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/Mmakefile:
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}:
tests/invalid/aditi_update_mode_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.

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

Merge in the changes from the existential_types_2 branch.

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

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

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:
	Supplementary context transformation.

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.

Estimated hours taken: 10

Clean up the handling of commits and goals which cannot succeed.
This fixes problems with tests/hard_coded/cut_test.m.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Be more careful about using `true_goal/1' and `fail_goal/1' instead
	of `conj([])' and `disj([], _)'.
	When removing unnecessary disjunctions or if-then-elses around goals
	be sure to wrap the goal if the inner and outer determinisms are not
	equal.
	Rerun determinism analysis where required.
	Remove `some's where the inner and outer determinisms are the same.

compiler/mode_util.m:
	Enforce the invariant that if the initial instmap is unreachable,
	the instmap_delta is unreachable.

compiler/ite_gen.m:
	Don't barf if the `then' part of an if-then-else is unreachable.

compiler/common.m:
	Check for constructions where the assigned variable is not output.

compiler/deforest.m:
	Requantify before rerunning mode analysis when inlining.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Export predicates to run determinism analysis on a goal, not an
	entire procedure.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Fix a bug: it was incorrectly optimizing away calls to
	existentially typed predicates if the call had no output
	variables.  In such cases, it should not optimize the call
	away, since the type_info is output.

	For the moment I have just disabled the optimization.
	The proper fix would be to run polymorphism.m before simplify.m
	rather than vice versa.  When we've done that, we can re-enable
	this optimization.

f2458bd34b Fix a bug reported by Philip Dart where "this disjunct cannot succeed"
Estimated hours taken: 2

Fix a bug reported by Philip Dart where "this disjunct cannot succeed"
warnings for predicates using sub-typing in modes were being output
without a context.

compiler/hlds_goal.m
	Add versions of true_goal and fail_goal which take
	a context for the goal.

compiler/simplify.m
	Pass a valid context to true_goal and fail_goal.
	Only report most of the --warn-simple-code messages if they
	occur for all modes of a predicate - this avoids spurious
	"this disjunct cannot succeed" warnings for sub-typing.

compiler/det_report.m
	Added det_report__is_any_mode_msg to return whether a
	message should only be reported if it occurs for all modes

98c2fbf51b Bug fixes.
Estimated hours taken: 12

Bug fixes.

tests/term/arit_exp.m still fails with --intermodule-optimization
due to a slightly different (but correct) trans_opt file being produced.

compiler/simplify.m
	Don't produce singleton disjunctions, since the code generator
	barfs on them. Use a `some' instead.
	Test case: tests/general/partition.m compiled with --deforestation.

compiler/unused_args.m
	Deconstructions where the arguments included `any' insts were
	not being handled correctly, due to inst_matches_binding
	failing for any->any.
	Test case: extras/trailed_update/samples/vqueens.m at -O3.
	Don't warn about predicates from `.opt' files having unused
	arguments, because in most cases the warning will be generated
	when compiling the imported module.

compiler/higher_order.m
	Fix a bug that caused compiler/modules.m to be miscompiled at
	-O3 --intermodule-optimization, due to curried arguments for
	multiple known higher-order arguments being passed to a
	specialised version in the wrong order.
	Test case: tests/hard_coded/ho_order2.m

compiler/mercury_compile.m
	Call intermod__update_pred_import_status when compiling to
	C at the same stage of the compilation as the `.opt' file
	was written to ensure that the same information is being used.
	Test case: tests/hard_coded/rational_test.m compiled with
	--intermodule-optimization failed because of a link error.
	Make sure polymorphism has been run before doing unused argument
	checking with --errorcheck-only. Otherwise the argument indices
	read in from `.opt' files are incorrect.

compiler/intermod.m
	Use code_util__compiler_generated to test if a called predicate
	is compiler generated, rather than looking for a call_unify_context
	(function calls have a call_unify_context).
	Add a progress message for updating the import status of predicates
	exported to `.opt' files.
	Fix a bug where the unused_args pragmas read in from the current
	module's `.opt' file were given an import_status of `imported' rather
	than `opt_imported' resulting in an error message from make_hlds.m.

compiler/dead_proc_elim.m
	Ensure that predicates used by instance declarations and
	`:- pragma export's are not eliminated by the dead_pred_elim
	pass before typechecking.
	Test case: most of the typeclass tests compiled with
	--intermodule-optimization.

compiler/hlds_goal.m
	Remove obsolete comments about the modes of a higher-order
	unification being incorrect after polymorphism, since that
	was fixed months ago.

compiler/options.m
	Reenable deforestation.
	Enable --intermodule-optimization and --intermod-unused-args
	at -O5 so they get tested occasionally.

compiler/handle_options.m
	Disable deforestation if --typeinfo-liveness is set, since
	there are bugs in the folding code if extra typeinfos are
	added to a new predicate's arguments by hlds_pred__define_new_pred.
	Disable higher_order.m if --typeinfo-liveness is set, since
	higher_order.m currently does not pass all necessary typeinfos
	to specialised versions or update the typeinfo_varmap of
	specialised versions.
	Test case: tests/valid/agc_ho_pred.m

tests/hard_coded/ho_order2.m
tests/hard_coded/ho_order2.exp
	Test case for higher_order.m.

tools/test_mercury
	Added --intermod-unused-args to the options for murlibobo.

extras/trailed_update/{samples,tests}/Mmakefile
	Add "-I.." to MGNUCFLAGS so gcc can find unsafe.h which
	is #included in c_header_code read from unsafe.opt.

bcf7dbf9f8 Add support for tabling.
Estimated hours taken: 250

Add support for tabling.

This change allows for model_det, model_semidet and model_non memoing,
minimal model and loop detection tabling.

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

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Allow tabling to change the result of det analysis. This is
	necessary in the case of minimal model tabling which can
	turn a det procedure into a semidet one.

compiler/det_report.m:
compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add code to report error messages for various non compatible
	tabling methods and determinism.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
compiler/modules.m:
	Remove reference to the old memo marker.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Create new type (eval_method) to define which of the available
	evaluation methods should be used each procedure.
	Add new field to the proc_info structure.
	Add several new predicates relating to the new eval_method type.

compiler/inlining.m:
compiler/intermod.m:
	Make sure only procedures with normal evaluation are inlined.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Add code to process new tabling pragmas.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Call the tabling transformation code.

compiler/modes.m:
	Make sure that all procedures with non normal evaluation have
	no unique/partially instantiated modes. Produce error messages
	if they do. Support for partially instantiated modes is currently
	missing as it represents a large amount of work for a case that
	is currently not used.

compiler/module_qual.m:
compile/prog_data.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Add three new pragma types:
		`memo'
		`loop_check'
		`minimal_model'
	and code to support them.

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

compiler/stratify.m:
	Change the stratification analyser so that it reports cases of
	definite non-stratification. Rather than reporting warnings for
	any code that is not definitely stratified.
	Remove reference to the old memo marker.

compiler/switch_detection.m:
	Fix a small bug where goal were being placed in reverse order.
	Call list__reverse on the list of goals.

compiler/table_gen.m:
	New module to do the actual tabling transformation.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Document addition of new tabling pass to the compiler.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Fix mistake in example.

library/mercury_builtin.m:
	Add many new predicates for support of tabling.

library/std_util.m:
library/store.m:
	Move the functions :
		ML_compare_type_info
		ML_collapse_equivalences
		ML_create_type_info
	to the runtime.

runtime/mercury_deep_copy.c:
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
runtime/mercury_type_info.c:
	Move the make_type_info function into the mercury_type_info module
	and make it public.

runtime/Mmakefile:
runtime/mercury_imp.h:
	Add references to new files added for tabling support.

runtime/mercury_string.h:
	Change hash macro so it does not cause a name clash with any
	variable called "hash".

runtime/mercury_type_info.c:
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Add three new functions taken from the library :
		MR_compare_type_info
		MR_collapse_equivalences
		MR_create_type_info.

runtime/mercury_table_any.c:
runtime/mercury_table_any.h:
runtime/mercury_table_enum.c:
runtime/mercury_table_enum.h:
runtime/mercury_table_int_float_string.c:
runtime/mercury_table_int_float_string.h:
runtime/mercury_table_type_info.c:
runtime/mercury_table_type_info.h:
runtime/mercury_tabling.h:

75354e38bb Deforestation.
Estimated hours taken: 400

Deforestation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

New files:

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

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

Add support for nested modules.

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

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

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

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

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

NEWS:
	Mention that we support nested modules.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Document nested modules.

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

tests/general/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.

d0085d8119 Assorted changes to make the HLDS type and mode correct
Estimated hours taken: 45

Assorted changes to make the HLDS type and mode correct
after lambda expansion. The HLDS is still not unique mode
correct after common structure elimination.

compiler/det_analysis.m
	Make sure the inferred_determinism field of the proc_info is filled
	in correctly for imported procedures and class methods.

compiler/mode_util.m
	Fix a bug in recompute_instmap_delta_call to do with unreachable
	instmaps. This caused an abort a couple of months ago when
	compiling with --deforestation (not yet committed), but
	can't currently be reproduced.

compiler/hlds_pred.m
compiler/lambda.m
	Add a field to the proc_info to record which args_method
	should be used for this procedure. Procedures directly
	called by do_call_*_closure must be compiled with
	the `compact' argument convention to avoid the need to permute
	the arguments so inputs come before outputs.

compiler/lambda.m
compiler/higher_order.m
	Remove permutation of argument variables of lambda expressions
	so the HLDS is type and mode correct and mode analysis can
	be rerun. Otherwise, rerunning mode analysis will fail on
	tests/hard_coded/ho_order.m.

compiler/arg_info.m
	Added arg_info__ho_call_args_method which returns
	an args_method which can always be directly called by
	do_call_*_closure (`compact').
	Added arg_info__args_method_is_ho_callable to check that
	a given args_method can be directly called.

compiler/unify_gen.m
	Abort if a closure is created for a procedure compiled
	with the simple argument convention.

compiler/hlds_goal.m
compiler/lambda.m
	Mode analysis was not storing the non-locals list on which the
	uni_modes field of the construction of a lambda goal was computed.
	If the nonlocals were renamed, the sort order could change, and
	the non-locals could be incorrectly matched with the arguments
	of the introduced lambda expression, causing a mode error. The
	argument list is now stored.
	This caused rerunning mode-checking on tests/valid/lazy_list.m
	after polymorphism to fail.

compiler/*.m
	Fill in the args_method field of proc_infos with the value
	from the globals.
	Handle the extra argument to the lambda_goal unify_rhs.

compiler/follow_vars.m
	Remove code to handle complicated unifications, since
	they should be removed by polymorphism.m.

compiler/special_pred.m
library/mercury_builtin.m
	Make the uniqueness of the comparison_result argument
	of builtin_compare_* and the automatically generated
	comparison procedures match that of compare/3. Unique mode
	errors will still be introduced if polymorphism.m specializes
	calls to any of the unique modes of compare/3 and then mode analysis
	is rerun, since the compiler-generated comparison procedures
	only implement the (uo, in, in) mode. (This is not yet a problem
	because currently we don't rerun mode analysis.)

runtime/mercury_ho_call.c
	Remove code in do_call_*_closure to deal with the
	`simple' args_method. Since the output arguments no longer
	need to be moved, the closure call is now a tailcall.
	Remove some magic numbers.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m
	Avoid some aborts and mode errors when rerunning mode analysis,
	especially those resulting from not_reached insts being treated
	as bound.
	Avoid aborting on higher-order predicate constants with multiple
	modes if lambda expansion has already been run.

tests/valid/higher_order.m
        Add a test case for an abort in mode analysis when
	compiling with --deforestation (not yet committed),
	due to a predicate constant for a procedure with multiple
	modes.

tests/valid/unreachable_code.m
	Add a test case for bogus higher-order unification
	mode errors in unreachable code.

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

Implement nondet pragma C codes.

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

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

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

	Fix the indentation in some places.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	Reorder to put related code together.

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

	Add some more utility predicates.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	Document termination analysis.

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

	Remove spaces from the ends of lines.

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

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

	Remove spaces from the ends of lines.

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

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

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

tests/Mmakefile:
	Enable the new test case directory.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	Add constraints to the pred_info.

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

	Add the "class_method" marker.

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

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

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

runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
	Implement do_call_*det_class_method, which are the pieces of code
	responsible for extracting the correct code address from the
	typeclass_info, setting up the arguments correctly, then executing
	the code.
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Macros for accessing the typeclass_info structure.

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.

compiler/mercury_to_goedel.m:
	Added purity argument to module_add_{pred,func},

	Handle promise_pure pragma.  Handle purity/2 wrapper used to
	handle user-written impurity annotations on goals.
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	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.

Clean up the handling of predicate markers (flags).

compiler/hlds_pred.m:

	which wasn't being used.
	Change the "markers list" field of the pred_info from a
	list(marker_status) to an abstract data type representing
	a set of markers.
	Add new access predicates for this ADT.

	Currently the ADT is still implemented as a list, but it might
	be a good idea to eventually change it to be an int, using a

compiler/dnf.m:
	Don't bother to record `done(dnf)' markers, since they're not needed.

compiler/make_hlds.m:

3641af5272 Add constant propagation within modules. This occurs during simplification
Estimated hours taken: 10


Add constant propagation within modules. This occurs during simplification
and simply attempts to evaluate "known" calls that have all their inputs
bound to constants and replaces the call with constructions of the outputs.
Currently the "known" calls are (most) of the arithmetic predicates, and
the comparison of ints and floats.

compiler/instmap.m:
	add merge_instmap_deltas which merges a list of intmap deltas
	rather than just two of them.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/options.m:
	add (and use) the option --optimize-constant-propagation

compiler/simplify.m:
	add a bool to the simplify struct to turn on/off constant
	propagation.
	in the simplification of calls, check to see if all the inputs
	are bound to constants. If we know how to evaluate this call
	at compile time, then do so. This may change the instmap delta.
	For branched goals, we merge the instmap deltas to recompute the
	instmap delta for the goal as a whole so that we know when every
	branch binds a variable to the same constant.

	mention constant propagation.

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.

3492d71bf2 Fix a bug. For the example code in the bug report, simplify.m simplified
Estimated hours taken: 4

Fix a bug.  For the example code in the bug report, simplify.m simplified
the code by merging two switches, which happened to lead to one branch
containing `error(...), fail'.  The problem was that determinism
analysis inferred a determinism of `failure' for that branch, rather
than `erroneous'.  This caused the code generator to abort, because
the switch was `det' (= model_det) but the case was `failure' (= model_semi).
The basic problem is that simplify.m assumed that simplifying goals
in this way should never make their determinism worse (less precise),
though it might make it better.  But due to the imprecision of determinism
analysis, this assumption was not correct.  The fix is to change determinism
analysis so that the assumption is correct.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Add a new predicate exported predicate det_conjunction_detism/3.
	This is similar to calling det_conjunction_canfail/3
	and det_conjunction_maxsoln/3 and combining the results,
	except that if the first goal cannot ever succeed, the determinism
	of the second goal is ignored.  Also, make det_conjunction_canfail/3
	and det_conjunction_maxsoln/3 local rather than exported, to ensure
	that callers from other modules use the new predicate.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Delete conjuncts which are known to be unreachable based on the
	determinism information, as well as based on mode information.
	(The previous code already deleted conjuncts which were
	unreachable due to mode information, but the determinism
	information may be more precise than the mode information.)

compiler/simplify.m:
compiler/follow_code.m:
	Use det_conjunction_detism/3 rather than det_conjunction_canfail/3
	and det_conjunction_maxsoln/3.

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

Fix a bug in inlining of polymorphic pragma c_code procedures.

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

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

compiler/make_hlds.m:

        Remove code to optimize if-then-elses with conditions that cannot
