Remove type_ctor_layouts and type_ctor_functors where not needed.
Simplify type_ctor_layouts by removing code that generates (and
documentations for) particularly representations that are no longer used
now that we use type_ctor_reps.
Several files also had miscellaneous cleanups and documentation fixes,
the most important being the move of the type_ctor_info structures
for preds/funcs from runtime/mercury_type_info.c to library/builtin.m.
compiler/base_type_layout.m:
Simplify documentation.
Remove references to representations in type_ctor_layouts that
are no longer used.compiler/base_type_layout.m:
compiler/base_type_info.m:
Keep base_type_info__type_ctor_rep_to_int in sync with
MR_TypeCtorRepresentation.
runtime/mercury_grade.h:
runtime/mercury_cpp.h:
Move the definitions of MR_STRINGIFY and MR_PASTEn to the new file
mercury_cpp.h. Add MR_PASTEn for several new values of n, for use by
mercury_type_info.h.
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
Define macros for creating type_ctor_info structures for builtin types.
These have NULL layout and functor fields.
Remove several obsolete macros.
runtime/mercury_layout_util.c:
Use the new macros for defining a dummy type_ctor_info.
runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h:
runtime/mercury_tabling.c:
Modify the implementation of some RTTI functions to use the layout
and functors structures only if they are defined.
runtime/mercury_type_info.c:
Modify MR_collapse_equivalences to use the type_ctor_rep, not the
functors indicator, to check for equivalence, since the latter is
not guaranteed to be present.
Move the type_ctor_info structure for preds/funcs to builtin.m.
library/array.m:
Use these macros to define the type_ctor_info structure for array.
library/builtin.m:
Use these macros to define the type_ctor_info structure for int,
float, character, string, saved succip etc values, and for preds
and funcs.
library/private_builtin.m:
Use these macros to define the type_ctor_info structure for type_infos,
type_ctor_infos, typeclass_infos and base_typeclass_infos.
Move a c_header_code to the section that needs it.
library/std_util.m:
Use the new macros to define the type_ctor_info structure for univ
and for std_util's own type_info type.
Modify the implementations of some RTTI predicates to use the
layout and functors structures only if they are defined.
Estimated hours taken: 24
Ensure that the none.gc and none grades compile using a compiler
other than gcc. This is not completely tested as lcc on linux can't
generate code for boehm_gc, and 'cc -std1' on the alpha runs out of
memory while trying to link the compiler. However the compiler does
bootstrap using just gcc and also with lcc with boehm_gc compiled by
gcc.
configure.in:
-Wl,opt1,opt2 syntax is not supported by lcc instead use -Wlopt1
-Wopt2.
compiler/export.m:
Only output a label declaration if that label is exported, as the
static label declarations are not legal C.
library/io.m:
compiler/stack_layout.m:
Replace escape sequence \x with \\x in pragma c code.
library/array.m:
library/std_util.m:
Define what the struct is before using it, so the correct size for the
struct can be calculated.
library/private_builtin.m:
Replace escape sequence \x with \\x in pragma c code.
Ensure that there is at least one local variable so that the
structure definition for holding the local vars contains something.
runtime/mercury_faultaddr.h:
Remove an unnecessary cast.
runtime/mercury_reg_workarounds.h:
#include sys/time.h for FD_ZERO().
runtime/mercury_stack_trace.h:
Remove an extraneous ',' which was causing warnings.
Estimated hours taken: 0.2
library/*.m:
Put MR_ prefixes on uses of string_const(), make_aligned_string()
variants, and COMPARE_EQUAL and friends, in order to allow bootstrap
with -DMR_NO_BACKWARDS_COMPAT.
Estimated hours taken: 1.5
Add version information to type_ctor_infos. This way bootstrapping is
easier and binary compatibility can be broken more slowly.
RTTI code can check version numbers before performing operations on
data structures that have recently changed their representation.
At the least they can abort cleanly and let you know that it's time
to re-compile, at best they can handle both forms of the data structure.
It is a bootstrapping problem that currently there is no version number
information in the appropriate slot in pre-built systems.
The version numbers start at 2 simply because 2 "occurs naturally"
much less often than 1 or 0. And 42 was becoming trite.
compiler/base_type_info.m:
Generate RTTI version numbers in compiler-generated
type_ctor_infos.
library/builtin.m:
library/private_builtin.m:
library/std_util.m:
runtime/mercury_bootstrap.c:
runtime/mercury_type_info.c:
Add RTTI version numbers for handwritten type_ctor_infos.
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
Add MR_RTTI_VERSION to define the current version of the RTTI
info and the first version: MR_RTTI_VERSION_INITIAL which
happens to have the value of 2.
Estimated hours taken: 8
Reorganize the routines for allocating and deallocating memory:
runtime/mercury_std.h:
runtime/mercury_misc.c:
runtime/mercury_memory.h:
runtime/mercury_memory.c:
- Put the routines in the proper place.
Previously the declarations and definitions of the memory
allocation/deallocation routines were spread amoungst
all four of these files; I moved the ones in mercury_std.h
and mercury_misc.c so that they are now all defined
in mercury_memory.{h,c}
- Avoid unnecessary duplication
The following routines did exactly the same thing,
modulo bugs(!):
allocate_bytes() and newmem()
deallocate_bytes() and oldmem()
make() and allocate_object()
make_many() and allocate_array()
- Use appropriate names.
I added `MR_' prefixes, and ensured that macros that are not
function-like macros use all uppercase. I also used a more
consistent naming scheme.
Previously the names used were
(1) checked_malloc, checked_realloc
(2a) allocate_bytes, deallocate_bytes, reallocate_bytes,
allocate_object, allocate_array, resize_array
(2b) newmem, oldmem, resizemem,
make, make_many, resize_many
The new names are
(1) MR_malloc, MR_free, MR_realloc,
MR_NEW, MR_NEW_ARRAY, MR_RESIZE_ARRAY
(2) MR_GC_malloc, MR_GC_free, MR_GC_realloc,
MR_GC_NEW, MR_GC_NEW_ARRAY, MR_GC_RESIZE_ARRAY

type_ctor_infos for c_pointer, type_info, type_ctor_info,
typeclass_info, base_typeclass_info, array, and univ are
initialized at runtime if they can't be initialized statically.
Estimated hours taken: 16
Changed all type_ctor_info structures to use the MR_TypeCtorInfo type. This
is primarily to reduce the number of conflicts when merging independent
changes to the type_ctor_info structures. As part of this, changed the type
of `string_const' to be `String' rather than `Word *', to avoid type errors
in the initialisers for compiler-generated type_ctor_infos.
compiler/llds_out.m:
Don't emit definitions for type_ctor_info structs; instead use
`MR_TypeCtorInfo_struct'.
Removed a couple of casts of `string_const's to type `String', since
they are no longer necessary.
compiler/llds.m:
Changed the entries for `string_const' and `multi_string_const' in
llds__const_type/2 to be `string' rather than `data_ptr'.
library/array.m:
library/builtin.m:
library/private_builtin.m:

runtime/mercury_bootstrap.c:
runtime/mercury_type_info.c:
Changed all the hand-defined type_ctor_info structures to just use
`MR_TypeCtorInfo_struct', and added appropriate casts to the
initialisers. This included removing what appears to have been the
last vestiges of `USE_TYPE_LAYOUT' conditionals since their use was
so broken that it would probably be easier to re-implement the same
functionality from scratch than to debug and rebuild on what was left.
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
Introduced `struct MR_TypeCtorInfo_struct' as the name of the
(previously anonymous) struct which `MR_TypeCtorInfo' was a pointer
to.
Introduced `MR_DECLARE_TYPE_CTOR_INFO_STRUCT' for declaring
type_ctor_info structures, since `MR_DECLARE_STRUCT' generates
old-style names for type_ctor_infos.
runtime/mercury_deep_copy.c:
runtime/mercury_tabling.c:
library/std_util.m:
extras/exceptions/exception.m:
Changed some uses of `MR_DECLARE_STRUCT' to use
`MR_DECLARE_TYPE_CTOR_INFO_STRUCT' instead.
runtime/mercury_bootstrap.h:
Added some `#define's of some old type_ctor_info type names to be
`MR_TypeCtorInfo_struct', so that during bootstrapping the type
names generated by the old version of the compiler work with the new
scheme used in the manual definitions.
runtime/mercury_string.h:
Changed the type of the macro `string_const/2'. It used to cast to
`Word *', now it casts to `String'.

Add functions for the single output det predicates in a number
of modules in the standard library. Basically, for each
:- pred f(in, ..., in, out) is det.

library/int.m:
Added forward versions of +/2, */2 and -/2 as plus/2, times/2

Add MR_TYPECTOR_REP_* to the type_ctor_info to describe the
representation of this type.
We want to do this because it allows us to check quickly to see
what kind of data representation is being used. Previously this
information was spread throughout the type_ctor_layout and
type_ctor_functors data structures. It was complex to interpret
and contained a lot of unnecessary duplication.
We can now omit data structures such as the type_ctor_layout in many
cases (it is only necessary for discriminated unions). Because we rule
out some of the possible alternatives, the encodings used in the
type_ctor_layout can be simplified. Also, the functors indicator in
type_ctor_functors can be removed, as it subsumed by this data
structure.
Use this representation in code that uses RTTI.
compiler/base_type_info.m:
Add a missing alternative to the type_ctor_rep (this was a
bug).
library/array.m:
library/builtin.m:

Use MR_TYPECTOR_REP_* and MR_DISCUNION_TAG_* to dispatch on
data representations.
Also, fix a bug in deep_copy when copying floating point values.
I'm not sure when this stopped working, or if this is exactly
the right fix, but it is more correct than the previous code.
runtime/mercury_type_info.c:

Move the type_ctor_infos for array and univ into their proper places.

causes trouble linking small programs (because it creates runtime ->
library dependencies). So we should move it as soon as possible.

Remove support for --args simple. We don't use it, we won't use it even for
experiments, and it is unnecessary complication.
If anybody were using --args simple, this would need bootstrapping, but
since nobody does, there is no need, and this can be committed as an
ordinary change.
compiler/options.m:

Remove the --args option.
compiler/globals.m:
Remove the args_method global and its access predicates.
compiler/handle_options.m:
Don't set the args_method global from the option.
compiler/arg_info.m:

Remove now unnecessary assertions.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
Don't include an args_method in proc_infos; instead, include
a slot that says whether the procedure's address is taken or not.
(In most cases, this determined whether the args_method was
simple or compact.) We will need this bool in the near future
(when we generate layout structures for procedures whose address
is taken).
Modify the signatures of exported predicates to accommodate
this change to the data structure.
compiler/hlds_out.m:
Print the new slot, not the args_method.
compiler/lambda.m:
When creating procedures from lambdas, set the address-taken slot
to address_is_taken instead of setting up its args_method.

an argument-method-independent way of referring to the registers
holding the inputs and outputs of e.g. unification procedures.
We don't need the independence anymore, and using registers instead
of macros in the code ensures that maintainers are aware of register
reuse issues (e.g. they copy an input from r1 before overwriting it
with an output).

During the writing of the RTTI paper, we decided that type_ctor_info
was a much better name than base_type_info.
Rename base_type* as type_ctor*, except we don't rename the modules

Make it possible to compile a module (e.g. std_util) without debugging,
while still allowing debuggable code called from that module via higher-order
predicates (e.g. solutions) to have a proper stack trace.
compiler/options.m:
Add the new option --stack-trace-higher-order.
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
Always invoke continuation_info and stack_layout, since it is no
longer the case that either all procedures or none get layout
structures generated for them, and the other modules are in a better
position to make that decision.
compiler/continuation_info.m:
Handle the extra tests required by the change to mercury_compile.m.
When we gather info about a procedure, remember whether that
procedure must have a procedure layout that includes the procedure id
section.
compiler/stack_layout.m:
Use the flag remembered by continuation_info to help decide
whether we need procedure layout structures.
Fix an old space wastage: after generating marker saying that
the second and later groups of fields of a procedure layout are
not present, do not generate another marker saying that the
third group of fields is not present. Since it was in the wrong
position, it did not have the right meaning; it only worked because,
due to the presence of the first marker, it was never looked at anyway.
compiler/code_gen.m:
Use the new capability of continuation_info.m to require
procedure layouts including procedure id sections for any predicate
that has higher-order arguments, if --stack-trace-higher-order is set.
compiler/globals.m:
Rename want_return_layouts as want_return_var_layouts, since this
is a more accurate representation of what the predicate does.
compiler/call_gen.m:
compiler/code_info.m:
Conform to the change in globals.m.
compiler/llds_out.m:
Separate the c_modules containing compiler-generated code into two
groups, those that define labels that have stack layouts and those
that don't. In most cases one or the other category will be empty,
but with --stack-trace-higher-order, the c_modules containing
higher-order procedures will have stack layouts, while others will
not.
Reorganize the way the way the initialization functions are generated,
by putting c_modules falling into different categories into different
bunches. c_module falling into the first category always have their
initialization code included, while those in the second category
have it included only if the old flag MR_MAY_NEED_INITIALIZATION
is set.
Delete the obsolete #define of MR_STACK_TRACE_THIS_MODULE.
Improve some predicate names, in an effort to prevent confusion
about what a "file" is (since the code uses more than one meaning,
given the presence of --split-c-files).
compiler/pragma_c_gen.m:
Fix an old bug: s/NONDET_FIXED_SIZE/MR_NONDET_FIXED_SIZE/.
Required for the change to library/string.m.
doc/user_guide.texi:
Document the new option.
runtime/mercury_goto.c:
Simplify the conditions under which labels get added to the label
table with:
- The macros init_{entry,label,local}_ai always add
the label to the label table without a layout structure.
- The macros init_{entry,label,local}_sl always add it with a layout
structure.
- Whether the macros init_{entry,label,local} with no suffix
add the label to the label table depends on the values of other
configuration parameters, but they will never include a layout
structure.
The intended use is that any label that has a layout structure should
be initialized with a _sl macro. Any other label that should always
be in the label table if the label table is needed at all (labels
such as do_fail) should be initialized with _ai. Everything else
should be initialized with a suffixless macro.
runtime/mercury_conf_params.c:
Remove MR_USE_STACK_LAYOUTS and MR_STACK_TRACE_THIS_MODULE, since
due to the simplification of mercury_goto.h, they are not used anymore.
runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:

Ensure that the declarations and definitions for data constants
specify the same linkage (extern or static), because the C standard
says that if the linkage is different, then the behaviour is undefined.
This bug resulted in undefined symbol link errors for the RS/6000 AIX port.
compiler/llds_out.m:
When printing out declarations for data constants,
compute the linkage from the data_name, rather than
always assuming `extern'. When printing out definitions,
add a sanity check to ensure that the linkage that would be
computed from the data_name is the same as the linkage used
for the definition.
compiler/base_type_info.m:
Make base_type_infos always exported from the module, never local.
This is necessary to ensure that the linkage can be

Include mercury_accurate_gc.h
runtime/mercury_accurate_gc.h:
Add some macros to define stack layouts for handwritten
code, and access various fields of the stack layouts.
util/mkinit.c:
Add NATIVE_GC to the #ifdef .... that controls the running of
the initialization code for each module. NATIVE_GC requires the
label table to be initialized.
Fix this code so the two instances of this list of #defines are
replaced by a single string constant. I've been bitten _twice_
by this double definition, and I refuse to be bitten again.
compiler/stack_layout.m:
Rename MR_LIVE_LVAL to Mr_Live_Lval in the documentation.
Estimated hours taken: 0.25
library/array.m:
Put code for array bounds checking inside
`#ifndef ML_OMIT_ARRAY_BOUNDS_CHECKS', so that the user
can disable array bounds checking.
Estimated hours taken: 1
A few small changes towards supporting backtrackable destructive update
better.
library/mercury_builtin.m:
Add new insts mdi/1 and mostly_dead/0.
library/array.m:
Change the name of the inst for unique arrays
from `array' to `uniq_array' (someone got over-enthusiastic
with global search and replace when uniq_array.m was
renamed array.m).
Add insts for non-unique arrays and mostly-unique arrays.
library/bt_array.m:
Add a comment.
Estimated hours taken: 0.1
library/array.m:
Move `:- import_module std_util' declaration into the
interface, since it's needed there for the type `maybe(T)'
used by array__bsearch.
Estimated hours taken: 6
The main purpose of this change is to rename array.m as bt_array.m, and
uniq_array.m as array.m. The interfaces of those two modules have grown
slightly so that they match a little more closely. Details are in the
file NEWS.
The implementation of bt_array (formerly array) has been changed to use
a slightly more efficient implementation.
NEWS:
Interface changes documented.
library/array.m:
library/bt_array.m:
Changes mentioned above and detailed in the NEWS file.
library/uniq_array.m:
Bereft of life and resting in peace.
library/io.m:
library/library.m:
library/std_util.m:
library/term.m:
compiler/base_type_layout.m:
runtime/deep_copy.c:
runtime/type_info.h:
Minor changes to fix the special case of base_type_layout
operations for arrays rather than uniq_arrays.
tests/hard_coded/write.exp:
tests/hard_coded/write.m:
Test writing of arrays.
tests/general/array_test.exp:
tests/general/array_test.m:
Test some array/bt_array operations.
Estimated hours taken: 3
Enable --warn-interface-imports by default. This was turned off while
list and term were defined in mercury_builtin.m, since it caused many
warnings.
Fix all the unused interface imports that have been added since then.
compiler/options.m:
Enable --warn-interface-imports by default.
compiler/module_qual.m:
Fix formatting inconsistencies with module names in warning
messages. (".m" was not appended to module names if there was
only one module).
compiler/*.m:
library/*.m:
tests/invalid/type_loop.m:
tests/warnings/*.m:
Remove usused interface imports, or move them into
implementation (mostly bool, list and std_util).
Estimated hours taken: Not much at all. :-)
Fixed some stuff in array.m.
library/array.m:
Moved array__fetch_items into the interface. Some general
cleanups of the documentation.
library/*.m:
Improve the documentation.
Add a "Stability: low/medium/high" comment to all modules,
which describes the stability of the interface to that module.
ops.m:
Add `:' as an infix operator.
require.m:
Implement require/1, since higher-order predicates now work.
term.m:
Use the type `comparison_result' from mercury_builtin.m,
rather than defining an identical type `comparison'.
Makefile.mercury:
Override the MERCURY_LIB_OBJS variable when invoking ml.
This avoids some bootstrapping problems.
Also, add mercury_compile.nu.
Makefile.common:
Bump NU-Prolog's -u option up to 2000 (8M), to avoid some memory
problems.
array.nl, bintree.nl, char.nl, dir.nl, globals.nl, list.nl, map.nl, modes.nl,
prog_util.nl, stack.nl, std_util.nl, string.nl, term.nl:
Avoid the use of implied modes.
code_info.nl, bimap.nl, make_hlds.nl, mercury_compile.nl,
mercury_to_mercury.nl, unify_proc.nl:
Fix determinism errors which had previously not been discovered
because of either implied modes or running out of memory.
(Note that I had to change the interface to bimap__lookup, since
it's not possible to make it bidirectional.)
code_util.nl, llds.nl, opt_debug.nl, value_number.nl:
Rename `operator' as `binary_op'.
hlds.nl, code_info.nl, unify_gen.nl, llds.nl, opt_debug.nl, switch_gen.nl:
*** Handle simple cases of higher-order pred terms. ***
(We don't yet handle taking the address of an overloaded
predicate or a predicate with multiple modes.
We don't handle closures. call/1 and call/N are not yet implemented.
This has not yet been tested.)
make_hlds.nl:
Modify the mode priority ordering so that semidet modes get
selected before det ones.
llds.nl:
Don't include the priority part of the mode number in the mangled
label name. *** Note: this will break some things! ***
mercury_compile.nl:
Move the NU-Prolog hacks into mercury_compile.nu.nl.
switch_gen.nl:
Fix a simple logic bug in handling the grab/slap of the code_info.
prog_io.nl, builtins.nl, int.nl:
Fix bugs and omissions with handling of the new arithmetic operators.
prog_io.nl:
As a quick hack, strip off calls to io__gc_call
(this avoids spurious error messages which are due to
the fact that we don't get mode analysis right in those cases).
