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:
compiler/make_hlds.m:
	When calling pred_table_insert/5, get the partial_qualifier_info
	from the HLDS and pass it as an extra argument.

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

Aditi update syntax, type and mode checking.

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

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

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

	Add a `lambda_eval_method' field to lambda_goals.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	Add `aditi_top_down' to the type `marker'.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Parse Aditi updates.

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

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

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Typecheck Aditi builtins.

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

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

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

compiler/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.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Add extra type_infos to `aditi_insert' calls
	describing the tuple to insert.

compiler/call_gen.m:
	Generate code for Aditi builtins.

compiler/unify_gen.m:
compiler/bytecode_gen.m:
	Abort on `aditi_top_down' and `aditi_bottom_up' lambda
	expressions - code generation for them is not yet implemented.

compiler/magic.m:
	Use the `aditi_call' generic_call rather than create
	a new procedure for each Aditi predicate called from C.

compiler/rl_out.pp:
compiler/rl_gen.m:
compiler/rl.m:
	Move some utility code used by magic.m and call_gen.m into rl.m.

	Remove an XXX comment about reference counting being not yet
	implemented - Evan has fixed that.

library/ops.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
doc/transition_guide.texi:
	Add unary prefix operators `aditi_bottom_up' and `aditi_top_down',
	used as qualifiers on lambda expressions.
	Add infix operator `==>' to separate the tuples in an
	`aditi_modify' call.

compiler/follow_vars.m:
	Thread a `map(prog_var, type)' through, needed because
	type information is no longer held in higher-order call goals.

compiler/table_gen.m:
	Use the `make_*_construction' predicates in hlds_goal.m
	to construct constants.

compiler/*.m:
	Trivial changes to add extra fields to hlds_goal structures.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Document Aditi updates.

	Use @samp{pragma base_relation} instead of
	@samp{:- pragma base_relation} throughout the Aditi documentation
	to be consistent with other parts of the reference manual.

tests/valid/aditi_update.m:
tests/valid/aditi.m:
	Test case.

tests/valid/Mmakefile:
	Remove some hard-coded --intermodule-optimization rules which are
	no longer needed because `mmake depend' is now run in this directory.

tests/invalid/*.err_exp:
	Fix expected output for changes in reporting of call_ids
	in typecheck.m.

tests/invalid/Mmakefile
tests/invalid/aditi_update_errors.{m,err_exp}:

	Test error messages for Aditi updates.

tests/valid/aditi.m:
tests/invalid/aditi.m:
	Cut down version of extras/aditi/aditi.m to provide basic declarations
	for Aditi compilation such as `aditi__state' and the modes
	`aditi_di', `aditi_uo' and `aditi_ui'. Installing extras/aditi/aditi.m
	somewhere would remove the need for these.

0705c72cf0 Fix some of the bugs with the handling of partial qualifiers
Estimated hours taken: 4

Fix some of the bugs with the handling of partial qualifiers
for nested modules.  With this change, we now handle partial
qualifiers correctly for types, insts, modes, and type classes,
which are handled by module_qual.m.  We still don't get it quite
right for constructors, functions, and predicates, for which
module qualification is handled by other modules (make_hlds.m,
hlds_module.m, typecheck.m, post_typecheck.m, and modecheck_unify.m).

compiler/module_qual.m:
	Keep track of which modules are visible.
	When looking up a qualified symbol, check that the specified module
	is visible.

79dcbbef15 User-guided type specialization.
Estimated hours taken: 60

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.

NEWS:
doc/reference_manual.texi:
doc/user_guide.texi
	Document the new pragma and option.

tests/invalid/Mmakefile:

18430aaef1 Aditi compilation.
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.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Write the RL code for the module as a constant char array
	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
	strings.
	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
	at the database. This should be called at connection time by
	`aditi__connect'.
	Added an option `--aditi' which controls the output
	`mercury__load_aditi_rl_code()'.

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

Mmakefile:
bindist/Mmakefile:
	Don't distribute extras/aditi yet.

New files:

compiler/magic.m:
compiler/magic_util.m:
	Supplementary magic sets transformation. Report errors
	for constructs that Aditi can't handle.

compiler/context.m:

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

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

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

NEWS:
	Mention the changes to the standard library.

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

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

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

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

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

ecb6edb717 Fix a bug with intermodule optimization of nested modules.
Estimated hours taken: 20

Fix a bug with intermodule optimization of nested modules.

Previously, the compiler used to just label any
predicates defined in a module containing sub-modules
as `exported', since they may be needed by the separately-compiled
sub-modules.  However, this is a little bit of a lie,
and it turns out that it doesn't work.  The fix is
to use a new status `exported_to_submodules' for this case.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add a new pseudo-declaration ":- private_interface",
	used to mark items in an ":- implementation" section
	that will be exported to submodules.

compiler/modules.m:
	Put declarations from modules containing sub-modules into
	`private_interface' sections rather than into `interface' sections.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add a new alternative `exported_to_submodules' to the
	`import_status' data type.  Add several new procedures
	for testing particular aspects of this type.

compiler/module_qual.m:
	Set the import_status of items in a `private_interface'
	section to `exported_to_submodules'.

compiler/intermod.m:
	Handle procedures with status `exported_to_submodules'
	specially.  Also reorganize the code here a bit to make
	it more maintainable.

7d0e4822d1 Fix several bugs in the runtime engine to do with thread-safe execution.
Estimated hours taken: 15

Fix several bugs in the runtime engine to do with thread-safe execution.

Add a new flag to pragma c_code/import to allow programmers to specify
whether or not the C code is thread-safe or not, and modify code generation
to put a lock around C code that isn't thread_safe.

runtime/mercury_thread.{c,h}:
	Add a global lock.
	Change the handling of thread creation. create_thread now takes
	a "closure" (a C struct with a fn pointer and an argument to pass
	the function) which it calls in the new thread. (The same mechanism
	is used in the Boehm collector), or NULL which causes the thread
	to wait for work to appear in the Mercury runqueue.

runtime/mercury_context.c:
	initialize the global lock.

runtime/mercury_engine.{c,h}:
	Add a new field to the MercuryEngine structre which is used to
	store a list of saved thread ids. These were being saved in a
	local variable in call_engine_inner which was a bug because
	call_engine_inner's (C) stack frame gets scribbled on by Mercury
	execution. For more detail see the comments in mercury_engine.h

runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
	Use the new interface to create_thread.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Parse either a single attribute or a list of attributes instead
	of just 'may_call_mercury' in pragma c code and pragma import.
	These are stored in an abstract type 'pragma_c_code_attributes'
	that uses a bit array (aka int) to store the attributes.

compiler/pragma_c_gen.m:
	Get the code generator to emit c code to obtain and release the
	global lock for pragma c code that isn't thread_safe.

compiler/<various>.m:
	Change may_call_mercury to pragma_c_code_attributes.

doc/reference_manual.m:
	Document the change to pragma c code.

scripts/mgnuc.in:
	Pass some extra C flags for thread-safe compilation for Linux.

Remember the term__context of where we read an instance method from so that
we can give more accurate error messages. Also (slightly) improve the text of
the error message for instance methods.

        Ignore the term context.
module_qual.m:

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

----------

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

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

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

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

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

tests/hard_coded/typeclasses/inference_test_2.{m,exp}:
tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
tests/invalid/typeclass_test_8.{m,err_exp}:

----------

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'.

Estimated hours taken: 11

Finish off the centralization of the file name handling code, and
add support for generating intermediate files in subdirectories.

scripts/mmake.in:
	Add a new boolean option `--use-subdirs';
	if enabled, it just sets the environment variable MMAKE_USE_SUBDIRS
	to `yes' before invoking Make.
	Also add negative versions of the various options
	(`--no-use-subdirs', `--no-verbose', `--no-save-makefile').

scripts/Mmake.rules:
	Add code to handle generating intermediate file names
	in subdirectories.  If MMAKE_USE_SUBDIRS=yes, we add
	`--use-subdirs' to MCFLAGS, and most of the pattern rules
	are changed to use subdirectories.

	Note that getting this to work required a bit of a hack:
	due to what seem to be bugs in GNU Make, `mmake depend'
	needs to do `mmc --make-short-interface *.m' to get things
	started.  But once the int3s are there, the dependencies
	seem to work OK.

compiler/options.m:
	Add a new boolean option `--use-subdirs'.

compiler/modules.m:
	Add new predicate `fact_table_file_name'.
	Add an extra argument to `module_name_to_file_name',
	specifying whether or not to create any directories
	needed for the file name.
	Change all the file-name-creating predicates here
	to go through a single new predicate `choose_file_name',
	and add code in that predicate to handle the `--use-subdirs'
	option.
	Also if the `--use-subdirs' option is set, don't use the
	compact dependencies format, since it can't work in that case.

compiler/fact_table.m:
	Call `fact_table_file_name' rather than using `string__append'.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Change `link_module_list' and `join_module_list'
	so that they create file names by calling `module_name_to_file_name'.

compiler/export.m:
compiler/intermod.m:
compiler/llds_out.m:
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/module_qual.m:
compiler/modules.m:
compiler/termination.m:
compiler/trans_opt.m:
compiler/unused_args.m:
	Change all calls to `module_name_to_file_name' to pass
	the extra argument specifying whether or not to make
	any directories needed for the file name.

library/Mmakefile:
	Change the rule for `mmake install_ints' so that it
	creates a `Mercury' subdirectory with symbolic links
	`ints', `int2s', `int3s', `opts', and `trans_opts'
	which just point to `..'.  This is needed for the
	`--use-subdirs' option to work, because Mmake currently
	does not support mixing libraries compiled with and
	without `--use-subdirs'.

c87d89ec4c Change things so that almost all the places which create file names
Estimated hours taken: 4.5

Change things so that almost all the places which create file names
do so via just a few predicates (such as module_name_to_file_name)
in modules.m.  Centralising the file handling in this way
will make future changes to the file naming convention simpler.

(The one place which still creates file names other than via the predicates
declared at the start of modules.m is mercury_compile__link_module_list.
It creates them based on the value of the `-o <filename>' option.
I didn't change that because I am not yet sure what the semantics of
the `-o <filename>' option ought to be.)

compiler/modules.m:
	Add three extra arguments to module_name_to_file_name/2:
	the file extension, and an io__state pair.
	Add new predicates module_name_to_lib_file_name/6,
	module_name_to_split_c_file_name/6, and
	module_name_to_make_var_name/2.

	the name of the initialization function for a module,
	for use by modules.m.

compiler/modules.m:
	A few minor changes to the generated .dep files:
		- add a new phony target `foo.trans_opt',
		  to match `foo.opt';
		- change the generated rule for `change_clean'
		  so that it removes `.pic_o' files;
		- add `.PHONY' declarations for phony targets;
		- change the generated rule for making `foo.init'
		  so that it used the names returned by
		  llds_out__make_init_name/2, rather than
		  using "mercury__`basename foo.m .m`__init";
		- fix a bug in the generated rule for making `libfoo.a':
		  it had `rm -f foo.a' instead of `rm -f libfoo.a'.

3c0063fac0 Add support for the use of partial module qualifiers,
Estimated hours taken: 8

Add support for the use of partial module qualifiers,
e.g. using `child:foo' to refer to `parent🧒foo'.
Previously we only allowed names to be fully-qualified
or completely unqualified.

Note that we still don't yet keep track of which modules are visible,
so this change does not properly handle the distinction between
`import_module' and `use_module' declarations for parent modules.
It basically assumes that `child:foo' is allowed iff plain `foo'
would be allowed (i.e. iff `parent:child' has been imported)
whereas it ought to be allowed iff `parent' has been imported.

compiler/modules.m:
	Add get_partial_qualifiers/2, for use by make_hlds.m
	and hlds_module.m.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Insert partially-qualified symbols into the cons_table.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Insert partially-qualified symbols into the pred_table.

compiler/module_qual.m:
	When searching the symbol tables used for types, insts, modes,
	and typeclasses, search for partially-qualified symbols.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
	When module-qualifying cons_ids, make sure that we fully module
	qualify them even if they're already partially qualified.

	Uncomment the previously-failed test of using partially-qualified
	symbol names.  Add a new child module, `parent.child2', and import it
	using `use_module', so that we test `use_module' as well as
	`import_module'.  Add code to test importing of types and
	constructors.

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

Add support for nested modules.

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

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

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

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

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

NEWS:
	Mention that we support nested modules.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Document nested modules.

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

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

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

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

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

Implement nondet pragma C codes.

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

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

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

	Fix the indentation in some places.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	Reorder to put related code together.

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

	Add some more utility predicates.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	Document termination analysis.

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

	Remove spaces from the ends of lines.

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

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

	Remove spaces from the ends of lines.

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

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

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

tests/Mmakefile:
	Enable the new test case directory.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	Add constraints to the pred_info.

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

	Add the "class_method" marker.

compiler/lambda.m:
	A feable attempt at adding class ontexts to lambda expressions,
	untested and almost certainly not working.
compiler/llds_out.m:
	Output the code addresses for do_*det_class_method, and output
	appropriately mangled symbol names for base_typeclass_infos.
compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Add constraints to the types on pred and func decls, and add
	class and instance declarations to the class_table and instance_table
	respectively.
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Add the check_typeclass pass.
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Output constraints of pred and funcs, and output typeclass and instance
	declarations.
compiler/module_qual.m:
	Module qualify typeclass names in pred class contexts, and qualify the
	typeclass and instance decls themselves.
compiler/modules.m:
	Output typeclass declarations in the short interface too.
compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add the "typeclass" and "instance" items. Define the types to store
	information about the declarations, including class contexts on pred
	and func decls.
compiler/prog_io.m:
	Parse constraints on pred and func declarations.
compiler/prod_out.m:

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.
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	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:
	Add `impure' and `semipure' to marker enum.  Added new
	public predicates to get predicate purity and whether or not
	it's promised to be pure.

	Add purity checking pass between type and mode checking.
compiler/mode_errors.m:
	Distinguish mode errors caused by impure goals preventing
	goals being delayed.
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.

f9ad85698a Add termination analysis to the compiler. The termination analysis
Estimated hours taken: 500

Add termination analysis to the compiler. The termination analysis
annotates each procinfo structure with termination information stating
whether each procedure is guaranteed to terminate.
Add transitive intermodule optimization to the compiler. Transitive
intermodule optimization uses .trans_opt files to store optimization
information.  The difference between .trans_opt files and .opt files is
that .trans_opt files may depend on other .trans_opt files, whereas .opt
files may only depend on a .m file.

compiler/termination.m:
	New file.  The main module which controls the termination
	analysis.
compiler/term_pass1.m:
	New file.  This file implements the first pass of the
	termination analysis which attempts to derive relationships
	between the relative sizes of variables.  This information is
	used by term_pass2.m
compiler/term_pass2.m:
	New file.  The second pass of the termination analysis attempts
	to prove that each predicate or function in the program is
	guaranteed to terminate.
compiler/term_util.m:
	New file.  Contains utilities which are used in various stages
	of the termination analysis.
compiler/term_errors.m:
	New file.  Contains predicates for printing out error messages
	produced by termination analysis.
compiler/trans_opt.m:
	New file.  This module contains predicates for both reading in
	and writing .trans_opt files.
compiler/globals.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
compiler/options.m:
	Various modifications to handle the new options.  Some of the
	new options imply other options, and the `--termination-norm'
	option is a string option which needs processing.
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Added a comment that the list(uni_mode) subfield of construct,
	and the unify_mode subfield of unify are not necessarily valid
	when the unification applies to higher order terms.
compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Added code to output termination information, as well as code to
	print out the new markers.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Added the termination subfield to the proc_info structure and
	added code to support it.  Also added support for the new
	markers.
compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
compiler/module_qual.m:
compiler/modules.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:

	`teminates', `check_termination' and `does_not_terminate'.
compiler/prog_data.m:
	Added the new pragmas to the pragma_type.  Also reformatted the
	type declarations to conform with the coding specifications.
compiler/prog_io.m:
	Reformatted some code and comments.
compiler/mercury_compiler.m:
	Added code to call the termination analyser and to call the
	predicate which creates .trans_opt files.

Estimated hours taken: 6

Fix a bug where the compiler reported an internal error `unify_inst failed'
for certain ill-moded calls involving `any' insts.

compiler/inst_util.m:
	Add code in abstractly_unify_inst to handle some more cases
	of `any' that previously we didn't allow; specifically, the case
	of unifying a `bound' or `ground' inst with `any'.
	The new cases are allowed only in the `fake_unify' case, not in
	the `real_unify' case, because code generation doesn't yet
	support these cases.

	Also fix a couple of unrelated bugs in abstractly_unify_inst
	where the `live' case was passing `dead' rather than `live'
	to unify_uniq.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add a new compiler-generated inst name `any_inst', similar to
	`ground_inst', but for insts resulting from unification with
	`any' rather than unification with `ground'.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Any a new `any_inst' table, similar to the `ground_inst' table.

99184d3578 Implement support for types with user-defined equality predicates.
Estimated hours taken: 30

Implement support for types with user-defined equality predicates.

Types with user-defined equality predicates are called "non-canonical types";
they may have more than one representation for the same abstract value.
That means that any attempt to deconstruct a value of a non-canonical
type, i.e. any attempt to peek at the representation, must be cc_multi.

This also implies that conceptually speaking, non-canonical types are not
members of the type classes `comparable' (compare/3) or `deconstructible'
(index/2, argument/3, functor/3, deconstruct/5).  Since we don't support
type classes yet, that just means that the type-class checking is done
at runtime, i.e. any call to one of those functions for a non-canonical
type will call error/1 or fatal_error().

To make non-canonical types useful, we really need type classes,
so that the user can provide instance definitions for `comparable'
and `deconstructible' for such types.  It might also be a good idea
to have a type-class `canonicalizable' which provides a function
to convert its argument to some canonical type (that would
require existential types to do nicely, but alternatively we could
just use `univ').

Note that currently the only mechanism for promising that things are
unique is via the C interface.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Add code to check unifications that examine the
	representation of a type with a user-defined equality predicate.
	Any such unification must occur in a single-solution context and
	must not be able to fail.  Such unifications determinism have
	determinism cc_multi.

compiler/det_report.m:
	Add code to report errors for misuse of types with user-defined
	equality predicates.  (Also some other stylistic improvements:
	split up a complicated predicate into subroutines, and
	avoid some unnecessary code duplication.)

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add a new `maybe(sym_name)' field to the du_type/3 constructor
	to hold the name of the user-defined equality pred for the
	type, if any.

compiler/prog_io.m:
	Add code to parse the new `... where equality is <name>.' syntax.
	Delete the old support for `... where <condition>'.

compiler/typecheck.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:

	the new field in `du_type'.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
	Pass the term__context to unify_proc__request_unify.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Typecheck the compiler-generated unify predicates for types
	with user-defined equality preds.

compiler/unify_proc.m:
	For d.u. types, if the type has a user-defined equality predicate
	then generate code for the compiler-generated unify predicate
	that just calls the specified predicate, and generate
	code for the compiler-generated compare and index predicates
	that just calls some procedures in mercury_builtin.m that
	report appropriate error messages.
	Ensure that the automatically-generated predicates
	have appropriate term__contexts everywhere, so that if
	the user-defined equality predicate name is ambiguous,
	non-existent, or has the wrong type, mode, or determinism,
	then the error messages from type checking, mode checking,
	or determinism checking refer to the type declaration.

library/mercury_builtin.m:
	Add predicates builtin_index_non_canonical_type/2
	and builtin_compare_non_canonical_type/2, used by
	the code generated by compiler/unify_proc.m.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Document the support for user-defined equality predicates.

library/std_util.m:
	Change ML_expand() to return an indication of whether or not
	the type is a non-canonical type (one with a user-defined
	equality predicate).  Change argument/2, functor/2, and
	deconstruct/4 to abort if called for a non-canonical type.

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.

Estimated hours taken: 14

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	Added some documentation about when the clauses_info is valid.

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

compiler/modules.m
	Handle use_module directives.

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

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

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

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

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

91c4330db7 The first half of a change to introduce nondet pragma C goals.
Estimated hours taken: 12

The first half of a change to introduce nondet pragma C goals.
This half makes the necessary modifications to the HLDS; the next
half will modify the LLDS and emit it.

prog_data:
	Add a new pragma type for nondet pragma c_codes; these specify
	the names of a a bunch of variables to save across backtracking,
	and a list of label names to which backtracking may take place.

	Rename is_recursive to may_call_mercury, since this is a more
	direct expression of the meaning.

prog_io:
	Move much of the functionality to new files.

prog_io_dcg, prog_io_goal, prog_io_pragma, prog_io_util:
	New files, made up of pieces of prog_io.

hlds_goal:
	Add an extra argument to the pragma_c_goals to store the extra
	information present in the new type of pragma c_codes.

det_analysis:
	Take into account that the new type of pragma_c goal may have
	more than one solution.

goal_util:
	Rename variables in the new field of pragma_cs.

live_vars:
	Allocate stack slots to the saved variables in the new type of pragma_c
	goals.

make_hlds:
	Handle the new type of pragma_c goals.

mercury_output, hlds_out:
	Output the new type of pragma_c goals.

garbage_out:
	Rename type "det" to "frame_type".

others:
	Ignore one more arg of pragma_c goals or import prog_io_util.

bb2b816787 * Inter-module unused argument removal.
Estimated hours taken: 100

* Inter-module unused argument removal.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

compiler/base_type_layout.m
compiler/special_pred.m
compiler/vn_order.m
library/mercury_builtin.m
	Removed duplicate calls.

doc/user_guide.texi
	Documented options.

tests/warnings/duplicate_call.m
tests/warnings/duplicate_call.exp
	Test duplicate call warning.

f23324f5fa This change fixes two bugs, in quantification and liveness.
Estimated hours taken: 10

This change fixes two bugs, in quantification and liveness. I made the changes
to the other files while trying to find them; they ought to be useful in
trying to find similar bugs in the future.

The compiler now bootstraps with agressive inlining enabled.

quantification:
	Fix a bug that switched two different accumulators of the same type
	when processing pragma_c_codes.

liveness:
	Fix a bug that could cause a variable to end up in both the post-death
	and post-birth set of the same goal.

options:
	Reenable inlining.

hlds_out, mercury_to_mercury:
	If -D v is given, include the number of each variable at the end of
	its name (e.g. Varname_20).

	The predicates involved (a few from mercury_to_mercury and many from
	hlds_out) now have an extra argument that says whether this should be
	done or not. (It is not done when printing clauses e.g. for .opt
	files.)

	The bug in quantification was causing the improper substitution of
	one variable for another, but both had the same name; such bugs would
	be very difficult to find without this change.

constraint, det_report, intermod, make_hlds, mercury_to_c, mode_debug,
mode_errors, module_qual, typecheck:
	Call predicates in hlds_out or mercury_to_mercury with the extra
	argument.

saved_vars:
	Thread the io__state through this module to allow debugging.

mercury_compile:
	Call saved_vars via its new interface.

	Fix an inadvertent use of an out-of-date ModuleInfo.

goal_util, hlds_goal:
	Minor formatting cleanup.

code_gen:
	Clean up the import sequence.

d0e054223a Allow `pragma export' for semidet predicates and for det/semidet functions.
Estimated hours taken: 4

Allow `pragma export' for semidet predicates and for det/semidet functions.
(Previously it only worked for det predicates.)

prog_data.m:
	Add a pred_or_func field to the pragma_export struct.

prog_io.m:
	Add code to parse `pragma export' declarations for functions,
	e.g. `pragma export(foo(in) = out, "foo")'.

mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Add code to print out `pragma export' declarations for functions.

module_qual.m:
	Change export/3 to export/4.

export.m:
	Handle semidet procedures -- the C function returns TRUE/FALSE
	depending on whether the Mercury procedure succeeded or failed.

	Handle functions -- for det functions whose return value has
	mode `out', the Mercury function return value is returned as the C
	function return value.

	Don't call save_registers() after returning from call_engine(),
	since call_engine() now saves them itself.

	When generating header files, don't make up argument names
	for the function prototypes, instead just leave the arguments
	unnamed.  Also, make sure the `#ifndef HEADER_NAME_H' comes
	at the very start of the file, before #include "imp.h".

Estimated hours taken: 80

Added code to various sections of the compiler to parse
`pragma fact_table' declarations and add them to the HLDS.

Added output of fact_table dependencies to .d and .dep files.

Added a new module fact_table.m for parsing the actual fact tables and
generating code.  This is not finished yet.

Added ability to have `pragma c_code' declarations for Mercury
functions.

Modified Files:
   compiler/hlds_module.m
	Added predicate `module_info_set_pred_info' to add a `pred_info'
	entry to `module_info' given a `pred_id'.

   compiler/make_hlds.m
	Added code to handle new `pragma fact_table' declarations.
	New predicate `module_add_pragma_fact_table' which calls the
	fact compiler in fact_table.m to compile the fact table and
	generate C code to access it.  Then add the C code to the HLDS
	as a `pragma c_code'.

	Mercury functions can now have `pragma c_code' declarations.

   compiler/intermod.m
   	Included PredOrFunc argument in call to mercury_output_pragma_c_code.

   compiler/mercury_compile.m
	Added parameters to some predicates to allow fact table
	dependency information to be passed around.

   compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m
   	Handle output of `pragma fact_table' declarations.
	Handle output of `pragma c_code' declarations for functions.

   compiler/module_qual.m
   	Handle module qualification of `pragma fact_table'
	declarations.

   compiler/modules.m
   	New predicate `get_fact_table_dependencies' to work out which
	fact tables a module depends on.
	Changes to `write_dependency_file' to write out fact table
	dependencies.
	Changes to some other predicates to allow fact table
	dependencies to be passed around the module.

   compiler/prog_data.m
   	Added new functor `fact_table(sym_name, arity, string)'
	to the `pragma_type' type.
	Added a `pred_or_func' field to the `c_code' functor of the
	`pragma_type' type.

   compiler/prog_io.m
   	Added code to `parse_pragma_type' to parse `:- pragma fact_table'.
	Here is a sample declaration.  The facts are in a file called
	"factfile":

	:- pred facts(string, int, float).
	:- mode facts(out, out, out) is multidet.
	:- pragma fact_table(facts/3, "factfile").

	Mercury functions can now have `pragma c_code' declarations.
	Here is a sample declaration:

	:- func c_add(int, int) = int.
	:- pragma c_code(non_recursive, c_add(A::in, B::in) = (C::out), "
		C = A + B;
		").


Added Files:
   compiler/fact_table.m
   	Module not yet finished, but it compiles correctly and doesn't
	interfere with the rest of the compiler.

	Main purposes of the module are to parse the fact table
	file, perform type, mode and determinism checks and generate C
	code for the fact table.

	Completed so far:  parsing, type and mode checking,
	determinism inference.  A C array is output to represent the
	table, but no functions are produced yet to access it.

5d64b759db The main changes are
Estimated hours taken: 12

The main changes are

1	associating a name with the arguments of constructors

2	removing the follow_vars field from calls, higher-order calls
	and complicated unifications, since they are not used

3	merging the follow_vars and store_alloc passes, since they logically
	belong together

4	add a new module, lco, for detecting opportunities for last
	call optimization modulo constructor application; it won't
	actually apply the optimization until the mode system becomes
	expressive enough to handle it (this module detects 529 opportunities
	in the compiler and library)

5	make "-O3 --optimize-value-number" do the right thing; previously,
	it used not to apply value numbering because the vnrepeat option
	defaulted to zero

6	don't refer to .err2 files anymore; use .err instead.

prog_data:
	The list associated with each value of type "constructor" now
	contains not only the types of the arguments but their names as well.

equiv_type, hlds_data, hlds_out, make_hlds, mercury_to_{goedel,mercury},
mode_util, module_qual, shapes, type_util, unify_proc:
	Modify the traversal of type definitions to account for the names
	in the lists inside values of type "constructor".

prog_io:
	Parse argument names. An unrelated change is that we now
	check whether :- pred declarations give modes to some of their
	arguments but not to all, in which case we return an error.

hlds_goal:
	Remove the follow_vars field from calls, higher-order calls
	and complicated unifications.

*.m:
	Handle the new arities of calls, higher order calls and complicated
	unifications.

mercury_compile:
	Don't call follow_vars directly anymore, but do call lco if its option
	is set. Also flush the main output before a call to maybe_report_stats
	to prevent ugly output.

store_alloc:
	Call follow_vars directly.

follow_vars:
	Expose the initialization and traversal predicates for store_alloc.

lco:
	Find opportunities for last call optimization modulo constructor
	application.

passes_aux:
	Add a HLDS traversal type for lco.

optimize:
	Consider the vnrepeat count to be zero unless value numbering is on.

options:
	Set the default value of vnrepeat to 1.

modules:
	Don't refer to .err2 files.

Estimated hours taken: 1

Make sure that if, while converting the parse tree to HLDS in
make_hlds.m, we encounter any undefined insts/modes (in lambda
expressions) or undefined types (in explicit type qualifications),
then we do not attempt to continue with type or mode checking.
This fixes a `map__lookup failed' error for the test case
tests/invalid/undef_lambda_mode.m.

module_qual.m:
	Export the mq_info_get_{type_error_flag,mode_error_flag,num_errors}
	predicates.
make_hlds.m:
	Call the above-mentioned predicates and return the results
	back to mercury_compile.m.
mercury_compile.m:
	Use the UndefTypes and UndefModes flags returned by make_hlds.m.

Also, one minor unrelated change:

5d3fc10571 - Inter-module optimization.
Estimated hours taken: 50

- Inter-module optimization.
Allows inlining and higher-order specialization across module boundaries.
Gives ~10% speed-up on the compiler compiling to C.

- The code to handle explicit type qualification.
The test to recognise a type qualification is semidet_fail'ed
until we work out which operator to use.

- Improved data structures in module_qual.m.
Also, module qualification of the modes of lambda expressions is now
done in make_hlds.m, since it is more convenient now that type
qualifications are module qualified there also.

* Type qualification and module qualifiers on higher-order predicate
constants and function calls still need to be implemented before this
will work on all programs.

* To create a version of a program using this optimization method,
add --intermodule-optimization to MCFLAGS, mmake change_clean,
mmake depend, then make as normal.

* mmake change_clean removes the executable, the .dep file and all
.cs and .os.

compiler/intermod.m
	Handle input and output of .opt files.

compiler/modules.m
	Added some new dependencies in the .d files for
	the .c and .opt files if inter-module optimization
	is being used.
	Also added .opt and .optdate to the list of things for
	mmake realclean to remove.
	Added a target, change_clean, which removes only those files
	necessary to force a rebuild using --intermodule-optimization.
	These are <module>, <module>.dep and all the .c, .o and .s files.

compiler/options.m
	Added options:
		--make-optimization-interface - make the .opt file.
		--intermodule-optimization - puts extra dependencies
			into .d files and turns on input of .opt files.

compiler/make_hlds.m
	Changes to give items from .opt files the correct import_status.
	Also, when matching pragma_c_code clauses to the declared modes
	of the predicates, expand and match on the initial and final insts
	of the argument modes, not the modes themselves, since items in
	.opt files have the modes expanded.
	Module qualify the modes of lambda expressions in unravel_unification
	rather than during mode analysis.
	Parse explicit type qualifications, and add these to the vartypes.
	At the moment this is disabled.

compiler/typecheck.m
	Get the head type params from the tvarset, not from the arg types,
	so that tvars in type qualifications are included.
	Added checks to prevent matching of predicates, functions and
	constructors which should not be visible to a clause.

compiler/module_qual.m
	Module qualify explicit type qualifications.
	More efficient data structures.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m
	Export some predicates. Make sure C code strings are properly
	quoted in the .opt files.

compiler/hlds_out.m
	Output function calls correctly. Alter hlds_out__write_goal to write
	out type qualifications on all functors if writing a .opt file.

compiler/hlds_pred.m
	Added a new import_status opt_imported for clauses and declarations
	read from a .opt file. Pred and func declarations read from a .opt
	file get an `opt_decl' import_status so that the compiler doesn't
	expect clauses for them and local preds can't use them.
	Also added import_status abstract_imported and abstract_exported
	to describe types which have only an abstract definition imported
	or exported.
	Added a field to clauses_info to store the map(var, type) from
	explicit type qualifications.
	Renamed pred_info_set_status/3 to pred_info_set_import_status/3 to
	be consistent with pred_info_import_status/2.

compiler/hlds_data.m
	Added an import_status field to the hlds__mode_defn and
	hlds__inst_defn so that intermod.m knows what has already
	been exported.

compiler/equiv_type.m
	Pass out the equiv_map and export a predicate used to
	expand type qualifications.

compiler/dead_proc_elim.m
	Remove non-optimized versions of opt_imported preds. All
	optimizations must give the optimized version an import_status
	of local.

compiler/code_util.m
	Changed code_util__make_local_entry_label so that `localcall's
	are used for recursive calls in exported predicates.

compiler/code_aux.m
	Changed code_aux__contains_only_builtins_2 so that it doesn't
	check for complicated unifies, since any time this is called,
	complicated unifies have either not been created (when called
	when writing the .opt files) or have been converted to calls
	(when called during inlining).

compiler/higher_order.m
	Make sure that the specialized versions get unique names.

compiler/mercury_compile.pp
	Add calls to intermod.m predicates.

compiler/bytecode_gen.m
	Bracketed some '->'/2 insts so that they can be parsed by SICStus.

compiler/peephole.m
	Replace computed_gotos where all the targets are the same with
	an unconditional goto.

compiler/notes/COMPILER_DESIGN
	Documented intermod.m.

library/list.m
	Added list__all_same/1, which is true if all elements of a list are
	identical. Also added list__last/2, which returns the final element
	of a list, failing on the empty list.

library/io.m
	Change the format specifier for io__write_float so that the decimal
	point is always output. Without this, the result may not be a valid
	Mercury floating point constant.

library/varset.m
	Add predicate varset__create_name_var_map/2 to create a mapping
	from variable name to variable id given a varset. This is used
	in processing type qualifications.

scripts/Mmake.rules
scripts/Mmake.vars.in
	Add suffixes, rules and options for .opt and .optdate.

scripts/mercury_update_interface.in
	Work-around for a problem with parallel gmake. mc --make-interface
	was being run twice in a row on the same module. The first call
	mercury_update_interface moves module.int.tmp to module.int,
	then the second can't find module.int.tmp. The work-around is to
	ignore the exit status of the mv.

Some cleaning up:

compiler/*.m
	Fixed some out of date comments about the handling of
	complicated_unify. Also commented some dead code to do
	with generation of code for complicated_unify.

compiler/modes.m
compiler/mode_info.m
	Moved code to module qualify modes of lambda expressions into
	make_hlds.
	Moved predicates resolve_pred_overloading and find_matching_pred_id
	into typecheck, renaming with a typecheck__ prefix, so that these
	can be called from intermod.m.

compiler/undef_modes.m
compiler/undef_types.m
	Removed - their functionality is now in module_qual.m, except
	for checking for looping equivalence types.

compiler/no_builtin.m
compiler/nit_builtin.m
	Removed - they were made useless (if they weren't already) by
	the removal of the --builtin-module option.

compiler/notes/AUTHORS
	Updated student email addresses.
