6fffec1bc0 Requantify before recomputing instmap_deltas, not after.
Estimated hours taken: 0.25
Branches: main

compiler/inlining.m
	Requantify before recomputing instmap_deltas, not after.
	This shouldn't make any difference because the non-locals
	set for a goal can only shrink when quantification is rerun
	after inlining, and quantification.m will restrict the
	instmap_delta onto the reduced non-locals set.
	It may make a difference with alias tracking.
	Even if it doesn't, it's best to keep the order of
	these passes consistent throughout the compiler.

cdbbaa5ac2 Support multiple language foreign_procs in the one file.
Estimated hours taken: 16
Branches: main

Support multiple language foreign_procs in the one file.

If there is more then one applicable foreign_proc for a
given clause, select the most "preferred" programming
language to use as the implementation.

Currently only the IL backend has multiple languages
supported by the backend, and C# is preferred over MC++.

compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
	Rename backend_foreign_language as backend_foreign_languages,
	and use it to record the list of foreign languages the selected
	backend can handle.
	Remove --use-foreign-language as it doesn't do anything right now.

compiler/foreign.m:
	Update code to use the list of backend foreign languages.
	Add prefer_foreign_language function, to compute the preferred
	foreign language ordering for each backend.
	Move simple_foreign_language_string here from globals.m,
	and add foreign_language_file_extension and
	foreign_language_module_name functions.

	(much of the rest of the code in this module is intended to deal with
	the case where the backend *doesn't* handle the foreign
	language, but we don't have any working support for that at the
	moment).

compiler/globals.m:
	Add globals__io_get_backend_foreign_languages and
	globals__get_backend_foreign_languages.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Handle selection of foreign_proc code depending upon the preferred
	language.
	Rename a few *_foreign_code predicates as *_foreign_proc
	predicates.
	Handle the extra field in clause.

compiler/ml_code_gen.m:
compiler/mlds.m:
	Generate different mlds__foreign_code for each language (only
	one language is selected for each predicate, but there can be
	multiple languages in the onle module).
	and put them in a map which is indexed on foreign language.

compiler/modules.m:
	Generate appropriate dependencies for foreign language modules.
	We now record which languages a list of items uses (taking into
	account the preferred foreign language for foreign_proc).
	We also allow for the fact that some foreign_proc declarations
	won't generate any external modules.


compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add an extra field to clause which records which language this
	clause has been implemented in.

compiler/assertion.m:
compiler/clause_to_proc.m:
compiler/dead_proc_elim.m:
compiler/goal_util.m:

compiler/modes.m:
compiler/polymorphism.m:
compiler/purity.m:
compiler/typecheck.m:
compiler/unify_proc.m:

compiler/mlds_to_c.m:
compiler/mlds_to_csharp.m:
compiler/mlds_to_gcc.m:
compiler/mlds_to_mcpp.m:
	Select the appropriate mlds__foreign code from the map and
	generate code for it.

b994075a22 Add support for foreign_proc("il", ....)
Estimated hours taken: 50
Branches: main


Add support for foreign_proc("il", ....)

To use it, you need to give the options
	--use-foreign-language il
	--backend-foreign-language il

Begin documenting foreign_proc.


compiler/foreign.m:
compiler/globals.m:
	Handle the addition of il as a language option.

compiler/inlining.m:
	Mention that we don't allow il code to be inlined yet and give a
	pointer into ml_code_gen.m which has the reason along with the
	offending code.

compiler/il_peephole.m:
compiler/ilasm.m:
	Handle the addition of il_asm_code as inlineable code.

compiler/ilds.m:
	Add a handwritten scope to the different scope types.

compiler/ml_code_gen.m:
	Handle the generation of code for IL foreign language interfacing.
	Put the max_stack_size attribute into IL foreign language code.
	Document the problem with inlining.

compiler/ml_elim_nested.m:
	Handle the new field in blocks indicating whether the block contains
	handwritten code.

compiler/mlds.m:
	Add lang_il as a possible target language.
	Add attributes to target code (max_stack_size is the only one so far).

compiler/mlds_to_c.m:
compiler/mlds_to_csharp.m:
compiler/mlds_to_java.m:
compiler/mlds_to_mcpp.m:
	Handle the addition of il as a language option.

compiler/mlds_to_il.m:
compiler/mlds_to_ilasm.m:
	Generate inline code for foreign_proc using IL.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add il as a language option.

	Add extra attributes to the pragma_foreign_proc_attributes.
	Currently there is just one extra attribute, max_stack_size.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Parse max_stack_size as an attribute on foreign_proc.
	Improve error message output: previously we tried to parse the
	third term of a foreign_proc, and then tried to parse the second term
	(which we will accept for "c_code" but not foreign_proc).
	But we should give the error message as if the "c_code" handling is
	not present, as this will eventually go away.
	Check for foreign_language attributes such as max_stack_size.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Add a section for foreign_proc (and other multi-language foreign
	language interfacing pragmas).
	At the moment we have some reasonable documentation for "C" and
	"IL" foreign_proc, and some documentation on foreign_decl and
	foreign_code for C.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	The language and implementation specific documentation of
	the foreign language interface.

1c65d003f7 Add the shorthand_goal_expr wrapper type to ease hlds->hlds transformations.
Estimated hours taken: 4.5
Branches: main

Add the shorthand_goal_expr wrapper type to ease hlds->hlds transformations.

compiler/hlds_goal.m
        Create a new type, the `shorthand_goal_expr', for goals kinds that
        are implemented by a (ordinary_hlds + shorthand) -> (ordinary_hlds)
        transformation.  At present, bi_implication is the only kind of
        of goal that is implemented in this way.

        Moved bi_implication functor from the type goal_expr to the new
        shorthand_goal_expr type.

        Added the functor shorthand to the goal_expr type.

compiler/*.m
        Change switches on hlds_goal_expr that call error when they recognise
        `bi_implication' from calling error when they recognise
        `bi_implication' to calling error when they recognise `shorthand'.

        For all predicates K that
                a) switch on hlds_goal_expr and
                b) perform non-trivial processing when they recognise
                   `bi_implication'
        change K such that it now calls K_shorthand upon recognising the
        functor `shorthand'. Define K_shorthand to switch on
        shorthand_goal_expr, where the code for the `bi_implication' case
        formerly contained in K is now contained in K_shorthand.

711da78188 Rename foreign_code as foreign_proc where appropriate in the compiler.
Estimated hours taken: 4.0
Branches: main

Rename foreign_code as foreign_proc where appropriate in the compiler.
The rationale for this change is that it makes maintaining the code much
simpler because it is clear whether `foreign' refers to a slab of code
(foreign_code) or a procedure (foreign_proc).

:- type pragma_foreign_code_attributes
:- type pragma_foreign_proc_attributes

The functors for pragma_type
	foreign(Lang, BodyCode)
	foreign(Attributes, Name, PredOrFunc, Vars, Varset, Impl)
become
	foreign_code(Lang, BodyCode)
	foreign_proc(Attributes, Name, PredOrFunc, Vars, Varset, Impl)

And the HLDS goal `pragma_foreign_code' becomes `foreign_proc'.

compiler/*.m:
	Update the compiler to use the new names.

compiler/inlining.m:

compiler/deforest.m:
	Use the same method as inlining.m to work out whether

	will be propagated through the goal will stop deforestation
	working on the goal.

4be69fa961 Eliminated a lot of the dependencies on the the `code_model' type,
Estimated hours taken: 6

Eliminated a lot of the dependencies on the the `code_model' type,
and move that type from llds.m into a new module `code_model'.
The aim of this change is to improve the modularity of the compiler by
reducing the number of places in the compiler front-end that depend
on back-end concepts and the number of places in the MLDS back-end
which depend on the LLDS.

compiler/code_model.m:
	New module.  Contains the code_model type and associated
	procedures.

compiler/llds.m:
	Move the code_model type into code_model.m.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Move the goal_info_get_code_model procedure into code_model.m,
	to avoid having the HLDS modules import code_model.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Delete `hlds_out__write_code_model', since it wasn't being used.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Move the proc_info_interface_code_model procedure into code_model.m,
	to avoid having the HLDS modules import code_model.

compiler/goal_path.m:
	When computing the `maybe_cut' field for `some' goals,
	compute it by comparing the determinism rather than by
	comparing the goal_infos.

compiler/unique_modes.m:
	Use determinism and test for soln_count = at_most_many
	rather than using code_model and testing for model_non.

compiler/inlining.m:
	Test for determinism nondet/multi rather than testing
	for code_model model_non.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/det_report.m:
	Change valid_code_model_for_eval_method, which succeeded unless
	the eval_method was minimal_model and the code_model was model_det,
	to valid_determinism_for_eval_method, which succeeds unless the
	eval_method is minimal_model and the determinism cannot fail.
	As well as avoiding a dependency on code_model in the HLDS
	modules, this also fixes a bug where det_report could give
	misleading error messages, saying that `multi' was a valid
	determinism for `minimal_model' predicates, when in fact the
	compiler will always report a determinism error if you declare
	a `minimal_model' predicate with determinism `multi'.
	(Actually the code in which this bug occurs is in fact
	unreachable, but this is no doubt also a bug... I'll address
	that one in a separate change.)

compiler/lookup_switch.m:
	Simplify the code a bit by using globals__lookup_*_option
	rather than globals__get_option and then getopt__lookup_option.

compiler/*.m:
	Add `import_module' declarations for `code_model', and in some
	cases remove `import_module' declarations for `llds'.

477ecb18f6 Implement pragma foreign_code for Managed C++.
Estimated hours taken: 60

Implement pragma foreign_code for Managed C++.

Currently you can only write MC++ code if your backend is capable of
generating use MC++ as its "native" foreign language.  The IL backend is
the only backend that does this at the moment (the other backends have C
as their "native" foreign language).

Most of the machinery is in place to call from C to (normal) C++
but there is little work done on actually spitting out the C++ code into
a separate file.  The IL backend does this step already with managed C++.
The intention is to turn foreign_code for C++ into a pragma import
(which imports the C++ function from a separate file) and
foreign_code for C (which calls the imported function).  The C++ code
will be inserted into a separate file that is compiled using C linkage.

The important improvement this change gives is that you can write a
module with a C and a MC++ implementations side-by-side.  The target
backend will select the most appropriate foreign language to use.
You can override its choice using --use-foreign-language.  Later on
we will probably want more flexibility than just a single language
selection option).

This change also implements :- pragma foreign_decl, which allows header
file style declarations to be written in languages other than C.

compiler/code_gen.m:
	Reject code that is not C when generating LLDS.

compiler/export.m:
	Start renaming C as foreign.
	Reject code that is not C when generating exports.

compiler/foreign.m:
	A new module to handle foreign language interfacing.
	The bulk of the code for pragma import has been moved here from
	make_hlds.

compiler/globals.m:
	Convert foreign language names to foreign_language.
	This code has been moved closer to the similar conversion we do
	for target language names.
	Add globals__io_lookup_foreign_language_option to make it easier
	to deterministically lookup the options relating to foreign
	languages.


compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Move module_add_foreign_decl and module_add_foreign_body_code
	from make_hlds.m (where they were called module_add_c_header and
	module_add_c_code).

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Write the foreign language out in HLDS dumps.

compiler/llds.m:
	Change foreign_header_info to foreign_decl_info.
	Change definitions of foreign_decl_code and foreign_body_code to
	include the language.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Reject code that is not C when writing out LLDS.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Add foreign language information to the bodys and decls when
	creating them.
	Update error messages to refer to foreign code instead of C
	code.
	Use foreign.m to generate interfaces from the backend language
	to the foreign language.
	Hardcode C as the language for fact tables.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Collect the appropriate foreign language code together for
	output to the backend.

compiler/intermod.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Output the foreign language string.
	Change a few names to foreign_code instead of c_code.

compiler/ml_code_gen.m:
	Filter the foreign language bodys and decls so that we only get
	the ones we are in (given by the use-foreign-language option).

compiler/mlds_to_c.m:
	Abort if we are given non C foreign language code to output
	(we might handle it here in future, or we might handle it
	elsewhere).

compiler/mlds_to_ilasm.m:
	Abort if we are given non MC++ foreign language code to output
	(we might handle it here in future, or we might handle it
	elsewhere).

compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
	Add --use-foreign-language as a user option to control the
	preferred foreign language to use as the implementation of this
	module.
	Add backend_foreign_language as an internal option which stores
	the foreign language that the compiler will use as a default
	(e.g. the natural foreign language for the backend to use).
	Set the preferred backend foreign language depending on the
	target.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add managedcplusplus as a new alternative for the
	foreign_language type.
	Make c_header_code into foreign_decl.
	Give the foreign language for foreign_code as an attribute of
	the code.
	Write code to turn attributes into a list of strings (suitable
	for writing out by mercury_to_mercury).  This fixes what appears
	to be a bug in tabled_for_io -- the tabled_for_io attribute was not
	being written out.  Structure the code so this bug is
	difficult to repeat in future.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Parse foreign_decl.
	Turn c_header_code into a special case of foreign_decl.

compiler/*.m:
	Remove the language field from pragma_foreign_code, it is now an
	attribute of the code.
	Various type and variable renamings.

82378c381b Allow polymorphic ground insts. This change assumes that all inst
Estimated hours taken: 80

Allow polymorphic ground insts.  This change assumes that all inst
parameters in the mode declaration for a predicate or function are
constrained to be ground-shared.  This is a temporary measure until we
work out a nice syntax to allow the programmer to tell the compiler that
certain inst parameters may be treated as ground insts.  Since we don't
currently support unconstrained inst parameters anyway, this shouldn't
cause a problem.

	TODO:
		- Add syntax, something like `:- mode p(in(I)) <= ground(I).',
		  to specify that an inst parameter represents a ground inst.
		- Allow abstract ground insts that are treated in a similar
		  way to what we've done here with ground inst parameters.
		- Make mode checking more efficient (i.e. rewrite the mode
		  system).

compiler/inst.m:
	Add a new alternative for ground insts:
		`constrained_inst_var(inst_var)'.
	Define the type `inst_var_sub'.

compiler/inst_match.m:
	Change inst_matches_initial so that it:
		- handles constrained_inst_vars correctly;
		- returns the inst_var substitutions necessary for the call;
		- handles inst_matches_initial(ground(...), bound(...), ...)
		  properly (this requires knowing the type of the variable).

	  The last change has also been made for inst_matches_final
	  and inst_matches_binding.  However, the check is disabled for
	  now because, without alias tracking, the mode checker
	  becomes too conservative.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:

	now in the det_info.
	Use record syntax for these data structures and their access predicates
	to make future changes easier.

	nondeterministically returns the cons_ids and argument types for a
	given type.
	Add a new predicate type_util__get_consid_non_existential_arg_types

10a433374b Restore the clipping of instmap deltas to the nonlocals set, undoing most of
Estimated hours taken: 16

Restore the clipping of instmap deltas to the nonlocals set, undoing most of
a recent change of mine. (The general cleanup parts of that change, e.g.
added field names, stay.) The reason is that the previous diff changed the
clipping algorithm only where the instmap deltas were being originally
computed, whereas for completeness you also need to do this in places where
they are recomputed after optimizations such as deforestation, and doing so
would have required changes in several more parts of the compiler, which
would have been tedious to maintain.

Instead, I now use a different technique to solve the original problem.
This technique is to change liveness.m so that it considers the first
occurrence of any type(class)info variable to be a value giving occurrence
even if the variable is not referred to by the instmap delta of the goal.
This assumption is true in the current polymorphism design and in any
extension of it that I can foresee. Type(class)info variables will therefore
be born in the first goal that refers to them, even if they are not in the
nonlocal set of that goal. If there are any later references to variables
whose type is described in whole or in part by that typeinfo, the typeinfo
will die at the last such reference, otherwise it will die in the goal
in which it is born.

From now on, the only module of the compile which needs to worry about the
extension of the life of type(class)info variables beyond the goals referring
to them is liveness.m.

compiler/quantification.m:
compiler/mode_info.m:
compiler/mode_util.m:
	Reset the interfaces of quantification and mode checking to the old
	ones, which do not require knowing typeinfo_liveness and typeinfo
	varmaps.

compiler/modes.m:

	Clip instmap deltas to the nonlocals, not the completed nonlocals.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add a utility pred which gets the nonlocals from a goal, not a
	goal_info.

	Add special handling for type(class)info vars as described above.

c192d50143 Add preliminary support for a new pragma:
Estimated hours taken: 15

Add preliminary support for a new pragma:

:- pragma foreign_code(LanguageString, .... <same args as c_code>).

This is intended to be the eventual replacement of pragma c_code.
Presently the only valid language is "C".
The existing pragma c_code is simply turned into pragma foreign_code.

pragma foreign_code is not a supported pragma at the moment.  There are
several other changes that are intended (for example, foreign_code will
be impure by default).

This change also changes the HLDS goal pragma_c_code/7 to
pragma_foreign_code/8 where the extra argument is the foreign language.

Any code currently generating output for pragma C code simply checks
that the foreign language is set to "c".  Since this is the only
alternative of the type foreign_language, it will always succeed.
However when new alternatives are added it should be fairly easy to find
where the changes need to be made.

Some type names and predicate names have also been updated, however
there are many more that haven't yet been touched.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Accept the new syntax.	Turn the old syntax into the new item.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Change pragma_c_code/7 to pragma_foreign_code/8.
	Define the foreign_language type.

compiler/llds.m:
	Change user_c_code/2 to user_foreign_code/3.

compiler/*.m:
	Update the rest of the compiler to handle these types.
	Make a few small changes to update variable names, predicate
	names and type names.

cf88ecb937 Fix a bug in the LLDS back-end where it would inline nondet `pragma c_code'
Estimated hours taken: 2

Fix a bug in the LLDS back-end where it would inline nondet `pragma c_code'
procedures if the user used a `pragma inline' declaration, and
then subsequently get a software error during code generation.

For the MLDS back-end, don't inline `pragma c_code' goals,
since that causes problems with the current implementation
of `pragma c_code'.

compiler/inlining.m:
	Move the code to test for nondet `pragma c_code' from
	inlining__mark_predproc to inlining__should_inline_proc,
	since testing for it in the former doesn't guarantee
	that it won't be inlined.  Likewise for `aditi_memo'.

	For the MLDS back-end, don't inline any `pragma c_code'
	goals.  This required adding a new bool to the
	`inline_params' and `inlining_info' structs, to hold
	the value of the --high-level-code variable.

	Change the `inline_params' structure to use field names.

	Delete an earlier work-around for the MLDS inlining problem,
	since with the better work-around mentioned above,
	is no longer needed.

d551dd1dc9 Handle quantification analysis of bi-implication (`<=>') goals correctly.
Estimated hours taken: 10

Handle quantification analysis of bi-implication (`<=>') goals correctly.
Previously we used to expand bi-implications before doing quantification
analysis, which stuffed up the results of quantification analysis for
those goals.  We need to do quantification analysis first, and only
then can we expand bi-implications.  In addition, elimination of double
negation needs to come after expansion of bi-implication, so I moved
that from make_hlds.m to purity.m.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add a new alternative to the HLDS goal type for bi-implications.
        Also add a new predicate negate_goal, for use by purity.m.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Don't expand bi-implication here, instead just use the new
	bi_implication/2 HLDS goal type.
	Don't eliminated double negation here.

compiler/quantification.m:
	Handle quantification for bi-implications.
	Expand bi-implications.

compiler/purity.m:
	Eliminate double negation.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Add code to print out bi-implication goals.

Fix problems with the inter-module inlining heuristics.
The changes to run polymorphism.m before mode analysis caused
all exported predicates to be placed in the `.opt' files, regardless
of their size. This resulted in compilation of compiler/mercury_compile.m
with --intermodule-optimization to run out of memory.

compiler/intermod.m:
	Don't assume that the clauses have been copied to the procedures
	when computing goal sizes.

	Use --higher-order-size-limit rather than placing all predicates

2725b1a331 Aditi update syntax, type and mode checking.
Estimated hours taken: 220

Aditi update syntax, type and mode checking.

Change the hlds_goal for constructions in preparation for
structure reuse to avoid making multiple conflicting changes.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Merge `higher_order_call' and `class_method_call' into a single
	`generic_call' goal type. This also has alternatives for the
	various Aditi builtins for which type declarations can't
	be written.

	Remove the argument types field from higher-order/class method calls.
	It wasn't used often, and wasn't updated by optimizations
	such as inlining. The types can be obtained from the vartypes
	field of the proc_info.

	Add a `lambda_eval_method' field to lambda_goals.

	Add a field to constructions to identify which RL code fragment should
	be used for an top-down Aditi closure.

	Add fields to constructions to hold structure reuse information.
	This is currently ignored -- the changes to implement structure
	reuse will be committed to the alias branch.
	This is included here to avoid lots of CVS conflicts caused by
	changing the definition of `hlds_goal' twice.

	Add a field to `some' goals to specify whether the quantification
	can be removed. This is used to make it easier to ensure that
	indexes are used for updates.

	Add a field to lambda_goals to describe whether the modes were
	guessed by the compiler and may need fixing up after typechecking
	works out the argument types.

	Add predicate `hlds_goal__generic_call_id' to work out a call_id
	for a generic call for use in error messages.

compiler/purity.m:
compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	Fill in the modes of Aditi builtin calls and closure constructions.
	This needs to know which are the `aditi__state' arguments, so
	it must be done after typechecking.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Added `:- type sym_name_and_arity ---> sym_name/arity'.

	Add a type `lambda_eval_method', which describes how a closure
	is to be executed. The alternatives are normal Mercury execution,
	bottom-up execution by Aditi and top-down execution by Aditi.

compiler/prog_out.m:
	Add predicate `prog_out__write_sym_name_and_arity', which
	replaces duplicated inline code in a few places.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add a `lambda_eval_method' field to `pred_const' cons_ids and
	`pred_closure_tag' cons_tags.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Remove type `pred_call_id', replace it with type `simple_call_id',
	which combines a `pred_or_func' and a `sym_name_and_arity'.

	Add a type `call_id' which describes all the different types of call,
	including normal calls, higher-order and class-method calls
	and Aditi builtins.

	Add `aditi_top_down' to the type `marker'.

	Remove `aditi_interface' from type `marker'. Interfacing to
	Aditi predicates is now handled by `generic_call' hlds_goals.

	Add a type `rl_exprn_id' which identifies a predicate to
	be executed top-down by Aditi.
	Add a `maybe(rl_exprn_id)'  field to type `proc_info'.

	Add predicate `adjust_func_arity' to convert between the arity
	of a function to its arity as a predicate.

	Add predicates `get_state_args' and `get_state_args_det' to
	extract the DCG state arguments from an argument list.

	Add predicate `pred_info_get_call_id' to get a `simple_call_id'
	for a predicate for use in error messages.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Write the new representation for call_ids.

	Add a predicate `hlds_out__write_call_arg_id' which
	replaces similar code in mode_errors.m and typecheck.m.

compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
	Add support for `aditi_bottom_up' and `aditi_top_down' annotations
	on pred expressions.

compiler/prog_io_util.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Add predicates
	- `prog_io_util:parse_name_and_arity' to parse `SymName/Arity'
		(moved from prog_io_pragma.m).
	- `prog_io_util:parse_pred_or_func_name_and_arity to parse
		`pred SymName/Arity' or `func SymName/Arity'.
	- `prog_io_util:parse_pred_or_func_and_args' to parse terms resembling
		a clause head (moved from prog_io_pragma.m).

compiler/type_util.m:
	Add support for `aditi_bottom_up' and `aditi_top_down' annotations
	on higher-order types.

	Add predicates `construct_higher_order_type',
	`construct_higher_order_pred_type' and
	`construct_higher_order_func_type' to avoid some code duplication.

compiler/mode_util.m:
	Add predicate `unused_mode/1', which returns `builtin:unused'.
	Add functions `aditi_di_mode/0', `aditi_ui_mode/0' and
	`aditi_uo_mode/0' which return `in', `in', and `out', but will
	be changed to return `di', `ui' and `uo' when alias tracking
	is implemented.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Add predicate `goal_util__generic_call_vars' which returns
	any arguments to a generic_call which are not in the argument list,
	for example the closure passed to a higher-order call or
	the typeclass_info for a class method call.

compiler/llds.m:
compiler/exprn_aux.m:
compiler/dupelim.m:
compiler/llds_out.m:
compiler/opt_debug.m:
	Add builtin labels for the Aditi update operations.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Add predicate predicate_table_search_pf_sym, used for finding
	possible matches for a call with the wrong number of arguments.

compiler/intermod.m:
	Don't write predicates which build `aditi_top_down' goals,
	because there is currently no way to tell importing modules
	which RL code fragment to use.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Obey the `cannot_remove' field of explicit quantification goals.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Parse Aditi updates.

	Don't typecheck clauses for which syntax errors in Aditi updates
	are found - this avoids spurious "undefined predicate `aditi_insert/3'"
	errors.

	Factor out some common code to handle terms of the form `Head :- Body'.
	Factor out common code in the handling of pred and func expressions.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Typecheck Aditi builtins.

	Allow the argument types of matching predicates to be adjusted
	when typechecking the higher-order arguments of Aditi builtins.

	Change `typecheck__resolve_pred_overloading' to take a list of
	argument types rather than a `map(var, type)' and a list of
	arguments to allow a transformation to be performed on the
	argument types before passing them.

compiler/error_util.m:
	Move the part of `report_error_num_args' which writes
	"wrong number of arguments (<x>; expected <y>)" from
	typecheck.m for use by make_hlds.m when reporting errors
	for Aditi builtins.

compiler/follow_vars.m:

Estimated hours taken: 1200

Aditi compilation.

compiler/options.m:
	The documentation for these is commented out because the Aditi
	system is not currently useful to the general public.
	--aditi: enable Aditi compilation.
	--dump-rl: write the intermediate RL to `<module>.rl_dump'.
	--dump-rl-bytecode: write a text version of the bytecodes
		to `<module>.rla'
	--aditi-only: don't produce a `.c' file.
	--filenames-from-stdin: accept a list of filenames to compile
		from stdin. This is used by the query shell.
	--optimize-rl, --optimize-rl-cse, --optimize-rl-invariants,
	--optimize-rl-index, --detect-rl-streams:
		Options to control RL optimization passes.
	--aditi-user:
		Default owner of any Aditi procedures,
		defaults to $USER or "guest".
	--generate-schemas:
		write schemas for base relations to `<module>'.base_schema
		and schemas for derived relations to `<module>'.derived_schema.
		This is used by the query shell.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Handle the default for --aditi-user.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Add some Aditi pragma declarations - `aditi', `supp_magic', `context',
	`naive', `psn' (predicate semi-naive), `aditi_memo', `aditi_no_memo',
	`base_relation', `owner' and `index'.
	Separate out code to parse a predicate name and arity.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add predicates to identify Aditi procedures.
	Added markers `generate_inline' and `aditi_interface', which
	are used internally for Aditi code generation.
	Add an `owner' field to pred_infos, which is used for database
	security checks.
	Add a field to pred_infos to hold the list of indexes for a base
	relation.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Some pragmas must be exported if the corresponding predicates
	are exported, check this.
	Make sure stratification of Aditi procedures is checked.
	Predicates with a mode declaration but no type declaration
	are no longer assumed to be local.
	Set the `do_aditi_compilation' field of the module_info if there
	are any local Aditi procedures or base relations.
	Check that `--aditi' is set if Aditi compilation is required.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	Check that every Aditi predicate has an `aditi__state' argument,
	which is used to ensure sequencing of updates and that Aditi
	procedures are only called within transactions.

compiler/dnf.m:
	Changed the definition of disjunctive normal form slightly
	so that a call followed by some atomic goals not including
	any database calls is considered atomic. magic.m can handle
	this kind of goal, and it results in more efficient RL code.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
compiler/dependency_graph.m:
	Added dependency_graph__get_scc_entry_points which finds
	the procedures in an SCC which could be called from outside.
	Added a new field to the dependency_info, the
	aditi_dependency_ordering. This contains all Aditi SCCs of
	the original program, with multiple SCCs merged where
	possible to improve the effectiveness of differential evaluation
	and the low level RL optimizations.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Add a field to record whether there are any local Aditi procedures
	in the current module.
	Added versions of module_info_pred_proc_info and
	module_info_set_pred_proc_info which take a pred_proc_id,
	not a separate pred_id and proc_id.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
compiler/lambda.m:
	Make sure that predicates created for closures in Aditi procedures
	have the correct markers.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Added goal_util__switch_to_disjunction,
	goal_util__case_to_disjunct (factored out from simplify.m)
	and goal_util__if_then_else_to_disjunction. These are
	require because supplementary magic sets can't handle
	if-then-elses or switches.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Added type_is_aditi_state/1.

compiler/mode_util.m:
	Added partition_args/5 which partitions a list of arguments
	into inputs and others.

compiler/inlining.m:
	Don't inline memoed procedures.
	Don't inline Aditi procedures into non-Aditi procedures.

compiler/intermod.m:
	Handle Aditi markers.
	Clean up handling of markers which should not appear in `.opt' files.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Export a slightly different interface for use by magic.m.
	Remove explicit quantifications where possible.
	Merge multiple nested quantifications.
	Don't report infinite recursion warnings for Aditi procedures.

compiler/code_gen.m:
compiler/arg_info.m:
	Don't process Aditi procedures.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:

compiler/passes_aux.m:
	Add predicates to process only non-Aditi procedures.

compiler/llds.m:
compiler/llds_out.m:
	Added new `code_addr' enum members, do_{det,semidet,nondet}_aditi_call,
	which are defined in extras/aditi/aditi.m.

compiler/call_gen.m:
	Handle generation of do_*_aditi_call.

5c955626f2 These changes make var' and term' polymorphic.
Estimated hours taken: 20

These changes make `var' and `term' polymorphic. This allows us to make
variables and terms representing types of a different type to those
representing program terms and those representing insts.

These changes do not *fix* any existing problems (for instance
there was a messy conflation of program variables and inst variables,
and where necessary I've just called varset__init(InstVarSet) with
an XXX comment).

NEWS:
	Mention the changes to the standard library.

library/term.m:
	Make term, var and var_supply polymorphic.
	Add new predicates:
		term__generic_term/1
		term__coerce/2
		term__coerce_var/2
		term__coerce_var_supply/2

library/varset.m:
	Make varset polymorphic.
	Add the new predicate:
		varset__coerce/2

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Introduce type equivalences for the different kinds of
	vars, terms, and varsets that we use (tvar and tvarset
	were already there but have been changed to use the
	polymorphic var and term).

	Also change the various kinds of items to use the appropriate
	kinds of var/varset.

compiler/*.m:
	Thousands of boring changes to make the compiler type correct
	with the different types for type, program and inst vars and
	varsets.

3e244090d7 Rework the handling of types in higher_order.m.
Estimated hours taken: 50

Rework the handling of types in higher_order.m.
- Fix bugs in higher_order.m that stopped it working with --typeinfo-liveness.
- Perform type and typeclass specialisation.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Previously the type of typeclass_infos variables did not contain
	any information about the constraint about which the variable contains
	information. Now the type of a typeclass_info is
	`private_builtin:typeclass_info(
		private_builtin:constraint([ClassName, ConstrainedTypes]))'.
	This allows predicates such as type_list_subsumes to check that
	the class constraints match.
	Note that `private_builtin:constraint' has no declaration, so
	a lookup in the type definition map will fail. That's OK, because
	type_to_type_id will fail on it, so it will be treated as a type
	variable by any code which doesn't manipulate types directly.
	Added polymorphism__typeclass_info_class_constraint to get the
	class_constraint from a typeclass_info's type. This isn't used yet.

	Also, fix a bug in extract_type_info: an entry in the typeinfo_var_map
	was being overwritten using an entry from a dummy typevarset. Actually
	the optimization to overwrite the location of the type_info after
	extracting it from a typeclass_info was wrong because the type_info
	won't be in that location in other branches.

compiler/higher_order.m:
	Rework the handling of type substitutions. Now the types of the
	called procedure are `inlined' into the calling procedure, rather
	than building up the types of the specialised version using the
	higher-order arguments. The advantage of this is that the code is
	a bit simpler and handles extra type_infos properly. The disadvantage
	is that the argument types for specialised versions may be more
	specific than they need to be, so in some cases more specialised
	versions will be created than before.
	Also, don't actually rebuild the higher-order terms in the specialised
	versions - just pass the terms through in case they are needed.
	Handle the extra typeinfos required for --typeinfo-liveness.
	Specialize calls to unify/2, index/2 and compare/3.
	Specialize class_method_calls.
	Specialize calls to the predicates in private_builtin.m which
	manipulate typeclass_infos.

compiler/type_util.m:
	type_to_type_id now fails on the dummy `constraint' type.
	Remove typeinfos for non-variable types from the typeinfo_varmap
	after inlining and higher-order specialisation.

compiler/inlining.m:
	Factor out some common code to handle type substitutions
	for use by higher_order.m.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Return the list of extra type_info variables added to the
	argument list.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Take a set of non-locals as an argument to
	goal_util__extra_nonlocal_typeinfos rather than extracting
	them from a goal.

compiler/special_pred.m:
	Handle unmangled unify/compare/index in special_pred_get_type.

compiler/base_type_layout.m:
	Don't generate references to the typeinfo for
	`private_builtin:constraint' - it doesn't exist.

compiler/unused_args.m:
	Don't barf on specialised unification predicate names.

compiler/options.m:
	Added options:
	`--type-specialization' (default off).
	`--higher-order-size-limit' - restrict the size of specialized
		versions produced by higher_order.m.
	`--disable-opt-for-trace' (default on) - where possible don't
		change the options to make the trace match the source code.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Don't disable higher_order.m when --typeinfo-liveness is set.
	Handle `--disable-opt-for-trace'.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
compiler/*.m:
	Add the instance number to `base_typeclass_info_const' cons_ids,
	so that higher_order.m can easily index into the list of instances
	for a class to find the methods.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Use the correct varset when printing out the constraint proofs.
	Write the typeclass_info_varmap for each procedure.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Print type variables with variable numbers.

library/private_builtin.m:
	Add the argument to the typeclass_info type to hold the representation
	of the constraint.

runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
	Semidet and nondet class_method_calls where
	(0 < num_arg_typeclass_infos < 4) were aborting at runtime
	because arguments were being placed starting at r1 rather
	than at r(1 + num_arg_typeclass_infos).

doc/user_guide.texi
	Document the new options.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Update the role of higher_order.m.

tests/hard_coded/typeclasses/extra_typeinfo.m:
	Test case for the mercury_ho_call.c bug and the polymorphism.m
	extract_typeinfo bug and for updating the typeclass_info_varmap
	for specialised versions.

6455e041cb Merge in the changes from the existential types branch,
Estimated hours taken: 6
	(plus another 80 or so already recorded for
	my commits on the existential_types branch)

Merge in the changes from the existential types branch,
and make some modifications to address dgj's code review comments.

These changes add support for existentially quantified type variables
and type class constraints on functions and predicates.
(Existential data types, however, are not supported -- see below.)

Existentially quantified type variables are introduced with
an explicit `some [T]', e.g. `:- some [T] pred foo(T)'.
Existentially quantified type class constraints are introduced
with `&' instead of `<=', e.g. `:- some [T] (pred foo(T) & ord(T))'.

There's still several limitations:

0.  XXX It's not yet documented in the language reference manual.

1.  XXX It doesn't do any mode checking or mode reordering.
    If you write code that uses existentially typed procedures in the
    wrong order, then you'll get an internal error in polymorphism.m
    or in the code generator.  (Cases where a type_info has no
    producer at all are caught by the check for unbound type
    variables in post_typecheck.m.)

    To support this, we need to change things so that polymorphism.m
    gets invoked before mode checking.

2.  Using `in' modes on arguments of existential type won't work.
    If you try, you will get a compile error.

    It would be nice to extend things to allow this kind of
    "implied mode" for type_infos, where an existential type
    becomes a universal type if some value of that type is
    input.  Supporting this would require first fixing
    limitation 1 (described above) and then

3.  There's no support for `pragma c_code' for procedures
    with existential type class constraints.
    (In fact, there's not really any support for `pragma c_code'
    for procedures with universal type class constraints either --
    the C code has no way of getting access to the type class info.)

4.  XXX Taking the address of something which is existentially typed
    should be illegal, but we don't check this.

In addition, these changes in this batch make a start towards allowing
existentially typed data types.  The compiler now accepts existential
quantifiers and type class constraints on type definitions, and type
checks them accordingly (assuming all functor occurrences are
deconstructors, not constructors -- see limitation 2 above).  But
there's no special handling for them in polymorphism.m, so if you try
to use them, it will abort with an internal error.

The changes also includes fixes for a couple of bugs in typechecking
and polymorphism that I discovered while making the above changes,
and an improvement to the error reporting from typecheck.m in one case.
Those changes are listed separately below.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add a new type `class_constraints', which holds two different
	lists of constraints, namely the existentially quantified constraints
	and the universally quantified ones.
	Add a new field to the parse tree representation of pred and
	func declarations to hold a list of the existentially quantified
	type variables, and change the `list(class_constraint)' into
	`class_constraints' so that we can store existential constraints too.
	Add new fields to the `constructor' data type (formerly just a pair)
	to hold the existentially quantified type variables and
	type class constraints.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add several new fields to the pred_info:
	  - a list of the existentially quantified type variables;
	  - a list of the "HeadTypeParams": type variables which
	    cannot be bound by this predicate (i.e. those whose type_infos
	    come from this pred's caller or are returned from
	    other preds called by this one);
	  - and a list of unsatisfied type class constraints.
	Add a predicate pred_info_get_univ_quant_tvars to compute the
	universally quantified type variables.
	Change the pred constraints field from `list(class_constraint)'
	to `class_constraints' so that it can hold existential constraints too.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add new fields to hlds_cons_defn to hold the existentially
	quantified type variables and type class constraints.

compiler/*.m:
	Minor changes to reflect the above-mentioned data structure
	changes in prog_data.m, hlds_pred.m, and hlds_data.m.

compiler/prog_io.m:
	Add code to parse the new constructs.

	Also rewrite the code for parsing purity specifiers,
	type quantifiers and type class constraints, using basically
	the method suggested by Peter Schachte: treat these as
	"declaration attributes", and have parse_decl strip off
	all the declaration attributes into a seperate list and
	then pass that list to process_decl, which for each different
	kind of declaration processes the attributes which are
	appropriate for that declaration and then calls check_no_attributes
	to ensure that there were no inappropriate attributes.

	The purpose of this rewrite was to allow it to handle the new
	constructs properly, and to avoid unnecessary code duplication.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Add code to pretty-print the new constructs.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Copy the new fields in the parse tree into the
	corresponding new fields in the pred_info.
	Add code to check for various misuses of quantifiers.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Print out the new fields in the pred_info (except the
	unsatisfied type class constraints -- if these are non-empty,
	post_typecheck.m will print them out in the error message).
	When printing out types, pass the AppendVarNums parameter down,
	so that HLDS dumps will distinguish between different type
	variables that have the same name.
	Delete hlds_out__write_constructor, since it was doing exactly
	the same thing as mercury__output_ctor.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Lots of changes to handle existential types and existential
	type class constraints.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	When checking for unbound type variables,
	use the value of HeadTypeParams from the pred_info.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Delete `type_and_constraint_list_matches_exactly', since it was not
	used.  Add various `apply_variable_renaming_to_*' predicates for
	renaming constraints.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Lots of changes to handle existential types and existential
	type class constraints.
	Also some changes to make the code more maintainable:

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Put curly braces around the definitions of 'some'/2 and '&'/2 functors
	in `:- type' definitions, to avoid them being misinterpreted as
	existential type constraints.

compiler/goal_util.m:
compiler/polymorphism.m:
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/lambda.m:
	Include type_infos for existentially quantified type variables
	and type_class_infos for existential constraints
	in the set of extra variables computed by
	goal_util__extra_type_info_vars.

compiler/inlining.m:
	Change inlining__do_goal to handle inlining of calls to
	existentially typed predicates -- for them, instead of not
	binding any type variables at all in the caller, it allows the
	call to bind any type variables in the caller except for those
	that are universally quantified.

compiler/inlining.m:
compiler/deforest.m:
	Call pred_info_get_univ_quant_tvars and pass the
	result to inlining__do_inline_goal.

tests/hard_coded/typeclasses/Mmakefile:
tests/hard_coded/typeclasses/existential_type_classes.{m,exp}:
	Test cases for the use of existential types and
	existential type class constraints.

----------

Improve an error message.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Improve error reporting by checking type class constraints for
	satisfiability as we go and thus reporting unsatisfiable constraints
	as soon as possible, rather than only at the end of the clause.
	Previously we already did that for the case of ground constraints,
	but they are not the only unsatsfiable constraints: constraints
	on head type params (type variables which cannot be bound) are
	also unsatisfiable if they can't be eliminated straight away
	by context reduction.

tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
tests/invalid/typeclass_test_7.{m,err_exp}:
	Regression test for the above change.

----------

Avoid problems where type inference was reporting some
spurious errors for predicates using type classes,
because the check for unsatisfied type class constraints
was being done before the final pass of type inference
had finished.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add new field to the pred_info containing the unproven
	type class constraints.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	When inferring type class constraints, make sure that before
	we save the results back in the pred_info, we restrict the
	constraints to the head type variables.  Constraints
	on other type variables should be treated as
	unsatisfied constraints.

	Don't check for unsatisfied type class constraints at the
	end of each pass; instead, just save the unproven type class
	constraints in the pred_info.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	Check for unsatisfied type class constraints, using
	the new field in the pred_info.

tests/hard_coded/typeclasses/Mmakefile:
tests/hard_coded/typeclasses/inference_test_2.{m,exp}:
tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
tests/invalid/typeclass_test_8.{m,err_exp}:
	Add regression tests for this change.

----------

Fix a bug with the computation of the non-locals for
predicates with more than one constraint on the same type variable --
it was only including one of the type-class-infos, rather than all of them.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Change `goal_util__extra_nonlocal_typeinfos' so that it gets
	passed the TypeClassInfoVarMap and uses this to include all
	the appropriate typeclass infos in the extra nonlocals.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/lambda.m:
compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Pass the TypeClassInfoVarMap to `goal_util__extra_nonlocal_typeinfos'.

compiler/base_type_layout.m:
	Update comments to reflect new runtime naming standard.

	and code to support them.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Don't report infinite recursion warning if a procedure has
	minimal model evaluation.

Deforestation.

This increases the code size of the compiler by ~80k when compiling
with --intermodule-optimization --deforestation.

The improvement from deforestation is not measurable for mmc -C make_hlds.m.
Compile time for make_hlds.m increased from 50.7 seconds to 52.2 seconds
when running deforestation.

compiler/common.m
	Provide a nicer interface for simplifying a goal,
	not an entire procedure.
	Rework the interface to avoid manipulating lots of booleans.
	Return an estimate of the improvement in cost from simplification.
	Remove failing cases and disjuncts.
	Add an option to optimize common structures even across calls.
	Remove code to merge branched goals, since that is now
	done by deforestation.

	Fix a bug: the code to collect instmap_deltas for cases was not
	including the switched-on variable in the instmap_delta,
	which caused an abort in merge_instmap_delta if the switched
	on variable was further instantiated in the switch.
	This came up while compiling the compiler with --deforestation.

compiler/det_report.
	Output duplicate call warnings even if --warn-simple-code is not set.
	XXX fix the same problem with `:- pragma obsolete'.

compiler/code_aux.m
	Update code_aux__cannot_loop to use termination information.

compiler/hlds_pred.m
compiler/dnf.m
	Pass the type_info_varmap and typeclass_info_varmap
	into hlds_pred__define_new_pred.
	Restrict the variables of the new procedure onto the variables
	of the goal.
	Make sure all relevant type_infos are passed into the new
	procedure if --typeinfo-liveness is set.

compiler/modes.m
compiler/unique_modes.m
compiler/mode_info.m
compiler/modecheck_unify.m
	Put `how_to_check_goal' into the mode_info, rather
	than passing it around.
	Add a field to the `check_unique_modes' case which
	controls whether unique modes is allowed to choose
	a different procedure. For deforestation, this is
	not allowed, since it could result in choosing a less
	efficient procedure after generalisation.

compiler/options.m
	New options:
	--deforestation
	--deforestation-depth-limit
		Safety net for termination of the algorithm.
	--deforestation-cost-factor
		Fudge factor for working out whether deforestation
		was worthwhile.
	--deforestation-vars-threshold
		Like --inline-vars-threshold.
	Enable deforestation at -O3.

	Removed an unnecessary mode for option_defaults_2, since it
	resulted in a warning about disjuncts which cannot succeed.

compiler/handle_options.m
	--no-reorder-conj implies --no-deforestation.

compiler/inlining.m
	Separate code to rename goals into inlining__do_inline_call.

compiler/hlds_goal.m
	Added predicates goal_list_nonlocals, goal_list_instmap_delta
	and goal_list_determinism to approximate information about
	conjunctions.

compiler/hlds_module.m
	Added module_info_set_pred_proc_info to put an updated
	pred_info and proc_info back into the module_info.

compiler/hlds_out.m
	Exported hlds_out__write_instmap for debugging of deforestation.
	Bracket module names on constructors where necessary.

compiler/mercury_compile.m
	Call deforestation.
	Use the new interface to simplify.m.

compiler/intermod.m
	Put recursive predicates with a top-level branched goal
	into `.opt' files.

goal_util.m
	Added goal_calls_pred_id to work out if a predicate is
	recursive before mode analysis.
	Export goal_util__goals_goal_vars for use by deforestation.
	Give a better message for a missing variable in a substitution.

compiler/instmap.m
	Give a better message for inst_merge failing.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.m
	Document the new modules.

library/varset.m
	Add varset__select to project a varset's names and values
	onto a set of variables.

doc/user_guide.texi
	Document deforestation.
	Remove a reference to a non-existent option, --no-specialize.

util/mdemangle.c
profiler/demangle.m
tests/misc_tests/mdemangle_test.{exp,inp}
	Handle the `DeforestationIn__' predicate names introduced by
	deforestation, similar to the `IntroducedFrom__' for lambda goals.

New files:

deforest.m	Deforestation.
pd_cost.m	Cost estimation.
pd_debug.m	Debugging output.
pd_info.m	State type and version control.
pd_term.m	Termination checking.
pd_util.m	Utility predicates

11d8161692 Add support for nested modules.
Estimated hours taken: 50

Add support for nested modules.

- module names may themselves be module-qualified
- modules may contain `:- include_module' declarations
  which name sub-modules
- a sub-module has access to all the declarations in the
  parent module (including its implementation section).

This support is not yet complete; see the BUGS and LIMITATIONS below.

LIMITATIONS
- source file names must match module names
	(just as they did previously)
- mmc doesn't allow path names on the command line any more
	(e.g. `mmc --make-int ../library/foo.m').
- import_module declarations must use the fully-qualified module name
- module qualifiers must use the fully-qualified module name
- no support for root-qualified module names
	(e.g. `:parent:child' instead of `parent:child').
- modules may not be physically nested (only logical nesting, via
  `include_module').

BUGS
- doesn't check that the parent module is imported/used before allowing
	import/use of its sub-modules.
- doesn't check that there is an include_module declaration in the
	parent for each module claiming to be a child of that parent
- privacy of private modules is not enforced

-------------------

NEWS:
	Mention that we support nested modules.

library/ops.m:
library/nc_builtin.nl:
library/sp_builtin.nl:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Add `include_module' as a new prefix operator.
	Change the associativity of `:' from xfy to yfx
	(since this made parsing module qualifiers slightly easier).

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add new `include_module' declaration.
	Change the `module_name' and `module_specifier' types
	from strings to sym_names, so that module names can
	themselves be module qualified.

compiler/modules.m:
	Add predicates module_name_to_file_name/2 and
	file_name_to_module_name/2.
	Lots of changes to handle parent module dependencies,
	to create parent interface (`.int0') files, to read them in,
	to output correct dependencies information for them to the
	`.d' and `.dep' files, etc.
	Rewrite a lot of the code to improve the readability
	(add comments, use subroutines, better variable names).
	Also fix a couple of bugs:
	- generate_dependencies was using the transitive implementation
	  dependencies rather than the transitive interface dependencies
	  to compute the `.int3' dependencies when writing `.d' files
	  (this bug was introduced during crs's changes to support
	  `.trans_opt' files)
	- when creating the `.int' file, it was reading in the
	  interfaces for modules imported in the implementation section,
	  not just those in the interface section.
	  This meant that the compiler missed a lot of errors.

library/graph.m:
library/lexer.m:
library/term.m:
library/term_io.m:
library/varset.m:
compiler/*.m:
	Add `:- import_module' declarations to the interface needed
	by declarations in the interface.  (The previous version
	of the compiler did not detect these missing interface imports,
	due to the above-mentioned bug in modules.m.)

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/intermod.m:
	Change mercury_compile__maybe_grab_optfiles and
	intermod__grab_optfiles so that they grab the opt files for
	parent modules as well as the ones for imported modules.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Minor changes to handle parent module dependencies.
	(Also improve the wording of the warning about trans-opt
	dependencies.)

compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/module_qual.m:
	Ignore `:- include_module' declarations.

compiler/module_qual.m:
	A couple of small changes to handle nested module names.

compiler/prog_out.m:
compiler/prog_util.m:
	Add new predicates string_to_sym_name/3 (prog_util.m) and
	sym_name_to_string/{2,3} (prog_out.m).

compiler/*.m:
	Replace many occurrences of `string' with `module_name'.
	Change code that prints out module names or converts
	them to strings or filenames to handle the fact that
	module names are now sym_names intead of strings.
	Also change a few places (e.g. in intermod.m, hlds_module.m)
	where the code assumed that any qualified symbol was
	fully-qualified.

compiler/prog_io.m:
compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
	Move sym_name_and_args/3, parse_qualified_term/4 and
	parse_qualified_term/5 preds from prog_io_goal.m to prog_io.m,
	since they are very similar to the parse_symbol_name/2 predicate
	already in prog_io.m.  Rewrite these predicates, both
	to improve maintainability, and to handle the newly
	allowed syntax (module-qualified module names).
	Rename parse_qualified_term/5 as `parse_implicit_qualified_term'.

compiler/prog_io.m:
	Rewrite the handling of `:- module' and `:- end_module'
	declarations, so that it can handle nested modules.
	Add code to parse `include_module' declarations.

compiler/prog_util.m:
compiler/*.m:
	Add new predicates mercury_public_builtin_module/1 and
	mercury_private_builtin_module/1 in prog_util.m.
	Change most of the hard-coded occurrences of "mercury_builtin"
	to call mercury_private_builtin_module/1 or
	mercury_public_builtin_module/1 or both.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Add llds_out__sym_name_mangle/2, for mangling module names.

compiler/special_pred.m:
compiler/mode_util.m:
compiler/clause_to_proc.m:
compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
compiler/lambda.m:
compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Move the predicates in_mode/1, out_mode/1, and uo_mode/1
	from special_pred.m to mode_util.m, and change various
	hard-coded definitions to instead call these predicates.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Ensure that the type names `type_info' and `typeclass_info' are
	module-qualified in the generated code.  This avoids a problem
	where the code generated by polymorphism.m was not considered
	type-correct, due to the type `type_info' not matching
	`mercury_builtin:type_info'.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	Simplify the code for check_instance_pred and
	get_matching_instance_pred_ids.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/modules.m:
	Disallow directory names in command-line arguments.

compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/modules.m:
	Add a `--make-private-interface' option.
	The private interface file `<module>.int0' contains
	all the declarations in the module; it is used for
	compiling sub-modules.

scripts/Mmake.rules:
scripts/Mmake.vars.in:
	Add support for creating `.int0' and `.date0' files
	by invoking mmc with `--make-private-interface'.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document `--make-private-interface' and the `.int0'
	and `.date0' file extensions.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Document nested modules.

util/mdemangle.c:
profiler/demangle.m:
	Demangle names with multiple module qualifiers.

tests/general/Mmakefile:
tests/general/string_format_test.m:
tests/general/string_format_test.exp:
tests/general/string__format_test.m:
tests/general/string__format_test.exp:
tests/general/.cvsignore:
	Change the `:- module string__format_test' declaration in
	`string__format_test.m' to `:- module string_format_test',
	because with the original declaration the `__' was taken
	as a module qualifier, which lead to an error message.
	Hence rename the file accordingly, to avoid the warning
	about file name not matching module name.

tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
tests/invalid/missing_interface_import.m:
tests/invalid/missing_interface_import.err_exp:
	Regression test to check that the compiler reports
	errors for missing `import_module' in the interface section.

tests/invalid/*.err_exp:
tests/warnings/unused_args_test.exp:
tests/warnings/unused_import.exp:
	Update the expected diagnostics output for the test cases to
	reflect a few minor changes to the warning messages.

tests/hard_coded/Mmakefile:
tests/hard_coded/parent.m:
tests/hard_coded/parent.child.m:
tests/hard_coded/parent.exp:
tests/hard_coded/parent2.m:
tests/hard_coded/parent2.child.m:

5013dd9c76 Implement nondet pragma C codes.
Estimated hours taken: 40

Implement nondet pragma C codes.

runtime/mercury_stacks.h:
	Define a new macro, mkpragmaframe, for use in the implementation
	of nondet pragma C codes. This new macro includes space for a
	struct with a given sruct tag in the nondet stack frame being created.

compiler/{prog_data.m,hlds_goal.m}:
	Revise the representation of pragma C codes, both as the item and
	in the HLDS.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Parse nondet pragma C declarations.

	Fix the indentation in some places.

compiler/llds.m:
	Include an extra argument in mkframe instructions. This extra argument
	gives the details of the C structure (if any) to be included in the
	nondet stack frame to be created.

	Generalize the LLDS representation of pragma C codes. Instead of a
	fixed sequence of <assign from inputs, user c code, assign to outputs>,
	let the sequence contain these elements, as well as arbitrary
	compiler-generated C code, in any order and possibly with repetitions.
	This flexibility is needed for nondet pragma C codes.

	Add a field to pragma C codes to say whether they can call Mercury.
	Some optimizations can do a better job if they know that a pragma C
	code cannot call Mercury.

	Add another field to pragma C codes to give the name of the label
	they refer to (if any). This is needed to prevent labelopt from
	incorrectly optimizing away the label definition.

	Add a new alternative to the type pragma_c_decl, to describe the
	declaration of the local variable that points to the save struct.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Output mkframe instructions that specify a struct as invoking the new
	mkpragmaframe macro, and make sure that the struct is declared just
	before the procedure that uses it.

	Other minor changes to keep up with the changes to the representation
	of pragma C code in the LLDS, and to make the output look a bit nicer.

compiler/pragma_c_gen.m:
	Add code to generate code for nondet pragma C codes. Revise the utility
	predicates and their data structures a bit to make this possible.

compiler/code_gen.m:
	Add code for the necessary special handling of prologs and epilogs
	of procedures defined by nondet pragma C codes. The prologs need
	to be modified to include a programmer-defined C structure in the
	nondet stack frame and to communicate the location of this structure
	to the pragma C code, whereas the functionality of the epilog is
	taken care of by the pragma C code itself.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	When creating a proc_info for a procedure defined by a pragma C code,
	we used to insert unifications between the headvars and the vars of
	the pragma C code into the body goal. We now perform substitutions
	instead. This removes a factor that would complicate the generation
	of code for nondet pragma C codes.

	Pass a moduleinfo down the procedures that warn about singletons
	(and other basic scope errors). When checking whether to warn about
	an argument of a pragma C code not being mentioned in the C code
	fragment, we need to know whether the argument is input or output,
	since input variables should appear in some code fragments in a
	nondet pragma C code and must not appear in others. The
	mode_is_{in,out}put checks need the moduleinfo.

	(We do not need to check for any variables being mentioned where
	they shouldn't be. The C compiler will fail in the presence of any
	errors of that type, and since those variables could be referred
	to via macros whose definitions we do not see, we couldn't implement
	a reliable test anyway.)

compiler/opt_util.m:
	Recognize that some sorts of pragma_c codes cannot affect the data
	structures that control backtracking. This allows peepholing to
	do a better job on code sequences produced for nondet pragma C codes.

	Recognize that the C code strings inside some pragma_c codes refer to
	other labels in the procedure. This prevents labelopt from incorrectly
	optimizing away these labels.

compiler/dupelim.m:
	If a label is referred to from within a C code string, then do not
	attempt to optimize it away.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Remove a now incorrect part of an error message.

compiler/*.m:
	Minor changes to conform to changes to the HLDS and LLDS data
	structures.

b4813457c9 A rewrite of termination analysis to make it significantly easier to modify,
Estimated hours taken: 60

A rewrite of termination analysis to make it significantly easier to modify,
and to extend its capabilities.

compiler/error_util.m:
	A new file containing code that makes it easier to generate
	nicely formatted error messages.

compiler/termination.m:
	Updates to reflect the changes to the representation of termination
	information.

	Instead of doing pass 1 on all SCCs and then pass 2 on all SCCs,
	we now do both pass 1 and 2 on an SCC before moving on to the next.

	Do not insist that either all procedures in an SCC are
	compiler-generated or all are user-written, since this need not be
	true in the presence of user-defined equality predicates.

	Clarify the structure of the code that handles builtins and compiler
	generated predicates.

	Concentrate all the code for updating module_infos in this module.
	Previously it was scattered in several places in several files.

	Put all the code for writing out termination information at the
	end of the module in a logical order.

compiler/term_traversal.m:
	A new file containing code used by both pass 1 and pass 2 to
	traverse procedure bodies.

compiler/term_pass1.m:
	Use the new traversal module.

	Clarify the fixpoint computation on the set of output supplier
	arguments.

	Remove duplicates from the list of equations given to the solver.
	This avoids a det stack overflow in lp.m when doing termination
	analysis on options.m.

	If an output argument of a predicate makes sense only in the absence
	of errors, then return it only in the absence of errors.

compiler/term_pass2.m:
	Use the new traversal module. Unlike the previous code, this allows us
	to ignore recursive calls with input arguments bigger than the head
	if those calls occur after goals that cannot succeed (since those
	calls will never be reached).

	Implement a better way of doing single argument analysis, which
	(unlike the previous version) works in the presence of mutual recursion
	and other calls between the recursive call and the start of the clause.

	Implement a more precise way of checking for recursions that don't
	cause termination problems. We now allow calls from p to q in which
	the recursive input supplier arguments can grow, provided that on
	any path on which q can call p, directly or indirectly, the recursive
	input supplier arguments shrink by a greater amount.

	If an output argument of a predicate makes sense only in the absence
	of errors, then return it only in the absence of errors.

compiler/term_util.m:
	Updates to reflect the changes to the representation of termination
	information.

	Reorder to put related code together.

	Change the interface of several predicates to better reflect the
	way they are used.

	Add some more utility predicates.

compiler/term_errors.m:
	Small changes to the set of possible errors, and major changes in
	the way the messages are printed out (we now use error_util).

compiler/options.m:
	Change --term-single-arg from being a bool to an int option,
	whose value indicates the maximum size of an SCC in which we try
	single argument analysis. (Large SCCs can cause single-arg analysis
	to require a lot of iterations.)

	Add an (int) option that controls the max number of paths
	that we are willing to analyze (analyzing too many paths can cause
	det stack overflow).

	Add an (int) option that controls the max number of causes of
	nontermination that we print out.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Use two separate slots in the proc_info to hold argument size data
	and termination info, instead of the single slot used until now.
	The two kinds of information are produced and used separately.

	Make the layout of the get and set procedures for proc_infos more
	regular, to facilitate later updates.

	The procedures proc_info_{,set_}variables did the same work as
	proc_info_{,set_}varset. To eliminate potential confusion, I
	removed the first set.

compiler/*.m:
	Change proc_info_{,set_}variables to proc_info_{,set_}varset.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Change the code to handle the arg size data and the termination
	info separately.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Change the internal representation of termination_info pragmas to
	hold the arg size data and the termination info separately.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Change the external representation of termination_info pragmas to
	group the arg size data together with the output supplier data,
	to which it is logically connected.

compiler/module_qual.m:
compiler/modules.m:
	Change the code to accommodate the change to the internal
	representation of termination_info pragmas.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Fix some documentation rot, and clarify some points.

	Document termination analysis.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document --term-single-arg and the new options.

	Remove spaces from the ends of lines.

library/bag.m:
	Add a new predicate, bag__least_upper_bound.

	Fix code that would do the wrong thing if executed by Prolog.

	Remove spaces from the ends of lines.

library/list.m:
	Add a new predicate, list__take_upto.

library/set{,_ordlist}.m:
	Add a new predicate, set{,_ordlist}__count.

tests/term/*:
	A bunch of new test cases to test the behaviour of termination
	analysis. They are the small benchmark suite from our paper.

tests/Mmakefile:
	Enable the new test case directory.

7406335105 This change implements typeclasses. Included are the necessary changes to
Estimated hours taken: 500 or so

This change implements typeclasses. Included are the necessary changes to
the compiler, runtime and library.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Typecheck the constraints on a pred by adding constraints for each
	call to a pred/func with constraints, and eliminating constraints
	by applying context reduction.

	While reducing the constraints, keep track of the proofs so that
	polymorphism can produce the tyepclass_infos for eliminated
	constraints.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Perform the source-to-source transformation which turns code with
	typeclass constraints into code without constraints, but with extra
	"typeclass_info", or "dictionary" parameters.

	Also, rather than always having a type_info directly for each type
	variable, sometimes the type_info is hidden inside a typeclass_info.

compiler/bytecode*.m:
	Insert some code to abort if bytecode generation is used when
	typeclasses are used.
compiler/call_gen.m:
	Generate code for a class_method_call, which forms the body of a class
	method (by selecting the appropriate proc from the typeclass_info).
compiler/dead_proc_elim.m:
	Don't eliminate class methods if they are potentially used outside
	the module
compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Define data types to store:
		- the typeclass definitions
		- the instances of a class
		- "constraint_proof". ie. the proofs of redundancy of a
		  constraint. This info is used by polymorphism to construct the
		  typeclass_infos for a constraint.
		- the "base_tyepclass_info_constant", which is analagous the
		  the base_type_info_constant
compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Define the class_method_call goal. This goal is inserted into the
	body of class method procs, and is responsible for selecting the
	appropriate part of the typeclass_info to call.
compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add the class table and instance table to the module_info.
compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Output info about base_typeclass_infos and class_method_calls
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Change the representation of the locations of type_infos from "var"
	to type_info_locn, which is either a var, or part of a typeclass_info,
	since now the typeclass_infos contain the type_infos for the type that
	they constrain.

	Add constraints to the pred_info.

	Add constraint_proofs to the pred_info (so that typeclass.m can
	annotate the pred_info with the reasons that constraints were
	eliminated, so that polymorphism.m can in turn generate the
	typeclass_infos for the constraints).

	Add the "class_method" marker.

compiler/lambda.m:
	A feable attempt at adding class ontexts to lambda expressions,
	untested and almost certainly not working.
compiler/llds_out.m:
	Output the code addresses for do_*det_class_method, and output
	appropriately mangled symbol names for base_typeclass_infos.
compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Add constraints to the types on pred and func decls, and add
	class and instance declarations to the class_table and instance_table
	respectively.
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Add the check_typeclass pass.
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Output constraints of pred and funcs, and output typeclass and instance
	declarations.
compiler/module_qual.m:
	Module qualify typeclass names in pred class contexts, and qualify the
	typeclass and instance decls themselves.
compiler/modules.m:
	Output typeclass declarations in the short interface too.
compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add the "typeclass" and "instance" items. Define the types to store
	information about the declarations, including class contexts on pred
	and func decls.
compiler/prog_io.m:
	Parse constraints on pred and func declarations.
compiler/prod_out.m:
	Output class contexts on pred and func decls.
compiler/type_util.m:
	Add preds to apply a substitution to a class_constraint, and to
	a list of class constraints. Add type_list_matches_exactly/2. Also
	add typeclass_info and base_typeclass_info as types which should not
	be optimised as no_tag types (seeing that we cheat a bit about their
	representation).
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Add notes on module qualification of class contexts. Needs expansion
	to include more stuff on typeclasses.
compiler/*.m:
	Various minor changes.

New Files:
compiler/base_typeclass_info.m:
	Produce one base_typeclass_info for each instance declaration.
compiler/prog_io_typeclass.m:
	Parse typeclass and instance declarations.
compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	Check the conformance of an instance declaration to the typeclass
	declaration, including building up a proof of how superclass
	constraints are satisfied so that polymorphism.m is able to construct
	the typeclass_info, including the superclass typeclass_infos.

library/mercury_builtin.m:
	Implement that base_typeclass_info and typeclass_info types, as
	well as the predicates type_info_from_typeclass_info/3 to extract
	a type_info from a typeclass_info, and superclass_from_typeclass_info/3
	for extracting superclasses.
library/ops.m:
	Add "typeclass" and "instance" as operators.
library/string.m:
	Add a (in, uo) mode for string__length/3.

	responsible for extracting the correct code address from the
	typeclass_info, setting up the arguments correctly, then executing
	the code.
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Macros for accessing the typeclass_info structure.

27d156bbb5 Implemented a :- use_module directive. This is the same as
Estimated hours taken: 14

Implemented a :- use_module directive. This is the same as
:- import_module, except all uses of the imported items
must be explicitly module qualified.

:- use_module is implemented by ensuring that unqualified versions
of items only get added to the HLDS symbol tables if they were imported
using import_module.

Indirectly imported items (from `.int2' files) and items declared in `.opt'
files are treated as if they were imported with use_module, since all uses
of them should be module qualified.

compiler/module_qual.m
	Keep two sets of type, mode and inst ids, those which can
	be used without qualifiers and those which can't.

	Renamed some predicates which no longer have unique names since
	'__' became a synonym for ':'.

	Made mq_info_set_module_used check whether the current item is in
	the interface, rather than relying on its caller to do the check.

	Removed init_mq_info_module, since make_hlds.m now uses the
	mq_info built during the module qualification pass.

compiler/prog_data.m
	Added a pseudo-declaration `used', same as `imported' except uses of
	the following items must be module qualified.

	Added a type need_qualifier to describe whether uses of an item
	need to be module qualified.

compiler/make_hlds.m
	Keep with the import_status whether current item was imported
	using a :- use_module directive.

	Use the mq_info structure passed in instead of building a new one.

	Ensure unqualified versions of constructors only get added to the
	cons_table if they can be used without qualification.

compiler/hlds_module.m
	Added an extra argument to predicate_table_insert of type
	need_qualifier.

	Only add predicates to the name and name-arity indices if they
	can be used without qualifiers.

	Changed the structure of the module-name-arity index, so that
	lookups can be made without an arity, such as when type-checking
	module qualified higher-order predicate constants. This does not
	change the interface to the module_name_arity index.

	Factored out some common code in predicate_table_insert which
	applies to both predicates and functions.

compiler/hlds_pred.m
	Removed the opt_decl import_status. It isn't needed any more
	since all uses of items declared in .opt files must now be
	module qualified.

	Added some documentation about when the clauses_info is valid.

compiler/intermod.m
	Ensure that predicate and function calls in the `.opt' file are
	module qualified. Use use_module instead of import_module in
	`.opt' files.

compiler/modules.m
	Handle use_module directives.

	Report a warning if both use_module and import_module declarations
	exist for the same module.

compiler/mercury_compile.m
	Collect inter-module optimization information before module
	qualification, since it can't cause conflicts any more. This means
	that the mq_info structure built in module_qual.m can be reused in
	make_hlds.m, instead of building a new one.

compiler/prog_out.m
	Add a predicate prog_out__write_module_list, which was moved
	here from module_qual.m.

compiler/typecheck.m
	Removed code to check that predicates declared in `.opt' files
	were being used appropriately, since this is now handled by
	use_module.

compiler/*.m
	Added missing imports, mostly for prog_data and term.

e3471f333f Fix a bug in inlining of polymorphic pragma c_code procedures.
Estimated hours taken: 3

Fix a bug in inlining of polymorphic pragma c_code procedures.

The bug was that if the actual argument type has a specific type
of say `float', then the C variable for the corresponding formal
parameter will be declared to have type `Float', whereas without
inlining the argument type would have been polymorphic and so
the C variable would have been declared to have type `Word'.
Hence we need to keep track of the original argument types,
before any inlining or specialization has occurred, and use
these original argument types to determine how to declare
the C variables, rather than using the actual argument types
for this particular specialization.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add a new field to pragma_c_code goals, holding the
	original argument types (before any inlining or specialization)
	of the pragma_c_code procedure.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Initialize this field with the declared argument types for
	the pragma c_code procedure.

b043b3e880 Implemented `:- pragma fact_table' for string, int and float
Estimated hours taken: 250

Implemented `:- pragma fact_table' for string, int and float
argument types.  Facts can have any combination of input and output modes.
Hash tables are used to lookup facts in modes that have input
arguments.

compiler/fact_table.m:
	Added code for outputting `pragma c_code' to access facts in all
	mode/determinism combinations in `pragma fact_table's.
	Added code to build and output hash tables (as C arrays) for
	input modes of fact tables.
	Many other changes and rearrangements in the module to support the
	above.

compiler/export.m:
	Moved declarations for `convert_type_from_mercury/3' and
	`convert_type_to_mercury/3' to the interface so they can be
	used by `fact_table.m'.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Add a check to `postprocess_options' to ensure that arguments
	to `--fact-table-hash-percent-full' are integers in the range
	1 to 100.

compiler/inlining.m:
	Stop `model_non' `pragma c_code' being inlined unless it has
	the new `extra_pragma_info' field (which hasn't been fully
	implemented yet).  This ensures that code such as the lookup
	code generated for nondet and multidet modes of `pragma
	fact_table's works with inlining turned on.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Added arguments to the calls to predicates in fact_table.m
	where necessary.
	Add `c_header_code' returned by `fact_table_compile_facts' to
	the module_info.

compiler/mode_util.m:
	Added two new predicates:
	`mode_is_fully_input' which is true iff the initial
		inst of the mode is ground.
	`mode_is_fully_output' which is true iff the inital inst is
		free and the final inst is ground.

compiler/modules.m:
	Added a dependency to `.d' files to ensure that fact table C
	files are recompiled whenever they are recreated.

compiler/options.m
	Added new options:
		`--fact_table_max_array_size <n>' where n is the
			maximum size array to use for `pragma fact_table'
			data.  (default 1024)
		`--fact_table_hash_percent_full <n>' where n is how
			full the `pragma fact_table' hash tables should
			be allowed to get, given as an integer percentage
			(between 1 and 99).  (default 90).
	Documentation for these options has been added to the usage
	message but is commented out at the moment.

Estimated hours taken: 100

* Inter-module unused argument removal.

* Allow the user to specify which directories should be searched
for .opt files.

* Enhancements to simplify.m and common.m which will be useful for
partial deduction.

compiler/options.m
	Added and documented options:
	--intermod-unused-args to enable inter-module unused argument removal.
	--intermod-directory <dir>, same as --search-directory except used
		to locate .opt files.
	--use-search-directories-for-intermod - use the search directories
		for .opt files as well.
	--warn-simple-code - a flag to control the warnings produced by
		simplify.m so that they respect --inhibit-warnings.

compiler/unused_args.m
	Use the unused argument info from the .opt file.
	Clobber the dependency_info if any new preds were added.

compiler/hlds_module.m
	Added a field to the module_info to store unused argument
	information from .opt files.

compiler/prog_data.m
	Add :- pragma unused_args to hold unused argument information.
	This should only be used in .opt files.

compiler/make_hlds.m
	Build the unused_arg_info field in the module_info.
	Check that pragma unused_args only appears in .opt files.
	Fill in the non-locals field in the goal_info for the builtin
	stubs so that mode analysis computes the correct instmap delta.

compiler/intermod.m
	Read in the unused argument information for the current module when
	compiling to C. This is used to ensure that clauses are produced with
	the correct number of removed arguments (it may be possible to remove
	more arguments with the information from other modules).
	Fix a bug in the handling of module qualified function calls and
	higher-order predicate constants.

compiler/handle_options.m
	Handle --intermod-unused-args and
	--use-search-directories-for-intermod.

compiler/mercury_compile.m
	Run the entire front end and polymorphism (not just up to
	typechecking) when building the .opt file with
	--intermod-unused-args.
	Use the new interface to simplify.m, remove calls to excess.m
	and common.m.

compiler/code_util.m
compiler/llds_out.m
	When generating local code for a specialized version of a predicate
	from another module, put this module's name on the label to avoid
	link errors.

compiler/higher_order.m
	Don't add the originating module name to the name of the specialized
	version, since that is now done in code_util.m.
	Clobber the dependency graph so that inlining will work on the
	specialized versions in profiling grades (this will cause slightly
	slower compilation in profiling grades, something I need to fix).

compiler/simplify.m
	Merge a branching goal and an adjacent switch where the branches
	of the first goal contain extra information about the switched
	on variable of the second goal.
	Merge the excess assignments and common subexpression elimination
	passes into simplify.m.

compiler/excess.m
	The functionality of this module is now in simplify.m, but I'll
	leave it here for now.

compiler/instmap.m
	Added predicates instmap__bind_var_to_functor and
	instmap_delta_bind_var_functor to which take a var, cons_id
	and an instmap and adjust the inst of the var. This is used to
	update the instmap at the beginning of each case in a switch.
	Fix a bug in merge_instmap_delta where variables whose inst had
	information added in one branch of a switch, disj, or ite had that
	changed inst included in the instmap_delta for the entire
	branched goal.

compiler/mode_util.m
	Use instmap_delta_bind_var_to_functor in recompute_instmap_delta.
	Added predicate bind_inst_to_functor which takes a ground or bound
	inst and a cons_id and adjusts the top level of the inst to be bound
	to that cons_id. Other types of inst are left unchanged.
	Change recompute_instmap_delta so that the switched on variable of
	a switch is bound to the functor in each case even if the binding
	unification has been removed. Added a boolean argument to request
	recomputation of instmap_deltas for atomic goals.

compiler/modes.m
compiler/unique_modes.m
	Make sure that the instmap_delta for each branch of a switch
	includes the extra information added by the functor test.

compiler/common.m
	Removed the goal traversal. Leave preds to be called by simplify.m
	to optimise common unifications and calls.
	Warn about and eliminate multiple calls to a predicate with the same
	input arguments.
	Replace deconstructions of known terms with assignments to the output
	variables where this would not make more variables live at stack
	flushes.

compiler/follow_code.m
	Exported move_follow_code_select.
	Don't move follow code into erroneous branches.

library/string.nu.nl
	Added string__contains_char/2.
