543fc6e342 Change the way the typechecker iterates over the predicates of the program.
Estimated hours taken: 12
Branches: main

Change the way the typechecker iterates over the predicates of the program.
We used to do it by looking up each predicate in the module_info,
typechecking it, and putting it back into the module_info. We now do it
by converting the predicate table into a list, iterating over the list
transforming each pred_info in it, converting the updated list back to
a predicate table.

The original intention of this change was to allow different predicates
to be typechecked in parallel by removing a synchronization bottleneck:
the typechecking of a predicate now doesn't have to wait for the typechecking
of the previous predicate to generate the updated version of the module_info.
However, it turned out that the change is good for sequential execution
as well, improving the time on tools/speedtest from 11.33 seconds to 11.08
seconds, a speedup of 2.2%. On tools/speedtest -l, which tests the compilation
of more modules, the speedup is even better: 3.1% (from 32.63 to 31.60s).

	Implement the above change.

4ebe3d0d7e Stop storing globals in the I/O state, and divide mercury_compile.m
Estimated hours taken: 60
Branches: main

Stop storing globals in the I/O state, and divide mercury_compile.m
into smaller, more cohesive modules. (This diff started out as doing
only the latter, but it became clear that this was effectively impossible
without the former, and the former ended up accounting for the bulk of the
changes.)

Taking the globals out of the I/O state required figuring out how globals
data flowed between pieces of code that were often widely separated.
Such flows were invisible when globals could be hidden in the I/O state,
but now they are visible, because the affected code now passes around
globals structures explicitly.

In some cases, the old flow looked buggy, as when one job invoked by
mmc --make could affect the globals value of its parent or the globals value
passed to the next job. I tried to fix such problems when I saw them. I am
not 100% sure I succeeded in every case (I may have replaced old bugs with
new ones), but at least now the flow is out in the open, and any bugs
should be much easier to track down and fix.

In most cases, changes the globals after the initial setup are intended to be
in effect only during the invocation of a few calls. This used to be done
by remembering the initial values of the to-be-changed options, changing their
values in the globals in the I/O state, making the calls, and restoring the old
values of the options. We now simply create a new version of the globals
structure, pass it to the calls to be affected, and then discard it.

In two cases, when discovering reasons why (1) smart recompilation should
not be done or (2) item version numbers should not be generated, the record
of the discovery needs to survive this discarding. This is why in those cases,
we record the discovery by setting a mutable attached to the I/O state.
We use pure code (with I/O states) both to read and to write the mutables,
so this is no worse semantically than storing the information in the globals
structure inside the I/O state. (Also, we were already using such a mutable
for recording whether -E could add more information.)

In many modules, the globals information had to be threaded through
several predicates in the module. In some places, this was made more
difficult by predicates being defined by many clauses. In those cases,
this diff converts those predicates to using explicit disjunctions.

compiler/globals.m:
	Stop storing the globals structure in the I/O state, and remove
	the predicates that accessed it there.

	Move a mutable and its access predicate here from handle_options.m,
	since here is when the mutables treated the same way are.

	In a couple of cases, the value of an option is available in a mutable
	for speed of access from inside performance-critical code. Set the
	values of those mutables from the option when the processing of option
	values is finished, not when it is starting, since otherwise the copies
	of each option could end up inconsistent.

	Validate the reuse strategy option here, since doing it during ctgc
	analysis (a) is too late, and (b) would require an update to the
	globals to be done at an otherwise inconvenient place in the code.
	Put the reuse strategy into the globals structure.

	Two fields in the globals structure were unused. One
	(have_printed_usage) was made redundant when the one predicate
	that used it itself became unused; the other (source_file_map)
	was effectively replaced by a mutable some time ago. Delete
	these fields from the globals.

	Give the fields of the globals structure a distinguishing prefix.

	Put the type declarations, predicate declarations and predicate
	definitions in a consistent order.

compiler/source_file_map.m:
	Record this module's results only in the mutable (it serves as a
	cache), not in globals structure. Use explicitly passed globals
	structure for other purposes.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Rename handle_options as handle_given_options, since it does not
	process THE options to the program, but the options it is given,
	and even during the processing of a single module, it can be invoked
	up the three times in a row, each time being given different options.
	(It was up to four times in a row before this diff.)

	Make handle_given_options explicitly return the globals structure it
	creates. Since it does not take an old global structure as input
	and globals are not stored in the I/O state, it is now clear that
	the globals structure it returns is affected only by the default values
	of the options and the options it processes. Before this diff,
	in the presence of errors in the options, handle_options *could*
	return (implicitly, in the I/O state) the globals structure that
	happened to be in the I/O state when it was invoked.

	Provide a separate predicate for generating a dummy globals based only
	on the default values of options. This allows by mercury_compile.m
	to stop abusing a more general-purpose predicate from handle_options.m,
	which we no longer export.

	Remove the mutable and access predicate moved to globals.m.

compiler/options.m:
	Document the fact that two options, smart_recompilation and
	generate_item_version_numbers, should not be used without seeing
	whether the functionalities they call for have been disabled.

compiler/mercury_compile_middle_passes.m:
compiler/mercury_compile_llds_back_end.m:
compiler/mercury_compile_mlds_back_end.m:
compiler/mercury_compile_erl_back_end.m:
	New modules carved out of the old mercury_compile.m. They each cover
	exactly the areas suggested by their names.

	Each of the modules is more cohesive than the old mercury_compile.m.
	Their code is also arranged in a more logical order, with predicates
	representing compiler passes being defined in the order of their
	invocation.

	Some of these modules export predicates for use by their siblings,
	showing the dependencies between the groups of passes.

compiler/top_level.m:
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Add the new modules.

compiler/mark_static_terms.m:
	Move this module from the ml_backend package to the hlds package,
	since (a) it does not depend on the MLDS in any way, and (b) it is
	also needed by a compiler pass (loop invariants) in the middle passes.

compiler/hlds.m:
compiler/ml_backend.m:
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Reflect mark_static_terms.m's change of package.

compiler/passes_aux.m:
	Move the predicates for dumping out the hLDS here from
	mercury_compile.m, since the new modules also need them.

	Look up globals in the HLDS, not the I/O state.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Store the prefix (common part) of HLDS dump file names in the HLDS
	itself, so that the code moved to passes_aux.m can figure out the
	file name for a HLDS dump without doing system calls.

	Give the field names of some structures prefixes to avoid ambiguity.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Remove the code moved to the other modules. This module now looks
	after only option handling (such as deciding whether to generate .int3
	files, .int files, .opt files etc), and the compilation passes
	up to and including the creation of the first version of the HLDS.
	Everything after that is subcontracted to the new modules.

	Simplify and make explicit the flow of globals information.
	When invoking predicates that could disable smart recompilation,
	check whether they have done so, and if yes, update the globals
	accordingly.

	When compiling via gcc, we need to link into the executable
	the object files of any separate C files we generate for C code
	foreign_procs, which we cannot translate into gcc's internal
	structures without becoming a C compiler as well as a Mercury compiler.
	Instead of adding such files to the accumulating option for extra
	object files in the globals structure, we return their names using
	the already existing mechanism we have always used to link the object
	files of fact tables into the executable.

	Give several predicates more descriptive names. Put predicates
	in a more logical order.

compiler/make.m:
compiler/make.dependencies.m:
compiler/make.module_target.m:
compiler/make.module_dep_file.m:
compiler/make.program_target.m:
compiler/make.util.m:
	Require callers to supply globals structures explicitly, not via the
	I/O state. Afterward pass them around explicitly, passing modified
	versions to mercury_compile.m when invoking it with module- and/or
	task-specific options.

	Due the extensive use of partial application for higher order code
	in these modules, passing around the globals structures explicitly
	is quite tricky here. There may be cases where a predicate uses
	an old globals structure it got from a closure instead of the updated
	module- and/or task-specific globals it should be using, or vice versa.
	However, it is just as likely that, this diff fixes old problems
	by preventing the implicit flow of updated-only-for-one-invocation
	globals structures back to the original invoking context.

	Although I have tried to be careful about this, it is also possible
	that in some places, the code is using an updated-for-an-invocation
	globals structure in some but not all of the places where it
	SHOULD be used.

77a6a6c10c Implement several more changes that together speed up compilation time
Estimated hours taken: 16
Branches: main

Implement several more changes that together speed up compilation time
on training_cars_full by 12%, and also improve tools/speedtest -h by 7.2%
and tools/speedtest by 1.6%.

The first change is designed to eliminate the time that the compiler spends
constructing error messages that are then ignored. The working predicates of
prog_io_sym_name used to always return a single result, which either gave
a description of the thing being looked, or an error message. However,
in many places, the caller did not consider not finding the thing being looked
for to be an error, and thus threw away the error message, keeping only
the "not found" indication. For each predicate with such callers, this diff
provides a parallel predicate that indicates "not found" simply by failing.
This allows us to eliminate the construction of the error message, the
preparation for the construction of the error message (usually by describing
the context), and the construction of the "ok" wrapper.

The second change is to specialize the handling of from_ground_term_construct
scopes in the termination analyzer. To make this easier, I also cleaned up
of the infrastructure of the termination analyzer.

The third change is to avoid traversing from_ground_term_construct scopes
in quantification.m when finding the variables in a goal, since termination
analysis no longer needs the information it gathers.

The fourth change is to avoid traversing second and later conjuncts in
conjunctions twice. The first step in handling conjunctions is to call
implicitly_quantify_conj, which builds up a data structure that pairs each
conjunct with the variables that occur free in all the conjuncts following it.
However, after this was done and each conjunct was annotated with its
nonlocals, we used to compute the variables that occur free in the conjunction
as a whole from scratch. This diff changes the code so that we now compute that
set based on the information we gathered earlier, avoiding a redundant
traversal.

The fifth change is to create specialized, lower-arity versions of many of
the predicates in quantification.m. These versions are intended for traversals
that take place after the compiler has replaced lambda expressions with
references to separate procedures. These traversals do not need to pass around
arguments representing the variables occurring free in the (now non-existent)
lambda expressions.

compiler/prog_io_sym_name.m:
	Make the first change described above.

	Change some predicate names to adopt a consistent naming scheme
	in which predicates that do the same job and differ only in how they
	handle errors have names that differ only in a "try_" prefix.

	Add some predicate versions that do common tests on the output
	of the base versions. For example, try_parse_sym_name_and_no_args
	is a version of try_parse_sym_name_and_args that insists on finding
	an empty argument list.

	Remove the unused "error term" argument that we used to need a while
	ago.

	Move some predicate definitions to make their order match the order of
	their declarations.

	Turn a predicate into a function for its caller's convenience.

compiler/term_constr_build.m:
	Make the second change described above by modeling each
	from_ground_term_construct scope as a single unification,
	assigning the total size of the ground term to the variable being
	built.

compiler/term_constr_util.m:
	Put the arguments of some predicates into a more standard order.

compiler/lp_rational.m:
	Change the names of some function symbols to avoid both the use of
	graphic characters that require quoting and clashes with other types.

	Change the names of some predicates to make their purpose clear,
	and to avoid ambiguity.

compiler/quantification.m:
	Make the third, fourth and fifth changes described above.

	Conform to the changes above.

097b45acec Fix two problems that together caused bug Mantis bug #44.
Estimated hours taken: 12
Branches: main

Fix two problems that together caused bug Mantis bug #44.

The first bug was that unify_gen.m wasn't checking whether a variable it was
adding to a closure was of dummy type or not.

The second bug was that the code for recognizing whether a type is dummy or not
recognized only two cases: builtin dummy types such as io.state, and types
with one function symbol of arity zero. In this program, there is a notag
wrapper around a dummy type. Since the representation of a notag type is
always the same as the type it wraps, this notag type should be recognized
as a dummy type too.

	Fix the first bug by adding the required checks.

	Add a utility predicate to factor out some now common code in
	unify_gen.m.

(The modifications to all the following files were to fix the second bug.)

compiler/hlds_data.m:
compiler/prog_type.m:
	Change the type_category type (in prog_type.m) and the enum_or_dummy
	type (in hlds_data.m) to separate out the representation of notag types
	from other du types. This allows the fix for the second bug, and
	incidentally allows some parts of the compiler to avoid the same tests
	over and over.

	To ensure that all places in the compiler that could need special
	handling for notag types get them, rename those types to
	type_ctor_category (since it does *not* take argument types into
	account) and du_type_kind respectively.

	Since the type_ctor_category type needs to be modified anyway,
	change it to allow code that manipulates values of the type to
	factor out common code fragments.

	Rename some predicates, and turn some into functions where this helps
	to make code (either here or in clients) more robust.

compiler/make_tags.m:
	When creating a HLDS representation for a du type, record whether
	it is a notag type (we already recorded whether it is enum or dummy).

compiler/type_util.m:
	Fix the predicate that tests for dummy types by recognizing the third
	way a type can be a dummy type.

	Don't test for dummyness of the argument when deciding whether
	a type could be a notag types; just record it as a notag type,
	and let later lookup code use the new fixed algorithm to do the right
	thing.

	Add a type for recording the is_dummy_type/is_not_dummy_type
	distinction.

	Rename some predicates, and turn some into functions where this helps
	to make code (either here or in clients) more robust.

Estimated hours taken: 12
Branches: main

compiler/*.m:
	Convert predicates that used to have one clause for each kind of
	HLDS goal into explicit disjunctions, since this gives the debugger
	a meaningful name for each argument. In some cases, this exposed
	arguments that were used by *no* clause. In other cases, it allowed
	factoring out common code, as well as code that *should* have been
	common but wasn't.

	Put the disjuncts in a meaningful order. In too many cases, they were
	almost random.

	Merge the resulting predicates into their parents, in places where
	the Prolog indexing one could get from separate clauses was the only
	reason for separating those predicates from their parents in the first
	place. Similarly, merge child predicates handling generic call kinds
	and such back into the main predicate where this improves clarity.
	In some cases, this allows putting the extraction of hlds_goal_expr
	from a hlds_goal into one place, instead of repeating it in lots of
	places.

	Give some predicates more descriptive names. In some cases, rationalize
	argument order. In some cases, rationalize the order of predicates
	in the module.

	Replace some uses of booleans with purpose-specific types.

	Give some fields names, and put type-identifying prefixes on the names
	of other fields, to make tag files work better.

	In some cases, reorder fields to them put into related groups.

	Use more standard and/or more descriptive variable names

	Use a standard syntax for if-then-else in each module.

	Follow our style convention for comments.

Estimated hours taken: 20
Branches: main

Add a new compiler option. --inform-ite-instead-of-switch. If this is enabled,
the compiler will generate informational messages about if-then-elses that
it thinks should be converted to switches for the sake of program reliability.

Act on the output generated by this option.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Implement the new option.

	Fix an old bug that could cause us to generate warnings about code
	that was OK in one duplicated copy but not in another (where a switch
	arm's code is duplicated due to the case being selected for more than
	one cons_id).

compiler/options.m:
	Add the new option.

	Add a way to test for the bug fix in simplify.

	Document the new option.

NEWS:
	Mention the new option.

library/*.m:
mdbcomp/*.m:
browser/*.m:
compiler/*.m:
deep_profiler/*.m:
	Convert if-then-elses to switches at most of the sites suggested by the
	new option. At the remaining sites, switching to switches would have
	nontrivial downsides. This typically happens with the switched-on type
	has many functors, and we treat one or two specially (e.g. cons/2 in
	the cons_id type).

	Perform misc cleanups in the vicinity of the if-then-else to switch
	conversions.

	In a few cases, improve the error messages generated.

compiler/accumulator.m:
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	(Rename and) move insts for particular kinds of goal from
	accumulator.m to hlds_goal.m, to allow them to be used in other
	modules. Using these insts allowed us to eliminate some if-then-elses
	entirely.

compiler/exprn_aux.m:
	Instead of fixing some if-then-elses, delete the predicates containing
	them, since they aren't used, and (as pointed out by the new option)
	would need considerable other fixing if they were ever needed again.

compiler/lp_rational.m:
	Add prefixes to the names of the function symbols on some types,
	since without those prefixes, it was hard to figure out what type
	the switch corresponding to an old if-then-else was switching on.

tests/invalid/reserve_tag.err_exp:
	Expect a new, improved error message.

Estimated hours taken: 1
Branches: main

This diff implements step 2 of the fix for a bug I introduced when turning
the primitives involved in implementing trace goals into builtins. The bug
is that that builtin primitives have to be declared, but if they don't have
definitions, then add_pred *creates* a definition for them which assumes
them to be pure. The primitives involved in trace goal implementations
are semipure and impure respectively.

library/private_builtin.m:
	Add declarations for trace_get_io_state and trace_set_io_state.

The rest of the diff is for fixing the problems that cropped up with
termination analysis of these primitives.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Fix the predicate for classifying type constructors to make it
	recognize dummy types. Also, factor out some code to ensure
	that data structures are not tested repeatedly against the same
	pattern.

	Without this fix, termination analysis was complaining about
	builtins with non-zero-sized outputs.

compiler/term_constr_util.m:
compiler/termination.m:

Estimated hours taken: 8
Branches: main

Improve the error messages generated for determinism errors involving committed
choice contexts. Previously, we printed a message to the effect that e.g.
a cc pred is called in context that requires all solutions, but we didn't say
*why* the context requires all solutions. We now keep track of all the goals
to the right that could fail, since it is these goals that may reject the first
solution of a committed choice goal.

The motivation for this diff was the fact that I found that locating the
failing goal can be very difficult if the conjunction to the right is
a couple of hundred lines long. This would have been a nontrivial problem,
since (a) unifications involving values of user-defined types are committed
choice goals, and (b) we can expect uses of user-defined types to increase.

	of determinism errors involving committed committed choice goals.

	error message specifications; print those specifications (using

a747aa4eb1 Standardise the sizes of higher-order types in the
Estimated hours taken: 0.5
Branches: main

Standardise the sizes of higher-order types in the
termination analysers and the term-size profiler by
making term_norm.m treat higher-order types as zero sized.
This has always been the case in the termination analysers
and the term-size profiler anyway.

compiler/term_norm.m:
	Change the definition of zero size types so that
	higher-order types are always considered zero sized.

compiler/size_prof.m:
compiler/term_constr_util.m:
	Minor changes to conform to the above.

c5e315b0fc Add the first part of the new termination analyser.
Estimated hours taken: lots
Branches: main

Add the first part of the new termination analyser.  This includes most
of the argument size analyser and a simple termination checker - I'll
add a more extensive one as part of another diff.  The one included here
is only a placeholder and is roughly equivalent to the one used by the
existing termination analyser.

The new analysis abstracts term size relationships over a domain of
(rational) convex constraints.  The resulting size relationships are, in
many cases, more precise than we can obtain with the old analysis.  This
means that we should be able to prove termination in more cases.  The
tradeoff for this increased precision is that the new termination
analysis is slower than the old one.  We should also be able to adapt
the new analyser to handle things like higher-order constructs and
intermodule mutual recursion more easily than the old one.

The code for writing termination2_info pragmas to .opt and .trans_opt
files is currently commented out.  It will need to stay that way until
after this change bootstraps and after the tests/term directory as been
reworked (the .trans_opt_exp files need to updated and some new test
cases have to added - I'll do this as part of separate diff).

It isn't clear what the relationship between the new analyser and the
existing one should be, so at the moment they are as independent of each
other as possible.

compiler/termination2.m:
	New file.  Invokes the the other passes of the new analysis
	and handles the output of termination2_info pragmas to .opt
	and .trans_opt files.

	XXX I've disabled the writing out of termination2_info
	pragmas to the (transitive-)intermodule optimization files
	until I've updated the test suite.

compiler/term_constr_data.m:
	New file.  Defines the main data structures used by the
	new analysis.

compiler/term_constr_initial.m:
	New file.  Sets up information for builtin and compiler
	generated procedures and processes information about
	imported procedures.  Also handles termination pragmas.

compiler/term_constr_build.m:
	New file.  Converts the HLDS representation of a procedure
	into the abstract representation that we use during the rest
	of the analysis.

compiler/term_constr_fixpoint.m:
	New file.  Perform a fixpoint calculation in order to derive
	interargument size relationships for a procedure (in the
	form of convex constraints).

compiler/term_constr_pass2.m:
	New file.  A rudimentary termination checker that is roughly
	equivalent to what the existing termination analysis does.
	This is just a placeholder.

compiler/term_constr_util.m:
	New file.  Utility predicates that are used by the above modules.

compiler/term_constr_errors.m:
	New file.  Equivalent to term_errors.m for the new analyser.

compiler/rat.m:
	Provide rational numbers over fixed precision integers.
	Originally committed on the termination2 branch.

compiler/lp_rational.m:
	Provides the necessary machinery for manipulating systems
	of linear constraints.  Originally committed on the termination2
	branch although most of this version is new.  (Some bits of the
	version on the termination2 branch are now in polyhedron.m).
	The linear solver is essentially the one that is currently
	in lp.m converted to use rationals rather than floats.

compiler/polyhedron.m:
	New file.  An ADT that provides convex polyhedra over the
	rationals (or at least over rats).  The abstraction barrier was
	designed so that we could experiment with different representations
	for the polyhedra.

compiler/term_norm:
	Clean up the documentation of this module.
	Make set_functor_info into a function.
	Add a function for finding a lower bound on the weight of a functor.

compiler/trans_opt.m:
	Output termination2_info pragmas in .trans_opt files.

compiler/transform_hlds.m:
	Include the new termination analyser.

compiler/goal_form.m:
	When checking whether a goal can loop or not use
	information from the new termination analyser as well as
	the old one.

compiler/globals.m:
compiler/handle_options:
compiler/options.m:
	Add options to control the new analyser.   The documentation
	is currently commented out because the new analysis is still
	a work-in-progress.  It should be uncommented when the new
	analysis is more mature.

	XXX The user guide still needs to be updated.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Add hlds_out.write_pred_proc_id/4.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add a slot in the proc_sub_info structure for the
	termination2_info structure.

compiler/rat.m:
	Provide rational numbers over fixed precision integers.

compiler/lp_rational.m:
	Provide the constraint machinery required by the analyser.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Handle imports of termination2_info pragmas.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Run the new pass.  Currently, we do this directly after
	the old termination analysis pass.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Add code to output termination2_info pragmas.

compiler/libs.m:
	Include the rat, polyhedron and lp_rational modules.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Define the types necessary for termination2_info pragmas.

	Change the cannot_loop constructor of the generic_termination_info
	type so it has a polymorphic argument.  The new analyser stores
	information in it.

	Fix some spelling errors in some of the comments

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Parse termination2_info pragmas.

compiler/error_util.m:
	Add function versions of sorry/2 and unexpected/2.

compiler/module_qual.m:
compiler/modules.m:
compiler/recompilation.version.m:
compiler/termination.m
compiler/term_pass2.m
compiler/term_util.m:
	Minor changes to confrom to the above.
