a13a6d0f97 Carve hlds_proc_util.m out of hlds_pred.m.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/hlds_proc_util.m:
    As above. hlds_proc_util.m now contains utility predicates
    that most modules that import hlds_pred.m don't need.
    (More than four times as many modules import hlds_pred.m
    as now import hlds_proc_util.m.)

2a1c2bb88a Make quantification using var_tables the default.
compiler/quantification.m:
    Add a "_vs" suffix to the names of predicates that use varsets, and
    delete the "_vt" suffix from the names of predicates that use var_tables.

    Keep private a predicate that now has no callers outside this module.

    Shorten the names of some function symbols.

compiler/recompute_instmap_deltas.m:
    Shorten the names of some function symbols.

compiler/equiv_type_hlds.m:
    Give a predicate a more meaningful name.

d787ee9355 Store var_tables in proc_infos.
This fixes the performance problem reported in Mantis bug #562.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    Instead of storing a varset and a vartypes in each proc_info,
    store just a var_table. Update the predicates that create
    or clone procedures accordingly.

    Where we had operations on proc_infos that had two versions,
    one operating on a varset/vartypes pair and one operating on var_table,
    keep only the latter, with the (shorter) name of the former.

    Delete the arity argument of proc_info_init, because the only
    valid value of that argument is the length of the list of the
    argument types. (In other words, this arg has been redundant
    all along.)

    Change the operations that create new variables in a procedure
    to get the caller to specify the (base) name of the new variable
    up front.

    Delete the unused predicate proc_info_ensure_unique_names.

compiler/type_util.m:
    Due to the change above, we now construct var_tables during the
    construction of the HLDS. The code that does that needs to fill in
    the field that says whether the type of each variable in the table
    is a dummy type or not. However, at this time, the pass that decides
    type representations has not been run yet. The code of is_type_a_dummy
    used to throw an exception in such situations.

    Change this so that in such situations, is_type_a_dummy returns
    a placeholder, not-guaranteed-to-be-correct value. Document why
    this is ok.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
    Replace the placeholder values in vte_is_dummy fields in all
    the entries in the var_tables in all (valid) predicates with valid data.
    (If there are any invalid predicates, the compilation will fail anyway.)
    The clause_to_proc pass will copy these updated var_tables
    to be the initial var_tables in procedures.

compiler/make_goal.m:
    Change the operations that create new variables in a procedure
    to get the caller to specify the (base) name of the new variable
    up front. This is simpler than the old method, which created new
    variables without a name, and had the caller give them a name as
    a separate operation. And since var_tables need this info,
    get the caller to also specify whether the type is a dummy,
    if the type is not a builtin type which is known not to be a dummy.

compiler/var_table.m:
    Document the times when the types and is_dummy fields in var_table
    entries become meaningful.

    Fix a potential bug: when performing type substitutions in
    var_table entries, updating a variable's type may change whether
    that variable is a dummy or not, so recompute that info.
    It is quite possible that we *never* replace a nondummy type
    with a dummy type or vice versa, but in the absence of a convincing
    correctness argument for that proposition, better safe than sorry.

    Export the previously-private predicate transform_var_table
    to post_typecheck.

    Add code to implement the unused predicate deleted from hlds_pred.m:
    at the time I wrote it, I haven't yet realised that it was unused.
    The code I wrote here is therefore unused as well, so it is commented out.
    I did not delete it, because it may be useful later on.

      or adds entries to a var_table (since we now need the type table

compiler/float_regs.m:
compiler/lambda.m:
compiler/mark_tail_calls.m:
    Convert these passes to use var_tables instead of varsets and vartypes.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    Provide predicates to get and set "the var_table" of a procedure.
    The proc_info still stores varsets and vartypes, but these new predicates
    do the required conversions between representations. Likewise, provide
    a version of proc_info_create that takes a var_table argument instead
    of a varset and vartypes arguments. The new predicates should reduce
    the need for such conversions to be done elsewhere during the transition.

compiler/var_table.m:
    Provide a predicate to turn a var_table back into
    a <varset, vartypes> pair.

    Provide two transitional types, var_db and var_type_source, that
    provide either
    - the functionality of both a varset and a vartypes, or
    - just the functionality of a vartypes,
    using either those structure(s), or a var_table.

    Make it possible to allocate new variables from a var_table,
    by including in it a counter that takes on the role played by
    the var_supply in varsets.

    Provide a predicate to look up the types of several variables at once.

    Provide a way to construct a var_table from a reverse sorted assoc list.

compiler/vartypes.m:
    Provide a way to construct a var_table from a reverse sorted assoc list,
    to allow code to operate the same way on vartypes as on var_tables.

library/varset.m:
    Provide predicates to make the changes in var_table.m possible.
    They have to be exported, but they are in the second interface section,
    so they are not publicly documented.

compiler/quantification.m:
compiler/recompute_instmap_deltas.m:
compiler/goal_util.m:
    Provide versions of some exported predicates that take var_tables
    instead of varsets and vartypes, for use by the modules above.

    Rationalize the argument order of some predicates.

compiler/instmap.m:
    Generalize some existing predicates to take type information
    from either vartypes or var_tables, using a transitional mechanism
    now provided by var_table.m.

    Rationalize the argument order of some predicates.

compiler/inlining.m:
    Fix an unrelated bug that just happened to be tickled by the
    rest of this diff. When inlining a call, set the flag that calls
    for rerunning determinism analysis on the procedure in which the
    inlining takes place if the call has an argument variable that
    does not occur outside the call. We need to do this because
    ignoring the last output argument(s) of a call can reduce
    the max possible number of solutions of the call to one.

compiler/set_of_var.m:
    Provide a predicate needed by the fix in inlining.m.

compiler/prog_type.m:
    Give some predicates meaningful names, and create versions that
    return the same info in a different form (set instead of list).

3f3045c9e2 Get and set varsets/vartypes in proc_infos together.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    We eventually want to replace the varset and vartypes fields in
    each proc_info with a var_table, but it is not practical to do so
    at once; it will have to be done gradually, a few modules at most
    at a time. During this process, we will need a way either

    - to let already converted modules get a var_table out of the proc_info,
      and put an updated var_table back into a proc_info, even though
      proc_infos still contain varset and vartypes fields, or

    - to let not-yet-converted modules get varsets and vartypes out of the
      proc_info, and put updated varsets and vartypes back into a proc_info,
      even though proc_infos already store a var_table.

    The latter cannot be done in two halves (i.e. set the varset half
    of the var_table, and then set its vartypes half), and while the former
    *can* be done that way, it is more efficient to do them at the same time.

    Therefore as a first step, this diff replaces the indiviual getter
    and setter predicates of the varset and vartypes fields of proc_info
    with a getter that gets both and a setter that sets both.

    Put the varset and vartypes next to each other in a structure.

d76c7bf617 Break up inst_util.m and mode_util.m.
This step significantly improves module cohesion.

compiler/inst_abstract_unify.m:
    New module carved out of inst_util.m, which does abstract unifications
    on insts.

compiler/inst_merge.m:
    New module carved out of inst_util.m, which merges insts.

compiler/inst_lookup.m:
    New module carved partly out of inst_util.m and partly out of mode_util.m,
    which looks up insts in the module_info, and then possibly expands out
    the result.

compiler/mode_test.m:
    New module carved out of mode_util.m, whose predicates
    perform tests on modes.

compiler/mode_top_functor.m:
    New module carved out of mode_util.m, which computes top_functor_modes
    from modes.

compiler/inst_mode_type_prop.m:
    New module carved out of mode_util.m, which propagates type information
    into both insts and modes.

compiler/recompute_instmap_deltas.m:
    New module carved out of mode_util.m, which recomputes goals'
    instmap_deltas.

compiler/inst_test.m:
    Move here the predicates in inst_util.m that perform tests on insts.

compiler/inst_util.m:
compiler/mode_util.m:

compiler/check_hlds.m:

    contains inst_util.m and mode_util.m. (Some of these modules could
    be argued to fit better in the hlds package, but moving them there
    would not be desirable while they depend on code that is still in the
    check_hlds package.)

cc9912faa8 Don't import anything in packages.
Packages are modules whose only job is to serve as a container for submodules.
Modules like top_level.m, hlds.m, parse_tree.m and ll_backend.m are packages
in this (informal) sense.

Besides the include_module declarations for their submodules, most of the
packages in the compiler used to import some modules, mostly other packages
whose component modules their submodules may need. For example, ll_backend.m
used to import parse_tree.m. This meant that modules in the ll_backend package
did not have to import parse_tree.m before importing modules in the parse_tree
package.

However, this had a price. When we add a new module to the parse_tree package,
parse_tree.int would change, and this would require the recompilation of ALL
the modules in the ll_backend package, even the ones that did NOT import ANY
of the modules in the parse_tree package.

This happened even at one remove. Pretty much all modules in every one
of the backend have to import one or more modules in the hlds package,
and they therefore have import hlds.m. Since hlds.m imported transform_hlds.m,
any addition of a new middle pass to the transform_hlds package required
the recompilation of all backend modules, even in the usual case of the two
having nothing to do with each other.

This diff removes all import_module declarations from the packages,
and replaces them with import_module declarations in the modules that need
them. This includes only a SUBSET of their child modules and of the non-child
modules that import them.

62ec97d443 Report imports shadowed by other imports.
If a module has two or more import_module or use_module declarations
for the same module, (typically, but not always, one being in its interface
and one in its implementation), generate an informational message about
each redundant declaration if --warn-unused-imports is enabled.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
    We used to record the set of imported/used modules, and the set of
    modules imported/used in the interface of the current module. However,
    these sets

    - did not record the distinction between imports and uses;
    - did not allow distinction between single and multiple imports/uses;
    - did not record the locations of the imports/uses.

    The first distinction was needed only by module_qual.m, which *did*
    pay attention to it; the other two were not needed at all.

    To generate messages for imports/uses shadowing other imports/uses,
    we need all three, so change the data structure storing such information
    for *direct* imports to one that records all three of the above kinds
    of information. (For imports made by read-in interface and optimization
    files, the old set of modules approach is fine, and this diff leaves
    the set of thus *indirectly* imported module names alone.)

compiler/unused_imports.m:
    Use the extra information now available to generate a
    severity_informational message about any import or use that is made
    redundant by an earlier, more general import or use.

    Fix two bugs in the code that generated warnings for just plain unused
    modules.

    (1) It did not consider that a use of the builtin type char justified
    an import of char.m, but without that import, the type is not visible.

    (2) It scanned cons_ids in goals in procedure bodies, but did not scan
    cons_ids that have been put into the const_struct_db. (I did not update
    the code here when I added the const_struct_db.)

    Also, add a (hopefully temporary) workaround for a bug in
    make_hlds_passes.m, which is noted below.

    However, there are at least three problems that prevent us from enabling
    --warn-unused-imports by default.

    (1) In some places, the import of a module is used only by clauses for
    a predicate that also has foreign procs. When compiled in a grade that
    selects one of those foreign_procs as the implementation of the predicate,
    the clauses are discarded *without* being added to the HLDS at all.
    This leads unused_imports.m to generate an uncalled-for warning in such
    cases. To fix this, we would need to preserve the Mercury clauses for
    *all* predicates, even those with foreign procs, and do all the semantic
    checks on them before throwing them away. (I tried to do this once, and
    failed, but the task should be easier after the item list change.)

    (2) We have two pieces of code to generate import warnings. The one in
    unused_imports.m operates on the HLDS after type and mode checking,
    while module_qual.m operates on the parse tree before the creation of
    the HLDS. The former is more powerful, since it knows e.g. what types and
    modes are used in the bodies of predicates, and hence can generate warnings
    about an import being unused *anywhere* in a module, as opposed to just
    unused in its interface.

    If --warn-unused-imports is enabled, we will get two separate set of
    reports about an interface import being unused in the interface,
    *unless* we get a type or mode error, in which case unused_imports.m
    won't be invoked. But in case we do get such errors, we don't want to
    throw away the warnings from module_qual.m. We could store them and
    throw them away only after we know we won't need them, or just get
    the two modules to generate identical error_specs for each warning,
    so that the sort_and_remove_dups of the error specs will do the
    throwing away for us for free, if we get that far.

    (3) The valid/bug100.m test case was added as a regression test for a bug
    that was fixed in module_qual.m. However the bug is still present in
    unused_imports.m.

compiler/make_hlds_passes.m:
    Give hlds_module.m the extra information it now needs for each item_avail.

    Add an XXX for a bug that cannot be fixed right now: the setting of
    the status of abstract instances to abstract_imported. (The "abstract"
    part is correct; the "imported" part may not be.)

compiler/intermod.m:
compiler/try_expand.m:
compiler/xml_documentation.m:
    Conform to the change in hlds_module.m.

compiler/module_qual.m:
    Update the documentation of the relationship of this module
    with unused_imports.m.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
    Document a problem with the status of instance definitions.

compiler/hlds_out_module.m:
    Update the code that prints out the module_info to conform to the change
    to hlds_module.m.

    Print status information about instances, which was needed to diagnose
    one of the bugs in unused_imports.m. Format the output for instances
    nicer.

compiler/prog_item.m:
    Add a convenience predicate.

compiler/prog_data.m:
    Remove a type synonym that makes things harder to understand, not easier.

compiler/modules.m:
    Delete an XXX that asks for the feature this diff implements.
    Add another XXX about how that feature could be improved.

compiler/Mercury.options.m:
    Add some more modules to the list of modules on which the compiler
    should be invoked with --no-warn-unused-imports.

compiler/*.m:
library/*.m:
mdbcomp/*.m:
browser/*.m:
deep_profiler/*.m:
mfilterjavac/*.m:
    Delete unneeded imports. Many of these shadow other imports, and some
    are just plain unneeded, as shown by --warn-unused-imports. In a few
    modules, there were a *lot* of unneeded imports, but most had just
    one or two.

    In a few cases, removing an import from a module, because it *itself*
    does not need it, required adding that same import to those of its
    submodules which *do* need it.

    In a few cases, conform to other changes above.

tests/invalid/Mercury.options:
    Test the generation of messages about import shadowing on the existing
    import_in_parent.m test case (although it was also tested very thoroughly
    when giving me the information needed for the deletion of all the
    unneeded imports above).

tests/*/*.{m,*exp}:
    Delete unneeded imports, and update any expected error messages
    to expect the now-smaller line numbers.

04dec8c205 Carve vartypes.m, prog_detism.m and prog_rename.m out of prog_data.m.
Besides defining most of the types representing the smaller parts of
parse trees (parts smaller than items), prog_data.m also has many utility
predicates that operate on values of these types. Carve the three substantial
clusters of predicates out of prog_data.m, and move them into their own
modules, which are each imported by fewer modules than prog_data.m itself.

compiler/vartypes.m:
    New module containing the vartypes type and the predicates that operate
    on it. The new module has *much* better cohesion than the old prog_data.m.

    The vartypes type does not appear in any parse tree; it is used only
    in the HLDS. So make vartypes.m part of the hlds.m package, not
    parse_tree.m.

    Move three predicates that perform renamings and substitutions on vartypes
    here from prog_type_subst.m, since the latter is part of the parse_tree.m
    package, and thus doesn't have access to hlds.vartypes. Make private
    the service predicate that these three moved predicates used to rely on,
    since it has no other callers.

compiler/prog_detism.m:
    New module containing utility predicates that operate on determinisms
    and determinism components.

compiler/prog_rename.m:
    New module containing utility predicates that rename variables in
    various data structures.

    Remove the stuff now in the three new modules.

2d0bfc0674 The algorithm that decides whether the order independent state update
Estimated hours taken: 120
Branches: main

The algorithm that decides whether the order independent state update
transformation is applicable in a given module needs access to the list
of oisu pragmas in that module, and to information about the types
of variables in the procedures named in those pragmas. This diff
puts this information in Deep.procrep files, to make them available
to the autoparallelization feedback program, to which that algorithm
will later be added.

Compilers that have this diff will generate Deep.procrep files in a new,
slightly different format, but the deep profiler will be able to read
Deep.procrep files not just in the new format, but in the old format as well.

runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
	Add to module layout structures the fields holding the new information
	we want to put into Deep.procrep files. This means three things:

	- a bytecode array in module layout structures encoding the list
	  of oisu pragmas in the module;
	- additions to the bytecode arrays in procedure layout structures
	  mapping the procedure's variables to their types; and
	- a bytecode array containing the encoded versions of those types
	  themselves in the module layout structure. This allows us to
	  represent each type used in the module just once.

	Since there is now information in module layout structures that
	is needed only for deep profiling, as well as information that is
	needed only for debugging, the old arrangement that split a module's
	information between two structures, MR_ModuleLayout (debug specific
	info) and MR_ModuleCommonLayout (info used by both debugging and
	profiling), is no longer approriate. We could add a third structure
	containing profiling-specific info, but it is simpler to move
	all the info into just one structure, some of whose fields
	may not be used. This wastes only a few words of memory per module,
	but allows the runtime system to avoid unnecessary indirections.

runtime/mercury_types.h:
	Remove the type synonym for the deleted type.

runtime/mercury_grade.h:
	The change in mercury_stack_layout.h destroys binary compatibility
	with previous versions of Mercury for debug and deep profiling grades,
	so bump their grade-component-specific version numbers.

runtime/mercury_deep_profiling.c:
	Write out the information in the new fields in module layout
	structures, if they are filled in.

	Since this changes the format of the Deep.procrep file, bump
	its version number.

runtime/mercury_deep_profiling.h:
runtime/mercury_stack_layout.c:
	Conform to the change to mercury_stack_layout.h.

mdbcomp/program_representation.m:
	Add to module representations information about the oisu pragmas
	defined in that module, and the type table of the module.
	Optionally add to procedure representations a map mapping
	the variables of the procedure to their types.

	Rename the old var_table type to be the var_name_table type,
	since it contains just names. Make the var to type map separate,
	since it will be there only for selected procedures.

	Modify the predicates reading in module and procedure representations
	to allow them to read in the new representation, while still accepting
	the old one. Use the version number in the Deep.procrep file to decide
	which format to expect.

mdbcomp/rtti_access.m:
	Add functions to encode the data representations that this module
	also decodes.

	Conform to the changes above.

mdbcomp/feedback.automatic_parallelism.m:
	Conform the changes above.

mdbcomp/prim_data.m:
	Fix layout.

compiler/layout.m:
	Update the compiler's representation of layout structures
	to conform to the change to runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h.

compiler/layout_out.m:
	Output the new parts of module layout structures.

compiler/opt_debug.m:
	Allow the debugging of code referring to the new parts of
	module layout structures.

compiler/llds_out_file.m:
	Conform to the move to a single module layout structure.

compiler/prog_rep_tables.m:
	This new module provided mechanisms for building the string table
	and the type table components of module layouts. The string table
	part is old (it is moved here from stack_layout.m); the type table
	part is new.

	Putting this code in a module of its own allows us to remove
	a circular dependency between prog_rep.m and stack_layout.m;
	instead, both now just depend on prog_rep_tables.m.

compiler/ll_backend.m:
	Add the new module.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Describe the new module.

compiler/prog_rep.m:
	When generating the representation of a module for deep profiling,
	include the information needed by the order independent state update
	analysis: the list of oisu pragmas in the module, if any, and
	information about the types of variables in selected procedures.

	To avoid having these additions increasing the size of the bytecode
	representation too much, convert some fixed 32 bit numbers in the
	bytecode to use variable sized numbers, which will usually be 8 or 16
	bits.

	Do not use predicates from bytecode_gen.m to encode numbers,
	since there is nothing keeping these in sync with the code that
	reads them in mdbcomp/program_representation.m. Instead, use
	new predicates in program_representation.m itself.

compiler/stack_layout.m:
	Generate the new parts of module layouts.

	Remove the code moved to prog_rep_tables.m.

compiler/continuation_info.m:
compiler/proc_gen.m:
	Make some more information available to stack_layout.m.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Fix some formatting.

compiler/introduce_parallelism.m:
	Conform to the renaming of the var_table type.

compiler/follow_code.m:
	Fix the bug that used to cause the failure of the
	hard_coded/mode_check_clauses test case in deep profiling grades.

deep_profiler/program_representation_utils.m:
	Output the new parts of module and procedure representations,
	to allow the correctness of this change to be tested.

deep_profiler/mdprof_create_feedback.m:
	If we cannot read the Deep.procrep file, print a single error message
	and exit, instead of continuing with an analysis that will generate
	a whole bunch of error messages, one for each attempt to access
	a procedure's representation.

deep_profiler/mdprof_procrep.m:
	Give this program an option that specifies what file it is to
	look at; do not hardwire in "Deep.procrep" in the current directory.

deep_profiler/report.m:
	Add a report type that just prints the representation of a module.
	It returns the same information as mdprof_procrep, but from within
	the deep profiler, which can be more convenient.

deep_profiler/create_report.m:
deep_profiler/display_report.m:
	Respectively create and display the new report type.

b86f973fa9 Allow the use of Mercury abstract machine float registers for passing
Branches: main

Allow the use of Mercury abstract machine float registers for passing
double-precision float arguments in higher order calls.

In of itself this is not so useful for typical Mercury code.  However, as
all non-local procedures are potentially the targets of higher order calls,
without this change first order calls to non-local procedures could not use
float registers either.  That is the actual motivation for this change.

The basic mechanism is straightforward.  As before, do_call_closure_* is
invoked to place the closure's hidden arguments into r1, ..., rN, and extra
input arguments shifted into rN+1, etc.  With float registers, extra input
arguments may also be in f1, f2, etc. and the closure may also have hidden
float arguments.  Optimising for calls, we order the closure's hidden
arguments so that all float register arguments come after all regular
register arguments in the vector.  Having the arguments out of order does
complicate code which needs to deconstruct closures, but that is not so
important.

Polymorphism complicates things.  A closure with type pred(float) may be
passed to a procedure expecting pred(T).  Due to the `float' argument type,
the closure expects its argument in a float register.  But when passed to the
procedure, the polymorphic argument type means it would be called with the
argument in a regular register.

Higher-order insts already contain information about the calling convention,
without which a higher-order term cannot be called.  We extend higher-order
insts to include information about the register class required for each
argument.  For example, we can distinguish between:

	pred(in) is semidet /* arg regs: [reg_f] */
and
	pred(in) is semidet /* arg regs: [reg_r] */

Using this information, we can create a wrapper around a higher-order
variable if it appears in a context requiring a different calling convention.
We do this in a new HLDS pass, called float_regs.m.

Note: Mercury code has a tendency to lose insts for higher-order terms, then
"recover" them by hacky means.  The float_regs pass depends on higher-order
insts; it is impossible to create a wrapper for a procedure without knowing
how to call it.  The float_regs pass will report errors which we otherwise
accepted, due to higher-order insts being unavailable.  It should be possible
for the user to adjust the code to satisfy the pass, though the user may not
understand why it should be necessary.  In most cases, it probably really
*is* unnecessary.  We may be able to make the float_regs pass more tolerant
of missing higher-order insts in the future.

Class method calls do not use float registers because I didn't want to deal
with them yet.


compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
	Always enable float registers in low-level C grades when floats are
	wider than a word.

compiler/make_hlds_passes.m:
	Always allow double word floats to be stored unboxed in cells on C
	grades.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add an extra field to `generic_call' which gives the register class
	to use for each argument.  This is set by the float_regs pass.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add an extra field to `pred_inst_info' which records the register class
	to use for each argument.  This is set by the float_regs pass.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add a field to `proc_sub_info' which lists the headvars which must be
	passed via regular registers despite their types.

	Add a field to `pred_sub_info' to record the original unsubstituted
	argument types for instance method predicates.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	In the pred_info of an instance method predicate, record the original
	argument types before substituting the type variables for the instance.

compiler/float_regs.m:
compiler/transform_hlds.m:
	Add the new HLDS pass.

compiler/mercury_compile_middle_passes.m:
	Run the new pass if float registers are enabled.

compiler/lambda.m:
	Export the predicate to produce a predicate from a lambda.
	This is reused by float_regs.m to create wrapper closures.

	Add an argument to `expand_lambda' to set the reg_r_headvars field on
	the newly created procedure.

	Delete some unused fields from `lambda_info'.

compiler/arg_info.m:
	Make `generate_proc_arg_info' no longer always use regular registers
	for calls to exported procedures.  Do always use regular registers for
	class methods calls.

	Add a version of `make_arg_infos' which takes an explicit list of
	argument registers.  Rename the previous version.

	Add `generic_call_arg_reg_types' to return the argument registers
	for a generic call.

	Add a version of `compute_in_and_out_vars' which additionally separates
	arguments for float and regular registers.

compiler/call_gen.m:
	Use float registers for argument passing in higher-order calls, as
	directed by the new field in `generic_call'.

	Add a function to encode the number of regular and float register
	arguments when making a higher-order call.

	Say that the `do_call_closure_N' functions only work for zero float
	register arguments.

compiler/follow_vars.m:
compiler/interval.m:
	Account for the use of float registers by generic call goals in these
	passes.

compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Move float register arguments to the end of a closure's hidden
	arguments vector, after regular register arguments.

	Count hidden regular and float register arguments separately, but
	encode them in the same word in the closure.  This is preferable to
	using two words because it reduces the differences between grades
	with and without float registers present.

	Disable generating code which creates a closure from an existing
	closure, if float registers exist.  That code does not understand the
	reordered hidden arguments vector yet.

compiler/continuation_info.m:
	Replace an argument's type_info in the closure layout if the argument
	is a float *and* is passed via a regular register, when floats are
	normally passed via float registers.  Instead, give it the type_info
	for `private_builtin.float_box'.

	Add function to return the type of `private_builtin.float_box/0'.

compiler/hlds_out_goal.m:

	Dump the new fields added to `generic_call', `pred_inst_info' and

	Add helper predicate.

compiler/*.m:
	Conform to changes.

	Add a type `float_box'.

runtime/mercury_ho_call.h:

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Add helper function.

585c1d623c Fix a problem with from_ground_term scopes.
Estimated hours taken: 20
Branches: main

Fix a problem with from_ground_term scopes. When they are built, the scopes
are tentantively marked as from_ground_term_construct scopes, and the
unifications inside them are in a top down order. Mode analysis therefore
expected the unifications inside from_ground_term_construct scopes to have
that order.

The problem was that mode analysis, when it confirmed that a
from_ground_term scope is indeed a from_ground_term_construct scope,
itself reversed the order of the unifications, putting them in a bottom up
order. When mode analysis is reinvoked, either for unique mode checking, or
after cse_detection finds common subexpressions, this meant that
mode analysis found the unifications in the "wrong" order, and therefore
disregarded the scope, discarding all its performance benefits.

This diff separates out the two notions that we previously conflated.
The scope kind from_ground_term_construct now refers only to scopes
which are definitely known to construct ground terms. We can know that
only after mode analysis. Until then, from_ground_term scopes are now marked
as from_ground_term_initial. The two kinds have different though overlapping
sets of invariants; in particular, they promise different orderings of the
unifications in the scope.

This diff reduces the time needed to compile mas_objects.data.m
from about 221 seconds to about 8.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add the from_ground_term_initial kind. Document the invariants
	that each kind of from_ground_term scope promises.

compiler/superhomogeneous.m:
	Mark from_ground_term scopes initially as from_ground_term_initial,
	not from_ground_term_construct.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	Make the predicate that converts function calls that look like
	unifications (such as X = int.min) into actual function calls
	say whether it performed such a conversion.

compiler/purity.m:
	Use the new functionality in post_typecheck.m to convert
	from_ground_term_initial scopes into from_ground_term_other scopes
	if the conversion of a unification into a call means that we have to
	break an invariant expected of from_ground_term_initial scopes.

compiler/cse_detection.m:
compiler/switch_detection.m:
	Maintain the invariants we now expect of from_ground_term_deconstruct
	scopes.

compiler/modecheck_goal.m:
	Maintain the invariants we now expect of the different
	from_ground_term scopes.

	Avoid traversing such scopes if a previous invocation of mode analysis
	says we can.

	Optimize away from_ground_term_construct scopes if the variable being
	constructed is not needed later.

compiler/quantification.m:
	If the variable named in a from_ground_term_initial or
	from_ground_term_construct scope is not referred to outside the scope,
	set the nonlocals set of the scope to empty, which allows later
	compiler passes to optimize it away.

Estimated hours taken: 12
Branches: main

Switch from using set(prog_var), which is represented using set_ordlist,
to set_of_progvar, which is represented using tree_bitset, for most sets
of variables in the compiler, including the nonlocals sets in goal_infos.

This diff yields about a 5% speedup when compiling the training_cars_full.m
stress test, but also about a 1% slowdown on tools/speedtest. Both of these
are with the current default state in which tree_bitset is compiled with
a whole bunch of sanity checks. If these are disabled, we get roughly a 1%
speedup on tools/speedtest. I intend to disable those sanity checks after
a shakedown period of a week or two in which the updated version of the
compiler is installed on our platforms.

Estimated hours taken: 16
Branches: main

Eliminate dependencies between the processing of different predicates or
procedures in as many cases as possible in passes_aux.m and in optimize.m,
so that they can be processed in parallel.

The effect of this diff on performance is negligible (a 0.1% speedup,
within the noise limit).

compiler/passes_aux.m:
	Don't export predicates that do not need to be exported. Since they
	were each used for one thing, inline them into their callers.

	Simplify the main traversal predicates to do just what is needed,
	and specialize them to their tasks. For tasks that do not update
	the module_info, the I/O state or anything else while updating
	a proc_info, allow the procedures of the module to be processed
	in parallel.

	Use a systematic naming scheme for the tasks. Use pred_proc_ids

	unnecessary variations in whether the predicates invoked by the tasks
	need the pred_id, the proc_id or both.

77a6a6c10c Implement several more changes that together speed up compilation time
Estimated hours taken: 16
Branches: main

Implement several more changes that together speed up compilation time
on training_cars_full by 12%, and also improve tools/speedtest -h by 7.2%
and tools/speedtest by 1.6%.

The first change is designed to eliminate the time that the compiler spends
constructing error messages that are then ignored. The working predicates of
prog_io_sym_name used to always return a single result, which either gave
a description of the thing being looked, or an error message. However,
in many places, the caller did not consider not finding the thing being looked
for to be an error, and thus threw away the error message, keeping only
the "not found" indication. For each predicate with such callers, this diff
provides a parallel predicate that indicates "not found" simply by failing.
This allows us to eliminate the construction of the error message, the
preparation for the construction of the error message (usually by describing
the context), and the construction of the "ok" wrapper.

The second change is to specialize the handling of from_ground_term_construct
scopes in the termination analyzer. To make this easier, I also cleaned up
of the infrastructure of the termination analyzer.

The third change is to avoid traversing from_ground_term_construct scopes
in quantification.m when finding the variables in a goal, since termination
analysis no longer needs the information it gathers.

The fourth change is to avoid traversing second and later conjuncts in
conjunctions twice. The first step in handling conjunctions is to call
implicitly_quantify_conj, which builds up a data structure that pairs each
conjunct with the variables that occur free in all the conjuncts following it.
However, after this was done and each conjunct was annotated with its
nonlocals, we used to compute the variables that occur free in the conjunction
as a whole from scratch. This diff changes the code so that we now compute that
set based on the information we gathered earlier, avoiding a redundant
traversal.

The fifth change is to create specialized, lower-arity versions of many of
the predicates in quantification.m. These versions are intended for traversals
that take place after the compiler has replaced lambda expressions with
references to separate procedures. These traversals do not need to pass around
arguments representing the variables occurring free in the (now non-existent)
lambda expressions.

compiler/prog_io_sym_name.m:
	Make the first change described above.

	Change some predicate names to adopt a consistent naming scheme
	in which predicates that do the same job and differ only in how they
	handle errors have names that differ only in a "try_" prefix.

	Add some predicate versions that do common tests on the output
	of the base versions. For example, try_parse_sym_name_and_no_args
	is a version of try_parse_sym_name_and_args that insists on finding
	an empty argument list.

	Remove the unused "error term" argument that we used to need a while
	ago.

	Move some predicate definitions to make their order match the order of
	their declarations.

	Turn a predicate into a function for its caller's convenience.

compiler/term_constr_build.m:
	Make the second change described above by modeling each
	from_ground_term_construct scope as a single unification,
	assigning the total size of the ground term to the variable being
	built.

compiler/term_constr_util.m:
	Put the arguments of some predicates into a more standard order.

compiler/lp_rational.m:
	Change the names of some function symbols to avoid both the use of
	graphic characters that require quoting and clashes with other types.

	Change the names of some predicates to make their purpose clear,
	and to avoid ambiguity.

compiler/quantification.m:
	Make the third, fourth and fifth changes described above.

	Conform to the changes above.

5ad9a27793 Speed up the compiler's handling of code that constructs large ground terms
Estimated hours taken: 80
Branches: main

Speed up the compiler's handling of code that constructs large ground terms
by specializing the treatment of such code.

This diff reduces the compilation time for training_cars_full.m from 106.9
seconds to 30.3 seconds on alys, my laptop. The time on tools/speedtest
stays pretty much the same.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Record the classification of from_ground_term scopes as purely
	constructing terms, purely deconstructing them or something other.

	Fix an old potential bug: variables inside the construct_how fields
	of unifications weren't being renamed along with other variables.
	This is a bug if any part of the compiler later looks at those
	variables. (I am not sure whether or not this happens.)

compiler/superhomogenous.m:
	Provisionally mark newly constructed static terms as being
	from_ground_term_construct. Mode checking will either confirm this
	or change the scope kind.

compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
	Add a new option, from_ground_term_threshold, that allows the user to
	set the boundary between ground terms that get scopes and ground terms
	do not. I plan to experiment with different settings later.

compiler/modes.m:
	Make this classification. For scopes that construct ground terms,
	use a specialized algorithm that avoids quadratic behavior.
	(It does not access the unify_inst_table, which is where the
	factor of N other than the length of the goal list came from.)
	The total size of the instmap_deltas, if printed out, still looks like
	O(N^2) in size, but due to structure sharing it needs only O(N) memory.

	For scopes that construct ground terms, set the determinism information
	so that det_analysis.m doesn't have to traverse such scopes.

	When handling disjunctions, check whether some nonlocals of the
	disjunctions are constructed by from_ground_term_construct scopes.
	For any such nonlocals, set their insts to just ground, throwing away
	the precise information we have about exactly what function symbols
	they and ALL their subterms are bound to. This is HUGE win, since
	it allows us avoid spending a lot of time building a huge merge_inst
	table, which later passes of the compiler (e.g. equiv_type_hlds) would
	then have to spend similarly huge times traversing.

	This approach does have a down side. If lots of arms of a disjunction
	bind a nonlocal to a large ground term, but a few bind it to a SMALL
	ground term, a term below the from_ground_term_threshold, this
	optimization won't kick in. That could be one purpose of the new
	option. It isn't documented yet; I will seek feedback about its
	usefulness first.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
	Handle the three different kinds of right hand sides separately.
	This yields a small speedup, because now we don't test rhs_vars and
	rhs_functors (the common right hand sides) for a special case
	(goals containing "any" insts) that is applicable only to
	rhs_lambda_goals.

compiler/unique_modes.m:
	Don't traverse scopes that construct ground terms, since modes.m has
	already done everything that needs to be done.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Don't traverse scopes that construct ground terms, since modes.m has
	already done the needed work.

compiler/instmap.m:
	Add a new predicate for use by modes.m.

	Many predicate names in this module were quite uninformative; give them
	informative names.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	If this pass invalidates the from_ground_term_construct invariants,
	then mark the relevant scope as from_ground_term_other.

	Delete two unused access predicates.

compiler/equiv_type_hlds.m:
	Don't traverse scopes that construct ground terms, since modes.m
	ensures that their instmap deltas do not contain typed insts, and
	thus the scope cannot contain types that need to be expanded.

	Convert some predicates to single clauses.

compiler/goal_form.m:
compiler/goal_util.m:
	In predicates that test goals for various properties, don't traverse
	scopes that construct ground terms when the outcome of the test
	is the same for all such scopes.

	Convert some predicates to single clauses.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Do not look for common structs in from_ground_term_construct scopes,
	both because this speeds up the compiler, and because retaining
	references to ground terms is in fact a pessimization, not an
	optimization. This is because (a) those references need to be stored in
	stack slots across calls, and (b) the C code generators ensure that
	the cells representing ground terms will be shared as needed.

	If all arms of a switch are from_ground_term_construct scopes,
	do not merge the instmap_deltas from those arms, since this is
	both time-consuming (even after the other changes in this diff)
	and extremely unlikely to improve the instmap_delta.

	Disable common_struct in from_ground_term_construct scopes,
	since for these scopes, it is actually a pessimization.

	Do not delete from_ground_term_construct scopes, since many
	compiler passes can now use them.

	Do some manual deforestation, break up some large predicates,
	and give better names to some.

compiler/liveness.m
	Special-case the handling from_ground_term_construct scopes. This
	allows us to traverse them just once instead of three times, and this
	traversal is simpler and faster than any of the three.

	In some traversals, we were switching on the goal type twice; once
	in e.g. detect_liveness_in_goal_2, and once by calling
	goal_expr_has_subgoals. Eliminate the double switching by merging
	the relevant predicates. (The double-switching structure was easier
	to work with before we had multi-cons-id switches.)

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Move a lookup after a test, so we don't have to do it if the test
	fails.

	Provide a specialized mode for a predicate. This should allow the
	compiler to eliminate an argument and a test in the common case.

	Note a possible chance for a speedup.

compiler/typecheck_info.m:
	Don't apply empty substitutions to the types of a possibly very large
	set of variables.

compiler/quantification.m:
	Don't quantify from_ground_term_construct scopes. They are created
	correctly quantified, and any compiler pass that invalidates that
	quantification also removes the from_ground_term_construct mark.

	Don't apply empty renamings to a possibly very large set of variables.

	Move the code for handling scopes to its own predicate, to avoid
	overwhelming the code that handles other kinds of goals. Even from
	this, factor out the renaming code, since it is needed only for
	some kinds of scopes.

	Make some predicate names better reflect what the predicate does.

compiler/pd_cost.m:
	For from_ground_term_construct scopes, instead of computing their cost
	by adding up the costs of the goals inside, make their cost a constant,
	since binding a variable to a static term takes constant time.

cc88711d63 Implement true multi-cons_id arm switches, i.e. switches in which we associate
Estimated hours taken: 40
Branches: main

Implement true multi-cons_id arm switches, i.e. switches in which we associate
more than one cons_id with a switch arm. Previously, for switches like this:

	(
		X = a,
		goal1
	;
		( X = b
		; X = c
		),
		goal2
	)

we duplicated goal2. With this diff, goal2 won't be duplicated. We still
duplicate goals when that is necessary, i.e. in cases which the inner
disjunction contains code other than a functor test on the switched-on var,
like this:

	(
		X = a,
		goal1
	;
		(
			X = b,
			goalb
		;
			X = c
			goalc
		),
		goal2
	)

For now, true multi-cons_id arm switches are supported only by the LLDS
backend. Supporting them on the MLDS backend is trickier, because some MLDS
target languages (e.g. Java) don't support the concept at all. So when
compiling to MLDS, we still duplicate the goal in switch detection (although
we could delay the duplication to just before code generation, if we wanted.)

compiler/options.m:
	Add an internal option that tells switch detection whether to look for
	multi-cons_id switch arms.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Set this option based on the back end.

	Add a version of the "trans" dump level that doesn't print unification
	details.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Extend the representation of switch cases to allow more than one
	cons_id for a switch arm.

	Add a type for representing switches that also includes tag information
	(for use by the backends).

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	For du types, record whether it is possible to speed up tests for one
	cons_id (e.g. cons) by testing for the other (nil) and negating the
	result. Recording this information once is faster than having
	unify_gen.m trying to compute it from scratch for every single
	tag test.

	Add a type for representing a cons_id together with its tag.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Print out the cheaper_tag_test information for types, and possibly
	several cons_ids for each switch arm.

	Add some utility predicates for describing switch arms in terms of
	which cons_ids they are for.

	Replace some booleans with purpose-specific types.

	Make hlds_out honor is documentation, and not print out detailed
	information about unifications (e.g. uniqueness and static allocation)
	unless the right character ('u') is present in the control string.

compiler/add_type.m:
	Fill in the information about cheaper tag tests when adding a du type.

compiler/switch_detection.m:
	Extend the switch detection algorithm to detect multi-cons_id switch
	arms.

	When entering a switch arm, update the instmap to reflect that the
	switched-on variable can now be bound only to the cons_ids that this
	switch arm is for. We now need to do this, because if the arm contains
	another switch on the same variable, computing the can_fail field of
	that switch correctly requires us to know this information.
	(Obviously, an arm for a single cons_id is unlikely to have switch on
	the same variable, and for arms for several cons_ids, we previously
	duplicated the arm and left the unification with the cons_id in each
	copy, and this unification allowed the correct handling of any later
	switches. However, the code of a multi-cons_id switch arm obviously
	cannot have a unification with each cons_id in it, which is why
	we now need to get the binding information from the switch itself.)

	Replace some booleans with purpose-specific types, and give some
	predicates better names.

compiler/instmap.m:
	Provide predicates for recording that a switched-on variable has
	one of several given cons_ids, for use at the starts of switch arms.

	Give some predicates better names.

compiler/modes.m:
	Provide predicates for updating the mode_info at the start of a
	multi-cons_id switch arm.

compiler/det_report.m:
	Handle multi-cons_id switch arms.

	Update the instmap when entering each switch arm, since this is needed
	to provide good (i.e. non-misleading) error messages when one switch on
	a variable exists inside another switch on the same variable.

	Since updating the instmap requires updating the module_info (since
	the new inst may require a new entry in an inst table), thread the
	det_info through as updateable state.

	Replace some multi-clause predicate definitions with single clauses,
	to make it easier to print the arguments in mdb.

	Fix some misleading variable names.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Update the instmap when entering each switch arm and thread the
	det_info through as updateable state, since the predicates we call
	in det_report.m require this.

compiler/det_util.m:
	Handle multi-cons_id switch arms.

	Rationalize the argument order of some access predicates.

compiler/switch_util.m:
	Change the parts of this module that deal with string and tag switches
	to optionally convert each arm to an arbitrary representation of the
	arm. In the LLDS backend, the conversion process generated code for
	the arm, and the arm's representation is the label at the start of
	this code. This way, we can duplicate the label without duplicating
	the code.

	Add a new part of this module that associates each cons_id with its
	tag, and (during the same pass) checks whether all the cons_ids are
	integers, and if so what are min and max of these integers (needed
	for dense switches). This scan is needed because the old way of making
	this test had single-cons_id switch arms as one of its basic
	assumptions, and doing it while adding tags to each case reduces
	the number of traversals required.

	Give better names to some predicates.

compiler/switch_case.m:
	New module to handle the tasks associated with managing multi-cons_id
	switch arms, including representing them for switch_util.m.

compiler/ll_backend.m:
	Include the new module.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Note the new module.

compiler/llds.m:
	Change the computed goto instruction to take a list of maybe labels
	instead of a list of labels, with any missing labels meaning "not
	reached".

compiler/string_switch.m:
compiler/tag_switch.m:
	Reorganize the way these modules work. We can't generate the code of
	each arm in place anymore, since it is now possible for more than one
	cons_id to call for the execution of the same code. Instead, in
	string_switch.m, we generate the codes of all the arms all at once,
	and construct the hash index afterwards. (This approach simplifies
	the code significantly.)

	In tag switches (unlike string switches), we can get locality benefits
	if the code testing for a cons_id is close to the code for that
	cons_id, so we still try to put them next to each other when such
	a locality benefit is available.

	In both modules, the new approach uses a utility predicate in
	switch_case.m to actually generate the code of each switch arm,
	eliminating several copies the same code in the old versions of these
	modules.

	In tag_switch.m, don't create a local label that simply jumps to the
	code address do_not_reached. Previously, we had to do this for
	positions in jump tables that corresponded to cons_ids that the switch
	variable could not be bound to. With the change to llds.m, we now
	simply generate a "no" instead.

compiler/lookup_switch.m:
	Get the info about int switch limits from our caller; don't compute it
	here.

	Give some variables better names.

compiler/dense_switch.m:
	Generate the codes of the cases all at once, then assemble the table,
	duplicate the labels as needed. This separation of concerns allows
	significant simplifications.

	Pack up all the information shared between the predicate that detects
	whether a dense switch is appropriate and the predicate that actually
	generates the dense switch.

	Move some utility predicates to switch_util.

compiler/switch_gen.m:
	Delete the code for tagging cons_ids, since that functionality is now
	in switch_util.m.

	The old version of this module could call the code generator to produce
	(i.e. materialize) the switched-on variable repeatedly. We now produce
	the variable once, and do the switch on the resulting rval.

compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Use the information about cheaper tag tests in the type constructor's
	entry in the HLDS type table, instead of trying to recompute it
	every time.

	Provide the predicates switch_gen.m now needs to perform tag tests
	on rvals, as opposed to variables, and against possible more than one
	cons_id.

	Allow the caller to provide the tag corresponding to the cons_id(s)
	in tag tests, since when we are generating code for switches, the
	required computations have already been done.

	Factor out some code to make all this possible.

	Give better names to some predicates.

compiler/code_info.m:
	Provide some utility predicates for the new code in other modules.
	Give better names to some existing predicates.

compiler/hlds_code_util.m:
	Rationalize the argument order of some predicates.

	Replace some multi-clause predicate definitions with single clauses,
	to make it easier to print the arguments in mdb.

b56885be93 Fix a bug that caused bootchecks with --optimize-constructor-last-call to fail.
Estimated hours taken: 12
Branches: main

Fix a bug that caused bootchecks with --optimize-constructor-last-call to fail.

The problem was not in lco.m, but in follow_code.m. In some cases,
(specifically, the LCMC version of insert_2 in sparse_bitset.m),
follow_code.m moved an impure goal (store_at_ref) into the arms of an
if-then-else without marking those arms, or the if-then-else, as impure.
The next pass, simplify, then deleted the entire if-then-else, since it
had no outputs. (The store_at_ref that originally appeared after the
if-then-else was the only consumer of its only output.)

The fix is to get follow_code.m to make branched control structures such as
if-then-elses, as well as their arms, semipure or impure if a goal being moved
into them is semipure or impure, or if they came from an semipure or impure
conjunction.

Improve the optimization of the LCMC version of sparse_bitset.insert_2, which
had a foreign_proc invocation of bits_per_int in it: replace such invocations
with a unification of the bits_per_int constant if not cross compiling.

Add a new option, --optimize-constructor-last-call-null. When set, LCMC will
assign NULLs to the fields not yet filled in, to avoid any junk happens to be
there from being followed by the garbage collector's mark phase.

This diff also makes several other changes that helped me to track down
the bug above.

compiler/follow_code.m:
	Make the fix described above.

	Delete all the provisions for --prev-code; it won't be implemented.

	Don't export a predicate that is not now used anywhere else.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Make the optimization described above.

compiler/lco.m:
	Make sure that the LCMC specialized procedure is a predicate, not a
	function: having a function with the mode LCMC_insert_2(in, in) = in
	looks wrong.

	To avoid name collisions when a function and a predicate with the same
	name and arity have LCMC applied to them, include the predicate vs
	function status of the original procedure included in the name of the
	new procedure.

	Update the sym_name of calls to LCMC variants, not just the pred_id,
	because without that, the HLDS dump looks misleading.

compiler/pred_table.m:
	Don't have optimizations like LCMC insert new predicates at the front
	of the list of predicates. Maintain the list of predicates in the
	module as a two part list, to allow efficient addition of new pred_ids
	at the (logical) end without using O(N^2) algorithms. Having predicates
	in chronological order makes it easier to look at HLDS dumps and
	.c files.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Make module_info_predids return a module_info that is physically
	updated though logically unchanged.

compiler/options.m:
	Add --optimize-constructor-last-call-null.

	Make the options --dump-hlds-pred-id, --debug-opt-pred-id and
	--debug-opt-pred-name into accumulating options, to allow the user
	to specify more than one predicate to be dumped (e.g. insert_2 and
	its LCMC variant).

	Delete --prev-code.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document the changes in options.m.

compiler/code_info.m:
	Record the value of --optimize-constructor-last-call-null in the
	code_info, to avoid lookup at every cell construction.

compiler/unify_gen.m:
compiler/var_locn.m:
	When deciding whether a cell can be static or not, make sure that
	we never make static a cell that has some fields initialized with
	dummy zeros, to be filled in for real later.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	For goals that are semipure or impure, note this fact. This info was
	lost when I changed the representation of impurity from markers to a
	field.

mdbcomp/prim_data.m:
	Rename some ambiguous function symbols.

compiler/intermod.m:
compiler/trans_opt.m:
	Rename the main predicates (and some function symbols) of these modules
	to avoid ambiguity and to make them more expressive.

	specified --no-line-numbers.

compiler/make.dependencies.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:

	The compiler still contains some uses of io.write, but they are
	for debugging. I added an item to the todo list of the one exception,
	ilasm.m.

compiler/recompilation.m:
	Rename a misleading function symbol name.

compiler/parse_tree.m:
	Don't import recompilation.m here. It is not needed (all the components

ba93a52fe7 This diff changes a few types from being defined as equivalent to a pair
Estimated hours taken: 10
Branches: main

This diff changes a few types from being defined as equivalent to a pair
to being discriminated union types with their own function symbol. This
was motivated by an error message (one of many, but the one that broke
the camel's back) about "-" being used in an ambiguous manner. It will
reduce the number of such messages in the future, and will make compiler
data structures easier to inspect in the debugger.

The most important type changed by far is hlds_goal, whose function symbol
is now "hlds_goal". Second and third in importance are llds.instruction
(function symbol "llds_instr") and prog_item.m's item_and_context (function
symbol "item_and_context"). There are some others as well.

In several places, I rearranged predicates to factor the deconstruction of
goals into hlds_goal_expr and hlds_goal_into out of each clause into a single
point. In many places, I changed variable names that used "Goal" to refer
to just hlds_goal_exprs to use "GoalExpr" instead. I also changed variable
names that used "Item" to refer to item_and_contexts to use "ItemAndContext"
instead. This should make reading such code less confusing.

I renamed some function symbols and predicates to avoid ambiguities.

I only made one algorithmic change (at least intentionally).
In assertion.m, comparing two goals for equality now ignores goal_infos
for all kinds of goals, whereas previously it ignored them for most kinds
of goals, but for shorthand goals it was insisting on them being equal.
This seemed to me to be a bug. Pete, can you confirm this?

9d23d8e2e7 Implement the trace goal construct we discussed, for now for the LLDS backends
Estimated hours taken: 70
Branches: main

Implement the trace goal construct we discussed, for now for the LLDS backends
only.

Since the syntax of trace goals is non-trivial, useful feedback on syntax
errors inside trace goal attributes is essential. With the previous setup, this
wasn't possible, since the code that turned terms into parse tree goals turned
*all* terms into goals; it couldn't recognize any errors, sweeping them under
the rug as calls. This diff changes that. Now, if this code recognizes a
keyword that indicates a particular construct, it insists on the rest of the
code following the syntax required for that construct, and returns error
messages if it doesn't.

We handle the trace goal attributes that specify state variables to be threaded
through the trace goal (either the I/O state or a mutable variable) in
add_clause.m, at the point at which we transform the list of items to the HLDS.
We handle the compile-time condition on trace goals in the invocation of
simplify at the end of semantics analysis, by eliminating the goal if the
compile-time condition isn't met. We handle run-time conditions on trace goals
partially in the same invocation of simplify: we transform trace goals with
runtime conditions into an if-then-else with the trace goal as the then part
and `true' as the else part, the condition being a foreign_proc that is handled
specially by the code generator, that special handling being to replace
the actual code of the foreign_proc (which is a dummy) with the evaluation of
the runtime condition.

Since these changes require significant changes to some of our key data
structures, I took the liberty of doing some renaming of function symbols
at the same time to avoid using ambiguities with respect to language keywords.

library/ops.m:
	Add "trace" as an operator.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Define data types to represent the various attributes of trace goals.

	Rename some function symbols to avoid ambiguities.

compiler/prog_item.m:
	Extend the parse tree representation of goals with a trace goal.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Output the new kind of goal and its components.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Extend the HLDS representation of scopes with a scope_reason
	representing trace goals.

	Add a mechanism (an extra argument in foreign_procs) to allow
	the representation of goals that evaluate runtime trace conditions.

	Since this requires modifying all code that traverses the HLDS,
	do some renames that were long overdue: rename not as negation,
	rename call as plain_call, and rename foreign_proc as
	call_foreign_proc. These renames all avoid using language keywords
	as function symbols.

	Change the way we record goals' purities. Instead of optional features
	to indicate impure or semipure, which is error-prone, use a plain
	field in the goal_info, accessed in the usual way.

	Add a way to represent that a goal contains a trace goal, and should
	therefore be treated as if it were impure when considering whether to
	optimize it away.

	Reformat some comments describing function symbols.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Output the new construct in the HLDS.

compiler/prog_io_util.m:
	Generalize the maybe[123] types to allow the representation of more
	than one error message. Add functions to extract the error messages.
	Add a maybe4 type. Rename the function symbols of these types to
	avoid massive ambiguity.

	Change the order of some predicates to bring related predicates
	next to each other.

compiler/prog_io.m:
compiler/prog_io_dcg.m:
compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Rework these modules almost completely to find and accumulate syntax
	errors as terms are being parsed. In some cases, this allowed us to
	replace "XXX this is a hack" markers with meaningful error-reporting
	code.

	In prog_io_goal.m, add code for parsing trace goals.

	In a bunch of places, update obsolete coding practices, such as using
	nested chains of closures instead of simple sequential code, and
	using A0 and A to refer to values of different types (terms and goals
	respectively). Use more meaningful variable names.

	Break up some too-large predicates.

compiler/superhomogeneous.m:
	Find and accumulate syntax errors as terms are being parsed.

compiler/add_clause.m:
	Add code to transform trace goals from the parse tree to the HLDS.
	This is where the IO state and mutable variable attributes of trace
	goals are handled.

	Eliminate the practice of using the naming scheme Body0 and Body
	to refer to values of different types (prog_item.goal and hlds_goal
	respectively).

	Use error_util for some error messages.

library/private_builtin.m:
	Add the predicates referred to by the transformation in add_clause.m.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Rename a predicate to avoid ambiguity.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Do not print error messages about missing clauses if some errors have
	been detected previously.

compiler/purity.m:
	Instead of just computing purity, compute (and record) also whether
	a goal contains a trace goal. However, treat trace goals as pure.

compiler/mode_info.m:
	Add trace goals as a reason for locking variables.

	Rename some function symbols to avoid ambiguity.

compiler/modes.m:
	When analyzing trace goal scopes, lock the scope's nonlocal variables
	to prevent them from being further instantiated.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Insist on the code in trace goal scopes being det or cc_multi.

compiler/det_report.m:
	Generate the error message if the code in a trace goal scope isn't det
	or cc_multi.

compiler/simplify.m:
	At the end of the front end, eliminate trace goal scopes if their
	compile-time condition is false. Transform trace goals with runtime
	conditions as described at the top.

	Treat goals that contain trace goals as if they were impure when
	considering whether to optimize them away.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Tell simplify when it is being invoked at the end of the front end.

	Rename a predicate to avoid ambiguity.

compiler/trace_params.m:
	Provide the predicates simplify.m need to be able to evaluate the trace
	goal conditions regarding trace levels.

compiler/trace.m:
compiler/trace_gen.m:
	Rename the trace module as trace_gen, since "trace" is now an operator.

	Rename some predicates exported by the module, now that it is no longer
	possible to preface calls with "trace." as a module qualifier.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Document this name change.

compiler/options.m:
	Rename the trace option as trace_level internally, since "trace"
	is now an operator. The user-visible name remains the same.

	Add the new --trace-flag option.

	Delete an obsolete option.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Rename the function symbols of the grade_component type,
	since "trace" is now an operator.

compiler/llds.m:
	Extend the LLDS with a mechanism to refer to C global variables.
	For now, these are used to refer to C globals that will be created
	by mkinit to represent the initial values of the environment variables
	referred to by trace goals.

compiler/commit_gen.m:
	Check that no trace goal with a runtime condition survives to code
	generation; they should have been transformed by simplify.m.

compiler/code_gen.m:
	Tell commit_gen.m what kind of scope it is generating code for.

compiler/*.m:
	Convert almost all the compiler modules to use . instead of __ as
	the module qualifier.

	In some cases, change the names of predicates and types to make them
	meaningful without the module qualifier. In particular, most of the
	types that used to be referred to with an "mlds__" prefix have been
	changed to have a "mlds_" prefix instead of changing the prefix to
	"mlds.".

	There are no algorithmic changes.

Estimated hours taken: 5
Branches: main

Prepare for an extension of promise_equivalent_solutions that will allow us
to better handle values of user-defined types. The problem is that currently,
the deconstruction of a value of such a type can be followed only by code that
cannot fail, otherwise the cc_multi deconstruction is not in the required
single-solution context. If the following code is naturally semidet, this
can be worked around by turning it into det code returning a maybe and testing
the maybe outside the promise_equivalent_solutions, but this is inefficient,
and in any case it does not generalize to nondet code without even more
horrendous inefficiency and inconvenience. (You have to create a nondet closure
and call it outside the promise_equivalent_solutions.)

The solution I came up with is something is to have a construct that contains

	- a list of deconstructions on types with user-defined equality,
	- a goal, and
	- the list of outputs of that goal.

The idea is that this would be transformed into a conjunction of the first and
second items, and wrapped inside a special kind of conj that provides a scope
for the implicit promise, which is that the set of solutions of the goal in
the second item doesn't depend on what concrete terms the deconstructions
in the first item return out of the set of concrete terms they *could* return.
The deconstructions in the first item would be marked to tell determinism
analysis to effectively ignore the fact that they involve user-defined
equality.

The actual addition of that construct is left for a future change, after we
agree on the syntax.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Generalize the existing promise_equivalent_solutions scope to a
	promise_solutions scope with a flag that says whether in the source
	code it was originally the existing "promise_equivalent_solutions"
	construct or the new construct (which doesn't exist yet, but is
	indicated by the symbol "same_solutions" for now).

	Replace the conj and par_conj hlds_goal_exprs with a single goal
	expression: conj with an additional argument which is either plain_conj
	or parallel_conj. This was part of an earlier design in which a third
	kind of disjunction took the role now assigned to the new kind of
	promise_solutions scope, but turned out to be a good idea anyway,
	since in many places the compiler does treat the two kinds of
	conjunctions the same. This part of the change is responsible for the
	fact that this change results in a net *reduction* of about 40 lines.

	Move the most frequently used kinds of goal expressions to the front
	of the type declaration to allow the compiler to make better decisions
	about tag allocation.

	Add the goal marker we will add to the deconstructions in the first
	item.

	Replace the true_goal and fail_goal predicates with functions to make
	them easier to use, and rename their variants that take a context
	argument to avoid unnecessary ambiguity.

compiler/*.m:
	Conform to the change in hlds_goal.m.

	Misc changes to make code more robust, e.g. replacing semidet
	predicates on goal expressions with functions returning bool.

	Misc cleanups, e.g. removal of unnecessary module qualifications
	that made lines too long, renaming predicates whose names include
	"disj" if they are also used to process parallel conjunctions (since in
	both parallel conjunctions and in disjunctions the goals are
	independent), and turning semidet predicates that switch on goal
	expressions into bool functions (to make similar changes more rebust
	in the future).

Various cleanups for the modules in the compiler directory.  The are
no changes to algorithms except the replacement of some if-then-elses
that would naturally be switches with switches and the replacement of
most of the calls to error/1.

compiler/*.m:
	Convert calls to error/1 to calls to unexpected/2 or sorry/2 as
	appropriate throughout most or the compiler.

	Fix inaccurate assertion failure messages, e.g. identifying the
	assertion failure as taking place in the wrong module.

	Add :- end_module declarations.

	Fix formatting problems and bring the positioning of comments
	into line with our current coding standards.

	Fix some overlong lines.

	Convert some more modules to 4-space indentation.  Fix some spots
	where previous conversions to 4-space indentation have stuffed
	the formatting of the code up.

	Fix a bunch of typos in comments.

	Use state variables in more places; use library predicates
	from the sv* modules where appropriate.

	Delete unnecessary and duplicate module imports.

	Misc. other small cleanups.

f9fe8dcf61 Improve the error messages generated for determinism errors involving committed
Estimated hours taken: 8
Branches: main

Improve the error messages generated for determinism errors involving committed
choice contexts. Previously, we printed a message to the effect that e.g.
a cc pred is called in context that requires all solutions, but we didn't say
*why* the context requires all solutions. We now keep track of all the goals
to the right that could fail, since it is these goals that may reject the first
solution of a committed choice goal.

The motivation for this diff was the fact that I found that locating the
failing goal can be very difficult if the conjunction to the right is
a couple of hundred lines long. This would have been a nontrivial problem,
since (a) unifications involving values of user-defined types are committed
choice goals, and (b) we can expect uses of user-defined types to increase.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Keep track of goals to the right of the current goal that could fail,
	and include them in the error representation if required.

compiler/det_report.m:
	Include the list of failing goals to the right in the representations
	of determinism errors involving committed committed choice goals.

	Convert the last part of this module that wasn't using error_util
	to use error_util. Make most parts of this module just construct
	error message specifications; print those specifications (using
	error_util) in only a few places.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Add a function for use by the new code in det_report.m.

compiler/error_util.m:
	Add a function for use by the new code in det_report.m.

compiler/error_util.m:
compiler/compiler_util.m:
	Error_util is still changing reasonably often, and yet it is
	included in lots of modules, most of which need only a few simple
	non-parse-tree-related predicates from it (e.g. unexpected).
	Move those predicates to a new module, compiler_util.m. This also
	eliminates some undesirable dependencies from libs to parse_tree.

compiler/libs.m:
	Include compiler_util.m.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Document compiler_util.m, and fix the documentation of some other
	modules.

compiler/*.m:
	Import compiler_util instead of or in addition to error_util.
	To make this easier, consistently use . instead of __ for module
	qualifying module names.

tests/invalid/det_errors_cc.{m,err_exp}:
	Add this new test case to test the error messages for cc contexts.

tests/invalid/det_errors_deet.{m,err_exp}:
	Add this new test case to test the error messages for unifications
	inside function symbols.

tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
	Add the new test cases.

tests/invalid/det_errors.err_exp:
tests/invalid/magicbox.err_exp:
	Change the expected output to conform to the change in det_report.m,
	which is now more consistent.
