9e0eac872d Convert the exception analysis so that it can use the intermodule-analysis
Estimated hours taken: 10
Branches: main

Convert the exception analysis so that it can use the intermodule-analysis
framework.

General cleanup of the exception analysis code, particularly the parts that
analyse higher-order calls based on the results of closure analysis.

TODO:
	- fix up the optimization passes so that they look up exception
	  information in the correct place when --intermodule-analysis
	  is enabled.  Information about imported procedures will be stored
	  in the analysis registry, not in the exception_info table as
	  is the case when --intermodule-optimization is used.
          (The same thing needs to be done for the trail usage
           optimization.)

compiler/exception_analysis.m:
	Support exception analysis using the intermodule analysis framework.

	Fix some layout problems

	Update the TODO list.

compiler/mmc_analysis.m:
	Add `exception_analysis' to the list of supported analyses.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Add a slot to store the exception analysis status for each procedure.

compiler/add_pragma.m:
compiler/goal_form.m:
	Conform to the above changes.

5f589e98fb Various cleanups for the modules in the compiler directory.
Estimated hours taken: 4
Branches: main

Various cleanups for the modules in the compiler directory.  The are
no changes to algorithms except the replacement of some if-then-elses
that would naturally be switches with switches and the replacement of
most of the calls to error/1.

compiler/*.m:
	Convert calls to error/1 to calls to unexpected/2 or sorry/2 as
	appropriate throughout most or the compiler.

	Fix inaccurate assertion failure messages, e.g. identifying the
	assertion failure as taking place in the wrong module.

	Add :- end_module declarations.

	Fix formatting problems and bring the positioning of comments
	into line with our current coding standards.

	Fix some overlong lines.

	Convert some more modules to 4-space indentation.  Fix some spots
	where previous conversions to 4-space indentation have stuffed
	the formatting of the code up.

	Fix a bunch of typos in comments.

	Use state variables in more places; use library predicates
	from the sv* modules where appropriate.

	Delete unnecessary and duplicate module imports.

	Misc. other small cleanups.

21685c9e22 Improve the error messages generated for determinism errors involving committed
Estimated hours taken: 6
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.

tests/invalid/det_errors_cc.{m,err_exp}:
	Add this new test case to test the error messages for cc contexts.

tests/invalid/det_errors_deet.{m,err_exp}:
	Add this new test case to test the error messages for unifications
	inside function symbols.

tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
	Add the new test cases.

b2012c0c0e Rename the types 'type', 'inst' and 'mode' to 'mer_type', 'mer_inst'
Estimated hours taken: 8
Branches: main

compiler/*.m:
	Rename the types 'type', 'inst' and 'mode' to 'mer_type', 'mer_inst'
	and 'mer_mode'. This is to avoid the need to parenthesize these type
	names in some contexts, and to prepare for the possibility of a parser
	that considers those words to be reserved words.

	Rename some other uses of those names (e.g. as item types in
	recompilation.m).

	Delete some redundant synonyms (prog_type, mercury_type) for mer_type.

	Change some type names (e.g. mlds__type) and predicate names (e.g.
	deforest__goal) to make them unique even without module qualification.

	Rename the function symbols (e.g. pure, &) that need to be renamed
	to avoid the need to parenthesize them. Make their replacement names
	more expressive.

	Convert some more modules to four space indentation.

	Avoid excessively long lines, such as those resulting from the
	automatic substitution of 'mer_type' for 'type'.

	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
	or vice versa is an ever rarer change.

881033facb Introduce a distinction between variables that are typed according to the
Estimated hours taken: 15
Branches: main

Introduce a distinction between variables that are typed according to the
external view of a procedure, in which the types may contain an existentially
quantified type variable, and variables that are typed according to the
internal view of a procedure, in which existentially quantified type
variables may be bound to a known type.  The distinction is maintained by
adding "exists_cast" goals which assign an internal variable to its
corresponding external variable.

Any output head variable which is existentially typed and for which the
external view differs from the internal view is replaced by a new variable.
An exists_cast goal is added to the end of the procedure which casts the
old headvar to the new one.  We also do the same for any type_infos and
typeclass_infos that are output.

Exists casts are implemented as a variant on unsafe_cast generic calls.
We also add other variants to distinguish the different kinds of casts:
	- equiv_casts for when the types are the same modulo equivalence
	  types;
	- unsafe_type_casts for when the types are different but the insts
	  are compatible; and
	- unsafe_type_inst_casts for when the type and inst are changed by
	  the cast.

The purpose of this change is to make it possible to include both the
internal and external views in the rtti_varmaps structure.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Perform the transformation on proc_infos to include the exists_cast
	goals.  This is done at the end of the polymorphism transformation,
	when we recompute the argument types for the newly transformed
	procedure.  The clauses_infos are left untouched by this
	transformation, since after this stage they should no longer be used.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Modify the generic_call type to include the type of cast.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Modify the generic_call_id type to include the type of cast.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Add an argument to `generate_unsafe_cast' which specifies the type
	of cast to generate.

compiler/higher_order.m:
	Use the predicate in goal_util to generate the cast, instead of doing
	it manually.

compiler/prog_rep.m:
	All variants of the cast generic call are represented in the same
	way.  This is to avoid to the need to change the format of static
	data in programs compiled with full declarative debugging.  If we
	do need the distinction to be made here, then that can be done as
	a separate change.

compiler/purity.m:
	Calls to private_builtin.unsafe_type_cast are translated into
	unsafe_type_cast generic calls.

compiler/aditi_builtin_ops.m:
	Use unsafe_type_inst_cast when casting between aditi_bottom_up
	closures and their transformed versions.

compiler/common.m:
	Use unsafe_type_cast when generating assignments for variables whose
	types do not match exactly.

compiler/unify_proc.m:
	Use equiv_type_cast when generating casts in unification, comparison
	and initialisation clauses for equivalence types.

	Use unsafe_type_cast when casting enum types to integers for the
	purposes of comparison or unification.

	Handle the new generic_calls.

Estimated hours taken: 12
Branches: main

Replace the some() HLDS goal with a more general scope() goal, which can be
used not just for existential quantification but also for other purposes.

The main such purposes are new goal types that allow the programmer
to annotate arbitrary goals, and not just whole procedure bodies, with the
equivalents of promise_pure/promise_semipure and promise_only_solution:

	promise_pure ( <impure/semipure goal> )
	promise_semipure ( <impure goal> )

	promise_equivalent_solutions [OutVar1, OutVar2] (
		<cc_multi/cc_nondet goal that computed OutVar1 & OutVar2>
	)

Both are intended to be helpful in writing constraint solvers, as well as in
other situations.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Document the new constructs.

library/ops.m:
	Add the keywords of the new constructs to the list of operators.
	Since they work similarly to the "some" operator, they have the same
	precedence.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Replace the some(Vars, SubGoal) HLDS construct, with its optional
	keep_this_commit attribute, with the new scope(Reason, SubGoal)
	construct. The Reason argument may say that this scope is an
	existential quantification, but it can also say that it represents
	a purity promise, the introduction of a single-solution context
	with promise_equivalent_solutions, or a decision by a compiler pass.

	It can also say that the scope represents a set of goals that all arise
	from the unraveling of a unification between a variable and a ground
	term. This was intended to speed up mode checking by significantly
	reducing the number of delays and wakeups, but the cost of the scopes
	themselves turned out to be bigger than the gain in modechecking speed.

	Update the goal_path_step type to refer to scope goals instead of just
	existential quantification.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add new function symbols to the type we use to represent goals in items
	to stand for the new Mercury constructs.

compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
	Add code to read in the new language constructs.

compiler/prog_io_util.m:
	Add a utility predicate for use by the new code in prog_io_goal.m.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Convert the item representation of the new constructs to the HLDS
	representation.

	Document how the from_ground_term scope reason would work, but do not
	enable the code.

compiler/purity.m:
	When checking the purity of goals, respect the new promise_pure and
	promise_semipure scopes. Generate warnings if such scopes are
	redundant.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Make the insides of promise_equivalent_solutions goals single solution
	contexts.

compiler/det_report.m:
	Provide mechanisms for reporting inappropriate usage of
	promise_equivalent_solutions goals.

compiler/instmap.m:
	Add a utility predicate for use by one of the modules above.

9521818650 Get the purity check pass to not issue warnings about unnecessary purity
Estimated hours taken: 16
Branches: main

Get the purity check pass to not issue warnings about unnecessary purity
annotations on compiler-generated predicates. The problem I am addressing
is that when an optimization such as type specialization creates a clone of
a predicate, that predicate gets all the original predicate's annotations.
During the creation of a .opt file, purity checking sees the clauses of the
original predicate and knows that the annotation is not redundant, but doesn't
know that about the copy, since it has no definition at all (it doesn't need
one).

The fix is to put into each pred_info an indication of where the predicate
came from, and to never warn about unnecessary purity annotations of predicates
that the programmer didn't write.

This diff also uses the origin indication to record human-usable names of
compiler-generated or compiler-transformed predicates in RTTI for use by the
debugger.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Replace two fields in pred_infos, that say (a) whether the predicate
	is a special (unify/compare/index/init) predicate and (b) whether
	it is a type class method implementation, with an origin field saying
	where the predicate came from. This field has several alternatives,
	special preds and type class method implementation being only two.

	Make the predicates that create pred_infos take an argument specifing
	where the predicate comes from.

	Replace a copy of one of the old fields in rtti_proc_labels with
	the new one.

	Make the name of the existing function more descriptive.

compiler/purity.m:
	Use the origin field to suppress unnecessary annotation warnings for
	compiler-generated predicates.

compiler/layout_out.m:
	Use the origin field to generate more human-friendly names for
	predicates, instead of the existing linker-friendly names. The
	debugger doesn't insist on predicate names being unique, even
	within a module.

compiler/*.m:
	Conform to the changed interface of hlds_pred.m. The most significant
	changes were for recording the origin of new predicates. In one case
	(dnf.m) it also involved passing the required information down to the
	place where the new predicates were created through the dnf_info tuple
	instead of separate arguments, and switching to state variable
	notation.

a3352a6e5d Do not include :- import_module' and :- use_module' declarations
Estimated hours taken: 22
Branches: main

Do not include `:- import_module' and `:- use_module' declarations
in the implementation section of .int and .int2 files unless
the types that they export are required by the definition of
an equivalence type.  This should help prevent unnecessary
recompilations when new imports are made in the implementation
of modules.

Break up check_hlds.type_util so that predicates that do
not require access to the HLDS are placed in a new module,
parse_tree.prog_type.  The above change requires some of
these predicates.  This also removes one of the dependencies
between the parse_tree package on modules of the check_hlds
package.

Remove the remaining such dependency by moving
inst_constrains_unconstrained_var/1 from check_hlds.inst_util
to parse_tree.prog_mode.  None of the modules in parse_tree
now depend upon modules in check_hlds.

Modify the parser so that import_module declarations
that specify more than one module are replaced by multiple
import_module declarations, with one module per declaration.
This makes the above change easier to implement and is in
any case required by the upcoming diff for canonicalizing
module interfaces.  We also do the same for use_module and
include_module declarations.

compiler/modules.m:
	Don't import modules in the implementation section
	of interface files unless they are required by the
	definition of equivalence types.

compiler/prog_type.m:
	New module.  Move procedures from type_util that do
	not depend on the HLDS to here so that we can use them
	when generating interface files.

	XXX There are probably others that could be moved as
	well - I only moved those that were immediately useful.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Delete the procedures that have been moved to the
	new prog_type module.

compiler/prog_io.m:
	Remove the dependency on check_hlds.inst_util.

Estimated hours taken: 17
Branches: main

This adds a module mdbcomp__trace_counts that reads in the
.mercury_trace_counts files produced by the compiler's trace mechanism.
The format of said files was slightly changed.

As the new module is to be used by the compiler and the debugger, it is
placed in the mdbcomp module.  This required bringing some types from the
compiler into a new module within mdbcomp.

browser/trace_counts.m:
	New module for reading execution trace summaries.

browser/prim_data.m:
	New module holding types and predicates moved in from the compiler.
	Types:
		pred_or_func, sym_name, module_name, proc_label,
		special_pred_id, trace_port
	Predicates:
		string_to_sym_name, insert_module_qualifier

	The mode field of proc_label is now an int instead of a proc_id
	to avoid pulling proc_id into mdbcomp.

browser/mdbcomp.m:
	Add trace_counts and prim_data to the mdbcomp module.

browser/declarative_execution.m:
	Renamed mdb's definition of module_name to flat_module_name
	to avoid conflicts with the definition in mdbcomp__prim_data.

runtime/mercury_trace_base.c:
	In the format of .mercury_trace_counts, write module and predicate
	names now use quoted atom syntax so that names with spaces and
	non-printable characters can be machine-parsed.

980afa90c5 Add an analysis that tries to identify those procedures
Estimated hours taken: 70
Branches: main

Add an analysis that tries to identify those procedures
in a module that will not throw an exception.
(I guess it may be more accurate to call it a non-exception analysis).

For those procedures that might throw exceptions the
analysis further tries to distinguish between those
that throw an exception as a result of a call to throw
and those that throw an exception as a result of a
call to a unification/comparison predicate that may involve
calls to user-defined equality/comparison predicates that throw
exceptions.

This sort of thing used to be done by the termination analysis,
where being able to prove termination was equated with not
throwing an exception.  This no longer works now that
the termination analyser considers exception.throw/1 to
be terminating - and in fact it never quite worked anyway
because the termination analyser was not handling things
like foreign code and user-defined equality and comparison
predicates correctly.

There are currently a few limitations, the main ones being:

* we currently use transitive-intermodule optimization rather
  than the intermodule-analysis framework.  This may causes
  problems when their are cycles in the module dependency graph.

* we currently assume that all calls to higher-order predicates
  may result in an exception being thrown.

* we currently assume that all foreign procs that make calls
  back to Mercury may throw exceptions.

* we currently assume that all solver types and existentially
  quantified types might result in an exception being thrown.

It should be possible to remove these limitations in later
versions.

This diff also modifies the cannot_loop_or_throw family of
predicates in goal_form.m.  There are now two versions of each
predicate; one that can make use of information from the
termination and exception analyses and one that cannot.
