9d3edaecb5 `private_builtin.store_at_ref' is currently pure but should be impure.
Branches: main

`private_builtin.store_at_ref' is currently pure but should be impure.
There would be bootstrapping problems if we just made it impure, as it is
a builtin that the compiler needs to recognise.  Instead, we will add a
new predicate `store_at_ref_impure' to take its place.  This needs to be
done in three steps:

1. Get the compiler to recognise `store_at_ref_impure' as a builtin.

2. After step 1 has bootstrapped, add the predicate declaration for
   `store_at_ref_impure'.  Change generated code to call it.

3. After step 2 has bootstrapped, delete `store_at_ref'.  The stage1
   compiler in step 2 could be built by a compiler that still generates
   references to `store_at_ref' so we couldn't just delete it at step 2.


This is also part of fixing Mantis bug #42.  The bug there is that we
didn't generate a valid definition for `store_at_ref'; the procedure
existed but had an empty body.  Calls to `store_at_ref' introduced by the
LCMC optimisation are normally replaced by inline code, but with
`--no-inlining-builtins' we would call the procedure, which did nothing.


compiler/builtin_ops.m:
	Add a builtin translation for `store_at_ref_impure'.

library/private_builtin.m:
	Add the declaration of `store_at_ref_impure', commented out for now.

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.

672f77c4ec Add a new compiler option. --inform-ite-instead-of-switch.
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.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	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.

compiler/termination.m:

	into term_errors.m, and make it into a named function that returns
	a bool.  Use that here.  (In the process of doing this I discovered
	that the code for handling fatal errors was not handling type
	class method calls correctly, they *should* be handled like
	higher-order calls.  Also, some of the more recently added
	termination error categories may not be handled correctly here -
	I have added an XXX comment to term_errors.m regarding this.)

Estimated hours taken: 5
Branches: main

Fix the failure of the invalid/modes_erroneous test case, whose symptom was
an error message about a "mode error in unification of `X' and `X'".
The root cause of the problem was that the renaming of head variables
computed by headvar_names.m was being applied too early, during typechecking.
The fix is to apply it after the frontend (all the passes that can generate
error messages).

To avoid slowdowns from larger pred_infos, this diff also moves the least
frequently used fields of pred_infos to a subterm. (Proc_infos already had
a subterm.) This leads to an almost 3% speedup.

compiler/headvar_names.m:
	Store the renaming instead of applying it.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Apply the renaming in invocations after the front end, since doing so
	may allow some excess assignments to be eliminated.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add fields to pred_infos and proc_infos for the renaming.

	Move the least frequently used fields of pred_infos into a
	pred_sub_info.

	Some fields of pred_infos were being accessed using predicates
	that did not follow our naming conventions, and some were accessed
	using field access functions that are now inappropriate; fix them all.

	Require the caller to provide the renaming when creating new pred_infos
	and proc_infos. This is to force the compiler components that do this
	to propagate the renaming fields of the original predicates and/or
	procedures to their modified versions.

	Convert that some old code that used if-then-elses to use switches
	instead.

b56885be93 Fix a bug that caused bootchecks with --optimize-constructor-last-call to fail.
Estimated hours taken: 12
Branches: main

Fix a bug that caused bootchecks with --optimize-constructor-last-call to fail.

The problem was not in lco.m, but in follow_code.m. In some cases,
(specifically, the LCMC version of insert_2 in sparse_bitset.m),
follow_code.m moved an impure goal (store_at_ref) into the arms of an
if-then-else without marking those arms, or the if-then-else, as impure.
The next pass, simplify, then deleted the entire if-then-else, since it
had no outputs. (The store_at_ref that originally appeared after the
if-then-else was the only consumer of its only output.)

The fix is to get follow_code.m to make branched control structures such as
if-then-elses, as well as their arms, semipure or impure if a goal being moved
into them is semipure or impure, or if they came from an semipure or impure
conjunction.

Improve the optimization of the LCMC version of sparse_bitset.insert_2, which
had a foreign_proc invocation of bits_per_int in it: replace such invocations
with a unification of the bits_per_int constant if not cross compiling.

Add a new option, --optimize-constructor-last-call-null. When set, LCMC will
assign NULLs to the fields not yet filled in, to avoid any junk happens to be
there from being followed by the garbage collector's mark phase.

This diff also makes several other changes that helped me to track down
the bug above.

compiler/follow_code.m:
	Make the fix described above.

	Delete all the provisions for --prev-code; it won't be implemented.

	Don't export a predicate that is not now used anywhere else.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Make the optimization described above.

compiler/lco.m:
	Make sure that the LCMC specialized procedure is a predicate, not a
	function: having a function with the mode LCMC_insert_2(in, in) = in
	looks wrong.

	To avoid name collisions when a function and a predicate with the same
	name and arity have LCMC applied to them, include the predicate vs
	function status of the original procedure included in the name of the
	new procedure.

	Update the sym_name of calls to LCMC variants, not just the pred_id,
	because without that, the HLDS dump looks misleading.

compiler/pred_table.m:
	Don't have optimizations like LCMC insert new predicates at the front
	of the list of predicates. Maintain the list of predicates in the
	module as a two part list, to allow efficient addition of new pred_ids
	at the (logical) end without using O(N^2) algorithms. Having predicates
	in chronological order makes it easier to look at HLDS dumps and
	.c files.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Make module_info_predids return a module_info that is physically
	updated though logically unchanged.

compiler/options.m:
	Add --optimize-constructor-last-call-null.

	Make the options --dump-hlds-pred-id, --debug-opt-pred-id and
	--debug-opt-pred-name into accumulating options, to allow the user
	to specify more than one predicate to be dumped (e.g. insert_2 and
	its LCMC variant).

	Delete --prev-code.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document the changes in options.m.

compiler/code_info.m:
	Record the value of --optimize-constructor-last-call-null in the
	code_info, to avoid lookup at every cell construction.

compiler/unify_gen.m:
compiler/var_locn.m:
	When deciding whether a cell can be static or not, make sure that
	we never make static a cell that has some fields initialized with
	dummy zeros, to be filled in for real later.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	For goals that are semipure or impure, note this fact. This info was
	lost when I changed the representation of impurity from markers to a
	field.

mdbcomp/prim_data.m:
	Rename some ambiguous function symbols.

compiler/intermod.m:
compiler/trans_opt.m:
	Rename the main predicates (and some function symbols) of these modules
	to avoid ambiguity and to make them more expressive.

	Don't print line numbers for foreign_code fragments if the user has
	specified --no-line-numbers.

compiler/make.dependencies.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
compiler/recompilation.usage.m:
	Don't use io.write to write out information to files we may need to
	parse again, because this is vulnerable to changes to the names of
	function symbols (e.g. the one to mdbcomp/prim_data.m).

	The compiler still contains some uses of io.write, but they are
	for debugging. I added an item to the todo list of the one exception,
	ilasm.m.

compiler/recompilation.m:
	Rename a misleading function symbol name.

compiler/parse_tree.m:
	Don't import recompilation.m here. It is not needed (all the components
	of parse_tree that need recompilation.m already import it themselves),
	and deleting the import avoids recompiling almost everything when
	recompilation.m changes.

2b2f3d3cbe This diff contains no algorithmic changes.
Estimated hours taken: 8
Branches: main

This diff contains no algorithmic changes. It merely renames apart a bunch of
function symbols to reduce ambiguity. Basically I went through prog_data.m,
prog_item.m, hlds_data.m, hlds_goal.m and hlds_pred.m looking for type
definitions containing function symbol names that were either language
"keywords" (e.g. "terminates", which is an annotation on foreign_procs),
used with slightly different meanings in several types (e.g. "sym"),
or both (e.g. "call"). When I found such type definitions, I changed the
names of the function symbols, usually by adding a prefix or suffix
indicating the type to all function symbols of the type. For example,
the old function symbol "foreign_proc" in type "pragma_type" is now named
"pragma_foreign_proc", and the names of all other function symbols in that
type also start with "pragma_".

All of this should yield simpler compiler error messages when we make mistakes,
and will make it more likely that looking up a function symbol using a tags
file will take you to the actual definition of the relevant instance of that
function symbol. However, the most important benefit is the increase in
the readability of unfamiliar code; the reader won't have to emulate the
compiler's type ambiguity resolution algorithm (which in many cases used to
require distinguishing between f/14 and f/15 by counting the arguments,
e.g. for "pred_or_func").

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

d47e633804 Trace builtin and private_builtin (with the exception of external predicates
Estimated hours taken: 4
Branches: main

Trace builtin and private_builtin (with the exception of external predicates
and those that are polymorhphic, but have no extra type_info arguments).

This allows subterms to be traced through calls to predicates in builtin
and private_builtin and fixes an assertion failure in the declarative debugger
that was triggered when an untraced builtin called a traced predicate
(the debugger would then think the events from the traced predicate were
child events of the parent of the untraced predicate, which would cause the
assertion failure).

f9fe8dcf61 Improve the error messages generated for determinism errors involving committed
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.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Keep track of goals to the right of the current goal that could fail,
	and include them in the error representation if required.

compiler/det_report.m:
	Include the list of failing goals to the right in the representations
	of determinism errors involving committed committed choice goals.

	Convert the last part of this module that wasn't using error_util
	to use error_util. Make most parts of this module just construct
	error message specifications; print those specifications (using
	error_util) in only a few places.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Add a function for use by the new code in det_report.m.

compiler/error_util.m:
	Add a function for use by the new code in det_report.m.

compiler/error_util.m:
compiler/compiler_util.m:
	Error_util is still changing reasonably often, and yet it is
	included in lots of modules, most of which need only a few simple
	non-parse-tree-related predicates from it (e.g. unexpected).
	Move those predicates to a new module, compiler_util.m. This also
	eliminates some undesirable dependencies from libs to parse_tree.

compiler/libs.m:
	Include compiler_util.m.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Document compiler_util.m, and fix the documentation of some other
	modules.

compiler/*.m:
	Import compiler_util instead of or in addition to error_util.
	To make this easier, consistently use . instead of __ for module
	qualifying module names.

	Add this new test case to test the error messages for cc contexts.

	Add a predicate for creating simple tests.

	Add a utility predicate for setting the context of a goal directly.

compiler/modules.m:
	Include dummy types interface files, even if they are private to the
	module. This is necessary because with the MLDS backend, the generated
	code inside the module and outside the module must agree whether a
	function returning a value of the type returns a real value or a void
	value, and this requires them to agree on whether the type is dummy
	or not.

	The impact on interface files is minimal, since very few types are
	dummy types, and changing a type from a dummy type to a non-dummy type

Optimize calls that would be tail calls in Prolog but are followed by
construction unifications in Mercury: last call modulo construction.
For now, the optimization is available only for the LLDS backend.

compiler/lco.m:
	Turn this module from a placeholder to a real implementation
	of the optimization.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Allow lco.m to attach to construction unifications a note that says
	that certain arguments, instead of being filled in by the unification,
	should have their addresses taken and stored in the corresponding
	variables.

	Group this note together with the note that asks for term size
	profiling to avoid an increase in the sizes of goals in the compiler
	in most cases.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Provide a predicate for setting the name of a predicate after its
	creation. This functionality is used by lco.m.

	Extend the pred_transformation part of the pred_origin type to allow
	it to express that a procedure was created by lco.m.

	List the new primitive store_at_ref as a no-typeinfo builtin.

	Fix some problems with indentation.

	turned on, perform the requested action.

	Fix some departures from coding style. Shorten lines by deleting
	unnecessary module qualifications. Add some auxiliary predicates
	to make the code easier to read.

compiler/var_locn.m:
	Fix an earlier oversight: when materializing variables inside rvals
	and lvals, look inside memory references too. Previously, the omission
	didn't matter, since we didn't generate such references, but now we do.

	Fix some departures from coding style.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Fix some old XXXs in code handling memory references. We didn't use to
	generate such references, but now we do.

	Move some functionality here from code_aux.m.

compiler/code_info.m:
	Provide some primitive operations needed by the new code in var_locn.m.

	Delete an unneeded predicate.

compiler/options.m:
	Rename the existing option optimize_constructor_last_call as
	optimize_constructor_last_call_accumulator, since that optimization
	is done by accumulator.m.

	Make optimize_constructor_last_call be the option that calls for the

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Handle the implications of the new option.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Invoke the lco module by its new interface.

librrary/private_builtin.m:
	Add a new primitive operation, store_at_ref, for use by the new
	optimization.

	to bootstrap the addition of the new builtin.

compiler/term_constr_initial.m:
	Handle the new builtin.

compiler/accumulator.m:
	Conform to the change in options.

compiler/builtin_ops.m:

	Convert the file to four-space indentation.

compiler/mode_constraints.m:
	Minor changes to conform to the changes in dependency_graph.m.

compiler/code_aux.m:
	Delete this module. Half its functionality has been moved into

	Convert det_util.m to four-space indentation.

compiler/middle_rec.m:
	Move here the code required only here from code_aux and goal_form.
	Update the moved code for the changes in construct unifications.
	The updates are specific to middle_rec.m: they wouldn't be of use

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.
