compiler/error_spec.m:
This new module contains the part of the old error_util.m that defines
the error_spec type, and some functions that can help construct pieces
of error_specs. Most modules of the compiler that deal with errors
will need to import only this part of the old error_util.m.
This change also renames the format_component type to format_piece,
which matches our long-standing naming convention for variables containing
(lists of) values of this type.
compiler/write_error_spec.m:
This new module contains the part of the old error_util.m that
writes out error specs, and converts them to strings.
This diff marks as obsolete the versions of predicates that
write out error specs to the current output stream, without
*explicitly* specifying the intended stream.
compiler/error_sort.m:
This new module contains the part of the old error_util.m that
sorts lists of error specs and error msgs.
compiler/error_type_util.m:
This new module contains the part of the old error_util.m that
convert types to format_pieces that generate readable output.
compiler/parse_tree.m:
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
Include and document the new modules.
compiler/error_util.m:
The code remaining in the original error_util.m consists of
general utility predicates and functions that don't fit into
any of the modules above.
Delete an unneeded pair of I/O states from the argument list
of a predicate.
compiler/file_util.m:
Move the unable_to_open_file predicate here from error_util.m,
since it belongs here. Mark another predicate that writes
to the current output stream as obsolete.
compiler/hlds_error_util.m:
Mark two predicates that wrote out error_spec to the current output
stream as obsolete, and add versions that take an explicit output stream.
compiler/Mercury.options:
Compile the modules that call the newly obsoleted predicates
with --no-warn-obsolete, for the time being.
compiler/*.m:
Conform to the changes above, mostly by updating import_module
declarations, and renaming format_component to format_piece.
library/term.m:
library/term_context.m:
As above.
Rename the term.context type as term_context.term_context, with
term.context now being defined as an equivalence type.
Replace the context_init function and predicate and the dummy_context_init
function with just one function: dummy_context. This name includes
the important part (the fact that it return a *dummy* context) and deletes
the nonimportant part (dummy contexts are just about never updated,
so the function does not really "initialize" them).
Reduce function/predicate pairs that do the same thing to just a function.
library/MODULES_DOC:
library/library.m:
Add the new module to the list of standard library modules.
NEWS:
Mention the new module, and the obsoleting of the moved predicates
and functions in term.m.
compiler/*.m:
library/*.m:
Conform to the changes above.
compiler/check_module_interface.m:
Generate a "this module does not export anything" warning for modules
that contain only single include_module declaration, since such modules
could be deleted with no effect.
Change the warning message to list every kind of declaration/definition
that does not depend on the presence of other kinds of declarations or
definitions.
deep_profiler/Mercury.options:
Shut up this warning for mdprof_fb, since right now, it contains
only a single include_module, even it is designed to later contain more.

compiler/check_module_interface.m:
As above. This module has not worked on raw compilation units for a while.
compiler/mercury_compile_main.m:
compiler/parse_tree.m:
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
Conform to the change above.
