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. |

Add new fields to the goal_info structure for region based memory management.
Estimated hours taken: 4 Branches: main Add new fields to the goal_info structure for region based memory management. The fields are currently unused, but (a) Quan will add the code to fill them in, and then (b) I will modify the code generator to use the filled in fields. compiler/hlds_goal.m: Make the change described above. Group all the procedures that access goal_info components together. Some of the getters were predicates while some were functions, so this diff changes them all to be functions. (The setters remain predicates.) compiler/*.m: Trivial changes to conform to the change in hlds_goal.m. In simplify.m, break up a huge (800+ line) predicate into smaller pieces. |

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. compiler/llds.m: 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. compiler/*.m: Conform to the changes above. compiler/*.m: browser/*.m: slice/*.m: Conform to the change to mdbcomp. library/sparse_bitset.m: Use some better variable names. |

This diff changes a few types from being defined as equivalent to a pair
Estimated hours taken: 10 Branches: main This diff changes a few types from being defined as equivalent to a pair to being discriminated union types with their own function symbol. This was motivated by an error message (one of many, but the one that broke the camel's back) about "-" being used in an ambiguous manner. It will reduce the number of such messages in the future, and will make compiler data structures easier to inspect in the debugger. The most important type changed by far is hlds_goal, whose function symbol is now "hlds_goal". Second and third in importance are llds.instruction (function symbol "llds_instr") and prog_item.m's item_and_context (function symbol "item_and_context"). There are some others as well. In several places, I rearranged predicates to factor the deconstruction of goals into hlds_goal_expr and hlds_goal_into out of each clause into a single point. In many places, I changed variable names that used "Goal" to refer to just hlds_goal_exprs to use "GoalExpr" instead. I also changed variable names that used "Item" to refer to item_and_contexts to use "ItemAndContext" instead. This should make reading such code less confusing. I renamed some function symbols and predicates to avoid ambiguities. I only made one algorithmic change (at least intentionally). In assertion.m, comparing two goals for equality now ignores goal_infos for all kinds of goals, whereas previously it ignored them for most kinds of goals, but for shorthand goals it was insisting on them being equal. This seemed to me to be a bug. Pete, can you confirm this? |

Implement the trace goal construct we discussed, for now for the LLDS backends
Estimated hours taken: 70
Branches: main
Implement the trace goal construct we discussed, for now for the LLDS backends
only.
Since the syntax of trace goals is non-trivial, useful feedback on syntax
errors inside trace goal attributes is essential. With the previous setup, this
wasn't possible, since the code that turned terms into parse tree goals turned
*all* terms into goals; it couldn't recognize any errors, sweeping them under
the rug as calls. This diff changes that. Now, if this code recognizes a
keyword that indicates a particular construct, it insists on the rest of the
code following the syntax required for that construct, and returns error
messages if it doesn't.
We handle the trace goal attributes that specify state variables to be threaded
through the trace goal (either the I/O state or a mutable variable) in
add_clause.m, at the point at which we transform the list of items to the HLDS.
We handle the compile-time condition on trace goals in the invocation of
simplify at the end of semantics analysis, by eliminating the goal if the
compile-time condition isn't met. We handle run-time conditions on trace goals
partially in the same invocation of simplify: we transform trace goals with
runtime conditions into an if-then-else with the trace goal as the then part
and `true' as the else part, the condition being a foreign_proc that is handled
specially by the code generator, that special handling being to replace
the actual code of the foreign_proc (which is a dummy) with the evaluation of
the runtime condition.
Since these changes require significant changes to some of our key data
structures, I took the liberty of doing some renaming of function symbols
at the same time to avoid using ambiguities with respect to language keywords.
library/ops.m:
Add "trace" as an operator.
compiler/prog_data.m:
Define data types to represent the various attributes of trace goals.
Rename some function symbols to avoid ambiguities.
compiler/prog_item.m:
Extend the parse tree representation of goals with a trace goal.
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
Output the new kind of goal and its components.
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
Extend the HLDS representation of scopes with a scope_reason
representing trace goals.
Add a mechanism (an extra argument in foreign_procs) to allow
the representation of goals that evaluate runtime trace conditions.
Since this requires modifying all code that traverses the HLDS,
do some renames that were long overdue: rename not as negation,
rename call as plain_call, and rename foreign_proc as
call_foreign_proc. These renames all avoid using language keywords
as function symbols.
Change the way we record goals' purities. Instead of optional features
to indicate impure or semipure, which is error-prone, use a plain
field in the goal_info, accessed in the usual way.
Add a way to represent that a goal contains a trace goal, and should
therefore be treated as if it were impure when considering whether to
optimize it away.
Reformat some comments describing function symbols.
compiler/hlds_out.m:
Output the new construct in the HLDS.
compiler/prog_io_util.m:
Generalize the maybe[123] types to allow the representation of more
than one error message. Add functions to extract the error messages.
Add a maybe4 type. Rename the function symbols of these types to
avoid massive ambiguity.
Change the order of some predicates to bring related predicates
next to each other.
compiler/prog_io.m:
compiler/prog_io_dcg.m:
compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
Rework these modules almost completely to find and accumulate syntax
errors as terms are being parsed. In some cases, this allowed us to
replace "XXX this is a hack" markers with meaningful error-reporting
code.
In prog_io_goal.m, add code for parsing trace goals.
In a bunch of places, update obsolete coding practices, such as using
nested chains of closures instead of simple sequential code, and
using A0 and A to refer to values of different types (terms and goals
respectively). Use more meaningful variable names.
Break up some too-large predicates.
compiler/superhomogeneous.m:
Find and accumulate syntax errors as terms are being parsed.
compiler/add_clause.m:
Add code to transform trace goals from the parse tree to the HLDS.
This is where the IO state and mutable variable attributes of trace
goals are handled.
Eliminate the practice of using the naming scheme Body0 and Body
to refer to values of different types (prog_item.goal and hlds_goal
respectively).
Use error_util for some error messages.
library/private_builtin.m:
Add the predicates referred to by the transformation in add_clause.m.
compiler/goal_util.m:
Rename a predicate to avoid ambiguity.
compiler/typecheck.m:
Do not print error messages about missing clauses if some errors have
been detected previously.
compiler/purity.m:
Instead of just computing purity, compute (and record) also whether
a goal contains a trace goal. However, treat trace goals as pure.
compiler/mode_info.m:
Add trace goals as a reason for locking variables.
Rename some function symbols to avoid ambiguity.
compiler/modes.m:
When analyzing trace goal scopes, lock the scope's nonlocal variables
to prevent them from being further instantiated.
compiler/det_analysis.m:
Insist on the code in trace goal scopes being det or cc_multi.
compiler/det_report.m:
Generate the error message if the code in a trace goal scope isn't det
or cc_multi.
compiler/simplify.m:
At the end of the front end, eliminate trace goal scopes if their
compile-time condition is false. Transform trace goals with runtime
conditions as described at the top.
Treat goals that contain trace goals as if they were impure when
considering whether to optimize them away.
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
Tell simplify when it is being invoked at the end of the front end.
Rename a predicate to avoid ambiguity.
compiler/trace_params.m:
Provide the predicates simplify.m need to be able to evaluate the trace
goal conditions regarding trace levels.
compiler/trace.m:
compiler/trace_gen.m:
Rename the trace module as trace_gen, since "trace" is now an operator.
Rename some predicates exported by the module, now that it is no longer
possible to preface calls with "trace." as a module qualifier.
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
Document this name change.
compiler/options.m:
Rename the trace option as trace_level internally, since "trace"
is now an operator. The user-visible name remains the same.
Add the new --trace-flag option.
Delete an obsolete option.
compiler/handle_options.m:
Rename the function symbols of the grade_component type,
since "trace" is now an operator.
compiler/llds.m:
Extend the LLDS with a mechanism to refer to C global variables.
For now, these are used to refer to C globals that will be created
by mkinit to represent the initial values of the environment variables
referred to by trace goals.
compiler/commit_gen.m:
Check that no trace goal with a runtime condition survives to code
generation; they should have been transformed by simplify.m.
compiler/code_gen.m:
Tell commit_gen.m what kind of scope it is generating code for.
compiler/pragma_c_gen.m:
Generate code for runtime conditions when handling the foreign_procs
created by simplify.m.
compiler/code_info.m:
Allow pragma_c_gen.m to record what environment variables it has
generated references to.
compiler/proc_gen.m:
Record the set of environment variables a procedure refers to
in the LLDS procedure header, for efficient access by llds_out.m.
compiler/llds_out.m:
Handle the new LLDS construct, and tell mkinit which environment
variables need C globals created for them.
compiler/pd_util.m:
Rename some predicates to avoid ambiguity.
compiler/*.m:
Conform to the changes above, mainly the renames of function symbols
and predicates, the changed signatures of some predicates, and the new
handling of purity.
util/mkinit.c:
Generate the definitions and the initializations of any C globals
representing the initial status (set or not set) of environment
variables needed by trace goals.
library/assoc_list.m:
Add some predicates that are useful in prog_io*.m.
library/term_io.m:
Minor cleanup.
tests/hard_coded/trace_goal_{1,2}.{m,exp}:
New test cases to test the new construct, identical except for whether
the trace goal is enabled at compile time.
tests/hard_coded/trace_goal_env_{1,2}.{m,exp}:
New test cases to test the new construct, identical except for whether
the trace goal is enabled at run time.

Prepare for an extension of promise_equivalent_solutions that will allow us
Estimated hours taken: 5 Branches: main Prepare for an extension of promise_equivalent_solutions that will allow us to better handle values of user-defined types. The problem is that currently, the deconstruction of a value of such a type can be followed only by code that cannot fail, otherwise the cc_multi deconstruction is not in the required single-solution context. If the following code is naturally semidet, this can be worked around by turning it into det code returning a maybe and testing the maybe outside the promise_equivalent_solutions, but this is inefficient, and in any case it does not generalize to nondet code without even more horrendous inefficiency and inconvenience. (You have to create a nondet closure and call it outside the promise_equivalent_solutions.) The solution I came up with is something is to have a construct that contains - a list of deconstructions on types with user-defined equality, - a goal, and - the list of outputs of that goal. The idea is that this would be transformed into a conjunction of the first and second items, and wrapped inside a special kind of conj that provides a scope for the implicit promise, which is that the set of solutions of the goal in the second item doesn't depend on what concrete terms the deconstructions in the first item return out of the set of concrete terms they *could* return. The deconstructions in the first item would be marked to tell determinism analysis to effectively ignore the fact that they involve user-defined equality. The actual addition of that construct is left for a future change, after we agree on the syntax. compiler/hlds_goal.m: Generalize the existing promise_equivalent_solutions scope to a promise_solutions scope with a flag that says whether in the source code it was originally the existing "promise_equivalent_solutions" construct or the new construct (which doesn't exist yet, but is indicated by the symbol "same_solutions" for now). Replace the conj and par_conj hlds_goal_exprs with a single goal expression: conj with an additional argument which is either plain_conj or parallel_conj. This was part of an earlier design in which a third kind of disjunction took the role now assigned to the new kind of promise_solutions scope, but turned out to be a good idea anyway, since in many places the compiler does treat the two kinds of conjunctions the same. This part of the change is responsible for the fact that this change results in a net *reduction* of about 40 lines. Move the most frequently used kinds of goal expressions to the front of the type declaration to allow the compiler to make better decisions about tag allocation. Add the goal marker we will add to the deconstructions in the first item. Replace the true_goal and fail_goal predicates with functions to make them easier to use, and rename their variants that take a context argument to avoid unnecessary ambiguity. compiler/*.m: Conform to the change in hlds_goal.m. Misc changes to make code more robust, e.g. replacing semidet predicates on goal expressions with functions returning bool. Misc cleanups, e.g. removal of unnecessary module qualifications that made lines too long, renaming predicates whose names include "disj" if they are also used to process parallel conjunctions (since in both parallel conjunctions and in disjunctions the goals are independent), and turning semidet predicates that switch on goal expressions into bool functions (to make similar changes more rebust in the future). |

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.

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'. |

Replace the some() HLDS goal with a more general scope() goal, which can be
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.
compiler/deep_profiling.m:
Use one of the new scope reasons to prevent simplify from optimizing
away commits of goals that have been made impure, instead of the old
keep_this_commit goal feature.
compiler/modes.m:
Handle from_ground_term scopes when present; for now, they won't be
present, since make_hlds isn't creating them.
compiler/options.m:
Add two new compiler options, for use by implementors only, to allow
finer control over the amount of output one gets with --debug-modes.
(I used them when debugging the performance of the from_ground_term
scope reason.) The options are --debug-modes-minimal and
--debug-modes-verbose.
compiler/handle_options.m:
Make the options that are meaningful only in the presence of
--debug-modes imply --debug-modes, since this allows more convenient
(shorter) invocations.
compiler/mode_debug.m:
Respect the new options when deciding how much data to print
when debugging of the mode checking process is enabled.
compiler/switch_detect.m:
Rename a predicate to make it differ from another predicate by more
than just its arity.
compiler/passes_aux.m:
Bring this module up to date with our current style guidelines,
by using state variable syntax where appropriate.
compiler/*.m:
Minor changes to conform to the change in the HLDS and/or parse tree
goal type.
mdbcomp/program_representation.m:
Rename the some goal to the scope goal, and the same for path steps,
to keep them in sync with the HLDS.
browser/declarative_tree.m:
Conform to the change in goal representations.

Major improvements to tabling, of two types.
Estimated hours taken: 32
Branches: main
Major improvements to tabling, of two types. The first is the implementation
of the loopcheck and memo forms of tabling for model_non procedures, and the
second is a start on the implementation of a new method of implementing
minimal model tabling, one that has the potential for a proper fix of the
problem that we currently merely detect with the pneg stack (the detection
is followed by a runtime abort). Since this new method relies on giving each
own generator its own stack, the grade component denoting it is "mmos"
(minimal model own stack). The true name of the existing method is changed
from "mm" to "mmsc" (minimal model stack copy). The grade component "mm"
is now a shorthand for "mmsc"; when the new method works, "mm" will be changed
to be a shorthand for "mmos".

compiler/table_gen.m:
Implement the transformations required by the loopcheck and memo
tabling of model_non procedures, and the minimal model own stack
transformation.
The new implementation transformations use foreign_procs with extra
args, since there is no point in implementing them both that way and
with separate calls to library predicates. This required making the
choice of which method to use at the top level of each transformation.
Fix an oversight that hasn't caused problems yet but may in the future:
mark goals wrapping the original goals as not impure for determinism
computations.
compiler/handle_options.m:

Detect simultaneous calls for both forms of minimal model tabling,
and generate an error message. Allow for more than one error message

It no longer has a field for an answer num, because while it is ok

it is not ok to require a separate grade for debugging memo tabling
of model_non predicates. Instead of printing the answer numbers,
print the answers themselves when we need to identify solutions
for debugging.

The only such dependencies remaining now are on type_util.m. compiler/hlds_data.m: compiler/prog_data.m: Move the cons_id type from hlds_data to prog_data, since several parts of the parse tree data structure depend on it (particularly insts).

Reduce the overhead of all forms of tabling by eliminating in many cases
Estimated hours taken: 32
Branches: main
Reduce the overhead of all forms of tabling by eliminating in many cases
the overhead of transferring data across the C/Mercury boundary. These
involve lots of control transfers as well as assignments to and from
Mercury abstract machine registers, which are not real machine registers
on x86 machines. Benchmarking in Uppsala revealed this overhead to be
a real problem.
The way we do that is by changing the tabling transformation so that instead
of generating sequences of calls to predicates from library/table_builtin.m,
we generate sequences of calls to C macros from runtime/mercury_tabling_pred.h,
and emit the resulting code string as the body of a foreign_proc goal.
(The old transformation is still available via a new option,
--no-tabling-via-extra-args.)
Since the number of inputs and outputs of the resulting C code sequences
are not always fixed (they can depend on the number of input or output
arguments of predicate being transformed), implementing this required
adding to foreign_procs a new field that allows the specification of extra
arguments to be passed to and from the given foreign code fragment. For now,
this mechanism is implemented only by the C backends, since it is needed
only by the C backends. (We don't support yet tabling on other backends.)
To simplify the new implementation of the field on foreign_procs, consolidate
three existing fields into one. Each of these fields was a list with one
element per argument, so turning them into a single list with a combined record
per argument should also improve reliability, since it reduces the likelyhood
of updates leaving the data structure inconsistent.
The goal paths of components of a tabled predicate depend on whether
-no-tabling-via-extra-args was specified. To enable the expected outputs
of the debugger test cases testing tabling, we add a new mdb command,
goal_paths, that controls whether goal paths are printed by the debugger
at events, and turn off the printing of events in the relevant test cases.
Also, prepare for a future change to optimize the trie structure for
user-defined types by handling type_infos (and once we support them,
typeclass_infos) specially.
compiler/table_gen.m:
Change the tabling transformation along the lines described above.
To allow us to factor out as much of the new code as possible,
we change the meaning of the call_table_tip variable for minimal
model subgoals: instead of the trie node at the end of the answer
table, it is not now the subgoal reachable from it. This change
has no effect as yet, because we use call_table_tip variables
only to perform resets across retries in the debugger, and we
don't do retries across calls to minimal model tabled predicates.
Put predicates into logical groups.
library/table_builtin.m:
runtime/mercury_tabling_preds.h:
When the new transformations in table_gen.m generate foreign_procs
with variable numbers of arguments, the interfaces of those
foreign_procs often do not match the interfaces of the existing
library predicates at their core: they frequently have one more
or one fewer argument. To prevent any possible confusion, in such
cases we add a new variant of the predicate. These predicates
have the suffix _shortcut in their name. Their implementations
are dummy macros that do nothing; they serve merely as placeholders
before or after which the macros that actually do the work are
inserted.
Move the definitions of the lookup, save and restore predicates
into mercury_tabling_preds.h. Make the naming scheme of their
arguments more regular.
runtime/mercury_minimal_model.c:
runtime/mercury_tabling_preds.h:

foreign_procs with one, and add a new field describing the extra
arguments that may be inserted by table_gen.m.

more logical.

The tabling transformations can now generate significantly sized
foreign_procs bodies, which the LLDS code generator translates to
pragma_c instructions. Duplicating these by jump optimization
may lose more by worsening locality than it gains in avoiding jumps,

not to duplicate code sequences containing such pragma_cs.

This diff implements stack slot optimization for the LLDS back end based on
Estimated hours taken: 400
Branches: main
This diff implements stack slot optimization for the LLDS back end based on
the idea that after a unification such as A = f(B, C, D), saving the
variable A on the stack indirectly also saves the values of B, C and D.
Figuring out what subset of {B,C,D} to access via A and what subset to access
via their own stack slots is a tricky optimization problem. The algorithm we
use to solve it is described in the paper "Using the heap to eliminate stack
accesses" by Zoltan Somogyi and Peter Stuckey, available in ~zs/rep/stackslot.
That paper also describes (and has examples of) the source-to-source
transformation that implements the optimization.
The optimization needs to know what variables are flushed at call sites
and at program points that establish resume points (e.g. entries to
disjunctions and if-then-elses). We already had code to compute this
information in live_vars.m, but this code was being invoked too late.
This diff modifies live_vars.m to allow it to be invoked both by the stack
slot optimization transformation and by the code generator, and allows its
function to be tailored to the requirements of each invocation.
The information computed by live_vars.m is specific to the LLDS back end,
since the MLDS back ends do not (yet) have the same control over stack
frame layout. We therefore store this information in a new back end specific
field in goal_infos. For uniformity, we make all the other existing back end
specific fields in goal_infos, as well as the similarly back end specific
store map field of goal_exprs, subfields of this new field. This happens
to significantly reduce the sizes of goal_infos.
To allow a more meaningful comparison of the gains produced by the new
optimization, do not save any variables across erroneous calls even if
the new optimization is not enabled.
compiler/stack_opt.m:
New module containing the code that performs the transformation
to optimize stack slot usage.
compiler/matching.m:
New module containing an algorithm for maximal matching in bipartite
graphs, specialized for the graphs needed by stack_opt.m.
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
Invoke the new optimization if the options ask for it.
compiler/stack_alloc.m:
New module containing code that is shared between the old,
non-optimizing stack slot allocation system and the new, optimizing
stack slot allocation system, and the code for actually allocating
stack slots in the absence of optimization.
Live_vars.m used to have two tasks: find out what variables need to be
saved on the stack, and allocating those variables to stack slots.
Live_vars.m now does only the first task; stack_alloc.m now does
the second, using code that used to be in live_vars.m.
compiler/trace_params:
Add a new function to test the trace level, which returns yes if we
want to preserve the values of the input headvars.
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
Document the new modules (as well as trace_params.m, which wasn't
documented earlier).
compiler/live_vars.m:
Delete the code that is now in stack_alloc.m and graph_colour.m.
Separate out the kinds of stack uses due to nondeterminism: the stack
slots used by nondet calls, and the stack slots used by resumption
points, in order to allow the reuse of stack slots used by resumption
points after execution has left their scope. This should allow the
same stack slots to be used by different variables in the resumption
point at the start of an else branch and nondet calls in the then
branch, since the resumption point of the else branch is not in effect
when the then branch is executed.
If the new option --opt-no-return-calls is set, then say that we do not
need to save any values across erroneous calls.
Use type classes to allow the information generated by this module
to be recorded in the way required by its invoker.
Package up the data structures being passed around readonly into a
single tuple.
compiler/store_alloc.m:
Allow this module to be invoked by stack_opt.m without invoking the
follow_vars transformation, since applying follow_vars before the form
of the HLDS code is otherwise final can be a pessimization.
Make the module_info a part of the record containing the readonly data
passed around during the traversal.
compiler/common.m:
Do not delete or move around unifications created by stack_opt.m.
compiler/call_gen.m:
compiler/code_info.m:
compiler/continuation_info.m:
compiler/var_locn.m:
Allow the code generator to delete its last record of the location
of a value when generating code to make an erroneous call, if the new
--opt-no-return-calls option is set.
compiler/code_gen.m:
Use a more useful algorithm to create the messages/comments that
we put into incr_sp instructions, e.g. by distinguishing between
predicates and functions. This is to allow the new scripts in the
tool directory to gather statistics about the effect of the
optimization on stack frame sizes.
library/exception.m:
Make a hand-written incr_sp follow the new pattern.
compiler/arg_info.m:
Add predicates to figure out the set of input, output and unused
arguments of a procedure in several different circumstances.
Previously, variants of these predicates were repeated in several
places.
compiler/goal_util.m:
Export some previously private utility predicates.
compiler/handle_options.m:
Turn off stack slot optimizations when debugging, unless
--trace-optimized is set.
Add a new dump format useful for debugging --optimize-saved-vars.
compiler/hlds_llds.m:
New module for handling all the stuff specific to the LLDS back end
in HLDS goal_infos.
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
Move all the relevant stuff into the new back end specific field
in goal_infos.
compiler/notes/allocation.html:
Update the documentation of store maps to reflect their movement
into a subfield of goal_infos.
compiler/*.m:
Minor changes to accomodate the placement of all back end specific
information about goals from goal_exprs and individual fields of
goal_infos into a new field in goal_infos that gathers together
all back end specific information.
compiler/use_local_vars.m:
Look for sequences in which several instructions use a fake register
or stack slot as a base register pointing to a cell, and make those
instructions use a local variable instead.
Without this, a key assumption of the stack slot optimization,
that accessing a field in a cell costs only one load or store
instruction, would be much less likely to be true. (With this
optimization, the assumption will be false only if the C compiler's
code generator runs out of registers in a basic block, which for
the code we generate should be unlikely even on x86s.)
compiler/options.m:
Make the old option --optimize-saved-vars ask for both the old stack
slot optimization (implemented by saved_vars.m) that only eliminates
the storing of constants in stack slots, and the new optimization.
Add two new options --optimize-saved-vars-{const,cell} to turn on
the two optimizations separately.
Add a bunch of options to specify the parameters of the new
optimizations, both in stack_opt.m and use_local_vars.m. These are
for implementors only; they are deliberately not documented.
Add a new option, --opt-no-return-cells, that governs whether we avoid
saving variables on the stack at calls that cannot return, either by
succeeding or by failing. This is for implementors only, and thus
deliberately documented only in comments. It is enabled by default.
compiler/optimize.m:
Transmit the value of a new option to use_local_vars.m.
doc/user_guide.texi:
Update the documentation of --optimize-saved-vars.
library/tree234.m:
Undo a previous change of mine that effectively applied this
optimization by hand. That change complicated the code, and now
the compiler can do the optimization automatically.
tools/extract_incr_sp:
A new script for extracting stack frame sizes and messages from
stack increment operations in the C code for LLDS grades.
tools/frame_sizes:
A new script that uses extract_incr_sp to extract information about
stack frame sizes from the C files saved from a stage 2 directory
by makebatch and summarizes the resulting information.
tools/avg_frame_size:
A new script that computes average stack frame sizes from the files
created by frame_sizes.
tools/compare_frame_sizes:
A new script that compares the stack frame size information
extracted from two different stage 2 directories by frame_sizes,
reporting on both average stack frame sizes and on specific procedures
that have different stack frame sizes in the two versions.
