8f761b4968 Remove out_of_line_builtin.
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
    Delete out_of_line_builtin as a possible builtin_state, since we
    haven't had any builtin predicates implemented using out-of-line code
    in a long time, and we almost certainly never will again.
    Even if we did, there is no particular reason to believe that all
    the places that test the builtin_state do the right thing when they see
    an out_of_line_builtin; such decisions haven't had their correctness
    tested in more than a decade.

7231df1666 Simplify hlds_dependency_graph.m.
compiler/hlds_dependency_graph.m:
    Make module_info_ensure_dependency_info return the dependency info,
    so that the caller does not have to get it separately.

    Simplify the type class used in the module: make it cover only the
    operation used in traversing goals. Making it cover the operations
    used in traversing predicates as well takes more code and adds more
    complexity than it saves.

    Rewrite the code that traverses predicates to avoid code duplication.
    The tests for whether a predicate or procedure should be processed
    used to be duplicated, and in one case the duplication was imperfect,
    i.e. two different pieces of code implicitly made inconsistent assumptions
    about each other. Rewriting the code so that code that adds arcs to the
    digraph accepts the decisions of the code that added the nodes to the
    digraph eliminates this problem.

    Factor out the common code for adding a new edge to the digraph.

    Traversing a predicate or procedure does not guarantee that we will add it
    to the digraph as a node. To reflect this, add a "maybe" prefix to the
    names of the affected predicates.

    Put related predicates next to each other.

dea4368f7d Make each SCC in the dependency graph a set, not a list.
This is to make the data type follow the inherent semantics of SCCs
more closely, and enforce the invariant that a procedure can appear
in the SCC only once.

Also, rename the list of SCCs from "dependency_ordering", which does
not give a clue about *which way* the SCCs are ordered, to "bottom_up_sccs",
which does.

compiler/dependency_graph.m:
    Make the changes described above.

    Document why we reverse the list generated by digraph.atsort.

library/digraph.m:
    Document the order in which digraph.atsort returns the list of SCCs.

    Note that the last step of atsort is to reverse the list, which
    its caller in compiler/dependency_graph.m will then immediately
    re-reverse.

    Document the order in which digraph.tsort and digraph.dfs return
    a list of items.

    Give some variables more meaningful names, and make the argument order
    of some predicates conform to our conventions.

compiler/hlds_out_module.m:
    Add code to print out the dependency info in the module_info, if asked.

doc/user_guide.texi:
    Document the dump string option that asks for this.

compiler/hlds_dependency_graph.m:
    Make the same changes for hlds_dependency_info as dependency_graph.m
    did to just plain dependency_info.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    Make the scc type expand to a set, not a list, of pred_proc_ids.

e2ffb8d01a Reorganise dependency graph code
This change moves code that could be generic/common out of
hlds_dependency_graph.m into dependency_graph.m.  It also moves some code
from hlds_module.m into hlds_dependency_graph.m where it makes more sense.

compiler/dependency_graph.m:
    New module.

    Make the accessors predicates functions and give them more sensible
    names.

    Create a new accessors to get a version or the dependency ordering,
    condensed into a single list.

compiler/hlds_dependency_graph.m:
    Build the dependency_info structure in a more straightforward way.  It
    can easily be created with a single call rather than three.  The
    dependency ordering information is now calculated by dependency_graph.m.

    Make build_dependency_graph, build_proc_dependency_graph and
    build_pred_dependency_graph functions rather than predicates.

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.

5efc277801 Improve list.m.
library/list.m:
    Switch to a more expressive and more consistent set of variable names.

    Give many _2 helper predicates better names.

    Convert (C->T;E) to (if C then T else E).

    Note that nth_member_search is identical to index1_of_first_occurrence,
    and nth_member_lookup is identical to det_index1_of_first_occurrence.
    Make the former redirect to the latter.

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.

compiler/prog_data.m:
    Remove the stuff now in the three new modules.

compiler/prog_type_subst.m:
    Remove the three predicates now in vartypes.m.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
    Delete an unneded predicate, which was the only part of this module
    that referred to vartypes.

compiler/prog_type.m:
compiler/builtin_lib_types.m:
compiler/type_util.m:
    Move some utility predicates that refer to vartypes from prog_type.m

    (part of check_hlds.m).

1e184398f0 Fix the has_parallel_conj field of generated procedures (Mantis bug 351).
The event sequence that lead to the compiler abort in Mantis 351 was:

1 With -O5 --intermod-opt, the loop invariant optimization finds a loop
  invariant in the pos_mul_karatsuba predicate in library/integer.m.

2 To create the inner predicate (the one that has the already-computed
  invariant passed to it), it tries to make a copy of the original predicate,
  but sets the has_parallel_conj field of the new proc's proc_info to the
  default value, which is has_no_parallel_conj.

3 A later compiler pass has the task of (in par grades) adding synchronization
  to parallel conjunctions, and (in non-par grades) converting the parallel
  conjunctions to sequential. However, due to the has_no_parallel_conj flag
  in the proc_info, it thinks it has no work to do. It therefore leaves the
  parallel conjunction intact.

4 The pre-code-generation simplification pass traverses the entire body of
  the predicate, and, seeing a parallel conjunction, puts a has_parallel_conj
  flag on the proc_info.

5 generate_proc_code sees this flag, but since the target grade is not
  parallel, it ignores the flag. Since debugging is not enabled either,
  it does NOT create a ContainingGoalMap. (The debugger and parallel
  conjunctions are the two things that need this map.)

6 When trying to create the id for the parallel conjunction, par_conj_gen.m
  looks for the ContainingGoalMap. Not finding it, it aborts.

The problem arises in step 2, and the main part of the bug fix is to step 2.
However, it adds a sanity check to step 5 as well, to make any such problems
easier to diagnose in the future.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    Require callers of proc_info_create and similar predicates to specify
    whether the new procedure has parallel conjunctions or not.

    Arrange the code of these predicates so that all the fields in the
    proc_info are filled in with variables whose names say what they stand
    for. Previously, many of the fields were just "no" or "[]", not saying
    what `maybe' type or list there was no information for.

    Put these variables in the same order as the fields.

    Add a XXX about the possibility of similar bugs.

    When creating the inner procedure (and its containing predicate),
    pass the has_parallel_conj flag of the original predicate. This is
    the actual bug fix.

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

	to use for each argument.  This is set by the float_regs pass.

	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

	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'.

	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'.

2ccac171dd Add float registers to the Mercury abstract machine, implemented as an
Branches: main

Add float registers to the Mercury abstract machine, implemented as an
array of MR_Float in the Mercury engine structure.

Float registers are only useful if a Mercury `float' is wider than a word
(i.e. when using double precision floats on 32-bit platforms) so we let them
exist only then.  In other cases floats may simply be passed via the regular
registers, as before.

Currently, higher order calls still require the use of the regular registers
for all arguments.  As all exported procedures are potentially the target of
higher order calls, exported procedures must use only the regular registers for
argument passing.  This can lead to more (un)boxing than if floats were simply
always boxed.  Until this is solved, float registers must be enabled explicitly
with the developer only option `--use-float-registers'.

The other aspect of this change is using two consecutive stack slots to hold a
single double variable.  Without that, the benefit of passing unboxed floats
via dedicated float registers would be largely eroded.


compiler/options.m:
	Add developer option `--use-float-registers'.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Disable `--use-float-registers' if floats are not wider than words.

compiler/make_hlds_passes.m:

	allows float constructor arguments to be stored unboxed in structures.

	Add stack slot width to `stack_slot' type.

	Remember next available float register in `abs_follow_vars'.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add register type to `arg_loc' type.

compiler/llds.m:
	Add a new kind of lval: double-width stack slots.
	These are used to hold double-precision floating point values only.

	Record setting of `--use-float-registers' in exprn_opts.

	Conform to addition of float registers and double stack slots.

compiler/code_info.m:
	Make predicates take the register type as an argument,
	where it can no longer be assumed.

	Remember whether float registers are being used.

	Remember max float register for calls to MR_trace.

	Count double width stack slots as two slots.

compiler/arg_info.m:
	Allocate float registers for procedure arguments when appropriate.

	Delete unused predicates.

compiler/var_locn.m:
	Make predicates working with registers either take the register type as
	an argument, or handle both register types at once.

	Select float registers for variables when appropriate.

compiler/call_gen.m:
	Explicitly use regular registers for all higher-order calls,
	which was implicit before.

compiler/pragma_c_gen.m:
	Use float registers, when available, at the interface between Mercury
	code and C foreign_procs.

compiler/export.m:

	register depends on the register type.

d013a4cfcf Change the types that represent forward and reverse goal paths from being
Estimated hours taken: 20
Branches: main

Change the types that represent forward and reverse goal paths from being
wrappers around lists of steps, to being full discriminated union types.
This is meant to accomplish two objectives.

First, since taking the wrappers off and putting them back on is inconvenient,
code often dealt with naked lists of steps, with the meaning of those steps
sometimes being unclear.

Second, in a future change I intend to change the way the debugger represents
goal paths from being strings to being statically allocated terms of the
reverse_goal_path type. This should have two benefits. One is reduced memory
consumption, since two different goal path strings cannot share memory
but two different reverse goal paths can share the memory containing their
common tail (the goal paths steps near the root). The other is that the
declarative debugger won't need to do any conversion from string to structure,
and should therefore be faster.

Having the compiler generate static terms of the reverse_goal_path type into
the .c files it generates for every Mercury program being compiled with
debugging requires it to have access to the definition of that type and all
its components. The best way to do this is to put all those types into a new
builtin module in the library (a debugging equivalent of e.g.
profiling_builtin.m). We cannot put the definition of the list type into
that module without causing considerable backward incompatibilities.

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.

	Use the new functionality in post_typecheck.m to convert
	from_ground_term_initial scopes into from_ground_term_other scopes

	If the variable named in a from_ground_term_initial or

Estimated hours taken: 3
Branches: main

When computing the interference graph for the stack alloc pass, we used to put
all live variables into the graph, and then filtered out the dummy variables
from every set of live variables. Since a dummy variable can and often does
appear in more than one set, all sets had to be inspected, filtered and then
rebuilt. This rebuilding was redundant work. We now create an array that
tells us which variables are of dummy type (making the test faster), and
avoid putting such variables into live sets in the first place (avoiding
the redundant rebuilding).

This change reduces the time taken by the stack alloc pass for zm_enums.m
in a debug grade by about a quarter (from about 16s to about 12s).

compiler/live_vars.m:
	Add this array to the data structure passed around by the code that
	gathers live sets. Add code to compute the array.

	Pass that data structure to the code that records live sets. We used
	to pass the goal_info, but that turns out to not be needed.

	Use the array to filter out dummy variables *before* adding them
	to live sets.

7487590f2d Predicates with many variables, such as some of those in zm_enums.m,
Estimated hours taken: 24
Branches: main

Predicates with many variables, such as some of those in zm_enums.m,
tickle pretty bad behavior in the liveness and stack_alloc passes.
This is because those passes manipulate sets of variables, which in
such cases are large sets of variables, and the quadratic behavior
of repeated operations on sets represents as sorted lists hurts us.

This diff changes the representation of the sets of variables involved
in those two passes, which are the prebirth, postbirth, predeath and postdeath
sets in goal_infos, to be values of an abstract type (set_of_progvar).
By default, these are implemented using tree_bitsets, which have much better
worst case behaviour that set_ordlists.

When compiling zm_enums with debugging enabled, this diff speeds up
the liveness pass by about half and the stack alloc pass by about a third,
with the overall speedup being about 6% (due to some other expensive passes).

On tools/speedtest -l, the result is a 3.4% slowdown. Since the slowdown
worsens slightly if I make the abstract representation of sets of prog_vars
be the existing representation (an ordinary set), I think this slowdown is
due to the conversions that are now required in some places between the
abstract representation and an explicit set(prog_var) representation.
As such, as other uses of set(progvar) get converted to set_of_progvar,
this slowdown should disappear.

compiler/set_of_var.m:
	The new module that contains the set_of_progvar abstract data type.

	This module also contains a copy of the code of the graph_colour
	module. Since the set_of_progvar type is private, this is necessary
	if we want all the set operations done by graph colouring (which does
	the bulk of the work of the stack alloc pass) to use the preferred
	set representation.

compiler/graph_colour.m:
	Note that this module is no longer used.

compiler/stack_alloc.m:
compiler/liveness.m:
	Switch over to using the new module.

compiler/parse_tree.m:
	Include set_of_var among the modules of this package. (It is in this
	package because the prog_var type is defined in this package.)

compiler/test_bitset.m:
	A module that allows new set implementations to be tested. It is
	an extended and specialized version of the bitset_tester module
	from tests/hard_coded.

compiler/hlds_llds.m:
	Use the set_of_progvar type for the prebirth, postbirth, predeath
	and postdeath sets in goal_infos, and for other liveness-related
	sets of variables.

compiler/code_info.m:
	Some of the fields of the code_info structure represent sets of
	variables, and some of the predicates defined by this module have
	arguments that are sets of variables. If these sets represent entities
	that are computed from prebirth, postbirth, predeath and postdeath
	sets or from other goal_info fields that have been changed to the
	set_of_progvar representation, change them to use the set_of_progvar
	representation as well, or, in a few cases, to plain sorted lists.

	Conform to the above change.

compiler/proc_type.m:
	Add a utility predicate to operate of set_of_progvar.

	Replace a lambda expression with a named predicate.

compiler/quantification.m:
	Until now, quantification.m used its own private abstract type
	(defined as tree_bitset) to represent sets. Make it use set_of_progvar
	instead, since it has the same purpose. This eliminates a potential
	maintenance problem.

library/map.m:
	Add a utility predicate, map.select_sorted_list, which functions the
	same way as map.select, but takes a sorted list as argument instead of
	a set.

library/set_ordlist.m:
	Bring the interface of this module closer to set.m and tree_bitset.m
	to make them more easily interchangeable. This required adding the
	predicates is_non_empty and is_singleton, as well as adding predicate
	forms of union_list and intersect_list.

	I also added missing type_spec pragmas for some predicates frequently
	used by the compiler.

library/tree_bitset.m:
	Bring the interface of this module closer to set.m and set_ordlist.m
	to make them more easily interchangeable. This required adding the
	predicates is_non_empty and is_singleton, and both function and
	predicate forms of union_list and intersect_list.

	Fix an old bug in the difference operation. Given SetA - SetB,
	if SetA was the empty set, then this operation would correctly
	return the empty set if SetB was small (represented by a leaf list),
	but would incorrectly return SetB if it was large (represented by
	an interior node list).

a2cd0da5b3 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.

	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".

	Move the goal_path module from the check_hlds package to the hlds
	package.

ffad388738 Fix problems with the ssdebug transformation at higher optimisation levels
Branches: main, 10.04

Fix problems with the ssdebug transformation at higher optimisation levels
and with less conventional code.

compiler/ssdebug.m:
        Transform code without relying on a determinism pass afterwards.

        Handle procedures with inferred determinisms tighter than declared
        determinisms, i.e. inferred semidet but declared cc_nondet, and
        inferred cc_multi but declared cc_nondet.  We transform the procedure
        according to the inferred determinism, but in those two cases we have
        to introduce promise_equivalent_solutions scopes.

        Do not treat input arguments with more precise final insts,
        i.e. ground >> bound(...), as if they were output arguments.

        Handle procedures with existentially typed head variables.  The
        corresponding type_info argument is an output variable, which gets
        renamed away to a temporary variable, and is only assigned just before
        leaving the procedure.  At the point where we build up the variable
        list for the exit port, we must use the temporary variable.

        Factor out common code in the four process_proc* predicates.

compiler/mercury_compile_middle_passes.m:
        Remove an unnecessary determinism pass.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
        Make define_new_pred take a sym_name as the name of the predicate to
        define.  Thus the new predicate does not have to have the current
        module as the module qualifier.

compiler/loop_inv.m:
        Auxiliary predicates generated from procedures with the same name from
        different modules could clash (in target code) if they had the same
        line number.  Retain the module qualifier from the original predicate
        to distinguish between them.

        However, that is still not enough to distinguish special predicates.
        Use the predicate id in place of a counter to distinguish between
        special predicates for different types.  This should only affect
        ssdebug grades; special predicates normally wouldn't contain anything
        to hoist.

compiler/pd_info.m:
compiler/tupling.m:
compiler/untupling.m:
        Conform to change to define_new_pred.

compiler/unused_args.m:
        Simplify a bit of code.

4ebe3d0d7e Stop storing globals in the I/O state, and divide mercury_compile.m
Estimated hours taken: 60
Branches: main

Stop storing globals in the I/O state, and divide mercury_compile.m
into smaller, more cohesive modules. (This diff started out as doing
only the latter, but it became clear that this was effectively impossible
without the former, and the former ended up accounting for the bulk of the
changes.)

Taking the globals out of the I/O state required figuring out how globals
data flowed between pieces of code that were often widely separated.
Such flows were invisible when globals could be hidden in the I/O state,
but now they are visible, because the affected code now passes around
globals structures explicitly.

In some cases, the old flow looked buggy, as when one job invoked by
mmc --make could affect the globals value of its parent or the globals value
passed to the next job. I tried to fix such problems when I saw them. I am
not 100% sure I succeeded in every case (I may have replaced old bugs with
new ones), but at least now the flow is out in the open, and any bugs
should be much easier to track down and fix.

In most cases, changes the globals after the initial setup are intended to be
in effect only during the invocation of a few calls. This used to be done
by remembering the initial values of the to-be-changed options, changing their
values in the globals in the I/O state, making the calls, and restoring the old
values of the options. We now simply create a new version of the globals
structure, pass it to the calls to be affected, and then discard it.

In two cases, when discovering reasons why (1) smart recompilation should
not be done or (2) item version numbers should not be generated, the record
of the discovery needs to survive this discarding. This is why in those cases,
we record the discovery by setting a mutable attached to the I/O state.
We use pure code (with I/O states) both to read and to write the mutables,
so this is no worse semantically than storing the information in the globals
structure inside the I/O state. (Also, we were already using such a mutable
for recording whether -E could add more information.)

In many modules, the globals information had to be threaded through
several predicates in the module. In some places, this was made more
difficult by predicates being defined by many clauses. In those cases,
this diff converts those predicates to using explicit disjunctions.

compiler/globals.m:
	Stop storing the globals structure in the I/O state, and remove
	the predicates that accessed it there.

	Move a mutable and its access predicate here from handle_options.m,
	since here is when the mutables treated the same way are.

	In a couple of cases, the value of an option is available in a mutable
	for speed of access from inside performance-critical code. Set the
	values of those mutables from the option when the processing of option
	values is finished, not when it is starting, since otherwise the copies
	of each option could end up inconsistent.

	Validate the reuse strategy option here, since doing it during ctgc
	analysis (a) is too late, and (b) would require an update to the
	globals to be done at an otherwise inconvenient place in the code.
	Put the reuse strategy into the globals structure.

	Two fields in the globals structure were unused. One
	(have_printed_usage) was made redundant when the one predicate
	that used it itself became unused; the other (source_file_map)
	was effectively replaced by a mutable some time ago. Delete
	these fields from the globals.

	Give the fields of the globals structure a distinguishing prefix.

	Put the type declarations, predicate declarations and predicate
	definitions in a consistent order.

compiler/source_file_map.m:
	Record this module's results only in the mutable (it serves as a
	cache), not in globals structure. Use explicitly passed globals
	structure for other purposes.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Rename handle_options as handle_given_options, since it does not
	process THE options to the program, but the options it is given,
	and even during the processing of a single module, it can be invoked
	up the three times in a row, each time being given different options.
	(It was up to four times in a row before this diff.)

	Make handle_given_options explicitly return the globals structure it
	creates. Since it does not take an old global structure as input
	and globals are not stored in the I/O state, it is now clear that
	the globals structure it returns is affected only by the default values
	of the options and the options it processes. Before this diff,
	in the presence of errors in the options, handle_options *could*
	return (implicitly, in the I/O state) the globals structure that
	happened to be in the I/O state when it was invoked.

	Provide a separate predicate for generating a dummy globals based only
	on the default values of options. This allows by mercury_compile.m
	to stop abusing a more general-purpose predicate from handle_options.m,
	which we no longer export.

	Remove the mutable and access predicate moved to globals.m.

compiler/options.m:
	Document the fact that two options, smart_recompilation and
	generate_item_version_numbers, should not be used without seeing
	whether the functionalities they call for have been disabled.

compiler/mercury_compile_front_end.m:
compiler/mercury_compile_middle_passes.m:
compiler/mercury_compile_llds_back_end.m:
compiler/mercury_compile_mlds_back_end.m:
compiler/mercury_compile_erl_back_end.m:
	New modules carved out of the old mercury_compile.m. They each cover
	exactly the areas suggested by their names.

	Each of the modules is more cohesive than the old mercury_compile.m.
	Their code is also arranged in a more logical order, with predicates
	representing compiler passes being defined in the order of their
	invocation.

	Some of these modules export predicates for use by their siblings,
	showing the dependencies between the groups of passes.

compiler/top_level.m:
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Add the new modules.

compiler/mark_static_terms.m:
	Move this module from the ml_backend package to the hlds package,
	since (a) it does not depend on the MLDS in any way, and (b) it is
	also needed by a compiler pass (loop invariants) in the middle passes.

compiler/hlds.m:
compiler/ml_backend.m:
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Reflect mark_static_terms.m's change of package.

compiler/passes_aux.m:
	Move the predicates for dumping out the hLDS here from
	mercury_compile.m, since the new modules also need them.

	Look up globals in the HLDS, not the I/O state.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Store the prefix (common part) of HLDS dump file names in the HLDS
	itself, so that the code moved to passes_aux.m can figure out the
	file name for a HLDS dump without doing system calls.

	Give the field names of some structures prefixes to avoid ambiguity.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Remove the code moved to the other modules. This module now looks
	after only option handling (such as deciding whether to generate .int3
	files, .int files, .opt files etc), and the compilation passes
	up to and including the creation of the first version of the HLDS.
	Everything after that is subcontracted to the new modules.

	Simplify and make explicit the flow of globals information.
	When invoking predicates that could disable smart recompilation,
	check whether they have done so, and if yes, update the globals
	accordingly.

	When compiling via gcc, we need to link into the executable
	the object files of any separate C files we generate for C code
	foreign_procs, which we cannot translate into gcc's internal
	structures without becoming a C compiler as well as a Mercury compiler.
	Instead of adding such files to the accumulating option for extra
	object files in the globals structure, we return their names using
	the already existing mechanism we have always used to link the object
	files of fact tables into the executable.

	Give several predicates more descriptive names. Put predicates
	in a more logical order.

compiler/make.m:
compiler/make.dependencies.m:
compiler/make.module_target.m:
compiler/make.module_dep_file.m:
compiler/make.program_target.m:
compiler/make.util.m:
	Require callers to supply globals structures explicitly, not via the
	I/O state. Afterward pass them around explicitly, passing modified
	versions to mercury_compile.m when invoking it with module- and/or
	task-specific options.

	Due the extensive use of partial application for higher order code
	in these modules, passing around the globals structures explicitly
	is quite tricky here. There may be cases where a predicate uses
	an old globals structure it got from a closure instead of the updated
	module- and/or task-specific globals it should be using, or vice versa.
	However, it is just as likely that, this diff fixes old problems
	by preventing the implicit flow of updated-only-for-one-invocation
	globals structures back to the original invoking context.

	Although I have tried to be careful about this, it is also possible
	that in some places, the code is using an updated-for-an-invocation
	globals structure in some but not all of the places where it
	SHOULD be used.

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.

compiler/*.m:
	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.

compiler/pd_info.m:
	Add prefixes on field names to avoid ambiguities.

	In some modules (e.g. dead_proc_elim), some traversals had to be kept.

	In loop_inv.m, replace a code structure that updated accumulators
	with functions (which prevented the natural use of state variables),
	that in lots of places reconstructed the term it had just
	deconstructed, and obscured the identical handling of different kinds
	of goals, with a structure based on predicates, state variables and
	shared code for different goal types where possible.

they are safe for use as keys in maps since their semantic and structural

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.

672f77c4ec Add a new compiler option. --inform-ite-instead-of-switch.
Estimated hours taken: 20
Branches: main

Add a new compiler option. --inform-ite-instead-of-switch. If this is enabled,
the compiler will generate informational messages about if-then-elses that
it thinks should be converted to switches for the sake of program reliability.

Act on the output generated by this option.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Implement the new option.

	Fix an old bug that could cause us to generate warnings about code
	that was OK in one duplicated copy but not in another (where a switch
	arm's code is duplicated due to the case being selected for more than
	one cons_id).

compiler/options.m:
	Add the new option.

	Add a way to test for the bug fix in simplify.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document the new option.

NEWS:
	Mention the new option.

library/*.m:
mdbcomp/*.m:
browser/*.m:
compiler/*.m:
deep_profiler/*.m:
	Convert if-then-elses to switches at most of the sites suggested by the
	new option. At the remaining sites, switching to switches would have
	nontrivial downsides. This typically happens with the switched-on type
	has many functors, and we treat one or two specially (e.g. cons/2 in
	the cons_id type).

	Perform misc cleanups in the vicinity of the if-then-else to switch
	conversions.

	In a few cases, improve the error messages generated.

compiler/accumulator.m:
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	(Rename and) move insts for particular kinds of goal from
	accumulator.m to hlds_goal.m, to allow them to be used in other
	modules. Using these insts allowed us to eliminate some if-then-elses
	entirely.

compiler/exprn_aux.m:
	Instead of fixing some if-then-elses, delete the predicates containing
	them, since they aren't used, and (as pointed out by the new option)
	would need considerable other fixing if they were ever needed again.

compiler/lp_rational.m:
	Add prefixes to the names of the function symbols on some types,
	since without those prefixes, it was hard to figure out what type
	the switch corresponding to an old if-then-else was switching on.

tests/invalid/reserve_tag.err_exp:
	Expect a new, improved error message.

3bac84403d 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.

NEWS:
	Mention the new predicates in cord.m.

browser/*.m:
compiler/*.m:
mdbcomp/*.m:
slice/*.m:
	Conform to the change to program_representation.m.

compiler/unneeded_code.m:
	Add some debugging infrastructure I used to track down a bug I
	accidentally inserted while making this module use cords.

compiler/options.m:
	Add the options controlling the infrastructure in unneeded_code.m.

0dfb9c4874 New module for directed graphs. This is essentially the relation
Estimated hours taken: 12
Branches: main

library/digraph.m:
	New module for directed graphs.  This is essentially the relation
	module but with more consistent terminology, and with argument
	ordering that suits state variables.  Other differences with the
	relation module:

	- The digraph_key type has a phantom type parameter, which helps to
	  ensure that keys from one digraph are not used with another digraph.

	- Exports a version of digraph.reduced which also returns the mapping
	  between the original digraph keys and the new ones.

	- The implementation of compose/3 doesn't try to use the "domain" and
	  "range" of the graphs (which is meaningless in the relation module
	  anyway).

	- New, more efficient algorithm for is_dag/1.  Correctness proof is
	  documented.

	- components/2 uses a more efficient data representation, and avoids
	  some intermediate data structures.

	- reduced/{2,3} avoids some intermediate data structures.

	- tc/2 avoids some intermediate data structures.

library/library.m:
	Add the new module.

library/relation.m:
	Document that this module is deprecated in favour of digraph.

	Flag relation.init/{0,1} as obsolete (it would be better to flag
	the entire module, or the relation/1 type as obsolete, but Mercury
	does not support this).

NEWS:
	Mention that the new module supersedes relation.m and svrelation.m.

compiler/*.m:
profiler/*.m:
	Use the digraph module rather than the relation module.
