f4b091cb5b When printing messages about errors involving overloaded types, print each
Estimated hours taken: 14
Branches: main

When printing messages about errors involving overloaded types, print each
type only once.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Detect and eliminate duplicate type names in error messages about
	overloaded types.

	When a variable has more than one type, print each type on a line of
	its own, to make the output easier to read. (Since type names currently
	have too many parentheses, further improvements are still possible.)

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Provide a mechanism to turn a type into a string without printing it,
	so that it can be checked againt the representations of other types.

	This required changing many of the predicates in this module so that
	instead of doing I/O directly, they go through a typeclass interface
	which has two implementations: one does I/O while the other gathers
	output in a string.

	The performance impact of this change should be acceptable, since I/O
	is slow compared to computation anyway.

compiler/purity.m:
	Provide a predicate that returns a purity prefix as a string, to
	accompany another that prints it out.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
compiler/prog_util.m:
	Minor changes to conform to the naming scheme now used in
	mercury_to_mercury.m, in particular to the fact the operations of the
	form x_to_string are now functions, not predicates.

	The functionality of prog_util should be unaffected. In check_typeclass
	we may now print more detailed error messages than before.

library/string.m:
	Declare the outputs append, append_list and join_list to be unique.
	Their implementations already return unique strings; declaring them to
	be unique help avoid redundant copying in mercury_to_mercury.m.

library/term_io.m:
	Add alternative versions of some output predicates that return their
	"output" in a string instead.

	Factor out some common code.

tests/invalid/overloading.{m,exp}:
	A test exercising the error message affected by the change.

tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
	Enable the new test.

NEWS:
	Announce the changes in the library.

30fc64c5b1 Place sub-modules in the same assembly as their parent on the IL
Estimated hours taken: 8
Branches: main

Place sub-modules in the same assembly as their parent on the IL
backend.

This allowes the user to decide how their application should be
packaged.  If the user wishes their application to be deployed as one
assembly then they should use sub modules.

This also simplifies management, as it allows such things as strong keys
(which apply to one assembly) to be used more easily.

README.DotNet:
    Discuss how the mercury compiler decides which assembly to place a
    Mercury module in.

compiler/ilasm.m:
    Add the '.file' and '.module extern' declarations.
    Modify output_structured_name so that it outputs
    [.module <sub-module>.dll] or [<assembly>] as the assembly reference
    as necessary.

compiler/ilds.m:
    Change the assembly_name type so that it records both the assembly
    and sub-module name for sub-modules.

compiler/mlds_to_il.m:
    Use the new assembly_name type when generating assembly_names.
    Factor out some duplicate code in class_name.
    Modify generate_extern_assembly so that it outputs `.file' and
    `.module extern' declarations in the top level module of nested
    modules.

compiler/modules.m:
    Add the dependency that the top level dll of a nested module
    hierachy depends on all of it sub-modules dlls, as they are
    referenced from inside the top level dll.

    Change the top level make rule from
        <main> : <main>.exe $(<main>.dlls)
    to
        <main> : <main>.exe
        <main>.exe : $(<main>.dlls)
    so that all the dlls are built before building the exe, as the exe
    may contain references to sub-module dlls.

compiler/prog_util.m:
    Add the utility predicate outermost_qualifier which retrieves the
    top level qualifier from a sym_name.

9dd11b2fc6 Smart recompilation. Record version numbers for each item
Estimated hours taken: 400

Smart recompilation. Record version numbers for each item
in interface files. Record which items are used in each compilation.
Only recompile a module if the output file does not exist or
nothing has changed.

There is still some work to do on this:
- it doesn't work with inter-module optimization.
- it doesn't work when the module name doesn't match the file name.
  (this problem will go away when mmake functionality is moved into
  the compiler.

I'll hold off documenting this change in the NEWS file and
on the web page for a month or so, until I've had a bit more
experience using it.

compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
doc/user_guide.texi:
	Add an option `--smart-recompilation', currently off by default.

	Add an internal option `--generate-version-numbers' to control
	whether version numbers are written to the interface files. If
	`--smart-recompilation' is disabled because the module
	is being compiled with `--intermodule-optimization' (e.g. in the
	standard library), we still want to write the version numbers
	to the interface files.

	Add an option `--verbose-recompilation' (default off)
	to write messages describing why recompilation is needed.

	Add an option `--warn-smart-recompilation' (default on)
	to control warnings relating to the smart recompilation
	system. Warn if smart recompilation will not work with
	the output and inter-module optimization options given.

compiler/recompilation.m:
	Type declarations for smart recompilation.
	Predicates to record program items used by compilation.

compiler/recompilation_version.m:
	Compute version numbers for program items in interface files.

compiler/recompilation_usage.m:
	Find all items used by a compilation.

compiler/recompilation_check.m:
	Check whether recompilation is necessary.

compiler/timestamp.m:
	Timestamp ADT for smart recompilation.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Invoke the smart recompilation passes.

compiler/modules.m:
compiler/prog_io.m:
	Return timestamps for modules read.

	When reading a module make sure the current input stream
	is reset to its old value, not stdin.

	Handle version number items in interface files.

compiler/module_qual.m:
compiler/unify_proc.m:
compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Record all items used by local items.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Process `:- pragma type_spec' declarations in
	add_item_list_clauses. The qual_info is needed
	when processing `:- pragma type_spec' declarations
	so that any equivalence types used by the declaration
	can be recorded as used by the predicate or function to
	which the `:- pragma type_spec' applies.

compiler/equiv_type.m:
	For each imported item, record which equivalence types
	are used by that item.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Add a field to the module_info to store information about
	items used during compilation of a module.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	Make sure any items used in clauses for typeclass method
	implementations are recorded in the `.used' file.

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/*.m:
	Factor out some duplicated code by combining the
	pred and func, and pred_mode and func_mode items.

	Make it easier to extract the name of a type, inst or mode
	from its declaration.

	Add an item type to hold the version numbers for an interface file.

	Allow warnings to be reported for `nothing' items (used for
	reporting when version numbers are written using an
	obsolete format).

compiler/prog_io.m:
compiler/prog_io_util.m:
compiler/typecheck.m:
compiler/type_util.m:
compiler/*.m:
	Strip contexts from all types, not just those in class constraints.
	This makes it possible to use ordinary unification to check
	whether items have changed (with the exception of clauses).

	Remove code to create types with contexts in typechecking.

	Remove code scattered through the compiler to remove contexts
	from types in class constraints.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/prog_util.m:
	Move hlds_pred__adjust_func_arity to prog_util, so that it
	can be used by the pre-hlds passes.

compiler/typecheck.m:
compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Move typecheck__visible_modules to hlds_module.m, so it can
	be used by recompilation_usage.m.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Add a comment telling where updates may be required if the
	code to typecheck a var-functor unification changes.

compiler/error_util.m:
	Allow writing messages without contexts (used for the verbose
	recompilation messages).

	Add functions to format sym_name and sym_name_and_arity,
	and to add punctuation to the end of an error message
	without unwanted line breaks before the punctuation.

scripts/Mmake.rules:
compiler/modules.m:
	Don't remove the output file before running the compiler. We need
	to leave the old output file intact if smart recompilation detects
	that recompilation is not needed.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Document the new modules.

library/io.m:
NEWS:
	Add predicates to find the modification time of files
	and input_streams.

library/set.m:
NEWS:
	Add a predicate version of set__fold

	Don't sort the output of set__filter, it's already sorted.

library/std_util.m:
NEWS:
	Add a predicate `std_util__map_maybe/3' and a function
  	`std_util__map_maybe/2' to apply a predicate or a function to
    	a value stored in a term of type `std_util__maybe'.

configure.in:
runtime/mercury_conf.h.in:
runtime/RESERVED_MACRO_NAMES:
	When checking whether the compiler is recent enough, check for
	the --warn-smart-recompilation option.

	Check for stat().

library/Mmakefile:
	Disable warnings about smart recompilation not working with
	`--intermodule-optimization'.

browser/Mmakefile:
	Disable warnings about smart recompilation not working when
	the module name doesn't match the file name.

runtime/mercury_string.h:
	Add a macro MR_make_string_const() which automates computation
	of the length of string argument to MR_string_const().

tests/recompilation/Mmakefile:
tests/recompilation/runtests:
tests/recompilation/test_functions:
tests/recompilation/TESTS:
tests/recompilation/README:
	A framework for testing smart recompilation.
	The option currently only works for the recompilation directory.

b45be10117 (a) Move the tabling builtins, which are currently in private_builtin.m,
Estimated hours taken: 4

(a) Move the tabling builtins, which are currently in private_builtin.m,
into a different module which is only imported if the source contains
a tabling pragma.

(b) Improve the infrastructure for automatically importing modules to
make it easy to automatically import a module only if a certain option
is set.  The idea is to eventually use this to put the simplified HLDS
representation used for declarative debugging in a module which is
only imported if the appropriate declarative debugging option is
enabled.

compiler/modules.m:
	Change add_implicit_imports so that it takes the list of
	items, for (a) above, and an io__state pair, for (b) above.
	Change its callers to pass the new parameters.

	Add a new predicate get_implicit_dependencies
	(implemented using add_implicit_imports).

compiler/hlds_module.m:
compiler/module_qual.m:
	Call get_implicit_dependencies rather than duplicating the code.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Pass the item_list to module_info_init, since it's needed by
	get_implicit_dependencies.

compiler/prog_util.m:
	Add new predicates mercury_table_builtin_module/1 (which
	returns the name of the "table_builtin" module) and
	any_mercury_builtin_module (which checks whether any of
	mercury_{table,public,private}_builtin_module hold).

compiler/termination.m:
	Call any_mercury_builtin_module rather than checking
	for mercury_{public,private}_builtin_module.

compiler/table_gen.m:
	Change the module for tabling builtins from private_builtin to
	table_builtin.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add table_builtin to the builtin_mod enumeration,
	and change the module for tabling builtins from
	private_builtin to table_builtin.

compiler/dead_proc_elim.m:
	Add a comment about the treatment of builtin modules.

compiler/mode_util.m:
	When stripping out builtin module qualifiers, only strip
	qualifiers from "builtin:", not from "private_builtin:".

library/table_builtin.m:
library/private_builtin.m:
	Move the tabling builtins from private_builtin.m
	into a new module table_builtin.m.

library/library.m:
	Add table_builtin.m to the list of imported modules.
	(Likewise for builtin.m and private_builtin.m; it's not
	strictly necessary for those, since they're implicitly
	imported anyway, but importing them explicitly is clearer.)

library/io.m:
	Change private_builtin to table_builtin in the call to
	private_builtin__report_tabling_stats.

doc/Mmakefile:
	Don't include the documentation for table_builtin.m
	in the library reference manual.

79d75acdb0 Add impure functions to Mercury, clean up the purity module somewhat,
Estimated hours taken: 30

Add impure functions to Mercury, clean up the purity module somewhat,
fix some bugs in purity, update and expand the purity documentation,
and re-organize the purity checks.

Impure functions can be declared just like impure preds.
However, they can only be called in an explicit unification preceeded
by a purity level:

	impure X = some_impure_func(Y, Z)

The bug fixed was the fact that closures of impure predicates
were only being detected when using lambda syntax.  Purity information
was discarded and impure closures could be created like this:

	Pred = some_impure_pred

You could then use this predicate anywhere you like without any purity
declarations.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Add get_pred_id pred which will return the pred_id of a
	predicate matching a given type.  This is like
	get_pred_and_proc_id, but only gets the information we are
	interested in, and is semidet.
	We need a semidet version to handle cases where type inference
	cannot infer a type before the limit is reached, but we try to
	purity check this code.  (The bug mentioned above was stopping
	us from purity checking the test case for this before).

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Check for "impure" unifications with expressions that are not
	function calls and issue appropriate error messages.
	When unravelling impure function call unifications, put the input
	parameter unifications (if any) before the actual call.
	Only mark the goal_info for the function call as impure.

	Check unifications that are transformed into calls to make sure
	the call is purity correct.
	Put purity checking logic into separate predicates.
	Use an enum to return different errors and warnings.
	(The last two changes make it much easier to see the
	similarities between checking goals and checking predicates for
	purity correctness).
	Give different error messages for impure functions (highlight
	that you need to use them in an explicit unification).
	Handle unknown predicate lookups (can occur when unifying with
	a higher order term whose type could not be inferred).
	Add a few comments delineating where changes might need to be
	made to make foreign code impure by default in future.

f9b942b30e Allow functions to be declared by supplying the determinism but not the
Estimated hours taken: 12

Allow functions to be declared by supplying the determinism but not the
modes (we assume the default modes).

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Assume default modes if determinism is declared without modes
	in the :- func declaration.

compiler/prog_io.m:
	Don't give an error message for determinism without modes for
	function.

compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
	Update documentation to reflect default mode syntax.
	Assume default modes if determinism is declared without modes
	in lambda expressions.

compiler/prog_util.m:

5940825cdb Implement syntax for getting and setting fields of constructors.
Estimated hours taken: 70

Implement syntax for getting and setting fields of constructors.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Add information about field definitions to the module_info.

	Check that user-defined field access functions for exported
	fields are also exported, otherwise predicates in other modules
	could use a different method to access a field than predicates
	in module defining the field.
	Add a `predicate preds_add_implicit_report_error' to allow that check
	to be performed for functions which are added to the module_info
	by some means other than a `:- func' declaration.

	Parse field access goals and expressions.

	Add predicates `insert_arg_unifications_with_supplied_contexts',
	and `append_arg_unification', which allow more control over
	the contexts given to the added unifications. These are
	useful because the field value for an update is really an
	argument of the inner-most update function call, while the
	input term is an argument of the outer-most function call.

compiler/prog_io_dcg.m:
	Allow DCG goals of the form `:=(DCGArg)', which unifies `DCGArg'
	with the output DCG argument, ignoring the input DCG argument.
	The rationale for this change is that if we have convenient syntax
	for updating parts of a DCG argument, we should also have convenient
	syntax for updating the whole DCG argument.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Add a default clause for field access functions for which
	the user has supplied type and mode declarations but no
	clauses.

	Typecheck field access function calls.

	Use `io__write_list' to remove some duplication of code
	to write out comma separated lists of error descriptions.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	Expand field accessor goals into the equivalent unifications.
	They are expanded inline rather than generating new get and set
	predicates for field name to avoid having to work out how to mode
	the generated predicates.

	Remove an unnecessary goal traversal to qualify function
	calls and constructors. That code is now called from purity.m.

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/prog_io.m:
compiler/mercury_to_goedel.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Store field names as `sym_name's rather than strings.

	the field names visible in a module.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Add a field to type module_info to hold information

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add a version of goal_info_init which takes the context of
	the goal, for use by make_hlds.m.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Add a predicate `type_util__get_type_and_cons_defn' to
	get the hlds_type_defn and hlds_cons_defn for a user-defined
	constructor.

compiler/prog_util.m:
	Add predicates to add and remove prefixes or suffixes
	from the unqualified part of a sym_name.

compiler/prog_out.m:
	Add a predicate to convert a `sym_name/arity' to a string.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Add `hlds_out__simple_call_id_to_string' to convert a
	`pred_or_func - sym_name/arity' to a string for use in

	Thread through the pred_info so that the expansion of field accessor
	goals can add new variables.

	Add operator `:=/2' for field update expressions.

d8cfbaf07a Fix the remaining bugs with the handling of partial qualifiers
Estimated hours taken: 10

Fix the remaining bugs with the handling of partial qualifiers
for nested modules.

compiler/module_qual.m:
	Define a new abstract type partial_qualifier_info, and a predicate
	mq_info_get_partial_qualifier_info to get this type from the mq_info.
	Define a new predicate get_partial_qualifiers/3 in module_qual.m
	which is like the old get_partial_qualifiers/2 predicate from
	modules.m except that it takes a partial_qualifier_info and
	uses the information in this to return only the partial qualifiers
	for modules which are visible, rather than returning all partial
	qualifier regardless of whether the modules that they refer to
	are in scope or not.

compiler/prog_util.m:
	Export the `insert_module_qualifier' predicate, for use in the
	definition of get_partial_qualifiers/3.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Change the code for make_hlds__ctors_add and
	hlds_module__pred_table_insert/5 so that they handles partial
	qualifiers properly, computing the partial qualifiers by
	calling get_partial_qualifiers/3 rather than by checking the
	NeedQual variable and calling get_partial_qualifiers/2.

compiler/modules.m:
	Delete the old get_partial_qualifiers/2 predicate.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Add a new field to the HLDS containing the partial_qualifier_info.
	Add a partial_qualifier_info parameter to pred_table_insert/5.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:

6af76f74ea Move some declarations around and make some other minor changes in order
Estimated hours taken: 4

Move some declarations around and make some other minor changes in order
to reduce the number and complexity of the intermodule dependencies.
In particular, ensure that prog_data.m does not need to import
hlds*.m, purity.m, rl.m, or term_util.m.

Since we expect to have only one input language, but potentially many
different target languages, the general design principle that we have adopted
in order to minimize the number of dependencies, particularly cyclic ones,
is that modules which belong to an earlier stage of compilation should
not depend on modules which belong to a later stage of compilation.
However, that design principle has not been adhered to in many cases.
This change reduces the number of such cases.

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Move definition of the types `eval_method' and `pred_or_func'
	from hlds_pred.m to prog_data.m.
	Add new type `mode_num' to prog_data.m, defined by
	`type mode_num == int', and change the proc_id argument of
	the `unused_args' pragma to instead use this type instead of proc_id.
	Delete the import of module hlds_pred from prog_data.m.

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Move the definition of the type `determinism' from hlds_data.m to
	prog_data.m.  Delete the import of module hlds_data from prog_data.m.

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/purity.m:
	Move the definition of the type `purity' from purity.m to prog_data.m.
	Add import of module prog_data to purity.m.
	Delete the import of module purity from prog_data.m.

	This is needed because purity.m imports hlds*.m and so by
	importing purity.m, prog_data.m was indirectly importing hlds*.m.

	(An possible alternative here would be to split purity.m into two
	parts, called say purity.m and check_purity.m; of these, only the
	second would import hlds*.m.  But that would be a significantly
	more complicated change.)

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/rl.m:
	Move the definition of the `index_spec' and `index_type' types from
	rl.m to prog_data.m.  Delete the import of module rl from prog_data.m.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add new types `pragma_arg_size_info' and `pragma_termination_info'
	to prog_data.m.  These are similar to the existing types
	`arg_size_info' and `termination_info' defined in term_util.m,
	except that they correspond more directly to what is actually
	used in `pragma termination_info' declarations.

compiler/term_util.m:
	Add new predicates `add_context_to_arg_size_info' and
	`add_context_to_pragma_termination_info' for converting
	the prog_data types to their corresponding term_util types.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
compiler/unused_args.m:
	Minor modifications to handle the change in the type of the
	mode number argument in `unused_args' pragmas, and in the types
	of the arg_size_info and termination_info arguments in
	`termination_info' pragmas.

User-guided type specialization.

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
compiler/modules.m:
compiler/module_qual.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Handle `:- pragma type_spec'.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Factor out some common code to parse predicate names with arguments.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Added a field to the module_sub_info to hold information about
	user-requested type specializations, filled in by make_hlds.m
	and not used by anything after higher_order.m.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	For each `:- pragma type_spec' declaration, introduce a new predicate
	which just calls the predicate to be specialized with the
	specified argument types. This forces higher_order.m to produce
	the specialized versions.

compiler/higher_order.m:
	Process the user-requested type specializations first to ensure
	that they get the correct names.
	Allow partial matches against user-specified versions, e.g.
		map__lookup(map(int, list(int)), int, list(int)) matches
		map__lookup(map(int, V), int, V).
	Perform specialization where a typeclass constraint matches a
	known instance, but the construction of the typeclass_info is
	done in the calling module.
	Give slightly more informative progress messages.

compiler/dead_proc_elim.m:
	Remove specializations for dead procedures.

compiler/prog_io_util.m:
	Change the definition of the `maybe1' and `maybe_functor' types
	to avoid the need for copying to convert between `maybe1'
	and `maybe1(generic)'.
	Changed the interface of `make_pred_name_with_context' to allow
	creation of predicate names for type specializations which describe
	the type substitution.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Make the specification of pragma declarations in error
	messages consistent. (There are probably some more to
	be fixed elsewhere for termination and tabling).

compiler/intermod.m:
	Write type specialization pragmas for predicates declared
	in `.opt' files.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Export `mercury_output_item' for use by intermod.m.

compiler/options.m:
	Add an option `--user-guided-type-specialization' enabled
	with `-O2' or higher.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	`--type-specialization' implies `--user-guided-type-specialization'.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add predicates to construct constants. These are duplicated
	in several other places, I'll fix that as a separate change.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Added functions `int_type/0', `string_type/0', `float_type/0'
	and `char_type/0' which return the builtin types.
	These are duplicated in several other places,
	I'll fix that as a separate change.

library/private_builtin.m:
	Added `instance_constraint_from_typeclass_info/3' to extract
	the typeclass_infos for a constraint on an instance declaration.
	This is useful for specializing class method calls.
	Added `thread_safe' to various `:- pragma c_code's.
	Added `:- pragma inline' declarations for `builtin_compare_*', which
	are important for user-guided type specialization. (`builtin_unify_*'
	are simple enough to go in the `.opt' files automatically).

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	`instance_constraint_from_typeclass_info/3' does not need type_infos.
	Add `instance_constraint_from_typeclass_info/3' to the
	list of `typeclass_info_manipulator's which higher_order.m
	can interpret.

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:

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.

Estimated hours taken: 6

Fix various invasions of the user's namespace by `mercury_builtin.m',
by splitting mercury_builtin.m into two modules, called builtin.m and
private_builtin.m, and ensuring that the latter is imported as if
by `:- use_module' rather than `:- import_module'.

library/builtin.m:
library/private_builtin.m:
	Split mercury_builtin.m into two modules, builtin.m,
	which contains stuff intended to be public,
	and private_builtin.m, which contains implementation
	details that are not supposed to be public.

library/mercury_builtin.m:
	Add a comment saying that this module is no longer used, and
	should eventually be removed.  I have not removed it yet, since
	that would prevent bootstrapping with the current compiler.  It
	will be removed as a seperate change later, once all the
	changes have propagated.

compiler/prog_util.m:
	Change the definition of mercury_private_builtin_module/1 and
	mercury_public_builtin_module so that instead of automatically
	importing mercury_builtin.m as if by `import_module', the
	copiler will now automatically import builtin.m as if by

75354e38bb Deforestation.
Estimated hours taken: 400

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/simplify.m
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.

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/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

bf824facde Make Mercury cope with impure code
The purpose of this diff is to allow Mercury programs to contain
impure Mercury code without the compiler changing its behavior
inappropriately, while still allowing the compiler to aggressively
optimize pure code.  To do this, we require impure predicates to be so
declared, and calls to impure predicates to be flagged as such.  We
also allow predicates implemented in terms of impure predicates to be
promised to be pure; lacking such a promise, any predicate that calls
an impure predicate is assumed to be impure.

At the moment, we don't allow impure functions (only predicates),
though some of the work necessary to support them has been done.

Note that to make the operators work properly, the precedence of the
`pred' and `func' operators has been changed from 1199 to 800.

Estimated hours taken: 150

compiler/purity.m:
	New compiler pass for purity checking.

	Add `impure' and `semipure' to the goal_feature enum.
compiler/hlds_out.m:
compiler/typecheck.m:
compiler/special_pred.m:
	Fixed code that prints predicate name to write something more
	helpful for special (compiler-generated) predicates.  Added
	code to print new markers.  Added purity argument to
	mercury_output_pred_type.  New public predicate
	special_pred_description/2 provides an english description for
	each compiler-generated predicate.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:

	it's promised to be pure.

	Distinguish mode errors caused by impure goals preventing

compiler/modes.m:
	Don't delay impure goals, and ensure before scheduling an
	impure goal that no goals are delayed.  Actually, we go ahead
	and try to schedule goals even if impurity causes a problem,
	and then if it still doesn't mode check, then we report an
	ordinary mode error.  Only if the clause would be mode correct
	except for an impure goal do we report it as an impurity problem.
compiler/simplify.m:
	Don't optimize away non-pure duplicate calls.  We could do
	better and still optimize duplicate semipure goals without an
	intervening impure goal, but it's probably not worth the
	trouble.  Also don't eliminate impure goals on a failing branch.

9b7f11c6dd Reorganisation of modules to do with the inst data type.
Estimated hours taken: 20

Reorganisation of modules to do with the inst data type.

This is actually the first installment of the alias tracking mode
checker in disguise.  A very good disguise.  The rationale for
this reorganisation is to reduce coupling in the part of the mode
checker which is _not_ in this change (ie most of it).

Alias tracking requires a new kind of inst, alias(inst_key), where
an inst_key is a handle on some other sub-inst.  With it goes a
data structure in which to store dereferenced insts and all the
operations which go with it.  This code will go in the new module
inst.m so that it doesn't have to go in prog_data.m.  (I briefly
considered putting it in instmap.m however this introduces some
bad coupling since instmap.m imports hlds_module.m.  Putting it
in prog_data.m would cause hlds_*.m to depend on prog_data.m,
but we have designed things so that the dependencies go in the
other direction.)

The remainder of the reorganisation is a general cleanup: the
inst testing predicates (inst_is_*) have been moved out of
mode_util because they are not actually operations on modes at
all, and have been moved into inst_match.  inst_match has then
been split because otherwise it would be 2000 lines long and
will get significantly bigger when aliasing is added.  Roughly
speaking, any operations which create new insts from old ones
have been moved into a new module, inst_util while any operations
which test the values of insts remain in inst_match.

Also included are the removal of some NU-Prologisms since the
NU-Prolog version of the compiler is no longer supported.  Two
changes here:

	- Removal of some when declarations.
	- A gross hack in inst_is_*_2, where two copies of
	  the same inst were passed into the predicate so that
	  one could be switched on.  Thank NU-Prolog's lack of
	  common subexpression elimination.

compiler/inst.m:
	New module which contains the data types inst, uniqueness,
	pred_inst_info, bound_inst.

compiler/inst_util.m:
	New module which contains predicates which perform mode
	checking-like operations on insts.

	Moved in:
		abstractly_unify_inst, abstractly_unify_inst_functor,
		inst_merge, make_mostly_uniq_inst (from inst_match.m)

compiler/inst_match.m:
	Moved out:
		inst_merge, make_mostly_uniq_inst,
		abstractly_unify_inst, abstractly_unify_inst_functor
			(to inst_util.m)

	Moved in:
		inst_is_*, inst_list_is_*, bound_inst_list_is_*
			(from mode_util.m)

	Now exported:
		unique_matches_initial/2, unique_matches_final/2
		inst_contains_instname/3, pred_inst_matches/3
		(They are required by inst_util.m, and they are
		useful in their own right.)

compiler/instmap.m:
	instmap_delta_lookup_var/3 reincarnated as
	instmap_delta_search_var/3.  The reason for this change is
	that previously, instmap_delta_lookup_var simply returned
	`free' if the searched-for var did not occur in the
	instmap_delta.  This is somewhat non-obvious behaviour.
	instmap_delta_search_var/3 fails in such a situation.

compiler/mode_util.m:
	Moved out:
		inst_is_*, inst_list_is_*, bound_inst_list_is_*
			(to inst_match.m)
		(These are not really operations on modes.)

compiler/modecheck_call.m:
	Moved in modecheck_higher_order_func_call/5, from modecheck_unify.m

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
	Moved out modecheck_higher_order_func_call/5, to modecheck_call.m
	where it should have been all along.

	Moved out the types inst, uniqueness, pred_inst_info,

5d9e4158f7 Module qualification of types, insts and modes.
Estimated hours taken: 45

Module qualification of types, insts and modes.

Added a new interface file - <module>.int3. This contains the
short interface qualified as much as possible given the information
in the current module.

When producing the .int and .int2 files for a module, the compiler uses
the information in the .int3 files of modules imported in the interface
to fully module qualify all items. The .int2 file is just a fully
qualified version of the .int3 file. The .int3 file cannot be overwritten
by the fully qualified version in the .int2 file because then mmake would
not be able to tell when the interface files that depend on that .int3
file really need updating.

The --warn-interface-imports option can be used to check whether
a module imported in the interface really needs to be imported in
the interface.


compiler/module_qual.m
Module qualify all types, insts and modes. Also checks for modules
imported in the interface of a module that do not need to be.

compiler/modules.m
The .int file for a module now depends on the .int3 files of imported
modules. Added code to generate the make rule for the .int file in the
.d file. There is now a file .date2 which records the last time the
.int2 file was updated.
The .int3 files are made using the --make-short-interface option
introduced a few weeks ago.

compiler/options.m
Added option --warn-interface-imports to enable warning about interface
imports which need not be in the interface. This is off by default
because a lot of modules in the library import list.m when they only
need the type list, which is defined in mercury_builtin.m.
Removed option --builtin-module, since the mercury_builtin name is wired
into the compiler in a large number of places.

compiler/prog_util.m
Added a predicates construct_qualified_term/3 and construct_qualfied_term/4
which take a sym_name, a list of argument term and a context for the /4
version and give a :/2 term.

compiler/type_util.m
Modified type_to_type_id to handle qualified types. Also added predicates
construct_type/3 and construct_type/4 which take a sym_name and a list of
types and return a type by calling prog_util:construct_qualified_term.

compiler/modes.m
On the first iteration of mode analysis, module qualify the modes of
lambda expressions.

compiler/mode_info.m
Added field to mode_info used to decide whether or not to module qualify
lambda expressions.

compiler/mode_errors.m
Added dummy mode error for when module qualification fails so that mode
analysis will stop.
Added code to strip mercury_builtin qualifiers from error messages to
improve readability.

compiler/typecheck.m
Strip builtin qualifiers from error messages.

compiler/llds.m
compiler/llds_out.m
compiler/opt_util.m
compiler/opt_debug.m
Change the format of labels produced for the predicates to use the
qualified version of the type name.

compiler/mercury_compile.pp
Call module_qual__module_qualify_items and make_short_interface.
Remove references to undef_modes.m and undef_types.m

compiler/undef_modes.m
compiler/undef_types.m
Removed, since their functionality is now in module_qual.m.

compiler/prog_io.m
Changed to qualify the subjects of type, mode and inst declarations.

compiler/*.m
Changes to stop various parts of the compiler from throwing away
module qualifiers.
Qualified various mercury_builtin builtins, e.g. in, out, term etc.
where they are wired in to the compiler.

compiler/hlds_data.m
The mode_table and user_inst_table are now abstract types each
storing the {mode | inst}_id to hlds__{mode | inst}_defn maps
and a list of mode_ids or inst_ids. This was done to improve the
efficiency of module qualifying the modes of lambda expressions
during mode analysis.
module_info_optimize/2 now sorts the lists of ids.
The hlds_module interface to the mode and inst tables has not changed.

compiler/hlds_module.m
Added yet another predicate to search the predicate table.
predicate_table_search_pf_sym_arity searches for predicates or
functions matching the given sym_name, arity and pred_or_func.

compiler/higher_order.m
Changed calls to solutions/2 to list__filter/3. Eliminated unnecessary
requantification of goals.

compiler/unused_args.m
Improved abstraction slightly.

Estimated hours taken: 1

prog_util:
	Add a predicate to rename variables in the kinds of goals we have in
	items. (We already have similar predicates for terms and for
	hlds_goals).

prog_io:
	We used to expand ( p ; q ) in DCG clauses to become
	( p(DCG1, DCG2) ; q(DCG1, DCG3), DCG2 = DCG3 ). These extra
	unifications can pile up rather badly; in the new version of lexer.m,
	two 128-way switches each ended up with 90 unifications in the last
	arm. This is very bad for performance. Instead of adding unifications
	to make sure that both arms of a disjunction put the final stream value
	in the same variable, we now use renaming when possible.

Estimated hours taken: 8

options.m:
	Rename branch_delay_slot to have_delay_slot.
	Set optimize_delay_slot in -O2 only if have_delay_slot was set earlier.
	This is possible now because the default optimization level is now
	set in mc.

mercury_compile:
	Change verbose output a bit to be more consistent.

dead_proc_elim:
	Export the predicates that will eventually be needed by inlining.m.

inlining.m:
	Use the information about the number of times each procedure is called
	to inline local nonrecursive procedures that are called exactly once.
	EXCEPT that this is turned off at the moment, since the inlining of
	parse_dcg_goal_2 in prog_io, which this change enables, causes the
	compiler to emit incorrect code.

prog_io:
	Moved the data type definitions to prog_data. (Even though prog_io.m
	is ten times the size of prog_data.m, the sizes of the .c files are
	not too dissimilar.)

3b36da6e77 Implement functional syntax. You can now use `:- func' in a similar manner
Estimated hours taken: 12

Implement functional syntax.  You can now use `:- func' in a similar manner
to `:- pred'.  For example, `:- func foo(int, int) = int.' declares a function,
and `:- mode foo(in, in) = out.' defines a mode for it.  You can write clauses
for functions, such as `foo(X, Y) = Z :- Z is 2*X + Y.'  Any term in the
head or body of a clause can be a function call, e.g. `bar(X, Y, foo(X, Y))'.

Until we have implemented a proper Mercury debugger, this syntax
should not be used (except that I might reimplement the functions
provided by Prolog's is/2 predicate using this syntax, rather than
the current special-case hack in the parser).

prog_io.m:
	Add syntax for declaring and defining functions.
	Disallow the use of `=' to define modes, as in `:- mode foo = bar.'
	(Instead, you should use `::'.  `==' is also allowed.)
	Also, use higher-order predicates to simplify some of the rather
	repetitious parsing code.

mercury_to_mercury.m, mercury_to_goedel.m, make_hlds.m, modules.m:
	Handle new functional syntax.

typecheck.m:
	Add support for functions, function types such as `func(int) = int',
	and currying.  (But there's currently no equivalent to call/N for
	functions, so function types and currying aren't very useful yet.)

undef_types.m:
	Add support for function types.

modes.m:
	Convert function calls into predicate calls.
	(This must be done after typechecking is complete,
	so I put it in mode analysis.)

hlds.m:
	Add new field `pred_or_func' to the pred_info.

hlds_out.m:
	Print out the `pred_or_func' field.

higher_order.m, unused_args.m, lambda.m, dnf.m:
	Pass extra pred_or_func argument to pred_info_init to specify that
	the thing being created is a predicate, not a function.

constraint.m, dependency_graph.m, hlds_out.m:
	`mercury_output_mode_subdecl' has been renamed
	`mercury_output_pred_mode_subdecl'.

prog_util.m:
	Add new predicate split_type_and_mode/3.

llds.m:
	Print out
		/* code for predicate '*'/3 in mode 0 */
	rather than
		/* code for predicate */3 in mode 0 */
	to avoid a syntax error in the generated C code.

6d7f4b9b30 Undo dylan's changes in the names of some library entities,
Estimated hours taken: 1.5

Undo dylan's changes in the names of some library entities,
by applying the following sed script

	s/term_atom/term__atom/g
	s/term_string/term__string/g
	s/term_integer/term__integer/g
	s/term_float/term__float/g
	s/term_context/term__context/g
	s/term_functor/term__functor/g
	s/term_variable/term__variable/g
	s/_term__/_term_/g
	s/std_util__bool_/bool__/g

to all the `.m' and `.pp' files in the compiler and library directories.
The reason for undoing these changes was to minimize incompatibilities
with 0.4 (and besides, the changes were not a really good idea in the first
place).

I also moved `bool' to a separate module.
The main reason for that change is to ensure that the `__' prefix is
only used when it genuinely represents a module qualifier.
(That's what dylan's changes were trying to acheive, but `term__'
does genuinely represent a module qualifier.)

compiler/*.m:
	Apply sed script above;
	where appropriate, add `bool' to the list of imported modules.

019ee742f8 Break modes.nl up into separate modules.
modes.nl, mode_errors.nl, delay_info.nl, mode_info.nl, undef_modes.nl:
	Break modes.nl up into separate modules.

toplevel.nl (plus LOTS of other files):
	Change the way module imports are handled.  Fix the resulting missing
	import problems found in most of the modules.

mode_util.nl:
	Add predicate inst_is_bound_to_functors/3.

switch_detection.nl:
	New file.  Still very incomplete.

meta.nl:
	Remove.  This file was old junk.

4178752860 Fix bugs in the implicit quantification.
make_hlds.nl:
	Fix bugs in the implicit quantification.

Makefile, doit.nl:
	Add stack.nl.

det_analysis.nl:
	Fix minor bug in the error message.

interpreter.nl:
	Print out the answers to the query.

mercury_to_mercury:
	Added mercury_output_hlds_goal.
	Also export mercury_output_vars.

modes.nl:
	Handle reordering of conjunctions.
	Handle variable locking in all cases.
	(Complete, but probably needs some bug fixes.)

prog_util.nl:
	Fix another goddamned bug in the type-checker - I thought
	we'd killed the last of those!  This one was a problem
	in the expansion of equivalence types - failed for map(map(...)).
