occur without my existential types changes,
but constructing a test case to exercise this bug is difficult.

compiler/quantification.m:
	Ensure that the instmap delta is restricted to only contain
	entries for variables that occur in the goal's nonlocals.

5c955626f2 These changes make var' and term' polymorphic.
Estimated hours taken: 20

These changes make `var' and `term' polymorphic. This allows us to make
variables and terms representing types of a different type to those
representing program terms and those representing insts.

These changes do not *fix* any existing problems (for instance
there was a messy conflation of program variables and inst variables,
and where necessary I've just called varset__init(InstVarSet) with
an XXX comment).

NEWS:
	Mention the changes to the standard library.

library/term.m:
	Make term, var and var_supply polymorphic.
	Add new predicates:
		term__generic_term/1
		term__coerce/2
		term__coerce_var/2
		term__coerce_var_supply/2

library/varset.m:
	Make varset polymorphic.
	Add the new predicate:
		varset__coerce/2

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Introduce type equivalences for the different kinds of
	vars, terms, and varsets that we use (tvar and tvarset
	were already there but have been changed to use the
	polymorphic var and term).

	Also change the various kinds of items to use the appropriate
	kinds of var/varset.

	Thousands of boring changes to make the compiler type correct
	with the different types for type, program and inst vars and

11d8161692 Add support for nested modules.
Estimated hours taken: 50

Add support for nested modules.

- module names may themselves be module-qualified
- modules may contain `:- include_module' declarations
  which name sub-modules
- a sub-module has access to all the declarations in the
  parent module (including its implementation section).

This support is not yet complete; see the BUGS and LIMITATIONS below.

LIMITATIONS
- source file names must match module names
	(just as they did previously)
- mmc doesn't allow path names on the command line any more
	(e.g. `mmc --make-int ../library/foo.m').
- import_module declarations must use the fully-qualified module name
- module qualifiers must use the fully-qualified module name
- no support for root-qualified module names
	(e.g. `:parent:child' instead of `parent:child').
- modules may not be physically nested (only logical nesting, via
  `include_module').

BUGS
- doesn't check that the parent module is imported/used before allowing
	import/use of its sub-modules.
- doesn't check that there is an include_module declaration in the
	parent for each module claiming to be a child of that parent
- privacy of private modules is not enforced

-------------------

NEWS:
	Mention that we support nested modules.

library/ops.m:
library/nc_builtin.nl:
library/sp_builtin.nl:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Add `include_module' as a new prefix operator.
	Change the associativity of `:' from xfy to yfx
	(since this made parsing module qualifiers slightly easier).

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add new `include_module' declaration.
	Change the `module_name' and `module_specifier' types
	from strings to sym_names, so that module names can
	themselves be module qualified.

compiler/modules.m:
	Add predicates module_name_to_file_name/2 and
	file_name_to_module_name/2.
	Lots of changes to handle parent module dependencies,
	to create parent interface (`.int0') files, to read them in,
	to output correct dependencies information for them to the
	`.d' and `.dep' files, etc.
	Rewrite a lot of the code to improve the readability
	(add comments, use subroutines, better variable names).
	Also fix a couple of bugs:
	- generate_dependencies was using the transitive implementation
	  dependencies rather than the transitive interface dependencies
	  to compute the `.int3' dependencies when writing `.d' files
	  (this bug was introduced during crs's changes to support
	  `.trans_opt' files)
	- when creating the `.int' file, it was reading in the
	  interfaces for modules imported in the implementation section,
	  not just those in the interface section.
	  This meant that the compiler missed a lot of errors.

library/graph.m:
library/lexer.m:
library/term.m:
library/term_io.m:
library/varset.m:
compiler/*.m:
	Add `:- import_module' declarations to the interface needed
	by declarations in the interface.  (The previous version
	of the compiler did not detect these missing interface imports,
	due to the above-mentioned bug in modules.m.)

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/intermod.m:
	Change mercury_compile__maybe_grab_optfiles and
	intermod__grab_optfiles so that they grab the opt files for
	parent modules as well as the ones for imported modules.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Minor changes to handle parent module dependencies.
	(Also improve the wording of the warning about trans-opt
	dependencies.)

compiler/make_hlds.m:

	Ignore `:- include_module' declarations.

compiler/module_qual.m:
	A couple of small changes to handle nested module names.

compiler/prog_out.m:

	Replace many occurrences of `string' with `module_name'.
	Change code that prints out module names or converts
	them to strings or filenames to handle the fact that
	module names are now sym_names intead of strings.
	Also change a few places (e.g. in intermod.m, hlds_module.m)
	where the code assumed that any qualified symbol was
	fully-qualified.

compiler/prog_io.m:
compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
	Move sym_name_and_args/3, parse_qualified_term/4 and
	parse_qualified_term/5 preds from prog_io_goal.m to prog_io.m,
	since they are very similar to the parse_symbol_name/2 predicate
	already in prog_io.m.  Rewrite these predicates, both
	to improve maintainability, and to handle the newly
	allowed syntax (module-qualified module names).
	Rename parse_qualified_term/5 as `parse_implicit_qualified_term'.

compiler/prog_io.m:
	Rewrite the handling of `:- module' and `:- end_module'
	declarations, so that it can handle nested modules.
	Add code to parse `include_module' declarations.

compiler/prog_util.m:
compiler/*.m:
	Add new predicates mercury_public_builtin_module/1 and
	mercury_private_builtin_module/1 in prog_util.m.
	Change most of the hard-coded occurrences of "mercury_builtin"
	to call mercury_private_builtin_module/1 or
	mercury_public_builtin_module/1 or both.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Add llds_out__sym_name_mangle/2, for mangling module names.

compiler/special_pred.m:
compiler/mode_util.m:
compiler/clause_to_proc.m:
compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
compiler/lambda.m:
compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Move the predicates in_mode/1, out_mode/1, and uo_mode/1
	from special_pred.m to mode_util.m, and change various
	hard-coded definitions to instead call these predicates.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Ensure that the type names `type_info' and `typeclass_info' are
	module-qualified in the generated code.  This avoids a problem
	where the code generated by polymorphism.m was not considered
	type-correct, due to the type `type_info' not matching
	`mercury_builtin:type_info'.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	Simplify the code for check_instance_pred and
	get_matching_instance_pred_ids.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/modules.m:
	Disallow directory names in command-line arguments.

compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:

compiler/modules.m:
	Add a `--make-private-interface' option.
	The private interface file `<module>.int0' contains
	all the declarations in the module; it is used for
	compiling sub-modules.

scripts/Mmake.rules:
scripts/Mmake.vars.in:
	Add support for creating `.int0' and `.date0' files
	by invoking mmc with `--make-private-interface'.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document `--make-private-interface' and the `.int0'
	and `.date0' file extensions.

tests/general/string_format_test.exp:
tests/general/string__format_test.m:

tests/general/.cvsignore:
	Change the `:- module string__format_test' declaration in
	`string__format_test.m' to `:- module string_format_test',
	because with the original declaration the `__' was taken
	as a module qualifier, which lead to an error message.
	Hence rename the file accordingly, to avoid the warning
	about file name not matching module name.

tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
tests/invalid/missing_interface_import.m:

d0085d8119 Assorted changes to make the HLDS type and mode correct
Estimated hours taken: 45

Assorted changes to make the HLDS type and mode correct
after lambda expansion. The HLDS is still not unique mode
correct after common structure elimination.

compiler/det_analysis.m
	Make sure the inferred_determinism field of the proc_info is filled
	in correctly for imported procedures and class methods.

compiler/mode_util.m
	Fix a bug in recompute_instmap_delta_call to do with unreachable
	instmaps. This caused an abort a couple of months ago when
	compiling with --deforestation (not yet committed), but
	can't currently be reproduced.

compiler/hlds_pred.m
compiler/lambda.m
	Add a field to the proc_info to record which args_method
	should be used for this procedure. Procedures directly
	called by do_call_*_closure must be compiled with
	the `compact' argument convention to avoid the need to permute
	the arguments so inputs come before outputs.

compiler/lambda.m
compiler/higher_order.m
	Remove permutation of argument variables of lambda expressions
	so the HLDS is type and mode correct and mode analysis can
	be rerun. Otherwise, rerunning mode analysis will fail on
	tests/hard_coded/ho_order.m.

compiler/arg_info.m
	Added arg_info__ho_call_args_method which returns
	an args_method which can always be directly called by
	do_call_*_closure (`compact').
	Added arg_info__args_method_is_ho_callable to check that
	a given args_method can be directly called.

compiler/unify_gen.m
	Abort if a closure is created for a procedure compiled
	with the simple argument convention.

compiler/hlds_goal.m
compiler/lambda.m
	Mode analysis was not storing the non-locals list on which the
	uni_modes field of the construction of a lambda goal was computed.
	If the nonlocals were renamed, the sort order could change, and
	the non-locals could be incorrectly matched with the arguments
	of the introduced lambda expression, causing a mode error. The
	argument list is now stored.
	This caused rerunning mode-checking on tests/valid/lazy_list.m
	after polymorphism to fail.

compiler/*.m
	Fill in the args_method field of proc_infos with the value
	from the globals.
	Handle the extra argument to the lambda_goal unify_rhs.

compiler/follow_vars.m
	Remove code to handle complicated unifications, since
	they should be removed by polymorphism.m.

compiler/special_pred.m
library/mercury_builtin.m
	Make the uniqueness of the comparison_result argument
	of builtin_compare_* and the automatically generated
	comparison procedures match that of compare/3. Unique mode
	errors will still be introduced if polymorphism.m specializes
	calls to any of the unique modes of compare/3 and then mode analysis
	is rerun, since the compiler-generated comparison procedures
	only implement the (uo, in, in) mode. (This is not yet a problem
	because currently we don't rerun mode analysis.)

runtime/mercury_ho_call.c
	Remove code in do_call_*_closure to deal with the
	`simple' args_method. Since the output arguments no longer
	need to be moved, the closure call is now a tailcall.
	Remove some magic numbers.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m
	Avoid some aborts and mode errors when rerunning mode analysis,
	especially those resulting from not_reached insts being treated
	as bound.
	Avoid aborting on higher-order predicate constants with multiple
	modes if lambda expansion has already been run.

tests/valid/higher_order.m
        Add a test case for an abort in mode analysis when
	compiling with --deforestation (not yet committed),
	due to a predicate constant for a procedure with multiple
	modes.

tests/valid/unreachable_code.m
	Add a test case for bogus higher-order unification
	mode errors in unreachable code.

5013dd9c76 Implement nondet pragma C codes.
Estimated hours taken: 40

Implement nondet pragma C codes.

runtime/mercury_stacks.h:
	Define a new macro, mkpragmaframe, for use in the implementation
	of nondet pragma C codes. This new macro includes space for a
	struct with a given sruct tag in the nondet stack frame being created.

compiler/{prog_data.m,hlds_goal.m}:
	Revise the representation of pragma C codes, both as the item and
	in the HLDS.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Parse nondet pragma C declarations.

	Fix the indentation in some places.

compiler/llds.m:
	Include an extra argument in mkframe instructions. This extra argument
	gives the details of the C structure (if any) to be included in the
	nondet stack frame to be created.

	Generalize the LLDS representation of pragma C codes. Instead of a
	fixed sequence of <assign from inputs, user c code, assign to outputs>,
	let the sequence contain these elements, as well as arbitrary
	compiler-generated C code, in any order and possibly with repetitions.
	This flexibility is needed for nondet pragma C codes.

	Add a field to pragma C codes to say whether they can call Mercury.
	Some optimizations can do a better job if they know that a pragma C
	code cannot call Mercury.

	Add another field to pragma C codes to give the name of the label
	they refer to (if any). This is needed to prevent labelopt from
	incorrectly optimizing away the label definition.

	Add a new alternative to the type pragma_c_decl, to describe the
	declaration of the local variable that points to the save struct.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Output mkframe instructions that specify a struct as invoking the new
	mkpragmaframe macro, and make sure that the struct is declared just
	before the procedure that uses it.

	Other minor changes to keep up with the changes to the representation
	of pragma C code in the LLDS, and to make the output look a bit nicer.

compiler/pragma_c_gen.m:
	Add code to generate code for nondet pragma C codes. Revise the utility
	predicates and their data structures a bit to make this possible.

compiler/code_gen.m:
	Add code for the necessary special handling of prologs and epilogs
	of procedures defined by nondet pragma C codes. The prologs need
	to be modified to include a programmer-defined C structure in the
	nondet stack frame and to communicate the location of this structure
	to the pragma C code, whereas the functionality of the epilog is
	taken care of by the pragma C code itself.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	When creating a proc_info for a procedure defined by a pragma C code,
	we used to insert unifications between the headvars and the vars of
	the pragma C code into the body goal. We now perform substitutions
	instead. This removes a factor that would complicate the generation
	of code for nondet pragma C codes.

	Pass a moduleinfo down the procedures that warn about singletons
	(and other basic scope errors). When checking whether to warn about
	an argument of a pragma C code not being mentioned in the C code
	fragment, we need to know whether the argument is input or output,
	since input variables should appear in some code fragments in a
	nondet pragma C code and must not appear in others. The
	mode_is_{in,out}put checks need the moduleinfo.

	(We do not need to check for any variables being mentioned where
	they shouldn't be. The C compiler will fail in the presence of any
	errors of that type, and since those variables could be referred
	to via macros whose definitions we do not see, we couldn't implement
	a reliable test anyway.)

compiler/opt_util.m:
	Recognize that some sorts of pragma_c codes cannot affect the data
	structures that control backtracking. This allows peepholing to
	do a better job on code sequences produced for nondet pragma C codes.

	Recognize that the C code strings inside some pragma_c codes refer to
	other labels in the procedure. This prevents labelopt from incorrectly
	optimizing away these labels.

compiler/dupelim.m:
	If a label is referred to from within a C code string, then do not
	attempt to optimize it away.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Remove a now incorrect part of an error message.

compiler/*.m:
	Minor changes to conform to changes to the HLDS and LLDS data
	structures.

b4813457c9 A rewrite of termination analysis to make it significantly easier to modify,
Estimated hours taken: 60

A rewrite of termination analysis to make it significantly easier to modify,
and to extend its capabilities.

compiler/error_util.m:
	A new file containing code that makes it easier to generate
	nicely formatted error messages.

compiler/termination.m:
	Updates to reflect the changes to the representation of termination
	information.

	Instead of doing pass 1 on all SCCs and then pass 2 on all SCCs,
	we now do both pass 1 and 2 on an SCC before moving on to the next.

	Do not insist that either all procedures in an SCC are
	compiler-generated or all are user-written, since this need not be
	true in the presence of user-defined equality predicates.

	Clarify the structure of the code that handles builtins and compiler
	generated predicates.

	Concentrate all the code for updating module_infos in this module.
	Previously it was scattered in several places in several files.

	Put all the code for writing out termination information at the
	end of the module in a logical order.

compiler/term_traversal.m:
	A new file containing code used by both pass 1 and pass 2 to
	traverse procedure bodies.

compiler/term_pass1.m:
	Use the new traversal module.

	Clarify the fixpoint computation on the set of output supplier
	arguments.

	Remove duplicates from the list of equations given to the solver.
	This avoids a det stack overflow in lp.m when doing termination
	analysis on options.m.

	If an output argument of a predicate makes sense only in the absence
	of errors, then return it only in the absence of errors.

compiler/term_pass2.m:
	Use the new traversal module. Unlike the previous code, this allows us
	to ignore recursive calls with input arguments bigger than the head
	if those calls occur after goals that cannot succeed (since those
	calls will never be reached).

	Implement a better way of doing single argument analysis, which
	(unlike the previous version) works in the presence of mutual recursion
	and other calls between the recursive call and the start of the clause.

	Implement a more precise way of checking for recursions that don't
	cause termination problems. We now allow calls from p to q in which
	the recursive input supplier arguments can grow, provided that on
	any path on which q can call p, directly or indirectly, the recursive
	input supplier arguments shrink by a greater amount.

	If an output argument of a predicate makes sense only in the absence
	of errors, then return it only in the absence of errors.

compiler/term_util.m:
	Updates to reflect the changes to the representation of termination
	information.

	Reorder to put related code together.

	Change the interface of several predicates to better reflect the
	way they are used.

	Add some more utility predicates.

compiler/term_errors.m:
	Small changes to the set of possible errors, and major changes in
	the way the messages are printed out (we now use error_util).

compiler/options.m:
	Change --term-single-arg from being a bool to an int option,
	whose value indicates the maximum size of an SCC in which we try
	single argument analysis. (Large SCCs can cause single-arg analysis
	to require a lot of iterations.)

	Add an (int) option that controls the max number of paths
	that we are willing to analyze (analyzing too many paths can cause
	det stack overflow).

	Add an (int) option that controls the max number of causes of
	nontermination that we print out.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Use two separate slots in the proc_info to hold argument size data
	and termination info, instead of the single slot used until now.
	The two kinds of information are produced and used separately.

	Make the layout of the get and set procedures for proc_infos more
	regular, to facilitate later updates.

	The procedures proc_info_{,set_}variables did the same work as
	proc_info_{,set_}varset. To eliminate potential confusion, I
	removed the first set.

compiler/*.m:
	Change proc_info_{,set_}variables to proc_info_{,set_}varset.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Change the code to handle the arg size data and the termination
	info separately.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Change the internal representation of termination_info pragmas to
	hold the arg size data and the termination info separately.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Change the external representation of termination_info pragmas to
	group the arg size data together with the output supplier data,
	to which it is logically connected.

compiler/module_qual.m:
compiler/modules.m:
	Change the code to accommodate the change to the internal
	representation of termination_info pragmas.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Fix some documentation rot, and clarify some points.

	Document termination analysis.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document --term-single-arg and the new options.

	Remove spaces from the ends of lines.

library/bag.m:
	Add a new predicate, bag__least_upper_bound.

	Fix code that would do the wrong thing if executed by Prolog.

	Remove spaces from the ends of lines.

library/list.m:
	Add a new predicate, list__take_upto.

library/set{,_ordlist}.m:
	Add a new predicate, set{,_ordlist}__count.

tests/term/*:
	A bunch of new test cases to test the behaviour of termination
	analysis. They are the small benchmark suite from our paper.

	Enable the new test case directory.

7406335105 This change implements typeclasses. Included are the necessary changes to
Estimated hours taken: 500 or so

This change implements typeclasses. Included are the necessary changes to
the compiler, runtime and library.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Typecheck the constraints on a pred by adding constraints for each
	call to a pred/func with constraints, and eliminating constraints
	by applying context reduction.

	While reducing the constraints, keep track of the proofs so that
	polymorphism can produce the tyepclass_infos for eliminated
	constraints.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Perform the source-to-source transformation which turns code with
	typeclass constraints into code without constraints, but with extra
	"typeclass_info", or "dictionary" parameters.

	Also, rather than always having a type_info directly for each type
	variable, sometimes the type_info is hidden inside a typeclass_info.

compiler/bytecode*.m:
	Insert some code to abort if bytecode generation is used when
	typeclasses are used.
compiler/call_gen.m:
	Generate code for a class_method_call, which forms the body of a class
	method (by selecting the appropriate proc from the typeclass_info).
compiler/dead_proc_elim.m:
	Don't eliminate class methods if they are potentially used outside
	the module
compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Define data types to store:
		- the typeclass definitions
		- the instances of a class
		- "constraint_proof". ie. the proofs of redundancy of a
		  constraint. This info is used by polymorphism to construct the
		  typeclass_infos for a constraint.
		- the "base_tyepclass_info_constant", which is analagous the
		  the base_type_info_constant
compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Define the class_method_call goal. This goal is inserted into the
	body of class method procs, and is responsible for selecting the
	appropriate part of the typeclass_info to call.
compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add the class table and instance table to the module_info.
compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Output info about base_typeclass_infos and class_method_calls
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Change the representation of the locations of type_infos from "var"
	to type_info_locn, which is either a var, or part of a typeclass_info,
	since now the typeclass_infos contain the type_infos for the type that
	they constrain.

	Add constraints to the pred_info.

	Add constraint_proofs to the pred_info (so that typeclass.m can
	annotate the pred_info with the reasons that constraints were
	eliminated, so that polymorphism.m can in turn generate the
	typeclass_infos for the constraints).

	Add the "class_method" marker.

compiler/lambda.m:
	A feable attempt at adding class ontexts to lambda expressions,
	untested and almost certainly not working.
compiler/llds_out.m:
	Output the code addresses for do_*det_class_method, and output
	appropriately mangled symbol names for base_typeclass_infos.
compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Add constraints to the types on pred and func decls, and add
	class and instance declarations to the class_table and instance_table
	respectively.
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Add the check_typeclass pass.
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Output constraints of pred and funcs, and output typeclass and instance
	declarations.
compiler/module_qual.m:
	Module qualify typeclass names in pred class contexts, and qualify the
	typeclass and instance decls themselves.
compiler/modules.m:
	Output typeclass declarations in the short interface too.
compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add the "typeclass" and "instance" items. Define the types to store
	information about the declarations, including class contexts on pred
	and func decls.
compiler/prog_io.m:
	Parse constraints on pred and func declarations.
compiler/prod_out.m:
	Output class contexts on pred and func decls.
compiler/type_util.m:
	Add preds to apply a substitution to a class_constraint, and to
	a list of class constraints. Add type_list_matches_exactly/2. Also
	add typeclass_info and base_typeclass_info as types which should not
	be optimised as no_tag types (seeing that we cheat a bit about their
	representation).
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Add notes on module qualification of class contexts. Needs expansion
	to include more stuff on typeclasses.
compiler/*.m:
	Various minor changes.

New Files:
compiler/base_typeclass_info.m:
	Produce one base_typeclass_info for each instance declaration.
compiler/prog_io_typeclass.m:
	Parse typeclass and instance declarations.
compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	Check the conformance of an instance declaration to the typeclass
	declaration, including building up a proof of how superclass
	constraints are satisfied so that polymorphism.m is able to construct
	the typeclass_info, including the superclass typeclass_infos.

library/mercury_builtin.m:
	Implement that base_typeclass_info and typeclass_info types, as
	well as the predicates type_info_from_typeclass_info/3 to extract
	a type_info from a typeclass_info, and superclass_from_typeclass_info/3
	for extracting superclasses.
library/ops.m:
	Add "typeclass" and "instance" as operators.
library/string.m:
	Add a (in, uo) mode for string__length/3.

runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
	Implement do_call_*det_class_method, which are the pieces of code
	responsible for extracting the correct code address from the
	typeclass_info, setting up the arguments correctly, then executing
	the code.
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Macros for accessing the typeclass_info structure.

3ada434958 Fix a couple of bugs in the handling of implicit quantification
Estimated hours taken: 4

Fix a couple of bugs in the handling of implicit quantification
for variables in lambda goals.

compiler/quantification.m:
	(1) When implicitly-quantifying a lambda goal, the "lambda-outsidevars"
	    should be set to the empty set, so that variables occurring
	    only inside disjoint lambda goals are locally quantified
	    inside those lambda goals.
	(2) When quantifying conjunctions and if-then-elses, use both
	    the lambda outsidevars and the ordinary outsidevars when
	    computing the non-locals, rather than just using the
	    ordinary outsidevars.

tests/valid/lambda_quant.m:
	Add another test case for bug (1).
	There was already a tests in this module that was supposed to
	test this sort of stuff, but that test case happened to work,
	because the effects of bugs (1) and (2) cancelled out. :-(

27d156bbb5 Implemented a :- use_module directive. This is the same as
Estimated hours taken: 14

Implemented a :- use_module directive. This is the same as
:- import_module, except all uses of the imported items
must be explicitly module qualified.

:- use_module is implemented by ensuring that unqualified versions
of items only get added to the HLDS symbol tables if they were imported
using import_module.

Indirectly imported items (from `.int2' files) and items declared in `.opt'
files are treated as if they were imported with use_module, since all uses
of them should be module qualified.

compiler/module_qual.m
	Keep two sets of type, mode and inst ids, those which can
	be used without qualifiers and those which can't.

	Renamed some predicates which no longer have unique names since
	'__' became a synonym for ':'.

	Made mq_info_set_module_used check whether the current item is in
	the interface, rather than relying on its caller to do the check.

	Removed init_mq_info_module, since make_hlds.m now uses the
	mq_info built during the module qualification pass.

compiler/prog_data.m
	Added a pseudo-declaration `used', same as `imported' except uses of
	the following items must be module qualified.

	Added a type need_qualifier to describe whether uses of an item
	need to be module qualified.

compiler/make_hlds.m
	Keep with the import_status whether current item was imported
	using a :- use_module directive.

	Use the mq_info structure passed in instead of building a new one.

	Ensure unqualified versions of constructors only get added to the
	cons_table if they can be used without qualification.

compiler/hlds_module.m
	Added an extra argument to predicate_table_insert of type
	need_qualifier.

	Only add predicates to the name and name-arity indices if they
	can be used without qualifiers.

	Changed the structure of the module-name-arity index, so that
	lookups can be made without an arity, such as when type-checking
	module qualified higher-order predicate constants. This does not
	change the interface to the module_name_arity index.

	Factored out some common code in predicate_table_insert which
	applies to both predicates and functions.

compiler/hlds_pred.m
	Removed the opt_decl import_status. It isn't needed any more
	since all uses of items declared in .opt files must now be
	module qualified.

	Added some documentation about when the clauses_info is valid.

compiler/intermod.m
	Ensure that predicate and function calls in the `.opt' file are
	module qualified. Use use_module instead of import_module in
	`.opt' files.

compiler/modules.m
	Handle use_module directives.

	Report a warning if both use_module and import_module declarations
	exist for the same module.

compiler/mercury_compile.m
	Collect inter-module optimization information before module
	qualification, since it can't cause conflicts any more. This means
	that the mq_info structure built in module_qual.m can be reused in
	make_hlds.m, instead of building a new one.

compiler/prog_out.m
	Add a predicate prog_out__write_module_list, which was moved
	here from module_qual.m.

compiler/typecheck.m
	Removed code to check that predicates declared in `.opt' files
	were being used appropriately, since this is now handled by
	use_module.

compiler/*.m
	Added missing imports, mostly for prog_data and term.

e3471f333f Fix a bug in inlining of polymorphic pragma c_code procedures.
Estimated hours taken: 3

Fix a bug in inlining of polymorphic pragma c_code procedures.

The bug was that if the actual argument type has a specific type
of say `float', then the C variable for the corresponding formal
parameter will be declared to have type `Float', whereas without
inlining the argument type would have been polymorphic and so
the C variable would have been declared to have type `Word'.
Hence we need to keep track of the original argument types,
before any inlining or specialization has occurred, and use
these original argument types to determine how to declare
the C variables, rather than using the actual argument types
for this particular specialization.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add a new field to pragma_c_code goals, holding the
	original argument types (before any inlining or specialization)
	of the pragma_c_code procedure.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Initialize this field with the declared argument types for
	the pragma c_code procedure.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Update this field to account for the inserted type_info variables.

compiler/code_gen.m:
	Pass this field to pragma_c_gen.m.

compiler/pragma_c_gen.m:
	Use the original argument types field for the pragma variable
	declarations, rather than looking up the actual types of the
	arguments.

compiler/*.m:
	Trivial changes to handle new field.

compiler/live_vars.m:
	Comment out some code to avoid a warning about `fail'
	in the condition of an if-then-else.

Estimated hours taken: 12

The first half of a change to introduce nondet pragma C goals.
This half makes the necessary modifications to the HLDS; the next
half will modify the LLDS and emit it.

prog_data:
	Add a new pragma type for nondet pragma c_codes; these specify
	the names of a a bunch of variables to save across backtracking,
	and a list of label names to which backtracking may take place.

	Rename is_recursive to may_call_mercury, since this is a more
	direct expression of the meaning.

prog_io:
	Move much of the functionality to new files.

prog_io_dcg, prog_io_goal, prog_io_pragma, prog_io_util:
	New files, made up of pieces of prog_io.

hlds_goal:
	Add an extra argument to the pragma_c_goals to store the extra
	information present in the new type of pragma c_codes.

det_analysis:
	Take into account that the new type of pragma_c goal may have
	more than one solution.

goal_util:
	Rename variables in the new field of pragma_cs.

live_vars:
	Allocate stack slots to the saved variables in the new type of pragma_c
	goals.

make_hlds:
	Handle the new type of pragma_c goals.

bb2b816787 * Inter-module unused argument removal.
Estimated hours taken: 100

* Inter-module unused argument removal.

* Allow the user to specify which directories should be searched
for .opt files.

* Enhancements to simplify.m and common.m which will be useful for
partial deduction.

compiler/options.m
	Added and documented options:
	--intermod-unused-args to enable inter-module unused argument removal.
	--intermod-directory <dir>, same as --search-directory except used
		to locate .opt files.
	--use-search-directories-for-intermod - use the search directories
		for .opt files as well.
	--warn-simple-code - a flag to control the warnings produced by
		simplify.m so that they respect --inhibit-warnings.

compiler/unused_args.m
	Use the unused argument info from the .opt file.
	Clobber the dependency_info if any new preds were added.

compiler/hlds_module.m
	Added a field to the module_info to store unused argument
	information from .opt files.

compiler/prog_data.m
	Add :- pragma unused_args to hold unused argument information.
	This should only be used in .opt files.

compiler/make_hlds.m
	Build the unused_arg_info field in the module_info.
	Check that pragma unused_args only appears in .opt files.
	Fill in the non-locals field in the goal_info for the builtin
	stubs so that mode analysis computes the correct instmap delta.

compiler/intermod.m
	Read in the unused argument information for the current module when
	compiling to C. This is used to ensure that clauses are produced with
	the correct number of removed arguments (it may be possible to remove
	more arguments with the information from other modules).
	Fix a bug in the handling of module qualified function calls and
	higher-order predicate constants.

compiler/handle_options.m
	Handle --intermod-unused-args and
	--use-search-directories-for-intermod.

compiler/mercury_compile.m
	Run the entire front end and polymorphism (not just up to
	typechecking) when building the .opt file with
	--intermod-unused-args.
	Use the new interface to simplify.m, remove calls to excess.m
	and common.m.

compiler/code_util.m
compiler/llds_out.m
	When generating local code for a specialized version of a predicate
	from another module, put this module's name on the label to avoid
	link errors.

compiler/higher_order.m
	Don't add the originating module name to the name of the specialized
	version, since that is now done in code_util.m.
	Clobber the dependency graph so that inlining will work on the
	specialized versions in profiling grades (this will cause slightly
	slower compilation in profiling grades, something I need to fix).

compiler/simplify.m
	Merge a branching goal and an adjacent switch where the branches
	of the first goal contain extra information about the switched
	on variable of the second goal.
	Merge the excess assignments and common subexpression elimination
	passes into simplify.m.

compiler/excess.m
	The functionality of this module is now in simplify.m, but I'll
	leave it here for now.

compiler/instmap.m
	Added predicates instmap__bind_var_to_functor and
	instmap_delta_bind_var_functor to which take a var, cons_id
	and an instmap and adjust the inst of the var. This is used to
	update the instmap at the beginning of each case in a switch.
	Fix a bug in merge_instmap_delta where variables whose inst had
	information added in one branch of a switch, disj, or ite had that
	changed inst included in the instmap_delta for the entire
	branched goal.

compiler/mode_util.m
	Use instmap_delta_bind_var_to_functor in recompute_instmap_delta.
	Added predicate bind_inst_to_functor which takes a ground or bound
	inst and a cons_id and adjusts the top level of the inst to be bound
	to that cons_id. Other types of inst are left unchanged.
	Change recompute_instmap_delta so that the switched on variable of
	a switch is bound to the functor in each case even if the binding
	unification has been removed. Added a boolean argument to request
	recomputation of instmap_deltas for atomic goals.

compiler/modes.m
compiler/unique_modes.m
	Make sure that the instmap_delta for each branch of a switch
	includes the extra information added by the functor test.

compiler/common.m
	Removed the goal traversal. Leave preds to be called by simplify.m
	to optimise common unifications and calls.
	Warn about and eliminate multiple calls to a predicate with the same
	input arguments.
	Replace deconstructions of known terms with assignments to the output
	variables where this would not make more variables live at stack
	flushes.

compiler/follow_code.m
	Exported move_follow_code_select.
	Don't move follow code into erroneous branches.

library/string.nu.nl
	Added string__contains_char/2.

compiler/base_type_layout.m
compiler/special_pred.m
compiler/vn_order.m
library/mercury_builtin.m
	Removed duplicate calls.

doc/user_guide.texi
	Documented options.

tests/warnings/duplicate_call.m
tests/warnings/duplicate_call.exp
	Test duplicate call warning.

f23324f5fa This change fixes two bugs, in quantification and liveness.
Estimated hours taken: 10

This change fixes two bugs, in quantification and liveness. I made the changes
to the other files while trying to find them; they ought to be useful in
trying to find similar bugs in the future.

The compiler now bootstraps with agressive inlining enabled.

quantification:
	Fix a bug that switched two different accumulators of the same type
	when processing pragma_c_codes.

liveness:
	Fix a bug that could cause a variable to end up in both the post-death
	and post-birth set of the same goal.

options:
	Reenable inlining.

hlds_out, mercury_to_mercury:
	If -D v is given, include the number of each variable at the end of
	its name (e.g. Varname_20).

	The predicates involved (a few from mercury_to_mercury and many from
	hlds_out) now have an extra argument that says whether this should be
	done or not. (It is not done when printing clauses e.g. for .opt
	files.)

	The bug in quantification was causing the improper substitution of
	one variable for another, but both had the same name; such bugs would
	be very difficult to find without this change.

constraint, det_report, intermod, make_hlds, mercury_to_c, mode_debug,
mode_errors, module_qual, typecheck:
	Call predicates in hlds_out or mercury_to_mercury with the extra
	argument.

saved_vars:
	Thread the io__state through this module to allow debugging.

mercury_compile:
	Call saved_vars via its new interface.

	Fix an inadvertent use of an out-of-date ModuleInfo.

goal_util, hlds_goal:
	Minor formatting cleanup.

code_gen:
	Clean up the import sequence.

Estimated hours taken: 0.5

The only significant change in this checkin is that liveness.m now
tries to compute the best resume_locs for negations (it already did
for if-then-elses and disjunctions; leaving out negations was an
oversight in my earlier checkin).

The other changes are only syntactic:

I have removed the cont-lives and nondet-lives field from goal_info,
since they are not used anymore.

I have replaced the nondet-lives field in code_info, which is not used
anymore, with a follow-vars field, which is not used yet (but will be).

Some of the "read" access predicates in hlds_goal did not have "get" in
their name; I added them.

Estimated hours taken: 2.5

Switch from using a stack of store_maps in the code_info to govern what
goes where at the end of each branched structure to using the store map
fields of the goal expressions of those structures.

Fix variable names where they resembled the wrong kind of map(var, lval).

code_info:
	Remove the operations on stacks of store maps.
	Modify the generate_forced_saves and remake_with_store_map operations
	to take a store_map parameter.

	When making variables magically live, pick random unused variables
	to hold them, since we can no longer use the guidance of the top
	store map stack entry. This may lead to the generation of some
	excess move instructions at non-reachable points in the code;
	this will be fixed later.

code_gen:
	Remove the store map push and pop invocations.
	Modify the generate_forced_goal operation to take a store_map parameter.

code_exprn:
	Export a predicate for use by code_info.

middle_rec, disj_gen, ite_gen, switch_gen,
dense_switch, lookup_switch, string_switch, tag_switch:
	Pass the store map around to get it to invocations of the primitives
	in code_gen and code_info that now need it.

goal_util:
	Name apart the new follow_vars field in hlds__goal_infos.
	(This should have been in the change that introduced that field.)

common, constraint, cse_detection, det_analysis, dnf, excess, follow_code,
intermod, lambda, lco, liveness, make_hlds, mode_util, modes, polymorphism,
quantification, simplify, switch_detection, typecheck, unique_modes,

5d64b759db The main changes are
Estimated hours taken: 12

The main changes are

1	associating a name with the arguments of constructors

2	removing the follow_vars field from calls, higher-order calls
	and complicated unifications, since they are not used

3	merging the follow_vars and store_alloc passes, since they logically
	belong together

4	add a new module, lco, for detecting opportunities for last
	call optimization modulo constructor application; it won't
	actually apply the optimization until the mode system becomes
	expressive enough to handle it (this module detects 529 opportunities
	in the compiler and library)

5	make "-O3 --optimize-value-number" do the right thing; previously,
	it used not to apply value numbering because the vnrepeat option
	defaulted to zero

6	don't refer to .err2 files anymore; use .err instead.

prog_data:
	The list associated with each value of type "constructor" now
	contains not only the types of the arguments but their names as well.

equiv_type, hlds_data, hlds_out, make_hlds, mercury_to_{goedel,mercury},
mode_util, module_qual, shapes, type_util, unify_proc:
	Modify the traversal of type definitions to account for the names
	in the lists inside values of type "constructor".

prog_io:
	Parse argument names. An unrelated change is that we now
	check whether :- pred declarations give modes to some of their
	arguments but not to all, in which case we return an error.

hlds_goal:
	Remove the follow_vars field from calls, higher-order calls
	and complicated unifications.

*.m:
	Handle the new arities of calls, higher order calls and complicated
	unifications.

mercury_compile:
	Don't call follow_vars directly anymore, but do call lco if its option
	is set. Also flush the main output before a call to maybe_report_stats
	to prevent ugly output.

store_alloc:
	Call follow_vars directly.

follow_vars:
	Expose the initialization and traversal predicates for store_alloc.

lco:
	Find opportunities for last call optimization modulo constructor
	application.

passes_aux:
	Add a HLDS traversal type for lco.

optimize:
	Consider the vnrepeat count to be zero unless value numbering is on.

options:
	Set the default value of vnrepeat to 1.

modules:
	Don't refer to .err2 files.

Estimated hours taken: 4

Implement `recursive' and `non_recursive' pragma c_code declarations.
This allows the compiler to optimize cases when the C code
is known to not call Mercury code.  It's also necessary
to allow C code which modifies the hp register to work
(such code must be declared `non_recursive', otherwise
the registers will be saved and restored over it).
To make things bootstrap OK, the old pragma c_code declarations
default to `non_recursive'.

prog_data.m, hlds_goal.m:
	Add new field c_is_recursive to pragma c_code goals.

prog_io.m:
	Parse the new `recursive' and `non_recursive' pragma c_code
	declarations.

make_hlds.m:
	Pass the c_is_recursive field from the parse tree to the HLDS.

live_vars.m:
	For non-recursive C code, don't save variables on the stack.

	For non-recursive C code, don't save variables on the stack,
	don't mark the succip as needing to be saved, and don't

Treat higher-order predicate calls as a new sort of goal,
rather than as calls to the special predicate call/N, in order to
remove the fixed limit on the number of arguments and on the modes
for call/N.

Also, remove the restriction on output arguments preceding input arguments
in lambda expressions.

hlds_goal.m:
	Add new functor higher_order_call/6 to the hlds__goal type.

*.m:
	Handle new functor higher_order_call/6.

arg_info.m:
	Abstract things a bit more: the argument passing convention
	for a procedure may be affected by that procedure's types,
	modes, and code_model, as well as the arg_method.

follow_vars.m:
	Pass down the args_method, since it is now needed for figuring
	out the arg_info for unifications and higher-order calls.

follow_code.m:
	Treat complicated unifications in the same way as calls.

lambda.m:
	When creating lambda predicates, permute the arguments so

options:
	Add a new option, --branch-delay-slot, intended for use by mc on
	the basis of the configuattion script. It says whether the machine
	architecture has delays slots on branches.

	The setting of option should affect whether we set
	--optimize-delay-slots at -O2, but this doesn't work yet.

hlds_goal:
	Add an extra field to hold follow_vars infromation to disjunctions,
	switches and if-then-elses. I intend to use this information to
	generate better code.

66a5fbe65d Documented the changed interfaces to list, std_util and graph.
Estimated hours taken: 6

NEWS:
	Documented the changed interfaces to list, std_util and graph.

configure.in:
	Added the number of bytes per word (calculated as sizeof(void *))
	as a configuration variable.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Add an optional sanity check for ensuring that all variables in a goal
	get renamed in goal_util__rename_vars_in_goal[s].
	Also fixed a bug in goal_util__create_variables which was giving
	wrong names to some variables (which lead to very confusing hlds dumps).

compiler/excess.m:
	in the calls to goal_util__rename_vars_in_goals add the bool which
	indicates that we do not want to do the sanity checking operation of
	making sure that *all* variables get renamed.

compiler/inlining.m:
	in the calls to goal_util__rename_vars_in_goals add the bool which
	indicates that we do want to do the sanity checking operation of
	making sure that *all* variables get renamed.
	Also fixed up calls to goal_util__create_variables for the bug fix
	described above.

compiler/quantification.m:
	in the calls to goal_util__rename_vars_in_goals add the bool which
	indicates that we do not want to do the sanity checking operation of
	making sure that *all* variables get renamed.
	Also fixed up calls to goal_util__create_variables for the bug fix
	described above.

compiler/lookup_switch.m:
	changed lookup_switch to use a configuration option "word_size" to
	find out the number of bytes (and hence the number of bits) per
	word, rather than having a magic number.

compiler/options.m:
	added "word_size" for the number of bytes per word. Defaults to 4,
	but my next checkin will add a configuration parameter to mc.in.
	Don't port to any 16 bit machines in the next couple of days. ;-)
	also changed req_density to dense_switch_req_density and added
	lookup_switch_req_density for the minimum density of lookup switches.

compiler/switch_gen.m:
	changed req_density to dense_switch_req_density and
	lookup_switch_req_density appropriately.

library/graph.m:
	Add lots of comments.
	Fix the interface to make it more consistent.
	Fixed some bugs.

library/list.m:
	Added some HO stuff from philip:
		list__filter/3, list__filter/4
		list__filter_map, list_sort/3 (takes a cmp predicate).
	Moved the HO interface stuff into the interface at the
	top of the file.
	Removed list__map_maybe/3.

library/std_util.m:
	added a pair/3 predicate from philip for avoiding type ambiguities
	when using -/2.
	added maybe_pred/3.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	added documentation for the changes to the command line options.

Estimated hours taken: 10

hlds, hlds_module, hlds_pred, hlds_goal, hlds_data:
	Divided the old hlds.m into four files:

	hlds_module.m defines the data structures that deal with issues
	that are wider than a single predicate. These data structures are
	the module_info structure, dependency_info, the predicate table
	and the shape table.

	hlds_pred.m defined pred_info and proc_info, pred_id and proc_id.

	hlds_goal.m defines hlds__goal, hlds__goal_{expr,info}, and the
	other parts of goal structures.

	hlsd_data.m defines the HLDS types that deal with issues related
	to data and its representation: function symbols, types, insts, modes.
	It also defines the types related to determinism.

	hlds.m is now an empty module. I have not removed it from CVS
	because we may need the name hlds.m again, and CVS does not like
	the reuse of a name once removed.

other modules:
	Import the necessary part of hlds.

det_analysis:
	Define a type that was up to now improperly defined in hlds.m.

prog_io:
	Move the definition of type determinism to hlds_data. This decision
	may need to be revisited when prog_io is broken up.

dnf, lambda:
	Simplify the task of defining predicates.

llds:
	Fix some comments.

mercury_compile:
	If the option -d all is given, dump all HLDS stages.

shape, unused_args:
	Fix formatting.

Added file unused_args.m which warns about and removes unused arguments,
e.g. type_infos, from predicates. Added compiler options:
	warn-unused-args	- default on
	optimize-unused-args 	- default on

Added file higher_order.m which optimizes calls to higher-order predicates
where the higher-order arguments are known. Added compiler options:
	optimize-higher-order	- default on

compiler/unused_args.m
	New file.

compiler/higher_order.m
	New file.

compiler/code_util.m
	code_util__make_proc_label/4 - adjusted this so to take into account
	the fact that unused_args.m can remove arguments from special preds,

compiler/liveness.m
	A fix to a bug in the way this handles switches.
	Previously, if none of the cases of a switch contained the
	switched-on variable, the variable was put in the pre-death set
	and was clobbered before the switch. Without unused_args removing
	unused variables local to the switch, this never occurred.

compiler/mercury_compile.pp
	Added code to call unused_args.m.
	Added hlds dump stage 12 unused-args.

compiler/quantification.m
	Similar problem to that in liveness.m above.

Undo dylan's changes in the names of some library entities,
by applying the following sed script

	s/term_atom/term__atom/g
	s/term_string/term__string/g
	s/term_integer/term__integer/g
	s/term_float/term__float/g
	s/term_context/term__context/g
	s/term_functor/term__functor/g
	s/term_variable/term__variable/g
	s/_term__/_term_/g
	s/std_util__bool_/bool__/g

to all the `.m' and `.pp' files in the compiler and library directories.
The reason for undoing these changes was to minimize incompatibilities
with 0.4 (and besides, the changes were not a really good idea in the first
place).

I also moved `bool' to a separate module.
The main reason for that change is to ensure that the `__' prefix is
only used when it genuinely represents a module qualifier.
(That's what dylan's changes were trying to acheive, but `term__'
does genuinely represent a module qualifier.)

compiler/*.m:
	Apply sed script above;
	where appropriate, add `bool' to the list of imported modules.

97946d39be This commit included two groups of changes:
1. A bug fix and a new warning for quantification

	quantification.m:
		Fix bug in renaming apart of lambda goals: it used to
		sort the lambda variables.  Improve efficiency slightly.
		Add some comments for quantification__rename_apart.
		Use more informative variable names in a couple of places.

	quantification.m, make_hlds.m, mercury_to_mercury.pp, options.m:
		Add code to quantification.m to detect variables with
		overlapping scopes, and pass back a list of warnings.
		Add code to make_hlds.m to print out the warnings, if
		the new option warn_overlapping_scopes was enabled (as
		it is by default).  Add code to options.m and
		mercury_to_mercury.pp to handle the new warning
		option.

	common.m, cse_detection.m, follow_code.m, unify_proc.m,
		Add an extra argument `_Warnings' to calls to
		`implicitly_quantify_clause_body', as required by the
		above change.

	goal_util.m:
		Export the predicate goal_util__rename_var_list for use by
		quantification.m.

2. A (very incomplete) start to a new backend which will generate
high-level, debuggable C code.

	options.m:
		Add new option --high-level-C.

	mercury_to_mercury.pp:
		Handle new option.

	mercury_to_c.m:
		New file.

	llds.m, hlds_out.m:
		Export predicates for use by mercury_to_c.m.

f75693e80a The C interface.
The changes made allow declarations of the form:

:- pragma(c_code, predname(Varname1::mode1, Varname2::mode2, ...),
	"Some C code to execute instead of a mercury clause;").

There are still a couple of minor problems to be fixed in the near future:
If there is a regular clause given as well as a pragma(c_code, ...) dec, it
is not handled well, and variables names '_' are not handled well.

prog_io.m:
	parse the pragma(c_code, ...) dec.
hlds.m:
	define a new hlds__goal_expr 'pragma_c_code'.
make_hlds.m:
	insert the pragma(c_code, ...) dec. as a pragma_c_code into the hlds.
det_analysis.m:
	infer that pragma_c_code goals are det.
modes.m:
	convince the mode checker that the correct pragma variables are bound
	etc.
quantification.m:
	quantify the variables in the pragma(c_code, ...) dec.
code_gen.pp:
	convert pragma_c_code into pragma_c (in the llds).
llds.m:
	define a new instr, pragma_c. Output the pragma_c
hlds_out.m:
mercury_to_mercury.m:
mercury_to_goedel.m:
	spit out pragma(c_code, ...) decs properly

432eee8f1f Fix singleton variable warnings by deleting useless code.
code_exprn.m, modes.m:
	Fix singleton variable warnings by deleting useless code.

shapes.m, typecheck.m:
	Fix singleton variable warnings by renaming variables so that they
	start with an underscore.

make_hlds.m:
	Pass the context down into transform_goal_2, unravel_unification,
	insert_arg_unifications, and append_arg_unifications, so that
	the goal_info_context in the newly built HLDS is never empty.
	This is needed because the new warn_singletons uses the context,
	so it has to be valid.

unify_proc.m:
	Pass a term__context to unravel_unification (as required by
	above change).

quantification.m:
	Rearrange some comments that got shifted a dozen
	lines from the code they referred to.

vn_util.m:

	Make implicit quantification rename apart vars that
	are local to distinct scopes. This will help in the
	singleton variable warning pass once the latter has
	been changed to work on the HLDS.

	These changes also allow goals of the form:
		.... X ....,
		some [X] Goal
	which were previously not allowed.

cse_detection.m:
	A 1 line bugfix from Zoltan.

det_analysis.m:
	Rather than redoing quantification, construct
	a correct goal_info directly in det__disj_to_ite/3.

optimize.pp:

	XXX for you to read and remove if the fix is

	Fix the calls to implicitly_quantify_clause_body and
	implicity_quantify_goal.

	of names to variables is cheaper.

760b99015c Another big batch of changes for higher-order predicates.
This set of changes includes most of the work necessary for
mode and determinism checking of higher-order predicates.

prog_io.m:
	Change the syntax for lambda expressions: they need
	to have a determinism declaration.  Lambda
	expressions must now look like this:

		lambda([X::in, Y::out] is det, ...goal...).
				       ^^^^^^

	Note that both the modes and the determinism are mandatory,
	not optional.

hlds.m:
	Insert a determinism field in the lambda_goal structure.

hlds_out.m, inlining.m, make_hlds.m, modes.m, polymorphism.m, quantification.m,
switch_detection.m, typecheck.m:
	Modified to use lambda_goal/4 rather than lambda_goal/3.

prog_io.m:
	Add a new field to the `ground' inst, of type `maybe(pred_inst_info)'.
	We use this to store the modes and determinism of higher-order
	predicate terms.

code_info.m, inst_match.m, mercury_to_mercury.m, mode_util.m, modes.m,
polymorphism.m, shapes.m, undef_modes.m:
	Modified to handle higher-order pred modes:
	use ground/2 rather than ground/1.
	(Note that modes.m still requires a bit more work on this.)

llds.m:
	Add a new field to the call_closure/3 instruction to hold the
	caller address for use with profiling, since the C macros
	require a caller address.

dup_elim.m, frame_opt.m, garbage_out.m, live_map.m, middle_rec.m, opt_debug.m,
opt_util.m, value_number.m, vn_*.m:
	Modified to use call_closure/4 rather than call_closure/3.

mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Export mercury_output_det for use by hlds_out.m.
