Split parts of inst_match.m into a new module, inst_test.m
Most modules that imported inst_match did so in order to use
predicates such as inst_is_ground to test properties of insts.
These predicates are split into a new module, leaving the more
complex parts of inst_match to be imported in fewer places.
This makes it easier to change inst_match (for example, to
address mantis bug 264) without unintentional changes to
the rest of the compiler.
compiler/inst_test.m:
New module containing code from inst_match.m.
compiler/check_hlds.m:
Include the new module.
compiler/inst_match.m:
Move code to the new module.
compiler/inst_util.m:
Move inst_expand and inst_expand_and_remove_constrained_inst_vars
here rather than the new module, since they make more sense here.

Simplify the representation of clauses.
compiler/hlds_clauses.m:
Instead of representing the list of clauses as either a forward list,
a reversed list or both, represent it as just a cord. It can be added
to in O(1) time, and can be flattened to a list in O(N) time, like
the previous representation, but unlike the previous representation,
the flattened version can be appended to again, and it never duplicates
the list.
Provide three separate predicates for getting the clause list, and one
for getting just the first clause, for use in different circumstances.
These replace two previous predicates.

Speed up pred_info's setter predicates a bit.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
If the new value of a field of pred_info is likely to be bit-identical
to the old value, then test the old and new bits for equality in the
setter, and if they are the same, do not allocate a new pred_info
structure that is guaranteed to be the same as the old one.
By avoiding unnecessary memory turnover, this speeds up the compiler a bit,
though I cannot nail down by how much. I measured it several times, with
the results being no change, a speedup of 1%, and a speedup of 2%.
Remove the unused setter predicate for the attributes field.
Rename some access predicates to pred_infos to better reflect what they do.
Add a distinguishing prefix to the fields of pred_infos.
compiler/*.m:
Conform to the changes above.

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'. compiler/code_util.m: Add a function to encode the number of regular and float register arguments when making a higher-order call. compiler/llds.m: 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'. compiler/builtin_lib_types.m: Add function to return the type of `private_builtin.float_box/0'. compiler/hlds_out_goal.m: compiler/hlds_out_pred.m: compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m: Dump the new fields added to `generic_call', `pred_inst_info' and `proc_sub_info'. compiler/prog_type.m: Add helper predicate. compiler/*.m: Conform to changes. library/private_builtin.m: Add a type `float_box'. runtime/mercury_ho_call.h: Describe the modified closure representation. Rename the field which counts the number of hidden arguments to prevent it being used incorrectly, as it now encodes two numbers (potentially). Add macros to unpack the encoded field. runtime/mercury_ho_call.c: Update the description of how higher-order calls work.

Switch from using set(prog_var), which is represented using set_ordlist,
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. compiler/hlds_goal.m: Replace almost all occurrences of set(prog_var) with set_of_progvar. The main exceptions are the types supporting rbmm. compiler/set_of_var.m: Add some more predicates and functions that previous existed on sets but not yet on set_of_vars. compiler/*.m: Conform to the change in hlds_goal.m, and make similar changes in set representations. library/bag.m: Add a predicate and function for creating a bag from a sorted list.

A rewrite of the state variable transformation from the ground up.
Estimated hours taken: 60
Branches: main
A rewrite of the state variable transformation from the ground up.
The initial aim was to avoid situations (encountered in the g12 project)
in which the old state variable transformation generated code that
did not satisfy the mode checker, due to unnecessary unifications.
The new system tries hard to minimize the number of unifications added to the
program. It does this by relying extensively on the idea that in a branched
structure such as an disjunction, if two branches both update the same state
variable, and the variables representing the last state of the state variable
in the two branches are (say) X and Y, and we pick X to represent the current
state after the disjunction, then we don't have to put the assignment X := Y
into the second branch; instead, we can RENAME Y to X in that branch.
To avoid renaming a goal several times (for itself, for its parent, for its
grandparent etc), we delay all renamings until the end, when we do it all
in one traversal.
The old state var system was opaque and hard to understand, partly because
its basic operations did different things in different contexts. The new system
is a much more direct expression of the intuitive meaning of state variables;
it keeps track of their state much as the programmer writing the original code
would. It should therefore be significantly easier to understand and to modify
in the future.
The new system can also detect more kinds of errors in the use of state
variables. For example it can discover that some branches of a disjunction or
if-then-else set the initial value of a state variable and some do not.
This is ok if the non-setting-branch cannot succeed; if it can, then it is
a bug. We therefore generate messages about such branches, but print them
only if mode analysis finds a bug in the procedure, since in that case,
the lack of initialization may be the cause of the bug.
doc/reference_manual.texi:
Replaced an old example that didn't know what it was talking about,
and thoroughly confused the issue of what is legal use of state
variables and what is not.
compiler/state_var.m:
Rewrite this module along the lines mentioned above.
compiler/options.m:
Add two new options. One, warn-state-var-shadowing, controls whether
we generate warnings for one state var shadowing another (which
G12 has lots of). The other, --allow-defn-for-builtins, is for
developers only; it is needed to bootstrap changes that add new
builtins. I needed this for a form of the state variable transformation
that used calls to a new builtin predicate to copy the values of state
variables in branches that did not modify them, even though other
branches did. I ultimately used unifications to do this copying,
for reasons documented in state_var.m.
compiler/add_clause.m:
compiler/add_pragma.m:
Respect the new --allow-defn-for-builtins option.
(Previously, we changed the code that now looks up the value of the
option.)
doc/user_guide.texi:
Document the --warn-state-var-shadowing option.
Fix some old documentation about dump options.
compiler/simplify.m:
Fix an old oversight: list the predicates in table_builtin.m that may
have calls introduced to them by table_gen.m.
compiler/superhomogeneous.m:
compiler/field_access.m:
compiler/add_clause.m:
compiler/goal_expr_to_goal.m:
Together with state_var.m, these modules contain the transformation
from the parse tree to the HLDS. Since the change to state_var.m
involves significant changes in its interface (such as separating out
the persistent and location-dependent aspects of the information needed
by the state variable transformation), and needing callbacks at
different points than the old transformation, these modules had to
change extensively as well to conform.
goal_expr_to_goal.m is a new module carved out of add_clause.m.
It deserves a module of its own because its code has a significantly
different purpose than add_clause.m. The two separate modules each
have much better cohesion than the old conjoined module did.
In superhomogeneous.m, replace two predicates that did the same thing
with one predicate.
compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html.m:
Mention the new module.
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
Add a mechanism to do the kind of incremental renaming that the state
variable transformation needs.
Add some utility predicates needed by the new code in other modules.
compiler/hlds_clause.m:
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
Add an extra piece of information to clauses and proc_infos:
a list of informational messages generated by the state variable
transformation about some branches of branched goals not giving initial
values to some state variables, while other branches do.
The state variable transformation fills in this field in clauses
where relevant.
compiler/clause_to_proc.m:
Copy this list of messages from clauses to proc_infos.
compiler/modes.m:
When generating an error message for a procedure, include this list
of messages from the state var transformation in the output.
compiler/handle_options.m:
Add a dump alias for debugging the state var transformation.
compiler/hlds_out_goal.m:
Add a predicate that is useful in trace messages when debugging
the compiler.
compiler/hlds_out_pred.m:
Print goal path and goal id information in clauses as well as
proc_infos, since the state var transformation now uses goal ids.
compiler/prog_item.m:
In lists of quantified vars in scope headers, separate out the vars
introduced as !S from those introduced as !.S and !:S. This makes it
easier for the state var transformation to handle them.
Document that we expect lists of quantified variables and state
variables to contain no duplicates. The state var transformation
is slightly simpler if we impose this requirement, and quantifying
a variable twice in the same scope does not make sense, and is
therefore almost certainly an error.
compiler/prog_io_util.m:
Generate error messages when a variable or state variable IS
listed twice in the same quantification list.
Factor out some code used to generate error messages.
compiler/typecheck.m:
Conform to the changes above.
Break a very large predicate into two smaller pieces.

The existing representation of goal_paths is suboptimal for several reasons.
Estimated hours taken: 80 Branches: main The existing representation of goal_paths is suboptimal for several reasons. - Sometimes we need forward goal paths (e.g. to look up goals), and sometimes we need reverse goal paths (e.g. when computing goal paths in the first place). We had two types for them, but - their names, goal_path and goal_path_consable, were not expressive, and - we could store only one of them in goal_infos. - Testing whether goal A is a subgoal of goal B is quite error-prone using either form of goal paths. - Using a goal path as a key in a map, which several compiler passes want to do, requires lots of expensive comparisons. This diff replaces most uses of goal paths with goal ids. A goal id is an integer, so it can be used as a key in faster maps, or even in arrays. Every goal in the body of a procedure gets its id allocated in a depth first search. Since we process each goal before we dive into is descendants, the goal representing the whole body of a procedure always gets goal id 0. The depth first traversal also builds up a map (the containing goal map) that tells us the parent goal of ever subgoal, with the obvious exception of the root goal itself. From the containing goal map, one can compute both reverse and forward goal paths. It can also serve as the basis of an efficient test of whether the goal identified by goal id A is an ancestor of another goal identified by goal id B. We don't yet use this test, but I expect we will in the future. mdbcomp/program_representation.m: Add the goal_id type. Replace the existing goal_path and goal_path_consable types with two new types, forward_goal_path and reverse_goal_path. Since these now have wrappers around the list of goal path steps that identify each kind of goal path, it is now ok to expose their representations. This makes several compiler passes easier to code. Update the set of operations on goal paths to work on the new data structures. Add a couple of step types to represent lambdas and try goals. Their omission prior to this would have been a bug for constraint-based mode analysis, or any other compiler pass prior to the expansion out of lambda and try goals that wanted to use goal paths to identify subgoals. browser/declarative_tree.m: mdbcomp/rtti_access.m: mdbcomp/slice_and_dice.m: mdbcomp/trace_counts.m: slice/mcov.m: deep_profiler/*.m: Conform to the changes in goal path representation. compiler/hlds_goal: Replace the goal_path field with a goal_id field in the goal_info, indicating that from now on, this should be used to identify goals. Keep a reverse_goal_path field in the goal_info for use by RBMM and CTGC. Those analyses were too hard to convert to using goal_ids, especially since RBMM uses goal_paths to identify goals in multi-pass algorithms that should be one-pass and should not NEED to identify any goals for later processing. compiler/goal_path: Add predicates to fill in goal_ids, and update the predicates filling in the now deprecated reverse goal path fields. Add the operations needed by the rest of the compiler on goal ids and containing goal maps. Remove the option to set goal paths using "mode equivalent steps". Constraint based mode analysis now uses goal ids, and can now do its own equivalent optimization quite simply. Move the goal_path module from the check_hlds package to the hlds package. compiler/*.m: Conform to the changes in goal path representation. Most modules now use goal_ids to identify goals, and use a containing goal map to convert the goal ids to goal paths when needed. However, the ctgc and rbmm modules still use (reverse) goal paths. library/digraph.m: library/group.m: library/injection.m: library/pprint.m: library/pretty_printer.m: library/term_to_xml.m: Minor style improvements. |

Add a mechanism for generating warnings when the various clauses of a predicate
Estimated hours taken: 24
Branches: main
Add a mechanism for generating warnings when the various clauses of a predicate
or function are not contiguous.
This mechanism consists of two options:
--warn-non-contiguous-clauses
--warn-non-contiguous-foreign-procs
The first option generates warnings when the Mercury clauses of a predicate
or function are not contiguous, but it ignores any foreign_procs of that
predicate or function, and thus allows these to be away from the Mercury
clauses and each other. This option is enabled by default.
The second option generating warnings unless both the Mercury clauses and
all the foreign_procs of the predicate or function are all contiguous.
This option is not enabled by default, because many library modules
group foreign_procs not by predicate, but by foreign language. (All C foreign
procs for a group of predicates, then all the Java foreign procs for that group
of predicates, etc.)
compiler/hlds_clauses.m:
Store, next to the representation of each clause list, information
about the locations (item numbers and context) of the clauses.
We store two versions of this information, one version for each option.
Make the predicates that access the clause list access the location
information as well, to ensure that any code that adds clauses also
records their location.
Add a predicate that tests for non-contiguity.
Add a specific type to represent the modes that a clause applies to.
This replaces the error-prone scheme we used to use that represented
the notion "this clause applies to all modes" with an empty list of
modes. This allows us to remove the code in add_pragma.m that used
to replace these empty lists with the list of actual modes they
represented.
Change the prefix on the fields of clauses_info to avoid ambiguities.
Add a prefix to the names of the function symbols of the clauses_rep
type to avoid ambiguities.
compiler/add_clause.m:
compiler/add_pragma.m:
When adding Mercury clauses and pragma foreign_procs to a predicate or
function, record the location of the clause or foreign_procs. We do so
even if the clause or foreign_proc is overridden by another. For
example, when compiling to C, a Mercury clause overrides an Erlang
foreign_proc, and a C foreign_proc overrides a Mercury clause.
Fix an old bug where a foreign_proc that should override Mercury
clauses overrode only one Mercury clause, and left the others
in the predicate, to yield a disjunction with some Mercury disjuncts
and a foreign_proc disjunct. This disjunction would then yield
determinism errors if it had outputs.
The new code that fixes the bug has a much more direct implicit
correctness argument, and should be significantly easier to understand.
It also avoids doing unnecessary work. (The old code could make a
decision to ignore a clause, yet still proceed to transform it,
just to ignore the result of the transformation.)
compiler/options.m:
Add the new options.
doc/user_guide.texi:

user_guide.texi for a nearby option.

Add support for `try' goals, syntactic sugar on top of the exception handling
Branches: main Add support for `try' goals, syntactic sugar on top of the exception handling predicates in the standard library. The syntax is documented in the reference manual. Currently one of the proposed try parameters, io(!IO), is implemented. Try goals are implemented by *two* source-to-source transformations, one at the parse tree level, then a later one on the HLDS. The reason for this is given in try_expand.m. library/ops.m: Add three new operators: try, catch, catch_any. library/exception.m: Add forwarding predicates so that code generated by the try goal transformation doesn't need to import `univ'. compiler/prog_item.m: Add representations of try goals to parse tree. compiler/prog_io_goal.m: Parse try goals.

Fix two bugs preventing the use of or_else alternatives to atomic
transaction scopes and nested atomic scopes.
The main issue was the code assuming that the inner stm interface variables
were the same for the main goal and the or_else goals, but quantification
renames these variables to be distinct.
library/stm_builtin.m
Rename stm_from_outer_to_inner_io and stm_from_inner_to_outer_io, dropping
the _io suffix. They are used when the outer type is stm as well as io.
compiler/hlds_goal.m
Add a field to the atomic_goal structure to hold the names of the STM
interface variables used in each or_else alternative, since quantification
renames these variables to be distinct from those used in the main atomic
goal.
compiler/purity.m
Insert calls to the (renamed) dummy predicates stm_from_outer_to_inner and
stm_from_inner_to_outer regardless of the type of the outer variable,
instead of using the nonexistent stm_from_*_to_*_stm versions when the
outer type is stm. Also use the inner STM interface variables specific to
each or_else alternative when generating these calls.
compiler/quantification.m
Explicitly rename the inner STM interface variables in each of the or_else
alternatives before calling implicitly_quantify_disj, so that the new names
of these variables can be stored in the atomic_goal structure.
compiler/typecheck.m
Ensure all the inner STM interface variables are typed stm, not just the
ones in the main goal.

Implement higher-order any' insts. Pred or func expressions with an any'
Estimated hours taken: 100 Branches: main Implement higher-order `any' insts. Pred or func expressions with an `any' inst may bind non-local solver variables, but themselves must not be called in a negated context. (The existing ground pred and func expressions may not bind non-local solver variables, but may be called in a negated context.) Higher-order `any' insts are specified by using `any_pred' and `any_func' in place of `pred' and `func', respectively. We implement these insts by adding a new field to the any/1 constructor of mer_inst, which is identical to the ground_inst_info field of the ground/2 constructor. Both are given the new type `ho_inst_info'. We then relax the locking of non-local variables in these pred and func expressions, and extend call/N and apply/N to also accept the new insts (provided the variables are not locked). We also store the groundness (ho_ground or ho_any) of each lambda expression in a unification, in a new field in the rhs_lambda_goal constructor. NEWS: Mention the new feature. compiler/prog_data.m: Rename the ground_inst_info type ho_inst_info, and update its documentation. Add the ho_inst_info field to the any constructor in mer_inst. compiler/hlds_goal.m: Add the rhs_groundness field to rhs_lambda_goal in unify_rhs. compiler/inst_match.m: Propagate inst matching into the pred_inst_infos of any insts, if they exist. compiler/inst_util.m: Propagate abstract unification and inst merging into the pred_inst_infos of any insts, if they exist. May use of this information when building ground, any, shared and mostly_unique versions of insts. compiler/modecheck_call.m: Allow an `any' inst as the pred (func) argument to call/N (apply/N), but check that the variable is not locked. If the variable is locked, report a mode error which suggests using the ground inst. (We could also suggest that the goal be made impure, but it is best to point users towards the pure approach.) compiler/modecheck_unify.m: Relax the locking of non-locals when processing non-ground lambda goals. Update documentation. compiler/mode_util.m: Propagate type information into the pred_inst_infos of any insts. compiler/mode_errors.m: Change the purity error "lambda should be impure" to "lambda should be any", since this is better advice.

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.

Change the representation of goal paths to use cords of steps instead of lists
Estimated hours taken: 4 Branches: main Change the representation of goal paths to use cords of steps instead of lists of steps. With the list of steps representation, we always had to worry about whether the list was reversed or not, since the usual operations on goal paths operate mostly on the last step, not the first. With cords, this concern disappears. mdbcomp/program_representation.m: Make the change mentioned above. Standardize some utility operations on goal paths, now that the reversed/unreversed distinction is gone. Add some new utility operations. library/cord.m: Add operations to get the first and last elements of a cord, to split the last element from a cord, and to test whether a cord is empty.

Fix the failure of the invalid/modes_erroneous test case, whose symptom was
Estimated hours taken: 5 Branches: main Fix the failure of the invalid/modes_erroneous test case, whose symptom was an error message about a "mode error in unification of `X' and `X'". The root cause of the problem was that the renaming of head variables computed by headvar_names.m was being applied too early, during typechecking. The fix is to apply it after the frontend (all the passes that can generate error messages). To avoid slowdowns from larger pred_infos, this diff also moves the least frequently used fields of pred_infos to a subterm. (Proc_infos already had a subterm.) This leads to an almost 3% speedup. compiler/headvar_names.m: Store the renaming instead of applying it. compiler/simplify.m: Apply the renaming in invocations after the front end, since doing so may allow some excess assignments to be eliminated. compiler/hlds_pred.m: Add fields to pred_infos and proc_infos for the renaming. Move the least frequently used fields of pred_infos into a pred_sub_info. Some fields of pred_infos were being accessed using predicates that did not follow our naming conventions, and some were accessed using field access functions that are now inappropriate; fix them all. Require the caller to provide the renaming when creating new pred_infos and proc_infos. This is to force the compiler components that do this to propagate the renaming fields of the original predicates and/or procedures to their modified versions. Convert that some old code that used if-then-elses to use switches instead. compiler/hlds_out.m: Write out the new pred_info and proc_info fields. compiler/*.m: Conform to the changes in hlds_pred.m. compiler/hlds_clauses.m: Avoid ambiguity by giving a prefix to the fields of the clauses_info type. tests/invalid/ho_type_mode_bug.err_exp: tests/invalid/merge_ground_any.err_exp: Don't expect error messages about "X = X" anymore. |

Eliminate some code duplication by unifying the two goal_path types have had

The new type is in program_representation.m, but with the definition from goal_path.m. Add a "step_" prefix to the function symbols of the goal_path_step type, to avoid ambiguity with the hlds goals the steps describe.

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? |

Implement a large chunk of the code that was previously missing for .mmos
Estimated hours taken: 20 Branches: main Implement a large chunk of the code that was previously missing for .mmos grades. The system now correctly computes several answers for the tc_minimal test case, before going into an infinite loop (since the code for recognizing the absence of further solutions is not yet there). Significantly improve the infrastructure for debugging such changes. compiler/table_gen.m: Complete the mmos transformation. compiler/proc_gen.m: Handle the special return requirements of mmos generators, which must return not to a caller (since each generator is the root of its own SLD tree), but to a consumer in another SLD tree that is waiting for an answer. compiler/hlds_pred.m: Provide a mechanism whereby table_gen.m can communicate to proc_gen.m the requirement for this special return. compiler/trace_gen.m: When generating events, include the port and the goal path in a comment. This makes the generated C code significantly easier to understand. compiler/layout_out.m: Export a function for trace_gen.m to use. compiler/hlds_goal.m: Change goal_path_to_string to a function to make it easier to use. compiler/*.m: Conform to the change to goal_path_to_string. runtime/mercury_context.[ch]: In .mmos grades, include the current debugger call sequence number, depth, and event number in contexts, to be saved and loaded with the contexts. This allows each context to have its own separate sequence of events. This capability depends not directly on the grade, but on the macro MR_EXEC_TRACE_INFO_IN_CONTEXT. For now, this is defined only in .mmos grades, but in future, it may be useful in other grades as well. runtime/mercury_conf_param.h: Define and document MR_EXEC_TRACE_INFO_IN_CONTEXT. runtime/mercury_mm_own_stacks.[ch]: runtime/mercury_tabling_preds.h: Implement some predicates needed by the own stack transformation. Implement the code for generators returning answers to consumers, and the code for consumers scheduling generators when they need more answers. At the moment, the code for detecting when generators depend on each other is not yet written. Provide better facilities for debugging own stack minimal model grades. Fix a cut-and-paste bug (wrong macro name guarding the handwritten C module). runtime/Mmakefile: Rebuild only what needs to be rebuilt when mercury_tabling_preds.h changes. runtime/mercury_label.[ch]: Add a utility function for returning the name of an arbitrary label (internal or entry). Rename some fields to give them MR_ prefixes. Always define the functions for recording both entry and internal labels, even if they are not called from most modules, since they may be called from a few handwritten modules in the runtime. Rename a function to avoid a clash with the name of a macro, and thus allow the change to mercury_goto.h. runtime/mercury_goto.h: Fix a bug with MR_init_entry_an. This macro was supposed to always insert the entry label that is its argument into the entry table, but instead of calling the function it was meant to call, it called a macro that could be (and usually way) defined to expand to nothing. The fix is to call the function a different name than the macro, and to call the function, not the macro. runtime/mercury_wrapper.c: In own stack minimal model grades, create a main context separate from the current context, since the current context may be needed to hold a generator's state. Make MR_eng_this_context point to this context. Register all labels in the debugging variants of minimal model grades. runtime/mercury_accurate_gc.c: runtime/mercury_agc_debug.c: runtime/mercury_debug.c: library/exception.m: Conform to the change to runtime/mercury_label.h. runtime/mercury_stack_trace.c: Conform to the change to runtime/mercury_label.h. Document the link to trace/mercury_trace_internal.c. trace/mercury_trace.[ch]: trace/mercury_trace_cmd_forward.c: Split the GOTO command into two: STEP and GOTO. STEP always stops at the next event (without any test), even if it is in a different context (and possibly with a lower event number than the immediately previous event, since the event numbers in different contexts are not related). As before, GOTO always goes to the specified event number, but in .dmmos grades it can now be told that this event number should be matched only in a specified context. The specification is done by an extra argument specifying the short name of the context's generator; the ansence of such an argument means the main context. trace/mercury_trace_cmd_internal.c: In own stack grades, when the current context is that of a generator, print the subgoal the generator is working on before the event number, call depth, call sequence number and the rest of the event report. Document the link to runtime/mercury_stack_trace.c, which has similar code. trace/mercury_trace_cmd_external.c: trace/mercury_trace_cmd_declararive.c: Use the STEP command where GOTO was used for this simpler job, since this is (very slightly) faster. trace/mercury_trace_cmd_developer.c: Fix some bugs with handling own stack tables. doc/user_guide.texi: Document the new functionality of the goto mdb command. The documentation is commented out, since .mmos grades are for developers only at the moment. tools/lmc.in: Turn off C optimizations when C debugging is enabled. For some reason, the default value of --cflags-for-debug does not include -O0. |

Add a new data structure, called an proc_arg_vector, to the compiler that is
Estimated hours taken: 14 Branches: main Add a new data structure, called an proc_arg_vector, to the compiler that is intended to encapsulate the argument passing conventions that we use. (Primarily those described in the comments at the head of polymorphism.m). The intention is to use this new data structure everywhere we currently use lists to represent procedure and call site argument information. This change adds the new data structure plus supporting utility predicates. It also begins the task of moving the code in the compiler over to the new data structure. Specifically, this diff changes the headvars field in the clauses_info structure into a proc_arg_vector. The spots marked XXX ARGVEC will need to be further modified once the proc_info structure has been modified to use proc_arg_vectors. compiler/hlds_args.m: New module. This module defines the proc_arg_vector structure that will eventually be used to represent procedure and call site argument information throughout the compiler. It also defines some utility procedures that operate on that data structure. compiler/hlds.m: Include the new module in the HLDS package. compiler/hlds_clauses.m: Modify the clauses_info structure to represent clause arguments as proc_arg_vectors rather than lists. Adapt the predicates that initialise the clauses_info structure so that they correctly handle the proc_arg_vector structure's representation of function return values. compiler/polymorphism.m: Use the proc_arg_vector data structure when introducing type_infos and typeclass_info arguments into the heads of clauses. Note: the new representation of procedure arguments should allow this module to be simplified but that will be done as a separate change. compiler/add_class.m: compiler/add_clause.m: compiler/add_pragma.m: compiler/add_pred.m: compiler/add_special_pred.m: compiler/clause_to_proc.m: compiler/build_mode_constraints.m: compiler/hhf.m: compiler/higher_order.m: compiler/hlds_pred.m: compiler/hlds_out.m: compiler/intermod.m: compiler/mode_constraints.m: compiler/modes.m: compiler/post_typecheck.m: compiler/prop_mode_constraints.m: compiler/typecheck.m: compiler/unify_proc.m: Conform to the above changes. |

This diff is the first step in implementing trace events.
Estimated hours taken: 12 Branches: main This diff is the first step in implementing trace events. It introduces the representation of trace event goals into both the parse tree and HLDS representations, and updates most compiler passes to handle them. Changes to the code generator and to the runtime system, user-level documentation and test cases will come later. library/ops.m: Add "event" as an operator. mdbcomp/program_representation.m: Extend the representation of goals to include events. browser/declarative_execution.m: Allow the reconstruction from bytecode of event goals. browser/declarative_tree.m: Extend the algorithm for following terms to their sources to allow it to traverse events (which never generate any values). compiler/prog_item.m: compiler/hlds_goal.m: Extend the parse tree and the HLDS representations to include event goals. compiler/prog_io_goal.m: Convert the term representation of events to the parse tree representation. compiler/add_clause.m: Convert the parse tree representation of events to the HLDS representation. compiler/prog_event.m: Add this new module to contain the compiler's database of event types. compiler/notes/compiler_design.html: Mention the new module. compiler/parse_tree.m: Include the new module. compiler/prog_rep.m: Generate the extended bytecode for event goals. compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m: Output event goals. compiler/typecheck.m: Typecheck event goals. The types of the arguments of each event type is given by the database in prog_event.m. compiler/typecheck_errors.m: Add a predicate for reporting unknown events. compiler/modecheck_call.m: Add a predicate to modecheck event goals. The modes of the arguments are also given by the database in prog_event.m. compiler/modes.m: Call the new predicate in modecheck_call.m for event goals. Some predicates in this module took a boolean flag, tested many times at runtime, to control whether an exact match was required or not. However, the choice was fixed at all call sites except one. I have split each predicate into two, one for each value of the boolean flag, both for clarity of code and for slightly improved speed. compiler/ml_call_gen.m: Ignore event goals, since the MLDS backend doesn't support debugging. compiler/call_gen.m: Document the fact that event goals *should* be handled here. compiler/build_mode_constraints.m: compiler/deep_profiling.m: compiler/exception_analysis.m: compiler/goal_util.m: compiler/hlds_out.m: compiler/hlds_pred.m: compiler/intermod.m: compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m: compiler/mlds_to_c.m: compiler/mode_constraints.m: compiler/modecheck_unify.m: compiler/module_qual.m: compiler/prog_util.m: compiler/purity.m: compiler/simplify.m: compiler/superhomogeneous.m: compiler/tabling_analysis.m: compiler/term_traversal.m: compiler/trailing_analysis.m: compiler/typecheck.m: compiler/typecheck_errors.m: compiler/unique_modes.m: Handle the new goal type.

This diff contains no algorithmic changes.
Estimated hours taken: 8 Branches: main This diff contains no algorithmic changes. It merely renames apart a bunch of function symbols to reduce ambiguity. Basically I went through prog_data.m, prog_item.m, hlds_data.m, hlds_goal.m and hlds_pred.m looking for type definitions containing function symbol names that were either language "keywords" (e.g. "terminates", which is an annotation on foreign_procs), used with slightly different meanings in several types (e.g. "sym"), or both (e.g. "call"). When I found such type definitions, I changed the names of the function symbols, usually by adding a prefix or suffix indicating the type to all function symbols of the type. For example, the old function symbol "foreign_proc" in type "pragma_type" is now named "pragma_foreign_proc", and the names of all other function symbols in that type also start with "pragma_". All of this should yield simpler compiler error messages when we make mistakes, and will make it more likely that looking up a function symbol using a tags file will take you to the actual definition of the relevant instance of that function symbol. However, the most important benefit is the increase in the readability of unfamiliar code; the reader won't have to emulate the compiler's type ambiguity resolution algorithm (which in many cases used to require distinguishing between f/14 and f/15 by counting the arguments, e.g. for "pred_or_func"). compiler/prog_data.m: compiler/prog_item.m: compiler/hlds_data.m: compiler/hlds_goal.m: compiler/hlds_pred.m: Rename function symbols as explained above. compiler/*.m: Conform to the function symbol renames. In some cases, rename other function symbols as well. Minor style fixes, e.g. replace if-then-elses with switches, or simple det predicates with functions. |

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/pragma_c_gen.m:
Generate code for runtime conditions when handling the foreign_procs
created by simplify.m.
compiler/code_info.m:
Allow pragma_c_gen.m to record what environment variables it has
generated references to.
compiler/proc_gen.m:
Record the set of environment variables a procedure refers to
in the LLDS procedure header, for efficient access by llds_out.m.
compiler/llds_out.m:
Handle the new LLDS construct, and tell mkinit which environment
variables need C globals created for them.
compiler/pd_util.m:
Rename some predicates to avoid ambiguity.
compiler/*.m:
Conform to the changes above, mainly the renames of function symbols
and predicates, the changed signatures of some predicates, and the new
handling of purity.
util/mkinit.c:
Generate the definitions and the initializations of any C globals
representing the initial status (set or not set) of environment
variables needed by trace goals.

Add some predicates that are useful in prog_io*.m.

Prepare for an extension of promise_equivalent_solutions that will allow us
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). |

Remove support for the Aditi backend. It is a pain to have to update it every
Estimated hours taken: 2 Branches: main Remove support for the Aditi backend. It is a pain to have to update it every time a data structure changes when we don't see any benefit from it, and its presence makes compilation of the compiler directory take about 10% longer (since the Aditi backend modules are roughly 10% of the code in the compiler directory). Deleting the Aditi-specific data structures from the HLDS should also speed up compilation a little bit. I have spoken to Rao and he is fine with this step. Aditi users, if there are any, can continue to use the Aditi support in release 0.12.*. I also tagged the last version on the trunk to support aditi with the name "last_aditi". The need for modifications in this Aditi support is likely to be very rare to nonexistent, if the recent past is any guide: the Aditi backend hasn't seen a nontrivial modification in a year or more.

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:

compiler/error_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).

eliminates some undesirable dependencies from libs to parse_tree.

Rename the types 'type', 'inst' and 'mode' to 'mer_type', 'mer_inst'
Estimated hours taken: 8 Branches: main compiler/*.m: Rename the types 'type', 'inst' and 'mode' to 'mer_type', 'mer_inst' and 'mer_mode'. This is to avoid the need to parenthesize these type names in some contexts, and to prepare for the possibility of a parser that considers those words to be reserved words. Rename some other uses of those names (e.g. as item types in recompilation.m). Delete some redundant synonyms (prog_type, mercury_type) for mer_type. Change some type names (e.g. mlds__type) and predicate names (e.g. deforest__goal) to make them unique even without module qualification. Rename the function symbols (e.g. pure, &) that need to be renamed to avoid the need to parenthesize them. Make their replacement names more expressive. Convert some more modules to four space indentation. Avoid excessively long lines, such as those resulting from the automatic substitution of 'mer_type' for 'type'. |

Replace the some() HLDS goal with a more general scope() goal, which can be
Estimated hours taken: 12
Branches: main
Replace the some() HLDS goal with a more general scope() goal, which can be
used not just for existential quantification but also for other purposes.
The main such purposes are new goal types that allow the programmer
to annotate arbitrary goals, and not just whole procedure bodies, with the
equivalents of promise_pure/promise_semipure and promise_only_solution:
promise_pure ( <impure/semipure goal> )
promise_semipure ( <impure goal> )
promise_equivalent_solutions [OutVar1, OutVar2] (
<cc_multi/cc_nondet goal that computed OutVar1 & OutVar2>
)
Both are intended to be helpful in writing constraint solvers, as well as in
other situations.
doc/reference_manual.texi:
Document the new constructs.
library/ops.m:
Add the keywords of the new constructs to the list of operators.
Since they work similarly to the "some" operator, they have the same
precedence.
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
Replace the some(Vars, SubGoal) HLDS construct, with its optional
keep_this_commit attribute, with the new scope(Reason, SubGoal)
construct. The Reason argument may say that this scope is an
existential quantification, but it can also say that it represents
a purity promise, the introduction of a single-solution context
with promise_equivalent_solutions, or a decision by a compiler pass.
It can also say that the scope represents a set of goals that all arise
from the unraveling of a unification between a variable and a ground
term. This was intended to speed up mode checking by significantly
reducing the number of delays and wakeups, but the cost of the scopes
themselves turned out to be bigger than the gain in modechecking speed.
Update the goal_path_step type to refer to scope goals instead of just
existential quantification.
compiler/prog_data.m:
Add new function symbols to the type we use to represent goals in items
to stand for the new Mercury constructs.
compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
Add code to read in the new language constructs.
compiler/prog_io_util.m:
Add a utility predicate for use by the new code in prog_io_goal.m.
compiler/make_hlds.m:
Convert the item representation of the new constructs to the HLDS
representation.
Document how the from_ground_term scope reason would work, but do not
enable the code.
compiler/purity.m:
When checking the purity of goals, respect the new promise_pure and
promise_semipure scopes. Generate warnings if such scopes are
redundant.
compiler/det_analysis.m:
Make the insides of promise_equivalent_solutions goals single solution
contexts.
compiler/det_report.m:
Provide mechanisms for reporting inappropriate usage of
promise_equivalent_solutions goals.
compiler/instmap.m:
Add a utility predicate for use by one of the modules above.
compiler/deep_profiling.m:
Use one of the new scope reasons to prevent simplify from optimizing
away commits of goals that have been made impure, instead of the old
keep_this_commit goal feature.
compiler/modes.m:
Handle from_ground_term scopes when present; for now, they won't be
present, since make_hlds isn't creating them.
compiler/options.m:
Add two new compiler options, for use by implementors only, to allow
finer control over the amount of output one gets with --debug-modes.
(I used them when debugging the performance of the from_ground_term
scope reason.) The options are --debug-modes-minimal and
--debug-modes-verbose.
compiler/handle_options.m:
Make the options that are meaningful only in the presence of
--debug-modes imply --debug-modes, since this allows more convenient
(shorter) invocations.
compiler/mode_debug.m:
Respect the new options when deciding how much data to print
when debugging of the mode checking process is enabled.
compiler/switch_detect.m:
Rename a predicate to make it differ from another predicate by more
than just its arity.
compiler/passes_aux.m:
Bring this module up to date with our current style guidelines,
by using state variable syntax where appropriate.
compiler/*.m:
Minor changes to conform to the change in the HLDS and/or parse tree
goal type.
mdbcomp/program_representation.m:
Rename the some goal to the scope goal, and the same for path steps,
to keep them in sync with the HLDS.
browser/declarative_tree.m:
Conform to the change in goal representations.
tests/hard_coded/promise_equivalent_solutions_test.{m,exp}:
A new test case to test the handling of the
promise_equivalent_solutions construct.
tests/hard_coded/Mmakefile:
Enable the new test.
tests/hard_coded/purity/promise_pure_test.{m,exp}:
A new test case to test the handling of the promise_pure and
promise_semipure constructs.
tests/hard_coded/purity/Mmakefile:
Enable the new test.
tests/invalid/promise_equivalent_solutions.{m,err_exp}:
A new test case to test the error messages for improper use of the
promise_pure and promise_semipure constructs.
tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
Enable the new test.

Import only one module per line in the modules of the compiler
Estimated hours taken: 3 Branches: main compiler/*.m: Import only one module per line in the modules of the compiler where my previous diff did not already do so. Misc other cleanups. Where relevant, use the new mechanism in tree.m. compiler/tree.m: Fix a performance problem I noticed while update :- import_module items. Instead of supplying a function to convert lists of trees to a tree, make the tree data structure able to hold a list of subtrees directly. This reduces the number of times where we have to convert list of trees to trees that are sticks just to stay within the old definition of what a tree is. |

Estimated hours taken: 1 Branches: main Clean up some of the modules Richard added the other day while the details of what they do are still in my head. There are no changes to any algorithms exception the addition of a synonym for the `--prop-mode-constraints' option. compiler/abstract_mode_constraints.m: compiler/build_mode_constraints.m: compiler/prop_mode_constraints.m: Perform a quick cleanup of these modules and bring them more into line with our current coding standard. Fix up some typos in the documentation of these modules. Use 4-space indentation in build_mode_constraints. compiler/options.m: Add `--propagate-mode-constraints' as a synonym for `--prop-mode-constraints'. |

These changes provide the framework for a new approach to constraints
Estimated hours taken: 100 Branches: main These changes provide the framework for a new approach to constraints based mode analysis. They build constraints for simple mercury programs (sorry, no higher order unifications), and can later be extended to handle all applicable hlds goals. They have been designed with the intention that they would be solved, for example, by a propagation based constraint solver, and the information used for producing a partial order on conjuncts and for mode analysis of a mercury program. compiler/prop_mode_constraints.m This module serves as an interface between the existing mode_constraints module which asks for constraints for an SCC, and build_mode_constraints, which only handles goals. Simply put, it takes an SCC and hands it to build_mode_constraints one predicate at a time. It produces the mode constraints for that SCC, and the constraint variables necessary to do so. compiler/build_mode_constraints.m This module creates the constraint variables and constraints needed for the new constraints based mode analysis. It traverses the hlds_goal data structure recursively to form mode constraints for a goal. The constraints it builds are the simplified form - they do not deal with partial instantiation. They are also incomplete, as no constraints are produced for higher order unifications, parallel conjunctions, switches etc. A rough description of the constraints can be found in chapter six of David Overton's disseration, "Precise and Expressive Mode Systems for Typed Logic Programming Languages." compiler/abstract_mode_constraints.m This module contains data structures that represent mode constraints. They have been chosen so as to minimise complication for the types of constraints most often created by mode analysis. There is also a predicate here for displaying the constraints/printing to file. compiler/check_hlds.m: Added :- include_module statements for new modules check_hlds.abstract_mode_constraints, check_hlds.build_mode_constraints and check_hlds.prop_mode_constraints. compiler/mode_constraints.m mode_constraints.process_module now switches on the global bool option prop_mode_constraints. If the option is true, it passes control over to prop_mode_constraints.process_scc instead of its own process_scc, then outputs the results to a file named after the module being processed with the extension .mode_constraints compiler/options.m New option inclued --prop-mode-constraints. Note that the propagaion mode constraints material is an offshoot of the original, so to run it both --mode-constraints and --prop-mode-constraints must be specified. compiler/notes/compiler_design.html Added a description of various parts of the new constraints based mode analysis work. |
