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.

Estimated hours taken: 1
Branches: main

Change some types that are defined as equivalences for pairs into
named d.u. types.

Fix a bug in with the handling of type class method calls in the
termination analyser.  We should not run pass 2 if we encounter
a method call during pass 1.

Add an XXX comment about some other possible bugs of a similar nature.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Define the type arg_size_term/0 as a d.u. type, not a pair.

compiler/term_errors.m:
	Define the type termination_error_context/0 as a d.u. type,
	not a pair.

	Change the semidet predicate indirect_error/1 into a det function
	is_indirect_error/1.

	Add the function is_fatal_error/1.
	(See change to termination.m below.)

compiler/term_pass2.m:
	Define the type call_weight_info/0 as a d.u. type, not a pair.

compiler/termination.m:
	Move the body of the closure that determines if an error is fatal
	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.)

compiler/unify_proc.m:
	Define the type unify_proc_id/0 as a d.u. type, not a pair.

compiler/goal_store.m:
	Define the type stored_goal/0 as a d.u. type, not a pair.

compiler/mode_errors.m:

Estimated hours taken: 3
Branches: main

Improve the performance of the compiler by making sure that the mode_info
structure contains only its most frequently updated and/or accessed fields
and that these fit into an eight-word memory cell, moving the rest of the
fields to the mode_sub_info structure. This improves performance on our
standard benchmark from 20.60 seconds to 19.06 seconds, an improvement of 7%.

compiler/mode_info.m:
	Make the change described above.

	Several fields of mode_sub_info were bools. Replace these with
	single-purpose types, to make them harder to mix up, especially
	during initialization.

	Similarly, replace the type of the field used for checking parallel
	conjunctions with a specialized type instead of a pair.

	Rename some predicates for greater consistency with the rest of the
	compiler.

	Rename field names to avoid ambiguities.

	Use the access predicates instead of field access syntax to access the
	fields of mode_info and mode_sub_info, to make any similar changes
	easier in the future, and also to make statistics about frequency
	of field accesses easier to gather.

compiler/modecheck_call.m:
compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
compiler/modes.m:
	Conform to the changes in mode_info.

compiler/modes.m:
compiler/unique_modes.m:
	Do not execute the (save, set to known value, restore) sequence
	for the "duplicated for switch" feature unless necessary. This
	avoids a bunch of accesses and updates to the mode_sub_info.

	In both cases, this required moving some code that would otherwise
	have had to be duplicated into an inlined predicate.

	In unique_modes.m, rename a predicate to allow its name to be used
	for the new inlined predicate.

compiler/Mercury.options:
	Change the inlining limit to allow those predicates to be inlined.

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.)

Fix a problem in compiler/error_util.m where the compiler would throw an
exception when attempting to eliminate duplicate error messages for output.
The problem was that error_util defined a data constructor (print_anything)
with a higher order argument; higher order terms cannot be compared.

ac651b033b Only report mode warnings if they occur in all modes.
Estimated hours taken: 5
Branches: main

Only report mode warnings if they occur in all modes.
simplify.m already had code to remove error_specs that do not occur in all
modes, so move this code to error_util.m and reuse it in modes.m.

Also only report mode warnings for user defined predicates.  Do not report them
for compiler generated predicates (after making the change in the previous
paragraph, the compiler issued a warning for a generated unification predicate
in term_to_xml.m).

compiler/cse_detection.m:
	Conform to new interface of modecheck_proc.

compiler/error_util.m:
	Add an abstract type error_spec_accumulator and predicates for
	working with this type.  The new type is used for accumulating
	errors over multiple modes of a predicate.

	The code for accumulating error specs has been moved from simplify.m.
	There was a bug in this code caused by the arguments of the pair
	in the error_spec_accumulator type getting mixed up.  This bug has now
	been fixed.

	Add mode_report_control to the modecheck phase, so we can mark which
	error specs should only be reported if they occur in all modes.

compiler/mode_errors.m:
	Delete report_mode_errors and report_mode_warnings, since these are
	no longer used.

	Export mode_error_info_to_spec and mode_warning_info_to_spec for
	converting mode errors and warnings to error specs.

	Conform to changes in error_util.m.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
	Do not supress warnings if the mode may use a subtype, since we
	want such warnings to be displayed if the occur in all modes.

	Only report mode warnings if the predicate is not a compiler generated
	predicate.

compiler/modes.m:
	Delete modecheck_pred_mode and modecheck_proc_info, since they are
	not used anywhere.

	In modecheck_proc and modecheck_proc_general report a list of
	error specs, instead of the number of errors.  These predicates are
	now no longer responsible for printing the errors, they just return
	the error specs.  We need to do it this way so we can accumulate the
	errors over all modes (eliminating any warnings that don't occur in
	all modes) before printing them.

	Report errors in modecheck_pred_mode_2, after all modes have been
	processed.

	Accumulate the error specs in modecheck_procs, using the new predicates
	in error_util.m.

	Move the code for only reporting the first error encountered for a proc
	from mode_errors.m to here.  Also improve the comment for that bit of
	code.

	Conform to changes in error_util.m.

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.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Write out the new pred_info and proc_info fields.

compiler/*.m:
	Conform to the changes in hlds_pred.m.

compiler/hlds_clauses.m:
	Avoid ambiguity by giving a prefix to the fields of the clauses_info
	type.

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.

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.

slice/*.m:
	Conform to the change to mdbcomp.

library/sparse_bitset.m:

ba93a52fe7 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?

f070e2a1b7 Convert the make_hlds stage of the compiler from printing out error messages
Estimated hours taken: 14
Branches: main

Convert the make_hlds stage of the compiler from printing out error messages
one at a time to gathering them all up and printing them all at once after
sorting and deleting duplicates. This approach makes it much easier to be
consistent about updating the exit status in the I/O state and the error count
in the module info, and indeed this diff fixes some bugs in this area.

This approach also means that instead of threading a pair of I/O states
through these modules, we now mostly thread through a list of error
specifications. In a couple of places, we create the I/O states we need
for printing progress messages using trace goals.

configure.in:
	Check that the installed compiler supports trace goals (perhaps with
	warnings), since the compiler now uses them.

5eee81204e A big step towards cleaning up the way we handle errors.
Estimated hours taken: 28
Branches: main

A big step towards cleaning up the way we handle errors. The main changes are

- the provision, in error_util.m, of a mechanism for completely specifying
  everything to do with a single error in one data structure,

- the conversion of typecheck_errors.m from using io.write_string to
  using this new capability,

- the conversion of mode_errors.m and det_report.m from using
  write_error_pieces to using this new capability, and

- consistently using the quoting style `symname'/N instead of `symname/N'
  in error_util and hlds_error_util (previously, error_util used the former
  but hlds_error_util used the latter).

This diff sets up later diffs which will collect all error specifications
in a central place and print them all at once, in order.

compiler/error_util.m:
	The new type error_spec, which completely specifies an error.
	An error_spec may have multiple components with different contexts
	and may have parts which are printed only under certain conditions,
	e.g. a given option being set. Each error_spec has a severity
	and also records which phase found the error.

	The new predicate write_error_spec takes care of updates of the exit
	status for errors and (if --halt-at-warn is set) for warnings. It also
	takes care of setting the flag that calls for the reminder about -E
	at the end.

	This diff also makes it simpler to use the ability to print arbitrary
	output. It adds the ability to include integers in messages directly,
	and the ability to create blank lines. It renames some function symbols
	to avoid ambiguities.

	Move a predicate that only used by typecheck_errors.m to that file.

compiler/hlds_error_util.m:
	Switch to the `symname'/N quoting style for describing predicates and
	procedures.

compiler/prog_util.m:
	Switch to the `symname'/N quoting style for describing
	sym_name_and_arity.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Provide a predicate to increment the number of errors not by one,
	but by the number of errors printed by write_error_spec.

	Fix some documentation rot.

compiler/typecheck_errors.m:
	Use write_error_spec instead of io.write_strings to print error
	messages. In several cases, improve the formatting of the messages
	printed.

	Mark a number of places where we don't (yet) update the number of
	errors in the module_info correctly.

	Rename the checkpoint predicate to avoid potential ambiguity with
	similar predicates in e.g. mode_info.

compiler/typecheck_info.m:
	Group the code for writing stuff out together in one bunch. For each
	such predicate, create another that returns a list of format components
	instead of doing I/O directly.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Move the code for writing inference messages here from
	typecheck_errors.m, since these messages aren't errors.

compiler/mode_errors.m:
compiler/det_report.m:
	Use write_error_spec instead of write_error_pieces. In the case of
	mode_errors.m, this means we now get correct the set of circumstances
	in which we set the flag that calls for the reminder about -E.

compiler/add_pragma.m:
compiler/add_type.m:
	Convert some code that used to use write_error_pieces to print error
	messages to use write_error_spec instead.

compiler/assertion.m:
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	Assertion.m used to contain some code to check for assertions in the
	interface that mention predicates that are not exported. Move most
	of this code to post_typecheck.m (which is where this code used to be
	called from). One small part, which is a test for a particular property
	of import_statuses, is moved to hlds_pred.m to be with all the other
	similar tests of import_statuses.

compiler/prog_util.m:
	Change unqualify_name from a predicate to a function.

compiler/pred_table.m:
compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Avoid some ambiguities by adding a suffix to the names of some
	predicates.

compiler/*.m:
	Conform to the changes above.

library/list.m:
	Add a function that was previously present (with different names)
	in two compiler modules.

tests/hard_coded/allow_stubs.exp:
	Update the format of the expected exception.

tests/invalid/errors2.err_exp2:
	Remove this file. As far as I can tell, it was never the correct
	expected output on the main branch. (It originated on the alias branch
	way back in the mists of time.)

tests/invalid/*.err_exp:
tests/invalid/purity/*.err_exp:
tests/warnings/*.exp:
	Update the format of the expected error messages.

tests/recompilation/*.err_exp.2:
	Update the format of the expected messages about what was modified.

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").

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/prog_item.m:
compiler/hlds_data.m:
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Rename function symbols as explained above.

	Conform to the function symbol renames.

	In some cases, rename other function symbols as well.

9d23d8e2e7 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

	Allow pragma_c_gen.m to record what environment variables it has

Estimated hours taken: 6
Branches: main, release

Make it an error for the (promised) purity of a foreign clause to disagree
with the declared purity of the corresponding predicate or function
declaration.  We only perform this check in the absence of a
promise_{pure,semipure} pragma for the predicate or function.

Previously this situation was sometimes picked up by purity analysis but not
in all cases.  For example, if a predicate was declared impure but the
foreign_proc was promised pure it wasn't reported.  In that particular case
it was a problem because if the foreign_proc did not have any outputs, then
simplify.m might have optimised its body away (which is how I noticed this).

Estimated hours taken: 16
Branches: main

When the typechecker finds highly ambiguous overloading, print what symbols
were overloaded, and where they occurred. Without this information, it is
very hard to fix the error if the predicate body is at all large.

Fix some software engineering problems encountered during this process.
Modify some predicates in error_util in order to simplify their typical usage.
Change the type_ctor type to be not simply a sym_name - int pair but a type
with its own identifying type constructor. Change several other types that

and the related simple_call_id) to have their own function symbols too.

compiler/typecheck_info.m:

	symbols encountered.

	what the overloaded symbols were and where they occurred.

compiler/error_util.m:

684ecfbd55 Undo my recent changes to purity error checking in the context of inst any
Estimated hours taken: 16
Branches: main

Undo my recent changes to purity error checking in the context of inst any
non-locals in negated contexts.

Implement a better way of handling the problem, as discussed on the mailing
list.  The new solution is to require that any goals featuring inst any
non-locals in a negated context must appear in a
promise_{pure,semipure,impure} context.  This is something of a compromise:
on the one hand it does require that the condition be explicitly recognised
by the programmer; on the other, it does not require that the "offending" goals
be individually identified (this is partly for pragmatic reasons: the earlier
approach required a plethora of awkward impurity declarations on goals that
would otherwise be considered completely pure).

compiler/mode_errors.m:
	Remove purity_error_should_be_impure and purity_error_wrongly_impure
	data constructors; add purity_error_should_be_in_promise_purity_scope.

compiler/mode_info.m:
	Replace the in_negated_context field with the in_promise_purity_scope
	field.

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

3fc6b3f128 Change the representation of types in the compiler.
Estimated hours taken: 30
Branches: main

Change the representation of types in the compiler.

We also add some support for handling kinds, which will be used later when we
have a kind system.  There are a number of places where kinds are not yet
handled correctly -- we assume that all kinds will be `star'.  Each of these
locations is flagged with a comment that contains "XXX kind inference:".


compiler/prog_data.m:
	Implement the new version of type (type).

	Change the definition of type_param to be a variable instead of a
	term, since all parameters must be variables anyway.

	Implement versions of varset.merge_* which work with tvarsets and
	produce renamings instead of substitutions.  Renamings are more
	convenient than substitutions because we don't need to know the
	kinds of type variables in order to build the renaming, and in any
	case the substitutions shouldn't have anything other than variables
	in the range so renamings will be more efficient and safe.

	Define the type of kinds, and provide a couple of utility predicates
	to operate on them.

compiler/prog_io.m:
	Parse type definition heads as a sym_name and list of type_params,
	rather than a functor.  Handle this change in other predicates.

	Allow parse errors to be returned by get_with_type/3, and handle
	these errors.

	Remove parse_type/2.  This predicate didn't do any processing, it
	just forwarded handling to convert_type/2.

compiler/prog_io_typeclass.m:
	Change type_is_functor_and_vars to handle the new representation
	of types.  In doing so, we retain the old behaviour that pure
	predicates pass this test, but no other pred or func types.  This
	behaviour is arguably incorrect, but there is little point changing
	the behaviour at the moment.  Instead we should remove these kind of
	restrictions entirely, but that should be done later.

compiler/prog_io_util.m:
	Provide predicates to both parse and unparse types.  We need to
	unparse types before printing them out, since we do a lot of special
	case handling when printing out terms and we don't want to duplicate
	this functionality for types.

compiler/module_qual.m:
	Remove report_invalid_type.  We now report ill-formed types during
	parsing.

compiler/superhomogeneous.m:
	Handle errors from the parsing of type expressions.

compiler/prog_out.m:
	Provide a predicate to convert builtin_types to their string names,
	and vice-versa.

compiler/prog_type.m:
	Add a bunch of simple tests to use on types which may have kind
	annotations present.  In such cases, types do not have a canonical
	representation so the simple handling of these tests is not what we
	want.  (Note that these are only required in early phases.  The kind
	annotations -- when they are implemented -- will be removed before
	type checking.)

	Consistently handle the application of renamings, substitutions and
	recursive substitutions to various data structures.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Implement mercury_output_type, mercury_format_type and
	mercury_type_to_string.  These convert the type to a term before
	formatting -- the reason for this is so that appropriate parentheses
	are used when formatting operators.  This results in some slight
	changes to error messages, which are reflected in changes to the
	expected output files in the tests.

	Remove the old version of mercury_type_to_string.

	Change the argument ordering of mercury_format_var to be consistent
	with mercury_format_type.  (Other predicates in this module should
	probably be changed in a similar way, since this argument ordering
	is more amenable to higher-order programming.  But that can be left
	for another change.)

compiler/type_util.m:
	Implement type unification.  The behaviour is much the same as the
	previous behaviour, except that we now handle apply/N types properly,
	and we also allow for kind annotations.

	Implement an occurs check for types.

	Remove the example definition of replace_eqv_type.  It isn't used and
	would no longer work anyway even if it would have worked before.

	Add a tvar_kind_map field to ctor_defn.

	The functions type_info_type and type_ctor_info_type now return
	types with `void' as their argument, rather than the type that the
	type_info or type_ctor_info was for.

	Remove type_util.real_vars/2, since it no longer does anything
	different from prog_type.vars/2.

	Remove the commented out implementation of type_to_ctor_and_args/3.
	Its implementation is in prog_type.m, and has changed significantly
	in any case.

compiler/add_clause.m:
	Move parse_purity_annotation/3 to prog_io_util.m.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	Remove apply_substitution_to_var_list/3, since we now have predicates
	in prog_type.m to handle such things.

compiler/continuation_info.m:
compiler/trace.m:
	Use prog_type.vars/2 instead of type_util.real_vars/2.  The two
	predicates have the same meaning now since type_infos don't contain
	any type variables.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add tvar_kind_map fields to hlds_type_defn and hlds_class_defn.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add a tvar_kind_map field to pred_info.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Add a tvar_kind_map field to poly_info.

	Remove unify_corresponding_types, which is no longer used.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Use mercury_output_type/5 instead of term_io__write_term/4 and
	mercury_output_term/5.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	Build the void substitution directly rather than building intermediate
	lists.

compiler/recompilation.version.m:
	Use term__list_subsumes instead of type_list_subsumes, which now
	operates only on types.  This follows up on what was suggested in
	an XXX comment.

compiler/typecheck_errors.m:
	Use unparse_type/2 to format error messages.

compiler/typecheck_info.m:
	Don't export write_type_with_bindings/5.  It is no longer used
	outside of this module.

compiler/*.m:
	Conform to the above changes.

library/rtti_implementation.m:
	Fix a syntax error that went undetected in our previous
	implementation, and amazingly enough was compiled correctly anyway.

library/term.m:
	Move the versions of term__unify, term__unify_list and
	term__list_subsumes that were implemented specifically for types
	to here.  The version of term_unify that takes a list of bound
	variables (i.e., variables that should not be bound any further)
	is used by the subsumption check, which in turn is used by
	recompilation.version.m.

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.

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.

bf2e37d199 Implemented the solver types design.
Estimated hours taken: 100s
Branches: main

Implemented the solver types design.

Solver types provide the means for adding constrained types to Mercury
programs.  A variable of a constrained type may have constraints placed
on it, limiting the values it may be bound to, *before* the variable is
actually bound to a particular value (cf. CLP(Z), CLP(R), CLP(FD) etc.)

Improve the scheduling of solver type goals by preferring deconstructions
over constructions followed by unifications.  This is arranged by allowing
solver type initialisation calls to be inserted only when all else fails.
(XXX This implementation is O(n^2).  I will fix things if this becomes an
issue in practice.)

I have also made some small, opportunistic cosmetic changes.  This
implementation has evolved through several design changes, during which some
functionality was added then later removed - I elected to preserve any
cleaned-up replacement code if removing the no-longer-needed-by-the-
solver-types-design functionality was easy to do.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Document solver types.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Changed the du_type and foreign_type constructors appropriately
	and added a new solver_type constructor.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Improved the code to write out the `where ...' part of
	a type definition and moved it to mercury_output.m.

compiler/inst_match.m:
	Added the pred inst_is_any/1.

compiler/inst_util.m:
	Added the pred inst_contains_unconstrained_var/1.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Added processing for solver types, in particular adding the
	compiler generated declarations and implementations of the
	conversion functions.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Added predicate mercury_output_where_attributes.

compiler/mode_info.m:
	Added a new field to mode_info to indicate whether solver type
	initialisation calls can be inserted by modecheck_conj_list_2.

compiler/mode_errors.m:
compiler/modecheck_call.m:
compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
compiler/modes.m:
	The compiler now inserts calls to initialisation preds, where
	necessary, before calls and at the end of procedures.  It does
	not yet do this at the end of disjuncts and its scheduling
	policy is naive (i.e. it performs terribly.)

	Added modecheck_conj_list_3 which allows modecheck_conj_list_2
	to insert initialisation calls for a single goal, then repeats
	if this succeeded in scheduling some delayed goals.

compiler/modules.m:
	XXX Reviewers: please look at the `rafe: XXX' comments and
	advise!

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Added the solver_type constructor and the special_type_details
	and solver_type_details types.

compiler/prog_io.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Parse the new syntax.
	Replaced get_maybe_equality_compare_preds with
	parse_type_decl_where_part_if_present.

compiler/prog_mode.m:
	Added funcs in_mode/1, out_mode/1, in_any_mode/0,
	out_any_mode/0, and any_inst/0.

compiler/special_pred.m:

	Changed special_pred_name to include the type name and arity
	with `__Unify__', `__Inex__' etc.

Estimated hours taken: 12
Branches: main

Remove almost all dependencies by the modules of parse_tree.m on the modules
of hlds.m. 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).
	Remove the need to import HLDS modules in prog_data.m by making the
	cons_ids that refer to procedure ids refer to them via a new type
	that contains shrouded pred_ids and proc_ids. Since pred_ids and
	proc_ids are abstract types in hlds_data, add predicates to hlds_data
	to shroud and unshroud them.

	Also move some other types, e.g. mode_id and class_id, from hlds_data
	to prog_data.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
compiler/prog_util.m:
	Move predicates for manipulating cons_ids from hlds_data to prog_util.

compiler/inst.m:
compiler/prog_data.m:
	Move the contents of inst.m to prog_data.m, since that is where it
	belongs, and since doing so eliminates a circular dependency.
	The separation doesn't serve any purpose any more, since we don't
	need to import hlds_data.m anymore to get access to the cons_id type.

compiler/mode_util.m:
compiler/prog_mode.m:
compiler/parse_tree.m:
	Move the predicates in mode_util that don't depend on the HLDS to a new
	module prog_mode, which is part of parse_tree.m.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.m:
	Mention prog_mode.m, and delete the mention of inst.m.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Move the predicates that depend on HLDS out of mercury_to_mercury.m
	to hlds_out.m. Export from mercury_to_mercury.m the predicates needed
	by the moved predicates.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
compiler/prog_out.m:
	Move predicates for printing parts of the parse tree out of hlds_out.m
	to prog_out.m, since mercury_to_mercury.m needs to use them.

compiler/purity.m:
compiler/prog_out.m:
	Move predicates for printing purities from purity.m, which is part
	of check_hlds.m, to prog_out.m, since mercury_to_mercury.m needs to use
	them.

compiler/passes_aux.m:
compiler/prog_out.m:
	Move some utility predicates (e.g. for printing progress messages) from
	passes_aux.m to prog_out.m, since some predicates in submodules of
	parse_tree.m need to use them.

compiler/foreign.m:
compiler/prog_data.m:
	Move some types from foreign.m to prog_data.m to allow the elimination
	of some dependencies on foreign.m from submodules of parse_tree.m.

compiler/*.m:
	Conform to the changes above, mostly by updating lists of imported
	modules and module qualifications. In some cases, also do some local
	cleanups such as converting predicate declarations to predmode syntax
	and fixing white space.
