40bda1e4a0 Fix a bug in inst_merge when merging a ground inst with a bound inst
Estimated hours taken: 8
Branches: main

Fix a bug in inst_merge when merging a ground inst with a bound inst
containing 'any' insts.  Previously,

	inst_merge(ground, bound(f(..., any, ...)))

would return a result of 'any' which is not as accurate as we would
like (e.g. this problem occurs often in Mercury code generated by the
HAL compiler).  To improve this, we pass the type of the variable
being merged to inst_merge and when this situation arises we expand
'ground' to 'bound(<functors of type>)' and use this inst in the
merge.

An alternative to passing the types through inst_merge would be to
reinstate the use of 'typed_inst' and 'typed_ground' which are created
by (currently commented out) code in 'propagate_types_into_insts'.
However, this has previously been found to cause performance problems
since it greatly expands the size of all insts and instmaps in the
program.  The approach used here is the same as that adopted for
inst_matches_{initial,final} some time ago, where it does not appear
to have a noticeable performance impact on typical programs.

compiler/inst_util.m:
	Pass types through inst_merge and implement the changes to
	inst_merge(ground, bound(...)) described above.

compiler/inst_match.m:
compiler/instmap.m:
compiler/mode_util.m:
compiler/simplify.m:
	Pass types to calls to inst_merge.

compiler/inst_match.m:
compiler/type_util.m:
	Move 'maybe_get_cons_id_arg_types' and
	'maybe_get_higher_order_arg_types' from inst_match.m to
	type_util.m and export them.

compiler/mode_util.m:
	Export 'constructors_to_bound_insts'.

tests/invalid/merge_ground_any.m:
	Add a test to make sure the ground inst is expanded out to the
	full set of functors for the type.

ad0aa5b60e Allow user-defined types with a single constructor `{}/1'
Estimated hours taken: 1
Branches: main

compiler/type_util.m:
	Allow user-defined types with a single constructor `{}/1'
	to be treated as no-tag types. Unary tuples aren't treated
	as no-tag types because it would significantly complicate
	the implementation.

	Use more descriptive variable names.

	Simplify some code using std_util__map_maybe.

f21676c3a6 When testing for type_info types, check that the type is in
Estimated hours taken: 0.5
Branches: main

compiler/type_util.m:
	When testing for type_info types, check that the type is in
	the 'private_builtin' module.  This allows user-defined types
	to use the names 'type_info', 'type_ctor_info', etc.

	This change is required to allow the new module
	rtti_implementation.m to compile in reserved_tag grades.  The
	compiler was assuming that the types in this module were the
	builtin type_info types and was not using the reserved_tag
	representation for them.

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().

Estimated hours taken: 0.5
Branches: main, dotnet-foreign

Add arity when outputting types.  This lets us distinguish types that
have the same name but different arity, which is a bit of a problem in
high-level data grades.

Also add a minor fix for mapping Mercury arrays into System.Array.

compiler/mlds_to_il.m:
	Append _arity to the type name.
	Translate arrays into System.Array.
	Re-use a little duplicated code.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Add type_id_is_array for detecting arrays.

19ceeaf30f Merge the changes from the HAL branch onto the main branch.
Estimated hours taken: 40
                       (to do this merge... 100s of hours on the HAL branch
		        itself by myself and Warwick Harvey though).

Merge the changes from the HAL branch onto the main branch. With the recent
changes made to the HAL implementation, this means adding just one grade,
`.rt' or --reserve-tag, which reserves one tag (zero) in each type for
use by HAL's Herbrand constraint solver. This disables no-tag types and
enumerations.

This grade will now bootstrap, and passes all tests, except for a few failing
cases in the debugger and tabling directories.

compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
	Add the `.rt' or --reserve-tag grade option.
runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
	Document the macro MR_RESERVE_TAG
doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document the `.rt' grade.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Don't record any types as no-tag types if we are in a .rt grade.
compiler/make_tags.m:
compiler/type_ctor_info.m:
	Allocate tags starting from `1' in .rt grades.
compiler/rtti_out.m:
	In .rt grades, output a dummy ptag definition for tag `0'.
compiler/type_util.m:
	Add predicates `type_util__constructors_are_dummy_argument_type' and
	`type_constructors_are_type_info' for use when allocating tags to
	ensure that type infos and dummy types (io__state/0 and store__store/1)
	are still treated as no-tag types in .rt grades.

library/sparse_bitset.m:
	When allocating a sparse bitset element, use tag `1' if we are in a
	.rt grade.

runtime/mercury_tags.h:
	Define a macro `MR_UNIV_TAG' which is `1' is we in a .rt grade and
	`0' otherwise. (Now that univ is a user defined type, it is a also
	assigned a `var' tag).
	Also make the definitions of MR_RAW_TAG_NIL and MR_RAW_TAG_CONS take the
	.rt grade into account.
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Define `MR_unravel_univ' and
	`MR_initialise_univ' for taking apart and putting together univs.

	Add a new secondary tag alternative: MR_SECTAG_VARIABLE, used to
	represent Herbrand variables.

library/std_util.m:
	Use MR_UNIV_TAG, MR_unravel_univ and MR_initialise_univ when
	manipulating univs.

	Handle the new MR_SECTAG_VARIABLE secondary tag by aborting.

runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h:
runtime/mercury_tabling.c:
runtime/mercury_unify_compare_body.h:
	Handle the new MR_SECTAG_VARIABLE secondary tag by aborting.

library/std_util.m:
	Add a constant for MR_SECTAG_VARIABLE in the MC++ back end.

scripts/canonical_grade.sh-subr:
scripts/init_grade_options.sh-subr:
scripts/mgnuc.in:
scripts/parse_grade_options.sh-subr:
	Process the new grade.

scripts/mmake.in:
	Add an option `--include-makefile', which includes a Makefile given
	as a command line argument into the Makefile generated by mmake.
	This is used to implement `halmake', a make program for HAL which
	just passes a bunch of extra rules and variable definitions onto
	mmake.

tests/hard_coded/existential_types_test.m:
trace/mercury_trace_declarative.c:
trace/mercury_trace_external.c:

TODO:
	- The declarative debugger falls over in .rt grades. This is possibly
	  because compiler/static_term.m assumes that the generated code uses
	  the same data representation as the compiler itself. This should be
	  fixed, although it is not critical; the declarative debugger won't
	  work with trailing as is, and the .rt grade is only ever used in
	  conjunction with trailing (.tr) at this stage.

Estimated hours taken: 8

In mdb's print and browse commands, allow the field to be printed to be
specified by name as well as by number. This required extending the RTTI
for notag types to record field names.

trace/mercury_trace_vars.m:
	Allow the field to be printed to be specified by name as well as by
	number.

library/std_util.m:
	Add code to find out whether a term has a field with a given name,
	and if yes, which field that is. At the moment, this functionality
	is accessible only from C. (There is no point to adding to the
	user-visible interface before a redesign of that interface.)

	Fix an old bug: ML_arg() was not compensating for the extra type_info
	and/or typeclass_info arguments inserted at the start of a cell for
	functors with existentially typed arguments. Document the ML_expand
	data structure better to make that bug less likely in the future.

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Add an extra field to the type for notag type functors, recording
	the field name of the argument, if it has one.

compiler/rtti.m:
	Add a maybe-argument-name field to the record for notag types.

compiler/type_ctor_info.m:
	Record the name of the single argument of the single functor of a
	notag type, if it has one.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Make that argument name available.

compiler/rtti_out.m:
	Print out that argument name.

compiler/make_tags.m:
compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/rtti_to_mlds.m:
	Ignore that argument name.

tests/debugger/field_names.{m,inp,exp}:

	numbers and/or names.

	Enable the new test case.

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:

	Remove the vartypes field from the simplify_info since it is
	now in the det_info.
	Use record syntax for these data structures and their access predicates
	to make future changes easier.

compiler/mode_util.m:
	Make sure that recompute_instmap_delta recomputes the
	instmap_deltas for lambda_goals even when RecomputeAtomic = no.

compiler/type_util.m:

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

46a8da81cb Implement builtin tuple types, similar to those in Haskell.
Estimated hours taken: 30

Implement builtin tuple types, similar to those in Haskell.

Tuples are constructed and deconstructed using
the syntax X = {Arg1, Arg2, ...}.
Tuples have type `{Arg1, Arg2, ...}'.

Unary tuples (X = {Arg}) do work, unlike in Haskell. The rationale
for this is that it is useful to be able to construct unary tuples
to be passed to a polymorphic predicate which uses std_util__deconstruct
to deal with a tuple of any arity. Since this is probably the only
use for unary tuples, it's not really worth the effort of treating
them as no_tag types, so we don't.

The type-infos for tuples have the same structure as for higher-order
types. There is a single type_ctor_info for tuples, and the arity
is placed before the argument type_infos.

library/parser.m:
	Change the way '{}/N' terms are parsed, so that the parsed
	representation is consistent with the way other functors
	are represented (previously the arguments were left as
	unparsed ','/2 terms). This avoids special case code
	in prog_io__parse_qualified_term, term__term_to_type
	and term__type_to_term.

compiler/prog_io_dcg.m:
compiler/prog_io_util.m:
	Handle the new structure of '{}/N' terms when parsing DCG escapes
	by converting the argument list back into a single ','/2 term.

compiler/module_qual.m:
	Treat tuples as a builtin type.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Typecheck tuple constructors.

compiler/mode_util.m:
	Propagate types into tuple bound insts.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Add type_is_tuple/2 and type_id_is_tuple/1 to identify tuple types.
	Add tuples to the list of types which are not atomic types.

	Handle tuple types in `type_constructors' and
	`get_cons_id_arg_types' and `switch_type_num_functors'.

compiler/tabling.m:
	Handle tabling of tuples.

compiler/term_util.m:
	Handle tuples in the code to compute functor norms.

compiler/magic_util.m:
compiler/rl.m:
compiler/rl_key.m:
	Handle tuple types in the Aditi back end.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
library/io.m:
library/term_io.m:
	Handle output of '{}/N' terms.

compiler/higher_order.m:
compiler/simplify.m:
	Don't specialize complicated unifications of tuple
	types into calls to a specific unification procedure --
	even if the procedure were implemented, it probably
	wouldn't be that much more efficient.

compiler/unify_proc.m:
	Generate unification procedures for complicated unifications
	of tuples (other than in-in unifications). These are generated
	lazily as required.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Export add_special_pred for use by unify_proc.m.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Export polymorphism__process_pred for use by unify_proc.m.

compiler/bytecode_gen.m:
compiler/code_util.m:
compiler/ml_code_util.m:

compiler/mlds_to_c.m:
	Output tuple types as MR_Tuple.

	Add tuple types to switches on type_util__builtin_type.

compiler/llds_out.m:
util/mdemangle.c:
profiler/demangle.m:
	Transform items named "{}" to "f_tuple" when mangling symbols.

library/builtin.m:
	Define the type_ctor_info used for tuples.

library/private_builtin.m:
	Add `builtin_unify_tuple/2' and `builtin_compare_tuple/3',
	both of which abort. All comparisons and in-in unifications
	of tuples are performed by the generic unification functions
	in runtime/mercury_ho_call.c and runtime/mercury.c.

library/std_util.m:
	Implement the various RTTI functions for tuples.

	Encode tuple `TypeCtorDesc's in a similar way to that
	used for higher-order types. This has the consequence that the limit
	on the arity of higher-order types is now MAX_VIRTUAL_REG,
	rather than 2*MAX_VIRTUAL_REG.

	Avoid calling MR_GC_free for the type-info vector returned
	from ML_expand() for tuples because unlike the vectors
	for du types, it is not copied.

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Add macros for extracting fields from tuple type-infos.
	These just call the macros for extracting fields from higher-order
	type-infos.

	Add a macro MR_type_ctor_rep_is_variable_arity(), which
	returns TRUE for tuples and higher-order types.

	The distinction between higher-order and first-order types
	is now misnamed -- the distinction is really between fixed arity
	types and builtin variable arity types. I'm not sure whether
	it's worth renaming everything.

runtime/mercury.h:
runtime/mercury.c:
	Define unification and comparison of tuples in
	high-level code grades.

runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h:
runtime/mercury_make_type_info_body.h:

	Handle tuple types in code which traverses data using RTTI.

Estimated hours taken: 10

Generate declarations and clauses for the compiler-generated
unification and comparison procedures only when they are needed.
The vast majority of these procedures are never used.
This change speeds up `mmc -C make_hlds' by about 5%.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Export add_special_pred_for_real and add_special_pred_decl_for_real
	for use by unify_proc.m.

	Don't generate declarations or clauses for unification or
	comparison predicates for imported types immediately
	unless the predicate needs to be typechecked.

	Don't generate clauses for comparison predicates for
	imported types -- they will never be used because the
	predicate has import_status `imported'.

compiler/special_pred.m:
compiler/typecheck.m:
	Add predicate special_pred_for_type_needs_typecheck,
	which succeeds for types with user-defined equality
	and types with existentially typed constructors.

compiler/unify_proc.m:
	Make sure the declarations and clauses for the unification
	predicate for a type have been generated before processing a
	unify_request for that type.

	Add predicates for use by higher_order.m to force generation
	of a special predicate when required for specialization
	of a call to unify/2 or compare/3.

	Simplify the code for unification predicates for enumeration
	types. The code that was being generated cast the arguments
	to int, then called unify/2 on the ints. The simpler version
	just creates a unify goal. Enumerations are atomic types, so
	modecheck_unify.m will treat the unification as a simple_test.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Add a predicate polymorphism__process_generated_pred to
	be used by unify_proc.m to process the bodies of the
	generated unification predicates.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	Add versions of post_typecheck__finish_pred and
	post_typecheck__finish_imported_pred which don't require
	an io__state, for use by unify_proc.m. Errors should never
	be reported in post_typecheck.m for unification or
	comparison predicates.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Don't generate calls to the type-specific predicate
	for an in-in complicated unification if the predicate is
	generated lazily. higher_order.m will handle the
	specialization in that case.

compiler/higher_order.m:
	Call unify_proc.m to generate the declarations for a
	special pred when there is a call to that special pred
	which could be specialized.

	Add field labels to the higher_order_info type.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Add predicates type_id_is_atomic and classify_type_id,
	which are similar to type_is_atomic and classify_type,
	for use by special_pred.m.

Estimated hours taken: 40

Add a new optimization, enabled by the option --unneeded-code. This
optimization removes goals whose outputs are not used at all, and moves goals
whose outputs are only used on some computation branches to the starts of
those branches, so they do not need to be executed on other branches.

Such deletions/movements are done only when the semantic switches and the
properties of the relevant goal together permit it.

compiler/unneeded_code.m:
	A new module to perform the goal rearrangement.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	The new optimization needs to know how many functors the switched-on
	variable can be bound to, so it can check whether a given number of
	switch arms covers all alternatives or not. To make access to this
	information convenient, we add a field to the goal_path_step
	alternative for switch arm entry that records this number.

compiler/goal_path.m:
	Fill in this number.

	To make this possible, we thread the necessary information through the
	predicates in this module.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Add a utility predicate type_util__switch_type_num_functors, for use
	by the new code in goal_path.m.

compiler/switch_detection.m:
	Avoid duplicated code by using type_util__switch_type_num_functors
	where relevant.

compiler/code_aux.m:
	Add three new auxiliary predicate, code_aux__goal_cannot_loop_or_throw,
	code_aux__goal_can_loop_or_throw and code_aux__goal_can_loop, to the
	existing code_aux__goal_cannot_loop. code_aux__goal_cannot_loop
	now checks only what its name says.

compiler/trace.m:
	Ignore the new field when generating goal paths strings.

957c54c0b2 My previous bug fix for overloading resolution of field access functions
Estimated hours taken: 1

My previous bug fix for overloading resolution of field access functions
and constructors didn't work for existentially typed constructors.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	When checking whether a constructor matches a cons_id
	and argument types, make sure the actual argument types
	don't bind any of the existentially quantified type
	variables of the constructor.

compiler/typecheck.m:
compiler/type_util.m:
	Factor out the code to check whether the argument types
	of a call subsume the actual argument types into
	a new predicate, `type_util__arg_type_list_subsumes'.

Estimated hours taken: 10

Make an addition to the type class info structure; add type infos for
any type variables from the head of the instance declaration which are
unconstrained, and make the class method call mechanism insert these as
arguments to method calls. The implementations of methods expect to be passed
a type info for each unconstrained type variable and a type class info for
each constraint. Previously we were not passing the appropriate type infos.

Also move the documentation about the type class transformation from
polymorphism.m to a new file, compiler/notes/type_class_transformation.html.

compiler/base_typeclass_info.m:
        Generate the appropriate part of the new structure in the
        base_typeclass_info.
compiler/polymorphism.m:
        Add the appropriate type infos to the typeclass_info.
compiler/type_util.m:
        Add a new predicate `get_unconstrained_tvars'.
runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h:
        Update copy_typeclass_info to reflect the new structure.
runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
        Copy the extra type infos to the beginning of the arguments when
        doing a class method call.
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
        Update the macros used to access the type class info.

compiler/notes/type_class_transformation.html:
        The documentation about the type class transformation has been
        moved from polymorphism.m to here. This change corrects that
        documentation in several places and updates that documentation to
        reflect the changes to the typeclass_info structure from this diff.

Remove type_id_is_hand_defined, because it makes bootstrapping hard. Instead,
consider that a type is hand defined if it is abstract even in the module
that defines it, or if it appears on a short list of types which have
hand-defined RTTI even though they have (incorrect) Mercury definitions
as well. The list contains private_builtin's type_info, type_ctor_info,

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.
	Use a `maybe' type rather than an empty string to designate

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Define data structures to hold information about
	the field names visible in a module.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Add a field to type module_info to hold information
	about the fields visible in a module.

	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
	error messages.

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

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
library/ops.m:
	Reduce precedence of `^/2' for use as a field name separator.

	Add operator `^'/1 to designate which side of the `:=' is

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

Estimated hours taken: 2

compiler/simplify.m:
	Remove unnecessary explicit quantification goals before working
	out whether a goal can cause a stack flush.

	Don't increase the non-locals set of an explicit quantification
	goal through common structure elimination because that could change
	the determinism.

	Don't optimize a singleton switch into a test followed
	by the case goal if the constructor being tested against
	is existentially quantified. This is necessary because
	the code to produce the test uses type_util__get_cons_id_arg_types,
	which does not correctly handle the existentially quantified
	type variables or the type-infos for those type variables.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Add type_util__is_existq_cons, which succeeds if a constructor
	is existentially typed.

	type_util__get_cons_id_arg_types now aborts if the cons_id
	is existentially typed rather than silently giving wrong answers.

Estimated hours taken: 12

Fix a bug with switches on existential types.  This bug meant that
existential types with two or more functors did not work at all,
due to internal compiler errors when compiling the unification and
comparison predicates for those types.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Add new function cons_id_adjusted_arity, which computes the
	arity _including_ the extra typeinfo and typeclassinfo
	arguments inserted for existential data types.

compiler/type_util.m:
compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Move the predicates constraint_list_get_tvars
	and constraint_get_tvars from polymorphism.m into
	type_util.m, for use in cons_id_adjusted_arity.

compiler/modes.m:
compiler/unique_modes.m:
	When modechecking the functor test in switch statements,
	use cons_id_adjusted_arity to compute the arity of the inst,

compiler/instmap.m:
	In instmap__bind_var_to_functor (and the instmap_delta version),
	use cons_id_adjusted_arity to compute the arity of the inst.

	Pass the type(s) down to recompute_instmap_delta and
	instmap__bind_var_to_functor, since cons_id_adjusted_arity
	needs to know the type.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Add a `vartypes' typedef, defined by `:- type vartypes == map(prog_var, type)',
	and make use of it.  Rename the `vartypes' type in hlds_out as `maybe_vartypes'.

Estimated hours taken: 50

Remove the limitation of user-guided type specialization that
the replacement types must be ground.

compiler/higher_order.m:
	Only add extra type-infos, not typeclass-infos when
	--typeinfo-liveness is set, extracting type-infos from
	typeclass-infos where necessary. The arguments of the
	specialized version are now independent of the class context
	of the requesting procedure, which maximises the chance of multiple
	specialized calls to the same procedure being able to use the
	same code. The code to specialize calls is now slightly simpler
	because it does not have to work out how to order extra
	typeclass-info arguments.

	Specialize special preds for no-tag types where the
	wrapped type is an atomic type and the no-tag type does not
	have a user-defined equality pred. This will be useful
	for specializations involving type `term__var/1'.

	Make sure the proc_infos for specialized procedures are
	valid before reanalyzing the goals requesting the
	specializations.

	Rework the handling of branched goals to ensure that pred_infos
	and proc_infos are single threaded through branched goals - when
	higher_order.m was first written they were constant.

	Always go over all procedures for every predicate to make
	sure unifications are specialized in all procedures.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Check for type variables substituted multiple times
	or occurring on both sides of the substitution.

	Adjust the arity for specializations of functions.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Make sure the vartypes field for imported procedures is valid
	by copying it from the clauses_info to the proc_info.

compiler/table_gen.m:

	automatically generated unification procedures for imported types.

library/varset.m:
	Add predicates `varset__merge_without_names' and
	`varset__merge_subst_without_names'.

compiler/equiv_type.m:
	Use the new predicates in varset.m to avoid adding the variable
	names from the declarations of equivalence types into the tvarsets
	of declarations which use those types. This is needed so that
	`varset__create_name_var_map' (used by make_hlds.m for
	`:- pragma type_spec' declarations and explicit type qualifications)
	is not confused by multiple occurrences of a variable name.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Remove documentation of the limitation that the substituted types
	must be ground.

tests/hard_coded/type_spec.m:
tests/hard_coded/type_spec.err_exp:

Fix a bug that was causing the compiler to fail the debugger
tests with an unknown layout error.  std_util:type_info/0 needs
to be defined by hand so we can tell the RTTI system that it is
a type_info.

This change breaks bootstrapping with earlier compilers.
Use the CVS tag bootstrap_19990719_handdefine_typeinfo to
bootstrap this change.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Add std_util:type_info/0 to the hand defined types.
	This is different to private_builtin:type_info/1 which
	was already there.  It was type_info/0 that the debugger
	was failing on.

library/builtin.m:
	Move the type_ctor_info for c_pointer back into this module.
	It should have finished bootstrapping by now.

library/std_util.m:
	Define type_ctor_info as (abstractly) equivalent to a type_info
	instead of equivalent to a c_pointer.  This will allow this type
	to be handled by the garbage collector or debugger.

runtime/mercury_bootstrap.c:
	Move the RTTI info for c_pointer out of this module.
	Add the type_ctor_info for type_info/0 as it is now a hand
	defined type.

	Fix expected test results not that type_ctor_info is equivalent
	to type_info/0.

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/modes.m:
compiler/unique_modes.m:
compiler/modecheck_call.m:
	Modecheck Aditi builtins.

compiler/lambda.m:
	Handle the markers for predicates introduced for
	`aditi_top_down' and `aditi_bottom_up' lambda expressions.

8c97633e71 Allow construction unifications for existentially typed functors,
Estimated hours taken: 6

Allow construction unifications for existentially typed functors,
using the syntax "X = 'new foo'(Y)" rather than the usual "X = foo(Y)".
We need to use a special syntax for exisentially typed constructions
because type analysis and polymorphism need to know which occurrences
of existentially typed functors are constructors and which are deconstructors.

Note that we still don't yet support RTTI for existentially typed data types.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	For existentially typed functors, allow the functor to have
	a "new " prefix, and if so, make the quantifiers and constraints
	universal rather than existential.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	For unifications with existentially typed functors,
	check for a "new " prefix on the functor.
	If the functor has such a prefix, strip off the prefix,
	and treat the unification as a construction rather than
	treating it as a deconstruction.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Define a new predicate `remove_new_prefix', for use by typecheck.m
	and polymorphism.m.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
	For construction unifications, check that all the type_info
	and typeclass_info arguments introduced by polymorphism.m
	are ground.

tests/hard_coded/typeclasses/existential_data_types.m:
	Change the test case to use this new feature,
	rather than hacking it using the C interface.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Document the new features.

ec86c88404 Merge in the changes from the existential_types_2 branch.
Estimated hours taken: 4

Merge in the changes from the existential_types_2 branch.

This change adds support for mode re-ordering of code involving
existential types.  The change required modifying the order of the
compiler passes so that polymorphism comes before mode analysis,
so that mode analysis can check the modes of the `type_info' or
`typeclass_info' variables that polymorphism introduces, so that
it can thus re-order the code accordingly.

This change also includes some more steps towards making existential data
types work.  In particular, you should be able to declare existentially
typed data types, the compiler will generate appropriate unification
and compare/3 routines for them, and deconstruction unifications for them
should work OK.  However, currently there's no way to construct them
except via `pragam c_code', and we don't generate correct RTTI for them,
so you can't use `io__write' etc. on them.

354ba90db6 Making changes to type_ctor_infos for the builtin types array and univ
Estimated hours taken: 2

Making changes to type_ctor_infos for the builtin types array and univ
is much easier if we can simply change their type_ctor_info by hand
rather than detecting them as simple cases.  They already have their
type_ctor_functors and layouts defined by hand anyway.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Turn off the generation of type_ctor_info for the types array:array
	and std_util:univ.

runtime/mercury_bootstrap.c:
	Put type_ctor_infos for these types into the bootstrapping file.
	They are not needed (or wanted) for stage 1, but needed for stage 2.
	We rename the functors and layouts slightly so that the stage 2
	linking doesn't have them multiply defined.

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.

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/prog_out.m:
	Generalised the code to output a module list to write any list.

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

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Call magic.m and rl_gen.m.
	Don't perform the low-level annotation passes on Aditi procedures.
	Remove calls to constraint.m - sometime soon a rewritten version
	will be called directly from deforestation.

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.

	in the `.c' file.

compiler/term_errors.m:
compiler/error_util.m:
	Move code to describe predicates into error_util.m
	Allow the caller to explicitly add line breaks.
	Added error_util:list_to_pieces to format a list of

	Reordered some arguments for currying.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Don't try to print clauses if there are none.

runtime/mercury_init.h:
util/mkinit.c:
scripts/c2init.in:
	Added a function `mercury__load_aditi_rl_code()' to the generated
	`<module>_init.c' file which throws all the RL code for the program

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.

	kinds of var/varset.

f05dc52d86 Fix a bug in the renaming of tvars in type class constraint proofs, and
Estimated hours taken: 20

Fix a bug in the renaming of tvars in type class constraint proofs, and
generally clean up the handling of variable renaming in polymorphism.m.

Change the representation of constraint_proofs to only hold the number of an
instance declaration and not the hlds_instance_defn itself. This means that
polymorphism must look up the instance table to get at hlds_instance_defn,
then calculate the appropriate renamings and substitutions. The rationale
behind this is that the proofs for the superclasses, stored in the
hlds_instance_defn, also need to be renamed. However, we can't just rename
them during typecheck.m because they may not contain proofs for *all* their
ancestors --- that would require topologically sorting the instance defns
before check_typeclass.m.

Also delete the code which attempts to specialise class method calls because
Simon's recent change does this anyway.

hlds_data.m:
        Change the constraint_proof representation to only hold instance
        numbers, not definitions.
polymorphism.m:
        When applying an instance decl, look it up in the instance table
        rather than trying to use the half-renamed one in the proof.

        Also, rather than trying to pass down a renaming substution into
        polymorphism__make_typeclass_info_var, rename everything before
        calling it.
type_util.m:
        Add two new predicates: apply_subst_to_constraint_proofs and
        apply_rec_subst_to_constraint_proofs.
typecheck.m:
        Only store the instance number in the proof.

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.

----------

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/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/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'.

Get rid of unnecessary type variables when creating the auxiliary predicate
for an instance method.  This will hopefully be a little more robust than
the current approach since typecheck.m is now able to get rid of any unused
tvars...  they *must* have been introduced by type inference.

        Add a predicate varset__squash which gets rid of unused variables.

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
	`import_module' and private_builtin.m as if by `use_module'.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Change a call to mercury_private_builtin_module/1 for
	unsafe_promise_unique to instead call mercury_public_builtin_module/1.

c273ecdbcc A re-work of check_typeclass.m. Now, rather than the ad-hoc approach of
Estimated hours taken: 25

A re-work of check_typeclass.m. Now, rather than the ad-hoc approach of
checking each method of each instance declaration for *exact* type and mode
correctness, we generate a new predicate that gets inserted into the HLDS.
This predicate is checked for type, mode, uniqueness and determinism
correctness in the appropriate compiler pass.

As a consequence, the check_typeclass pass now has to come before typecheck.m.
Previously, it was the final semantic analysis pass because it had to use
type, mode, uniqueness and determinism information. The new approach does not
need that information to be available.

This has the following user-visible improvements:
	- constraints on class methods are now checked properly. An
	  instance's implementation of a method may be less constrained.
	  (Previously, these constraints weren't even checked at all. Oops).
	- a method implementation may be more polymorphic than expected
	- implied modes will be used for methods if necessary

This is a much more robust approach (and it co-incides with the typeclass
paper ;-) ).

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	Introduce the auxiliary predicate for the instance method. As an
	optimisation, do not introduce the predicate if the implementation
	given is an *exact* match (in terms of types, modes and determinism).
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Put the check_typeclass pass before typechecking.
compiler/type_util.m:
	Change type_list_matches_exactly to
	type_and_constraint_list_matches_exactly since check_typeclass is
	also responsible for checking constraints on method implementations.
	(This is only used in the optimisation mentioned above).

compiler/prog_io_typeclass.m:
	Ensure that constraints on type class declarations must be "simple".
	This is needed the ensure termination of type checking.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
compiler/prog_io_typeclass.m:
	Enforce the above-mentioned invariant.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Allow the declared constraints to be a superset of the
	inferred constraints.
	When performing context reduction, eliminate declared
	constraints at each step rather than only at the end.
	Remove declared constraints and apply superclass rules
	before applying instance rules.
	When applying instance rules, make sure that it is a type
	error if there is no matching instance rule for a ground
	constraint.
	If context reduction results in an error, restore the
	original type assign set, to avoid repeating the same
	error message at every subsequent call to perform_context_reduction.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	Change the way we superclass conformance for instance declarations

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.

	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:
tests/hard_coded/parent2.exp:
	Two simple tests case for the use of nested modules with
	separate compilation.
