c8e4004825 This diff makes code_info.m and many callers of its predicates easier to read
Estimated hours taken: 4
Branches: main

This diff makes code_info.m and many callers of its predicates easier to read
and to maintain, but contains no changes in algorithms whatsoever.

compiler/code_info.m:
	Bring this module into line with our current coding standards.
	Use predmode declarations, functions, and state variable syntax
	when appropriate.

	Reorder arguments of predicates where necessary for the use of state
	variable syntax, and where this improves readability.

	Where a predicate returned its input code_info unchanged, purely
	to allow the convenient use of DCG notation in the caller, delete the
	unnecessary output argument. This should make the caller somewhat more
	efficient, since it can avoid updating the stack slot holding the
	current code_info.

	Replace old-style lambdas with new-style lambdas or with partially
	applied named procedures.

compiler/*.m:
	Conform to the changes in code_info.m. This mostly means using the
	new argument orders of predicates exported by hlds_pred.m, and
	using state variable notation.

f007b45df8 Implement the infrastructure for term size profiling.
Estimated hours taken: 400
Branches: main

Implement the infrastructure for term size profiling. This means adding two
new grade components, tsw and tsc, and implementing them in the LLDS code
generator. In grades including tsw (term size words), each term is augmented
with an extra word giving the number of heap words it contains; in grades
including tsc (term size cells), each term is augmented with an extra word
giving the number of heap cells it contains. The extra word is at the start,
at offset -1, to leave almost all of the machinery for accessing the heap
unchanged.

For now, the only way to access term sizes is with a new mdb command,
"term_size <varspec>". Later, we will use term sizes in conjunction with
deep profiling to do experimental complexity analysis, but that requires
a lot more research. This diff is a necessary first step.

The implementation of term size profiling consists of three main parts:

- a source-to-source transform that computes the size of each heap cell
  when it is constructed (and increments it in the rare cases when a free
  argument of an existing heap cell is bound),

- a relatively small change to the code generator that reserves the extra
  slot in new heap cells, and

- extensions to the facilities for creating cells from C code to record
  the extra information we now need.

The diff overhauls polymorphism.m to make the source-to-source transform
possible. This overhaul includes separating type_ctor_infos and type_infos
as strictly as possible from each other, converting type_ctor_infos into
type_infos only as necessary. It also includes separating type_ctor_infos,
type_infos, base_typeclass_infos and typeclass_infos (as well as voids,
for clarity) from plain user-defined type constructors in type categorizations.
This change needs this separation because values of those four types do not
have size slots, but they ought to be treated specially in other situations
as well (e.g. by tabling).

The diff adds a new mdb command, term_size. It also replaces the proc_body
mdb command with new ways of using the existing print and browse commands
("print proc_body" and "browse proc_body") in order to make looking at
procedure bodies more controllable. This was useful in debugging the effect
of term size profiling on some test case outputs. It is not strictly tied
to term size profiling, but turns out to be difficult to disentangle.

compiler/size_prof.m:
	A new module implementing the source-to-source transform.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Mention the new module.

compiler/transform_hlds.m:
	Include size_prof as a submodule of transform_hlds.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	If term size profiling is enabled, invoke its source-to-source
	transform.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Extend construction unifications with an optional slot for recording
	the size of the term if the size is a constant, or the identity of the
	variable holding the size, if the size is not constant. This is
	needed by the source-to-source transform.

compiler/quantification.m:
	Treat the variable reference that may be in this slot as a nonlocal
	variable of construction unifications, since the code generator needs
	this.

compiler/compile_target_code.m:
	Handle the new grade components.

compiler/options.m:
	Implement the options that control term size profiling.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document the options and grade components that control term size
	profiling, and the term_size mdb command. The documentation is
	commented out for now.

	Modify the wording of the 'u' HLDS dump flag to include other details
	of unifications (e.g. term size info) rather than just unification
	categories.

	Document the new alternatives of the print and browse commands. Since
	they are for developers only, the documentation is commented out.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Handle the implications of term size profiling grades.

	Add a -D flag value to print HLDS components relevant to HLDS
	transformations.

compiler/modules.m:
	Import the new builtin library module that implements the operations
	needed by term size profiling automatically in term size profiling
	grades.

	Switch the predicate involved to use state var syntax.

compiler/prog_util.m:
	Add predicates and functions that return the sym_names of the modules
	needed by term size profiling.

compiler/code_info.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:
compiler/var_locn.m:
 	Reserve an extra slot in heap cells and fill them in in unifications
	marked by size_prof.

compiler/builtin_ops.m:
	Add term_size_prof_builtin.term_size_plus as a builtin, with the same
	implementation as int.+.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Disable warnings about clauses for builtins while the change to
	builtin_ops is bootstrapped.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Export predicates that generate goals to create type_infos and
	type_ctor_infos to add_to_construct.m. Rewrite their documentation
	to make it more detailed.

	Make orders of arguments amenable to the use of state variable syntax.

	Consolidate knowledge of which type categories have builtin unify and
	compare predicates in one place.

	Add code to leave the types of type_ctor_infos alone: instead of
	changing their types to type_info when used as arguments of other
	type_infos, create a new variable of type type_info instead, and
	use an unsafe_cast. This would make the HLDS closer to being type
	correct, but this new code is currently commented out, for two
	reasons. First, common.m is currently not smart enough to figure out
	that if X and Y are equal, then similar unsafe_casts of X and Y
	are also equal, and this causes the compiler do not detect some
	duplicate calls it used to detect. Second, the code generators
	are also not smart enough to know that if Z is an unsafe_cast of X,
	then X and Z do not need separate stack slots, but can use the same
	slot.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Add utility predicates for returning the types of type_infos and
	type_ctor_infos, for use by new code in polymorphism.m.

	Move some utility predicates here from other modules, since they
	are now used by more than one module.

	Rename the type `builtin_type' as `type_category', to better reflect
	what it does. Extend it to put the type_info, type_ctor_info,
	typeclass_info, base_typeclass_info and void types into categories
	of their own: treating these types as if they were a user-defined
	type (which is how they used to be classified) is not always correct.
	Rename the functor polymorphic_type to variable_type, since types
	such as list(T) are polymorphic, but they fall into the user-defined
	category. Rename user_type as user_ctor_type, since list(int) is not
	wholly user-defined but falls into this category. Rename pred_type
	as higher_order_type, since it also encompasses functions.

	Replace code that used to check for a few of the alternatives
	of this type with code that does a full switch on the type,
	to ensure that they are updated if the type definition ever
	changes again.

compiler/pseudo_type_info.m:
	Delete a predicate whose updated implementation is now in type_util.m.

compiler/mlds_to_c.m:
compiler/mlds_to_gcc.m:
compiler/mlds_to_il.m:
compiler/mlds_to_java.m:
	Still treat type_infos, type_ctor_infos, typeclass_infos and
	base_typeclass_infos as user-defined types, but prepare for when
	they won't be.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Require interface typeinfo liveness when term size profiling is
	enabled.

	Add term_size_profiling_builtin.increase_size as a
	no_type_info_builtin.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Print the size annotations on unifications if HLDS dump flags call
	for unification details. (The flag test is in the caller of the
	modified predicate.)

compiler/llds.m:
	Extend incr_hp instructions and data_addr_consts with optional fields
	that allow the code generator to refer to N words past the start of
	a static or dynamic cell. Term size profiling uses this with N=1.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	When allocating memory on the heap, use the macro variants that
	specify an optional offset, and specify the offset when required.

	Replace all uses of MR_incr_hp with MR_offset_incr_hp, to ensure
	that we haven't overlooked any places where offsets may need to be
	specified.

	Fix formatting of foreign_procs.

	Use new macros defined by the runtime system when constructing
	terms (which all happen to be lists) in C code. These new macros
	specify the types of the cell arguments, allowing the implementation
	to figure out the size of the new cell based on the sizes of its
	fields.

library/private_builtin.m:
	Define some constant type_info structures for use by these macros.
	They cannot be defined in the runtime, since they refer to types
	defined in the library (list.list and std_util.univ).

util/mkinit.c:
	Make the addresses of these type_info structures available to the
	runtime.

runtime/mercury_init.h:
	Declare these type_info structures, for use in mkinit-generated
	*_init.c files.

runtime/mercury_wrapper.[ch]:
	Declare and define the variables that hold these addresses, for use
	in the new macros for constructing typed lists.

	Since term size profiling can refer to a memory cell by a pointer
	that is offset by one word, register the extra offsets with the Boehm
	collector if is being used.

	Document the incompatibility of MR_HIGHTAGS and the Boehm collector.

runtime/mercury_tags.h:
	Define new macros for constructing typed lists.

	Provide macros for preserving the old interface presented by this file
	to the extent possible. Uses of the old MR_list_cons macro will
	continue to work in grades without term size profiling. In term
	size profiling grades, their use will get a C compiler error.

	Fix a bug caused by a missing backslash.

runtime/mercury_heap.h:
	Change the basic macros for allocating new heap cells to take
	an optional offset argument. If this is nonzero, the macros
	increment the returned address by the given number of words.
	Term size profiling specifies offset=1, reserving the extra
	word at the start (which is ignored by all components of the
	system except term size profiling) for holding the size of the term.

	Provide macros for preserving the old interface presented by this file
	to the extent possible. Since the old MR_create[123] and MR_list_cons
	macros did not specify type information, they had to be changed
	to take additional arguments. This affects only hand-written C code.

	Call new diagnostic macros that can help debug heap allocations.

	Document why the macros in this files must expand to expressions
	instead of statements, evn though the latter would be preferable
	(e.g. by allowing them to declare and use local variables without
	depending on gcc extensions).

runtime/mercury_debug.[ch]:
	Add diagnostic macros to debug heap allocations, and the functions
	behind them if MR_DEBUG_HEAP_ALLOC is defined.

	Update the debugging routines for hand-allocated cells to print the
	values of the term size slot as well as the other slots in the relevant
	grades.

runtime/mercury_string.h:
	Provide some needed variants of the macro for copying strings.

runtime/mercury_deconstruct_macros.h:
runtime/mercury_type_info.c:
	Supply type information when constructing terms.

runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h:
	Preserve the term size slot when copying terms.

runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h:
runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
runtime/mercury_ml_expand_body.h:
	Use MR_offset_incr_hp instead of MR_incr_hp to ensure that all places
	that allocate cells also allocate space for the term size slot if
	necessary.

	Reduce code duplication by using a now standard macro for copying
	strings.

runtime/mercury_grade.h:
	Handle the two new grade components.

runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
	Document the C macros used to control the two new grade components,
	as well as MR_DEBUG_HEAP_ALLOC.

	Detect incompatibilities between high level code and profiling.

runtime/mercury_term_size.[ch]:
	A new module to house a function to find and return term sizes
	stored in heap cells.

runtime/mercury_proc_id.h:
runtime/mercury_univ.h:
	New header files. mercury_proc_id.h contains the (unchanged)
	definition of MR_Proc_Id, while mercury_univ.h contains the
	definitions of the macros for manipulating univs that used to be
	in mercury_type_info.h, updated to use the new macros for allocating
	memory.

	In the absence of these header files, the following circularity
	would ensue:

	mercury_deep_profiling.h includes mercury_stack_layout.h
		- needs definition of MR_Proc_Id
	mercury_stack_layout.h needs mercury_type_info.h
		- needs definition of MR_PseudoTypeInfo
	mercury_type_info.h needs mercury_heap.h
		- needs heap allocation macros for MR_new_univ_on_hp
	mercury_heap.h includes mercury_deep_profiling.h
		- needs MR_current_call_site_dynamic for recording allocations

	Breaking the circular dependency in two places, not just one, is to
	minimize similar problems in the future.

runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
	Delete the definition of MR_Proc_Id, which is now in mercury_proc_id.h.

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Delete the macros for manipulating univs, which are now in
	mercury_univ.h.

runtime/Mmakefile:
	Mention the new files.

runtime/mercury_imp.h:
runtime/mercury.h:
runtime/mercury_construct.c:
runtime/mercury_deep_profiling.h:
	Include the new files at appropriate points.

runtime/mercury.c:
	Change the names of the functions that create heap cells for
	hand-written code, since the interface to hand-written code has
	changed to include type information.

runtime/mercury_tabling.h:
	Delete some unused macros.

runtime/mercury_trace_base.c:
runtime/mercury_type_info.c:
	Use the new macros supplying type information when constructing lists.

scripts/canonical_grade_options.sh-subr:

	Handle the new grade components and the options controlling them.

trace/mercury_trace_internal.c:
	Implement the mdb command "term_size <varspec>", which is like
	"print <varspec>", but prints the size of a term instead of its value.
	In non-term-size-profiling grades, it prints an error message.

	Replace the "proc_body" command with optional arguments to the "print"
	and "browse" commands.

doc/user_guide.tex:
	Add documentation of the term_size mdb command. Since the command is
	for implementors only, and works only in grades that are not yet ready
	for public consumption, the documentation is commented out.

	Add documentation of the new arguments of the print and browse mdb
	commands. Since they are for implementors only, the documentation
	is commented out.

trace/mercury_trace_vars.[ch]:
	Add the functions needed to implement the term_size command, and
	factor out the code common to the "size" and "print"/"browse" commands.

	Decide whether to print the name of a variable before invoking the
	supplied print or browse predicate on it based on a flag design for
	this purpose, instead of overloading the meaning of the output FILE *
	variable. This arrangement is much clearer.

trace/mercury_trace_browse.c:
trace/mercury_trace_external.c:
trace/mercury_trace_help.c:
	Supply type information when constructing terms.

browser/program_representation.m:
	Since the new library module term_size_prof_builtin never generates
	any events, mark it as such, so that the declarative debugger doesn't
	expect it to generate any.

	Do the same for the deep profiling builtin module.

tests/debugger/term_size_words.{m,inp,exp}:
tests/debugger/term_size_cells.{m,inp,exp}:
	Two new test cases, each testing one of the new grades.

tests/debugger/Mmakefile:
	Enable the two new test cases in their grades.

	Disable the tests sensitive to stack frame sizes in term size profiling
	grades.

tests/debugger/completion.exp:
	Add the new "term_size" mdb command to the list of command completions,
	and delete "proc_body".

tests/debugger/declarative/dependency.{inp,exp}:
	Use "print proc_body" instead of "proc_body".

tests/hard_coded/nondet_c.m:
tests/hard_coded/pragma_inline.m:
	Use MR_offset_incr_hp instead of MR_incr_hp to ensure that all places
	that allocate cells also allocate space for the term size slot if
	necessary.

tests/valid/Mmakefile:
	Disable the IL tests in term size profiling grades, since the term size
	profiling primitives haven't been (and probably won't be) implemented
	for the MLDS backends, and handle_options causes a compiler abort
	for grades that combine term size profiling and any one of IL, Java
	and high level C.

2ad2f0a28e Allow types to be declared as "solver" types using the syntax
Estimated hours taken: 120
Branches: main

Allow types to be declared as "solver" types using the syntax
`:- solver type ...'.

For a non-solver type t (i.e. any type declared without using the
`solver' keyword), the inst `any' should be considered to be equivalent
to a bound inst i where i contains all the functors of the type t and
each argument has inst `any'.  For solver types, `any' retains its
previous meaning.

This is required to allow us to represent HAL's `old' inst using `any'.
In HAL, `old' is like `any' if the type is an instance of a particular
type class (`solver/1').  However, for types that are not instances of
`solver/1', `old' needs to be treated as though it is `bound'.

library/ops.m:
	Add `solver' as a unary prefix operator.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add a field to the type `type_defn' to record whether or not the
	type is a solver type.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add an equivalent field to the type `hlds_type_body'.

Estimated hours taken: 0.2

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Delete the const_addr cons_id and the code_addr_constant tag value,

	The code address representations in the MLDS, LLDS and bytecode
	backends are still needed in the implementation of closures.

compiler/bytecode.m:
	Delete the code_addr_const (the equivalent of the code_addr_constant

17f53149a4 Implement `:- pragma reserve_tag(<TypeName>/<Arity>).'.
Estimated hours taken: 6
Branches: main

Implement `:- pragma reserve_tag(<TypeName>/<Arity>).'.
This has the same effect as the `--reserve-tag' option,
except that it only applies to specified type, rather than
to all types.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Document the new feature.
	(However, the documentation is currently commented out.)

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add `reserve_tag(sym_name, arity)' to the `pragma_type' type.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add a new boolean field to the representation of discriminated union
	type bodies to record whether or not the type has a reserved tag.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Add code to parse the new pragma.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Add code to process the new pragma:
	- check all the appropriate semantic restrictions:
		- the pragma must have the same visibility as the type
		- the type must be defined
		- the type must be a discriminated union type
	- warn if there are multiple such pragmas for the same type
	- call make_tags.m to recompute the tags used for the constructor.
	- record the presence of the reserve_tag pragma in the HLDS type
	  definition body

compiler/make_tags.m:
compiler/type_util.m:
	Add an extra argument to assign_constructor_tags (in make_tags.m)
	and type_constructors_should_be_no_tag (in type_util.m)
	to specify whether or not there was a `reserve_tag' pragma.
	Reserve a tag if either this argument or the global `reserve_tag'
	option is set.

compiler/intermod.m:
	Output a `:- reserve_tag' pragma whenever outputting a type
	to which such a pragma applies.

compiler/ml_type_gen.m:
compiler/ml_unify_gen.m:
	Ignore the reserved_tag field.
	XXX This means that the `reserve_tag' pragma (or the compiler
	    option) won't have much effect if --high-level-data is set.

0387a6e9c2 Improvements for `:- pragma foreign_type'.
Estimated hours taken: 10
Branches: main

Improvements for `:- pragma foreign_type'.
- Allow default Mercury definitions. The Mercury definition must define
  a discriminated union type. The constructors of the Mercury type are
  only visible in predicates which have implementations for all the
  foreign languages the type has implementations for. In all other
  predicates the type is treated as an abstract type (the check for
  this isn't quite right).
- Allow polymorphic foreign types.
- Don't require the `:- pragma foreign_type' for exported foreign types
  to be in the interface. We now only require that all definitions
  have the same visibility.

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Allow polymorphic foreign types.

compiler/prog_io.m:
	Export code to parse the type name in a type definition for
	use by prog_io_pragma.m.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Handle Mercury definitions for foreign types.

	Separate out the code to add constructors and special predicates
	to the HLDS into a separate pass. For foreign types, we don't know
	what to add until all type definitions have been seen.

	Use the C definition for foreign types with `--target asm'.

compiler/modules.m:
	Distinguish properly between `exported' and `exported_to_submodules'.
	Previously, if a module had sub-modules, all declarations,
	including those in the interface, had import_status
	`exported_to_submodules'. Now, the declarations in the
	interface have status `exported' or `abstract_exported'.
	This is needed to check that the visibility of all the
	definitions of a type is the same.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add a predicate status_is_exported_to_non_submodules, which
	fails if an item is local to the module and its sub-modules.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
compiler/*.m:
	Record whether a du type has foreign definitions as well.

	Also record whether uses of the type or its constructors
	need to be qualified (this is needed now that adding
	the constructors to the HLDS is a separate pass).

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Check that a predicate or function has foreign clauses before
	allowing the use of a constructor of a type which also has
	foreign definitions.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Simplify the code to work out the goal_type for a predicate.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Don't abort on foreign types.

	Print the goal type for each predicate.

compiler/error_util.m:
	Handle the case where the message being written is a
	continuation of an existing message, so the first line
	should be indented.

compiler/module_qual.m:
	Remove unnecessary processing of foreign types.

doc/reference_manual.tex:
	Document the change.

	Update the documentation for mixing Mercury and foreign clauses.
	The Mercury clauses no longer need to be mode-specific.

	Mercury compiler.  These modules contain (as separate sub-modules)
	all the other modules in the Mercury compiler, except gcc.m and
	mlds_to_gcc.m.

Mmakefile:
compiler/Mmakefile:
	Handle the fact that the top-level module is now `top_level',
	not `mercury_compile' (since `mercury_compile' is a sub-module
	of `top_level').

compiler/Mmakefile:
	Update settings of *FLAGS-<modulename> to use the appropriate
	nested module names.

	`recompilation' module.

	Module-qualify the module names in `:- module', `:- import_module',
	and `:- use_module' declarations.

compiler/base_type_info.m:
compiler/base_type_layout.m:
	Deleted these unused empty modules.

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/globals.m:
	Move the `foreign_language' type from prog_data to globals.

compiler/mlds.m:
compiler/ml_util.m:
compiler/mlds_to_il.m:
	Import `globals', for `foreign_language'.

	to avoid conflicts with compiler/recompilation.check.c.

13f0e7610a A large step towards declarative debugging of goals that do I/O.
Estimated hours taken: 40
Branches: main

A large step towards declarative debugging of goals that do I/O. This step
does everything needed for that except modify the declarative debugger itself;
that is for Mark to do.

If you give the new option --trace-table-io-decl, the transformation performed
by the compiler on I/O primitives will preserve not just the output arguments
of the primitive, so that the primitive can be "reexecuted" without performing
any side-effects, but also the input arguments and the identity of the I/O
primitive itself. The I/O table therefore will contain a list of the I/O
primitives executed by the program after I/O tabling is started.

You can test this via the new debugger commands "print action <action-number>"
and "browse action <action-number>".

The new option is currently not documented, because the declarative debugger
does not yet use the information it provides. The new debugger commands are
not documented because they are meant only for implementors, at least for
now.

Since this change adds a field to proc_layout structures, any workspaces
compiled with debugging enabled will need to do a cvs update when this change
is installed.

compiler/options.m:
	Add the option --trace-table-io-decl. When set, this causes the
	compiler to transform I/O action primitives to allow declarative
	debugging of I/O actions.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Make --trace-table-io-decl imply --trace-table-io.

compiler/table_gen.m:
	Perform the transformation, which is similar to the existing
	--trace-table-io transformation, but preserves the identity of all
	non-io-state arguments (not just the outputs) and the identity
	of the I/O primitive itself.

	Provide better names for variables generated by tabling
	transformations.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add extra parameters to procedures whose job it is to create new
	goals to name the variables in those goals.

compiler/layout.m:
	Add a new layout structure to contain the information the runtime
	system needs to interpret the information saved by the new
	transformation.

compiler/layout_out.m:
	Output the new layout structure.

compiler/continuation_info.m:
	Add a field to proc_layouts to point to the declarative I/O tabling
	structure, and another to identify the proc_layout without using LLDS
	types.

compiler/code_gen.m:
	Provide the definition of this field when appropriate.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add a field to proc_infos to store the information from the tabling
	transformation until code generation.

compiler/stack_layout.m:
	Add a mechanism for transforming the high level description of I/O
	action tabling data in proc_infos to the low level description we need
	to generate C data structures.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add a new cons_id and a new cons_tag; they are used to refer to I/O
	tabling structures in code generated by the new transformation.

compiler/*.m:
	Handle the updates to global data types above.

library/table_builtin.m:
	Modernize some old code.

	Fix an old off-by-one error: make I/O tabling use the first slot
	in the I/O action table.

library/varset.m:
	Add a mechanism for creating a variable that is named iff the caller
	has a name for it.

runtime/mercury_layout_util.[ch]:
	Add a function for materializing type parameters from an answer block,
	not from registers or a closure.

runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
	Declare a C type for the data structure holding information about
	I/O primitives transformed by --trace-table-io-decl, and add a field
	to proc_layout structures to point to these new structures.

	Add a new evaluation method for --trace-table-io-decl.

runtime/mercury_tabling_macros.h:
	Add some conditionally-compiled debugging code to the primitive for
	saving answers.

trace/mercury_trace_vars.[ch]:
	Add functions for printing I/O action goals.

trace/mercury_trace_internal.c:
	Add code for recognizing and implementing commands to print I/O
	action goals.

trace/mercury_trace.c:
	Add code for handling the new eval method.

tests/debugger/tabled_read.{m,inp,exp*}:
	Add a polymorphic I/O action primitive, add calls to it, and test
	the printing of both monomorphic and polymorphic action goals.

tests/debugger/tabled_read_decl.{m,inp,exp*,data}:
	A new test case. It does the same things as the new version of
	tabled_read, but it is compiled with --trace-table-io-decl, not
	just --trace-table-io. It therefore can (and does) test the printing
	of tabled I/O actions.

tests/debugger/Mmakefile:
	Add the new test case.

b30433486a Avoid some unnecessary tag tests when using reserved address
Branches: main
Estimated hours taken: 4

Avoid some unnecessary tag tests when using reserved address
data representations.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add new cons_tag alternative `single_functor'.
	This is equivalent to `unshared_tag(0)' except that it
	also means that there are no other primary tag values used.

	Previously this wasn't needed, since any tag tests
	against `unshared_tag(0)' would be marked as `cannot_fail'
	by determinism analysis.  However, now that we have
	reserved addresses, that is not sufficient: a tag test against
	`shared_with_reserved_address(null_pointer, unshared_tag(0))'
	is semidet, because it needs to first check for null,
	but if there are no other functors then it should NOT
	bother to check that the tag is zero.  We need the
	`single_functor' alternative to optimize that case.

compiler/make_tags.m:
	Assign `single_functor' representations rather than
	`unshared_tag(0)' if there are no other functors remaining.

compiler/ml_unify_gen.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Optimize away the tag test for `single_functor' alternatives.

	Use `single_functor' rather than `unshared_tag(0)' for tuples.

Estimated hours taken: 18
Branches: main

Add compiler support for deciding when to use reserved addresses,
and for generating code appropriately when they are used.

compiler/options.m:
doc/user_guide.texi:
	Add new options `--num-reserved-addresses'
	and `--num-reserved-objects'.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add new type `reserved_address ---> null_pointer ; small_pointer(int) ;
	reserved_object(sym_name, arity)'.
	Add new cons_tag alternatives `reserved_address(reserved_address)'
	and `shared_with_reserved_address(list(reserved_address), cons_tag)'.
	Also add get_secondary_tag, for use by ml_type_gen.m.

compiler/ml_type_gen.m:
	Don't generate types for constructors represented using reserved
	addresses.  For constructors represented using reserved_object,
	generate the reserved object.
	Also, use get_secondary_tag, rather than just unifying with
	shared_remote/2, so that it works for
	shared_with_reserved_tag(_, shared_remote(_, _)).

compiler/make_tags.m:
	If --tags none and --num-reserved-addresses are both set,
	then assign null_pointer and small_pointer(int) representations
	to constants up to the value set in num-reserved-addresses.
	If --tags none and --high-level-code are both set,
	and more constants remain unassigned, then assign reserved_object
	representations for those constants, and generate static member
	variable declarations for the reserved_objects.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Pass down the type_id to assign_constructor_tags in make_tags.m,
	since it is needed for reserved_object representations.

compiler/ml_unify_gen.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Handle construction, deconstruction, and tag tests for
	types represented using reserved tags.
	(In unify_gen.m, only null_pointer and small_pointer(int)
	are supported; for reserved_object we call sorry/2).

compiler/ml_switch_gen.m:
compiler/switch_gen.m:
compiler/switch_util.m:
	Handle switches on types represented using reserved tags.
	XXX Currently we always use if-then-else chains for such
	    switches; this may not be efficient.

compiler/ml_code_util.m:
	Add ml_format_reserved_object_name.
	Also add accessibility parameter to ml_gen_static_const_defn,
	so that it can be used for generating the class member
	static constants used for reserved_objects.

compiler/ml_string_switch.m:

	Add suppory for controlling whether debugging output is buffered or
	not.

	Add support for watching the value at a given address.

runtime/Mmakefile:
	Mention all the added files.

scripts/mgnuc.in:
	Add an option for turning on deep profiling.

	Add options for controlling the details of deep profiling. These
	are not documented because they are intended only for benchmarking
	the deep profiler itself, for the paper; they are not for general use.

tools/bootcheck:
	Compile the deep_profiler directory as well as the other directories
	containing Mercury code.

	Turn off the creation of deep profiling data files during bootcheck,
	since all but one of these in each directory will be overwritten
	anyway.

	Add support for turning on --keep-objs by default in a workspace.

tools/speedtest:
	Preserve any deep profiling data files created by the tests.

trace/mercury_trace.c:
	Trap attempts to perform retries in deep profiling grades, since they
	would lead to core dumps otherwise.

util/Mmakefile:
	Avoid compile-time warnings when compiling getopt.

tests/*/Mmakefile:
tests/*/*/Mmakefile:
	In deep profiling grades, switch off the tests that test features
	that don't work with deep profiling, either by design or because
	the combination hasn't been implemented yet.

258107eeac Add an MLDS to MLDS transformation that converts MLDS switches
Estimated hours taken: 16

Add an MLDS to MLDS transformation that converts MLDS switches
into computed gotos or if-then-else chains.  (Eventually we
should make this code also handle binary searches.)

This transformation should allow tag switch optimization to work for
the IL back-end.  It also replaces ml_dense_switch.m and lets us
simplify ml_string_switch.m.

compiler/mlds.m:
	Add a new `switch_range' field to the `switch' stmt.

compiler/ml_simplify_switch.m:
	The new transformation.  This converts MLDS switches into
	computed gotos or if-then-else chains.
	It uses the new `switch_range' field to determine how big
	it would need to make the jump table to cover all cases.

compiler/ml_switch_gen.m:
compiler/ml_string_switch.m:
compiler/ml_tag_switch.m:
compiler/ml_dense_switch.m:
	Generate the new field.
	Change the places that generate switches so that after
	generating the switch they invoke the new transformation.
	Delete ml_dense_switch.m, since it is now redundant,
	and significantly simplify ml_string_switch.m.

compiler/ml_elim_nested.m:
compiler/ml_optimize.m:
compiler/ml_tailcall.m:
compiler/ml_util.m:
compiler/mlds_to_c.m:
compiler/mlds_to_il.m:
	Trivial changes to handle the new field.

compiler/switch_util.m:
compiler/dense_switch.m:
	Move most of the code from the `type_range' procedure from
	dense_switch.m to switch_util.m, so we can use it in
	ml_switch_gen.m for computing the switch range.

d9c0475e4a Reorganize the code for handling switches in the MLDS and
Estimated hours taken: 2

Reorganize the code for handling switches in the MLDS and
LLDS back-ends to reduce code duplication.

compiler/switch_util.m:
	New file.  Contains stuff for switches that is shared
	between the MLDS and LLDS back-ends.

compiler/ml_switch_gen.m:
compiler/ml_string_switch.m:
compiler/ml_tag_switch.m:
compiler/switch_gen.m:
compiler/string_switch.m:
compiler/tag_switch.m:
	Move code that was duplicated in the LLDS and MLDS back-ends
	into string_util.m.  Change some names and import_module
	declarations to match the new organization.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Document the new module switch_util.m.
	Also mention ml_tag_switch.m.
