74ce85d476 Provide a mechanism for collecting statistics about tabling operations,
Estimated hours taken: 60
Branches: main

Provide a mechanism for collecting statistics about tabling operations,
and provide a much more convenient mechanism for resetting tables.

Since it would too complex to do this while preserving the capability
of setting --tabling-via-extra-args to no, eliminate that capability
and the option. That option was useful only for measurements of the
performance boost from setting --tabling-via-extra-args to yes in any case,
so users lose no functionality.

Previously, the only way to debug the low level details of the tabling
mechanism was to build a runtime with a specific C macro (MR_TABLE_DEBUG)
and link with that runtime; this was cumbersome. Change that so that
every one of the debuggable tabling macros has a bool argument that says
whether debugging is enabled or not. The compiler can then set this to
MR_TRUE if the new option --table-debug is given, and to MR_FALSE otherwise.
If set to MR_FALSE, the C compiler should optimize away the debug code,
with zero impact on program size or speed.

Since these changes to macros require nontrivial bootstrapping, which we don't
want to do unnecessarily, modify the interface of the tabling macros as
required to support size limits on tables. This diff also implements the
parsing of size limit specifications on tables, but does not implement them
yet; that is for a future change.

To make the syntax simpler, this diff deletes the free-standing fast_loose_memo
pragma. The same functionality is now available with a fast_loose annotation
on an ordinary memo pragma.

Make a bunch of changes to improve readability and maintainability
in the process. These mostly take the form of renaming ambiguous and/or
not sufficiently expressive function symbols.

runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
runtime/mercury_tabling.h:
	Move the description of structure of tables from mercury_stack_layout.h
	to mercury_tabling.h, since we now need it for statistics even if
	execution tracing is not enabled.

	Modify those data structures to have room for the statistics.

	Don't distinguish "strict", "fast_loose" and "specified" memoing
	as separate eval methods; treat them as just different kinds
	of the same eval method: "memo".

	Remove underscores from the names of some types that the style guide
	says shouldn't be there.

runtime/mercury_tabling_preds.h:
runtime/mercury_tabling_macros.h:
	Modify the approach we use for macros that implement the predicates
	of library/table_builtin.m. Instead of selecting between debug and
	nondebug based on whether MR_TABLE_DEBUG is defined or not, add
	an explicit argument controlling this to each debuggable macro.
	The advantage of the new arrangement is that it scales. Another
	argument controls whether we are computing statistics (and if yes,
	where do we put it), and a third argument controls whether we maintain
	back links in the tries and hash tables (this last argument is present
	but is ignored for now).

	Since the values of the arguments will be known when the .c files
	containing calls to these macros are compiled, we pay the space and
	time cost of debugging, statistics gathering and the maintenance of
	back links if and only we need the revelant functionality.

	Provide macros for limited backward compatibility with the old set
	of macros; these allow workspaces created by old compilers to work
	with the new macros in the runtime. The old macros followed the
	naming scheme MR_table_*, the new ones are named MR_tbl_*.

runtime/mercury_table_int_fix_index_body.h:
runtime/mercury_table_int_start_index_body.h:
runtime/mercury_table_type_body.h:
	New files containing parts of the old mercury_tabling.c. Each of these
	files contains the body of the functions that used to be in
	mercury_tabling.c. The new mercury_tabling.c #includes each of these
	files more than once, to provide more than one variant of the old
	function. These variants differ in aspects such as whether debugging
	is enabled or statistics is being collected. Each variant therefore
	incurs only the time costs it needs to. (We pay the space cost of
	having all these variants all the time of course, but this cost
	is negligible.)

runtime/mercury_tabling_stats_defs.h:
runtime/mercury_tabling_stats_nodefs.h:
runtime/mercury_tabling_stats_undefs.h:
	New files that serve as wrappers around the newly #included files,
	controlling how they handle statistics.

runtime/mercury_tabling.c:
	Delete functions now in the new files, and #include them instead.
	Delete the data structures that used to contain summary statistics;
	the new approach keeps statistics in compiler-generated,
	procedure-specific data structures.

runtime/mercury_trace_base.c:
	Use the new versions of the tabling macros to access the I/O table.

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Update some documentation for the movement of code out of
	mercury_tabling.c.

runtime/mercury_types.h:
	Provide forward declarations of the identifiers denoting the new types
	in mercury_tabling.h.

runtime/mercury_grade.h:
	Increment the exec trace version number, since we have changed
	a part of the exec trace structure.

runtime/mercury_bootstrap.h:
	Fix some temporary issues that arise from some renames above.

runtime/mercury_hash_lookup_or_add_body.h:
	Fix comment.

runtime/Mmakefile:
	Mention the new files and the dependencies that involve them.

library/table_builtin.m:
	Provide a type for representing statistics and a predicate for
	printing statistics.

	Use the updated versions of the macros in
	runtime/mercury_tabling_preds.h.

compiler/prog_item.m:
	Change representation of tabling pragmas to allow room for the new
	attributes.

	Allow an item to be marked as being generated by the compiler
	as a result of a pragma memo attribute. We use this for the reset
	and statistics predicates.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Write out the new attributes of the tabling pragma.

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Change the cons_id that used to refer to a procedure's call table root
	to refer to the entirety of the new data structure now containing it.
	The compiler now needs a way to refer to the other components of this
	new data structure, since it contains the statistics.

	As in the runtime, don't distinguish "strict", "fast_loose" and
	"specified" memoing as separate eval methods; treat them as just
	different kinds of the same eval method: "memo".

	Rename some of the uses of the function symbols "c", "java", "il".

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add an extra field in proc_infos for storing any tabling attributes.

	Change the existing proc_info field that records information about
	the kinds of arguments of tabled procedures to record the information
	needed by the debugger too. This was needed to allow us to shift all
	the RTTI for procedure-specific tables (as opposed to the RTTI for
	the global I/O table) from mercury_stack_layout.h to mercury_tabling.h
	without duplicating the data (which would be a maintenance problem).

	Reformat some comments to make them easier to read.

compiler/layout.m:
compiler/layout_out.m:
	Delete the part of the exec trace information that used to record
	RTTI for tables, since this information is not generated only as
	part of the debugger data structures anymore.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Recognize the updated syntax for tabling pragmas.

compiler/add_pragma.m:
	When processing tabling pragmas for inclusion in the HLDS, create
	any reset and statistics predicates they ask for.

compiler/make_hlds_passes.m:
	Export a predicate now needed by add_pragma.m.

	Handle the new attributes on tabling pragmas

compiler/globals.m:
	Change the function symbols of the types describing backends and
	foreign languages to say what they are. Previously, both types (as well
	as several others) included the function symbol "c"; now, they are
	target_c and lang_c respectively.

compiler/table_gen.m:
	Implement the changes described at the top.

	When passing around varsets and vartypes, pass the arguments in the
	standard order.

compiler/goal_util.m:
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	When passing around varsets and vartypes, pass the arguments in the
	standard order.

compiler/rtti.m:
	Provide types for representing the runtime's data structures for
	tabling (which are now significantly more complex than a single word)
	and predicates for manipulating them, for use by both the ml and ll
	backends.

compiler/llds.m:
	Replace the comp_gen_c_var type with the tabling_info_struct type,
	which contains the information needed to create the per-procedure
	tabling data structures.

	Replace references to call tables with references to the various
	components of the new tabling data structures.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Add code to write out tabling_info_structs.

	Delete the code required for the old, hacky way of resetting tables.

	Reorder some code more logically.

compiler/proc_gen.m:
	Generate tabling_info_structs.

compiler/stack_layout.m:
	Don't generate the information now generated in proc_gen.m.

compiler/mlds.m:
	Give mlds_proc_labels their own function symbols, instead of using
	a pair. Rename some other function symbols to avoid ambiguity and add
	expressiveness.

	Provide for the representation of references to the various components
	of the new tabling data structures, and for the representation of their
	types.

compiler/ml_code_gen.m:
	When generating code for a tabled procedure, generate also the data
	structures required for its table.

compiler/rtti_to_mlds.m:
compiler/ml_util.m:
	Move some predicates from rtti_to_mlds.m to ml_util.m, since we
	now also want to call them from ml_code_gen.m.

	Add some utility predicates.

	Add the new --table-debug option.

faa18a15bd Fix the bug with initialisers/finalisers in libraries not being called ( and
Estimated hours taken: 7
Branches: main, release

Fix the bug with initialisers/finalisers in libraries not being called ( and
as consequence also fixes the bug with mutables not being given their correct
initial value).  The problem was that the directives necessary to call them
were not being included in the libraries' .init file.

The fix is to add a new mode of operation to mkinit that given a list of
.c files that make up some Mercury library, constructs the .init file for
that library.  In particular, it now constructs the .init file so that
it contains any REQUIRED_{INIT,FINAL} directives needed by the library.
The new mode of operation is invoked when mkinit is given the `-k' option.

Modify the build systems (i.e. mmake and mmc --make) to conform to the
above change.

compiler/modules.m:
	Change the rule mmake uses to build .init files so that it calls
	mkinit -k on all the .c files generated for the library.

scripts/Mmake.vars.in:
	Add a new mmake variable MKLIBINIT.  This is the program used to
	create .init files.  (It will nearly always be mkinit.)

compiler/compile_target_code.m:
	Change how .init files are built.  We now have to call mkinit -k to
	scan all of the .c files to write out the correct set of INIT,
	REQUIRED_INIT and REQUIRED_FINAL directives.  The code here is
	that used by mmc --make for creating the .init files.

compiler/make.program_target.m:
	Build the .init file after building the .c files, since building
	it before will no longer work.

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.

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

	error message specifications; print those specifications (using
	error_util) in only a few places.

2e04ddc748 Remove the architecture string from the installed directory structure
Estimated hours taken: 1
Branches: main and 0.12

Remove the architecture string from the installed directory structure
and put the executables in $PREFIX/bin, instead of
$PREFIX/lib/mercury/bin/$FULLARCH.

The reason for this change is to reduce the need for unix shell scripts in
the top-level bin directory that call the actual programs in the
lib/mercury/bin/FULLARCH directory.  The unix scripts can't be run on Windows
without a unix emulation environment like Cygwin.

Because the executables are now in the top-level bin directory, we cannot
install multiple architectures under the same directory structure.  However
this is not a real loss, since the binaries for different architectures can
just be installed to different locations, as we currently do anyway on
mundula.cs.mu.oz.au.

The plan is to rename mercury_compile to mmc and do away with the mmc unix
script.  This will allow mmc to be run on Windows without Cygwin or MSYS.
This proposal replaces a previous proposal to implement a C version of the
mmc script.  That solution turned out to be quite complicated and
unreliable.

This diff will also mean mdice, mslice and mtc_union will be in the same
directory as mmc, so will be in the PATH as long as mmc is in the PATH.

1ed891b7b1 Introduce a mechanism for extending the det and nondet stacks when needed.
Estimated hours taken: 24
Branches: main

Introduce a mechanism for extending the det and nondet stacks when needed.
The mechanism takes the form of a new grade component, .exts ("extend stacks").

While the new mechanism may be useful in its own right, it is intended mainly
to support a new implementation of minimal model tabling, which will use a
separate Mercury context for each distinct subgoal. Each context has its own
det and nondet stack. Clearly, we can't have hundreds of contexts each with
megabyte sized det stacks. The intention is that the stacks of the subgoals
will start small, and be expanded when needed.

The runtime expansion of stacks doesn't work yet, but it is unnecessarily
hard to debug without an installed compiler that understands the new grade
component, which is why this diff will be committed before that is fixed.

	Instead of implementing memalign if it is not provided by the operating
	system, implement a function that allows us to reallocate the returned
	area of memory.

	Provide a prototype implementation of memory zone extension. It doesn't
	work yet.

	Factor out the code for setting up redzones, since it is now needed
	in more than place.

	pointer but the offset of maxfr from the start of the nondet stack,

Estimated hours taken: 3.5
Branches: main

Simplify the structure of the compiler by removing the cycle
parse_tree -> backend_libs -> check_hlds -> parse_tree
from the package dependency graph.

I've done this by factoring out the code in backend_libs.foreign
and backend_libs.name_mangle that is needed by the frontend of
the compiler and putting it in a new module, parse_tree.prog_foreign.
This removes the dependency between the parse_tree and backend_libs
packages.

The obvious downside to this is that the name mangler is now
split in two, although such a division was always in implicit
in the predicates of the name_mangle module anyway, ie. between
those bits that operate on the HLDS/MLDS/LLDS level data structures
and those that don't.

Estimated hours taken: weeks
Branches: main

Implement a mechanism to generate the information required to determine the
algorithmic complexity of selected procedures.

The basis of the mechanism is a program transformation that wraps up the body
of each selected procedure in code that detects top-level (non-recursive)
calls, and for each top-level call, records the sizes of the input arguments
and information about the cost of the call. For now, the cost information
consists only of the number of cells and words allocated during the call,
but there is provision for later adding information from a real-time clock.

	each potential reason to inline procedures.

	shell; it will be expanded later.

514d3e2891 This is phase 1 of a 2 phase diff to get Mercury shared libs working on Mac OS
Estimated hours taken: 20
Branches: main

This is phase 1 of a 2 phase diff to get Mercury shared libs working on Mac OS
X.  In this phase support for three new compiler options (documented below) are
added.  In the next phase changes to the configure scripts that use these
options will be committed.

Darwin shared libraries have the extension `dylib' instead of `so'.  Also
objects that link to a shared library on Darwin don't need to be told the
runtime path in which they should look for the libraries, instead the
shared libraries themselves remember where they will be eventually installed
(called the install-name) and any object which links in the shared library will
get the install-name from the shared library at link time.  When a shared
library is built it has to be told where it will be installed which is what
the libtool -install_name option is used for on Darwin.

This diff only enables shared libraries on Darwin, not "bundles" which are
shared objects that can be loaded dynamically at runtime using something like
dlopen.  Therefore the interactive query tool in the debugger still doesn't
work on Mac OS X.

Added three new compiler options :

--shlib-linker-use-install-name :
	A boolean flag to tell the compiler to use the -install_name option
	when building shared libraries.  When this flag is set the following
	options have no effect: --linker-rpath-flag, --linker-rpath-separator,
	--shlib-linker-rpath-flag, --shlib-linker-rpath-separator.

--shlib-linker-install-name-flag :
	The flag name to use ("-install_name" for Darwin).

--shlib-linker-install-name-path :
	The path where the shared library will eventually end up, excluding the
	file name.  The file name is appended to the end before the option
	is passed on to the linker.

compiler/compile_target_code.m
	Passed the install-name options to the linker and made RpathsOpts empty
	if the --shlib-linker-use-install-name flag is set.

compiler/modules.m
	Added get_install_name_option/4 predicate to get the option string to
	set the install-name for a shared library.

compiler/options.m
	Added --shlib-linker-install-name-path,
	--shlib-linker-install-name-flag and --shlib-linker-use-install-name

Estimated hours taken: 32
Branches: main

Major improvements to tabling, of two types. The first is the implementation
of the loopcheck and memo forms of tabling for model_non procedures, and the
second is a start on the implementation of a new method of implementing
minimal model tabling, one that has the potential for a proper fix of the
problem that we currently merely detect with the pneg stack (the detection
is followed by a runtime abort). Since this new method relies on giving each
own generator its own stack, the grade component denoting it is "mmos"
(minimal model own stack). The true name of the existing method is changed
from "mm" to "mmsc" (minimal model stack copy). The grade component "mm"
is now a shorthand for "mmsc"; when the new method works, "mm" will be changed
to be a shorthand for "mmos".

cdf0383b52 Fix a bunch of problems with tabling that I identified in Uppsala.
Estimated hours taken: 32
Branches: main

Fix a bunch of problems with tabling that I identified in Uppsala. These fall
into two categories.

First, the tabling transformations we were using were dividing work up
too finely. This had three bad effects. First, it caused too much time to be
spent on transmitting data to and from library predicates. Second, it made the
transformations hard to document and hard to explain in a paper. Third, it
caused us to misidentify just what the various forms of tabling have in common,
and what forms of tabling work for what determinisms. To fix this problem,
this diff reorients table_builtin.m and table_gen.m from being divided
primarily by determinism to being divided by evaluation method.

Second, we weren't being careful in separating out the parts of the tabling
data structures that are needed only for debugging the tabling system itself.
The fix for this is to introduce a new grade flag, MR_MINIMAL_MODEL_DEBUG,
intended for use by implementors only, to govern whether the tabling data
structures include debug-only components. (If this flag weren't a grade flag,
the sizes of data structures created in files with different values of this
flag could be inconsistent, which is something you don't want when debugging
the complex code of the tabling infrastructure.)

compiler/table_gen.m:
	Reorganize the simple (loopcheck and memo) tabling transformations
	completely. Instead of separate transformations for model_det and
	model_semi predicates, have separate transformations for loopcheck
	and memo predicates, since this makes it easier to see (and to ensure)
	that the transformation follows the required scheme. Instead of
	generating nested if-then-elses, generate switches when possible.

	For model_semi loopcheck and memo predicates, generate Mercury code
	that obeys our scope rules by not binding output variables in the
	condition of the one remaining if-then-else.

	Finetune the minimal model tabling transformation by combining some
	operations where this improves clarity and performance.

	Order the transformation predicates logically, and move the
	documentation of each form of tabling next to the code implementing
	that form of tabling.

	Attach call_table_gen markers to the setup goals that now all
	loopcheck, memo and minimal model tabled predicates have,
	to avoid having to special case the last lookup goal, and to avoid
	having to have separate code for lookups in call tables versus answer
	tables.

	Generate unique and more meaningful variable names. Change some
	predicate names to be more meaningful, both here and in the
	transformed code.

	Factor out some common code, e.g. for generating lookup goals,
	for generating instmap_deltas and for attaching hide_debug_event
	markers to goals.

	Report errors in cases where the arguments of a tabled predicate
	aren't completely input or output.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Be more strict about the determinisms of tabled predicates; permit
	only the determinisms we really support in all cases, and do not
	permit the ones that may happen to work in some cases.

	Conform to the change of the name of a builtin.

compiler/det_report.m:
	Improve the error message for cases when the determinism is
	incompatible with the selected tabling mechanism.

compiler/compile_target_code.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
compiler/options.m:
	Handle the new grade component.

library/private_builtin.m:
	Provide a semipure analog of the imp predicate, a call to which makes
	predicates semipure rather than impure, for use in table_builtin.m.

library/table_builtin.m:
runtime/mercury_tabling_preds.h:
	Change the tabling primitives in the ways required by the changes to
	the tabling transformations.

	Group the primitives by the tabling methods they support, and change
	their names to reflect this.

	Change the implementation of each of the affected predicates to be
	nothing more than the invocation of a macro defined in the new header
	file runtime/mercury_tabling_preds.h. The objective of this change
	is to make it possible for table_gen.m to replace sequences of calls
	to predicates in table_builtin.m with a single extended foreign_proc
	goal whose body just invokes the corresponding macros in sequence.
	That change should improve performance by allowing the variables
	that flow from one tabling primitive to another to stay in x86
	registers, instead of being copied to and from Mercury abstract
	machines registers, which on the x86 aren't real machine registers.
	Benchmarking in Uppsala verified that this is a major cost.

	Mark the foreign types used for tabling as can_pass_as_mercury_type;
	this was the intended use of that assertion. Make them private to the
	module, since the rest of the compiler can now handle this.

	Delete the implementations of the predicates for duplicate checking
	and for returning answers for completed subgoals. Profiling with gprof
	has shown their performance to be critical to the performance of
	minimal model tabling overall, and even with our recent changes,
	the compiler still can't create optimal C code for them. They are
	now implemented with handwritten code in mercury_minimal_model.c.

library/term.m:
	Add two utility predicates for use by table_gen.m.

library/Mmakefile:
	Since much of the implementation of table_builtin.m is now in
	runtime/mercury_tabling_preds.h, make its object files depend
	on that header file.

runtime/mercury_conf_params.h:
runtime/mercury_grade.h:
	Include MR_MINIMAL_MODEL_DEBUG when computing the grade.

runtime/mercury_minimal_model.[ch]:
	Add handwritten code to implement the predicates declared as external
	in table_builtin.m.

	Conform to the new names of the suspension and completion predicates.

	Conform to the presence of debugging fields in tabling data structures
	only if MR_MINIMAL_MODEL_DEBUG is defined.

	Collect a lot more statistics than before.

	Reorder some functions.

	Instead of saving the whole generator stack each time, which the new
	statistics showed to have O(n^2) behavior on some benchmarks, save only
	the segment we need to save.

runtime/mercury_tabling.h:
	Conform to the fact that loopcheck and memo predicates now have
	separate sets of status values, and import mercury_tabling_preds.h.

runtime/mercury_tabling.c:
runtime/mercury_hash_lookup_or_add_body.h:
	Move a huge macro out of mercury_tabling.c to the new file
	mercury_hash_lookup_or_add_body.h for ease of editing, and modify it to
	gather more statistics.

	Make the statistics report easier to read.

runtime/Mmakefile:
	Mention mercury_tabling_preds.h and mercury_hash_lookup_or_add_body.h.

runtime/mercury_wrapper.h:
	Provide a mechanism (--tabling-statistics in MERCURY_OPTIONS)
	that causes the runtime to print tabling statistics at the ends of
	executions, for use in benchmarking.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document --tabling-statistics. (Minimal model tabling is not yet
	stable enough to be documented, which is why .dmm isn't documented
	either.)

scripts/canonical_grade.sh-subr:
scripts/init_grade_options.sh-subr:
scripts/parse_grade_options.sh-subr:
scripts/mgnuc.in:
	Implement the new grade component.

trace/mercury_trace.c:
trace/mercury_trace_internal.c:
	Conform to changes in the runtime.

tests/debugger/*.m:
	Avoid now invalid combinations of determinism and evaluation method.

tests/debugger/*.exp:
	Conform to new goal paths in procedures transformed by tabling.

tests/tabling/*.m:
	For tests which had predicate whose determinisms isn't compatible
	with the evaluation method, change the determinism if possible,
	and the evaluation method otherwise, if either is possible.

	Bring these tests up to date with our coding guidelines, since they
	may now appear in papers.

tests/tabling/Mmakefile:
	Disable the tests whose combination of determinism and evaluation
	method is no longer supported, and in which neither one can be changed.

tests/tabling/loopcheck_no_loop.{m,exp}:
	Make this test case tougher.

tests/tabling/test_tabling:
	Make this script more robust in the face of different kinds of
	test case failures.

tests/invalid/loopcheck.{m,err_exp}:
tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
	Test that we get the expected error message for an invalid combination
	of determinism and evaluation method. The new test invalid/loopcheck.m
	is the old test tabling/loopcheck.m.

tests/valid/Mmakefile:
	Use a more general pattern to test for minimal model grades,
	now that we also use .dmm as a grade component.

c80d143cc8 The following change is only 98% complete, not 100%.
Estimated hours taken: 120
Branches: main

The following change is only 98% complete, not 100%. I am committing it in
this state because (1) we pass many more test cases in deep profiling grade
with it than without it, and (2) the double maintanance involved in fixing
CVS conflicts is preventing me from doing the last 2%.

Get the deep profiler to work for code that sets up to catch exceptions,
which for the last year or more has included the compiler, and to get it
almost working for code that actually catching exceptions.

The basic problem is that code that throws exceptions will in general cause
several calls to "return" without executing the exit or fail port codes that
the deep profiling transformation inserted into their bodies, and this leaves
the data structure being built by the deep profiling inconsistent. The solution
uses the same approach as we have adopted for the debugger: have the code that
handles the throwing of exceptions simulate a return from each call between
the throw and the catch, updating the deep profiling data structures as needed.

This requires us to be able to walk the stack at runtime not just in debugging
grades but also in deep profiling grades. Since the debugger already has the
mechanisms required for this, we reuse them. The procedure layouts used by the
debugger were designed to have three segments: the procedure stack walk
information, the procedure id, and the execution tracing information. We now
modify this design to make the third segment contain two pointers: to the
execution tracing information (for use by the debugger), and to the procedure's
proc_static structure (for use by deep profiling). Each pointer will be null
unless the pointed-to structure is required by compile-time options.

This common use by the debugger and by deep profiling of the stack-walk
structure and the procedure id structure (which deep profiling used to
generate independently and possibly redundantly) required some rearrangement
of the compiler's version of these data structures.

To make this rearrangement simpler, this diff removes a capability that
we theoretically supported but never used: turning on stack traces without
turning on execution tracing and vice versa. After this diff, stack tracing
is enabled if and only if either execution tracing or deep profiling is
enabled.

The diff also includes improvements in the debugging infrastructure for
debugging deep profiling, which were necessary for the implementation of the
rest of the changes.

compiler/deep_profiling.m:
	The code in exception.m needs to know the locations of the variables
	that we would pass to the exit or fail port code, so it can simulate
	leaving the procedure invocation through the exception port. Without
	this information, throwing an exception leaves the deep profiling
	data structures of the procedure invocations between throw and catch
	in an inconsistent state.

	Deep_profiling.m creates these variables, but it doesn't know where
	they will be at runtime, so it records their identities; the code
	generator will allocate them stack slots and record the numbers of
	these stack slots for placement in the now expanded proc layout
	structures. Deep profiling used to generate static data structures
	separately from the HLDS, but since the code generator now needs
	access to them, we store their information in proc_infos in the HLDS.

	Instead of passing the addresses of proc_static structures to the deep
	profiling port procedures, pass the address of proc_layout structures,
	since the information about the identities of procedures are now stored
	not in the proc_static structure, but in the proc_layout structure
	that points to the proc_static structure.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/layout.m:
	Move the definitions of the static data structures generated by deep
	profiling from layout.m to hlds_pred.m, to allow deep_profiling.m
	to store them in proc_infos.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/rtti.m:
	Move the definition of rtti_proc_label from rtti.m to hlds_pred.m,
	since some of the new data structures in hlds_pred.m need it. Despite
	its name, the rtti_proc_label type doesn't contain any info that
	doesn't belong in the HLDS.

	Add some information to the rtti_proc_label type that is now needed
	by deep profiling, e.g. record determinisms instead of just code
	models. Record explicitly the outcome of some tests that used to be
	duplicated in more than one place in the compiler, e.g. for whether
	the procedure (as opposed to the predicate) is imported. Change some
	of the field names to be more precise about the field's meaning.

compiler/code_gen.m:
	Transmit the contents of the deep profiling data structures stored in
	the proc_info by deep_profiling.m to continuation_info.m, together
	with the layout structures created for execution tracing and the
	identities of the variables needed for handling exceptions,
	when code generation for a procedure is complete.

	After the goal that generates these variables, save them to stack
	for use by the exception handler.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add a feature to mark the goal that generates the deep profiling
	variables needed by the exception handler.

compiler/hlds_llds.m:
	Add a utility predicate for new code in code_gen.m

compiler/continuation_info.m:
	Hold the deep profiling information computed by code_gen.m for use by
	stack_layout.m.

compiler/layout.m:
compiler/layout_out.m:
	Update the definitions of the data structures describing procedure
	layouts, and the code writing them out, to reflect the use of some
	parts of procedure layouts by deep profiling as well as debugging.

	Change the layout structures generated by deep profiling to use
	rtti_proc_labels, which are backend independent, instead of
	proc_labels, which are specific to the LLDS backend.

	Conform to the changes in runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h.

compiler/stack_layout.m:
	Generate the updated version of proc_layout structures.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/global_data.m:
	Conform to the fact that deep profiling no longer generates layout
	structures separate from proc_infos.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Register proc_layout structures instead of proc_static structures
	for use by runtime/mercury_deep_profiling.c.

compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
	Rename the require_tracing option as exec_trace, since this more
	directly reflects its meaning.

	Instead of having --debug set both require_tracing and stack_trace,
	make it set (be the user-visible name of) just exec_trace;
	the value of stack_trace is implied.

	Turn off the specialization of deep profiling for self-tail-recursive
	procedures for now. Due to the changes made by this diff in the data
	structures involved in debugging, it cannot be debugged until this
	change has been installed. Handling the full language is more important
	than a specialization that reduces only stack space overheads, not
	runtime overheads.

compiler/compile_target_code.m:
	Conform to the changes in options.m and runtime/mercury_grade.h.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Replace the deep_profiling_proc_static cons_id, and its associated tag,
	to deep_profiling_proc_layout, since we now generate addresses of proc
	layout structures, not of proc_static structures.

compiler/code_util.m:
	Simplify some code based on the new info in rtti_proc_labels.

compiler/bytecode_gen.m:
compiler/dependency_graph.m:
compiler/higher_order.m:
compiler/hlds_out.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
compiler/ml_code_util.m:
compiler/ml_unify_gen.m:
compiler/opt_debug.m:
compiler/proc_label.m:
compiler/prog_rep.m:
compiler/rl_exprn.m:
compiler/rtti_out.m:
compiler/rtti_to_mlds.m:
compiler/saved_vars.m:
compiler/switch_util.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Minor changes to conform to the change from deep_profiling_proc_static
	to deep_profiling_proc_layout, to the change in the structure of
	rtti_proc_labels, to the changes in types of layout.m, and/or to the
	new goal feature.

deep_profiler/measurements.m:
	Reserve space for exception counts.

deep_profiler/html_format.m:
	Add a column for exception counts.

deep_profiler/profile.m:
deep_profiler/read_profile.m:
	Rename the data structures referring to compiler generated unify,
	compare and index predicates to avoid misleading names: they are
	not the only compiler generated predicates.

deep_profiler/read_profile.m:
runtime/mercury_deep_profiling.c:
	Update the string that identifies deep profiling data files.
	This is necessary because the format has changed: it now includes
	information about exception port counts.

library/exception.m:
	In deep profiling grades, execute the exception port code for every
	procedure invocation between a throw and a catch, using the procedure
	layout structures now generated by the compiler for every procedure.
	Rename the function involved to reflect its new, more general purpose.

	Update the definitions of the hand-written proc_static and proc_layout
	structures for the procedures implemented via hand-written C code.

	Indent C preprocessor directives and foreign_procs according to our
	coding standards.

library/profiling_builtin.m:
	Change the parameters of the call port code procedures from proc_static
	to proc_layout. Reach the proc_static structure from the proc_layout
	structure when needed. Include the proc_layout structure in any
	messages from assertion failures.

	Add some conditionally compiled debugging code.

	Give some variables better names.

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
runtime/mercury_builtin_types.c:
	Move the macros required to create the proc_static structures
	of unify and compare predicates from mercury_type_info.h
	to mercury_builtin_types.c, since the latter is the only file
	that needs them.

	Use the same macros for creating the proc_static structures
	of hand-written unify, compare and compare_reprentation predicates
	as for user defined predicates. This required changing their naming
	scheme.

runtime/mercury_unify_compare_body.h:
	Conform to the new naming scheme.

runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
	Provide the mechanism for mercury_unify_compare_body.h to conform
	to the new naming scheme.

	Remove the definitions of the proc_static structures for
	hand-written unify, compare and compare_reprentation predicates,
	since these now have to be defined together with the corresponding
	proc_layout structures in mercury_builtin_types.c.

runtime/mercury_builtin_types.[ch]:
	Update the definitions of the hand-written proc_static and proc_layout
	structures for the procedures implemented via hand-written C code,
	and add the required declarations first.

	Handle deep profiling of compare_representation as well as unify
	and compare predicates on builtin types.

	Handle deep profiling of compare_representation on user-defined types,
	since this is done entirely in the runtime, not by compiler generated
	predicates.

runtime/mercury_builtin_types_proc_layouts.h:
	New header file containing the declarations of the proc layout
	structures of the unify, compare and index predicates of builtin types.
	Logically, these declarations belong in mercury_builtin_types.h,
	but putting them there causes problems for the linker; the details
	are explained in the file itself.

runtime/Mmakefile:
	Add the new header file.

runtime/mercury_minimal_model.[ch]:
	Update the definitions of the hand-written proc_static and proc_layout
	structures for the procedures implemented via hand-written C code,
	and add the required declarations first.

runtime/mercury_grade.h:
	Replace the MR_REQUIRE_TRACING grade option with MR_EXEC_TRACING.
	Besides being better named, the MR_EXEC_TRACING option implies
	MR_STACK_TRACE.

	Besides the overall binary compatibility version number, add subsidiary
	version numbers for binary compatibility in deep profiling and
	debugging grades. These will make it easier to bootstrap changes
	(such as this) that affect binary compatibility only in such grades.

runtime/mercury_trace_base.c:
trace/mercury_trace.c:
	Conform to the new names of the configuration parameters.

runtime/mercury_hand_compare_body.h:
runtime/mercury_hand_unify_body.h:
runtime/mercury_hand_unify_compare_body.h:
runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
tools/make_port_code:
	Pass proc_layout structures instead of proc_static structures
	to deep profiling port routines.

runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
	Make MR_DEEP_PROFILING as well as MR_EXEC_TRACING imply MR_STACK_TRACE,
	since deep profiling now needs stack tracing. (MR_STACK_TRACE needs
	to be set in this file, because tests in this file depend on knowing
	its value, and this file is among the first files included (in this
	case indirectly) in mercury_imp.h.)

	Document the macros controlling the debugging of deep profiling.

	Enable printing of label names when the relevant deep profiling
	debugging macro is set.

runtime/mercury_debug.c:
runtime/mercury_deep_rec_depth_actions.h:
runtime/mercury_deep_rec_depth_body.h:
runtime/mercury_exception_catch_body.h:
	Get to proc_statics via proc_layouts.

runtime/mercury_deep_call_port_body.c:
runtime/mercury_deep_leave_port_body.c:
	Get to proc_statics via proc_layouts.

	Allow the debugger to disable deep profiling in Mercury code that is
	part of the debugger, not of the user program being executed.

	Add some more assertions.

runtime/mercury_engine.[ch]:
	Add a new debugging flag that controls at runtime whether we generate
	a human readable Deep.debug equivalent to the binary Deep.data files.
	(We already had a mechanism for controlling this at compile time,
	but this isn't flexible enough.)

runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
	Allow this new debugging flag to be set from MERCURY_OPTIONS.

runtime/mercury_deep_profiling.[ch]:
	Respect this new debugging flag.

	Update the hand-written proc_static structures representing the runtime
	system.

	deep profiling now uses the procedure id in the proc_layout structure.

	Add to proc_static structures fields that specify where, if anywhere,
	the variables needed by exception.m to executed the exception port code
	are in the procedure's stack frame.

	Define a global flag that allows the debugger to disable deep
	profiling in Mercury code that is part of the debugger, not of the

	Increase type safety by providing two versions of the function
	for registering proc_layouts, one for the proc_layout structures
	of user-defined predicates and one for unify, compare and index

	Fix a bug that occurs only if MR_DEEP_PROFILING_EXPLICIT_CALL_COUNTS is
	defined (which it usually isn't): the initial call count was wrong.

runtime/mercury_deep_profiling_hand.h:
	Fix a bug: the handwritten code saving deep profiling variables was

	for example, it allows some directories (e.g. runtime or library)
	to be compiled with more debugging than other directories (e.g.
	compiler). This may be required because compiling all directories
	with lots of debugging may cause the linker to thrash.

	Add an option, --disable-debug-libs, that clobbers the libraries

ecdc285bc7 Split the existing browser library into two libraries, by making the
Estimated hours taken: 10
Branches: main

Split the existing browser library into two libraries, by making the
program_representation module into its own library. This is useful because
the compiler refers to program_representation.m, whose code thus needs to be
linked into compiler executables even if the compiler isn't compiled with
debugging enabled. By creating a new library for this module, we avoid any
chance of the linker dragging in the rest of the modules in the browser
library. (This is a problem with an upcoming diff.).

The name of the new library is "mdbcomp", because the intention is that it
contain code that is shared between the debugger and the compiler. This means
mostly the definitions of data structures that the compiler generates for the
debugger, and the predicates that operate on them.

Mmake.common.in:
	Allow MDB_COMP_ as a prefix for symbol names in the browser directory.

Mmake.workspace:
	Add a make variable holding for the name of the new library, and
	add the name to the relevant lists of libraries.

f007b45df8 Implement the infrastructure for term size profiling.
Estimated hours taken: 400
Branches: main

Implement the infrastructure for term size profiling. This means adding two
new grade components, tsw and tsc, and implementing them in the LLDS code
generator. In grades including tsw (term size words), each term is augmented
with an extra word giving the number of heap words it contains; in grades
including tsc (term size cells), each term is augmented with an extra word
giving the number of heap cells it contains. The extra word is at the start,
at offset -1, to leave almost all of the machinery for accessing the heap
unchanged.

For now, the only way to access term sizes is with a new mdb command,
"term_size <varspec>". Later, we will use term sizes in conjunction with
deep profiling to do experimental complexity analysis, but that requires
a lot more research. This diff is a necessary first step.

The implementation of term size profiling consists of three main parts:

- a source-to-source transform that computes the size of each heap cell
  when it is constructed (and increments it in the rare cases when a free
  argument of an existing heap cell is bound),

- a relatively small change to the code generator that reserves the extra
  slot in new heap cells, and

- extensions to the facilities for creating cells from C code to record
  the extra information we now need.

The diff overhauls polymorphism.m to make the source-to-source transform
possible. This overhaul includes separating type_ctor_infos and type_infos
as strictly as possible from each other, converting type_ctor_infos into
type_infos only as necessary. It also includes separating type_ctor_infos,
type_infos, base_typeclass_infos and typeclass_infos (as well as voids,
for clarity) from plain user-defined type constructors in type categorizations.
This change needs this separation because values of those four types do not
have size slots, but they ought to be treated specially in other situations
as well (e.g. by tabling).

The diff adds a new mdb command, term_size. It also replaces the proc_body
mdb command with new ways of using the existing print and browse commands
("print proc_body" and "browse proc_body") in order to make looking at
procedure bodies more controllable. This was useful in debugging the effect
of term size profiling on some test case outputs. It is not strictly tied
to term size profiling, but turns out to be difficult to disentangle.

compiler/size_prof.m:
	A new module implementing the source-to-source transform.

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

compiler/transform_hlds.m:
	Include size_prof as a submodule of transform_hlds.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	If term size profiling is enabled, invoke its source-to-source
	transform.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Extend construction unifications with an optional slot for recording
	the size of the term if the size is a constant, or the identity of the
	variable holding the size, if the size is not constant. This is
	needed by the source-to-source transform.

compiler/quantification.m:
	Treat the variable reference that may be in this slot as a nonlocal
	variable of construction unifications, since the code generator needs
	this.

compiler/compile_target_code.m:
	Handle the new grade components.

compiler/options.m:
	Implement the options that control term size profiling.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document the options and grade components that control term size
	profiling, and the term_size mdb command. The documentation is
	commented out for now.

	Modify the wording of the 'u' HLDS dump flag to include other details
	of unifications (e.g. term size info) rather than just unification
	categories.

	Document the new alternatives of the print and browse commands. Since
	they are for developers only, the documentation is commented out.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Handle the implications of term size profiling grades.

	Add a -D flag value to print HLDS components relevant to HLDS
	transformations.

compiler/modules.m:
	Import the new builtin library module that implements the operations
	needed by term size profiling automatically in term size profiling
	grades.

	Switch the predicate involved to use state var syntax.

compiler/prog_util.m:
	Add predicates and functions that return the sym_names of the modules
	needed by term size profiling.

compiler/code_info.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:
compiler/var_locn.m:
 	Reserve an extra slot in heap cells and fill them in in unifications
	marked by size_prof.

compiler/builtin_ops.m:
	Add term_size_prof_builtin.term_size_plus as a builtin, with the same
	implementation as int.+.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Disable warnings about clauses for builtins while the change to
	builtin_ops is bootstrapped.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Export predicates that generate goals to create type_infos and
	type_ctor_infos to add_to_construct.m. Rewrite their documentation
	to make it more detailed.

	Make orders of arguments amenable to the use of state variable syntax.

	Consolidate knowledge of which type categories have builtin unify and
	compare predicates in one place.

	Add code to leave the types of type_ctor_infos alone: instead of
	changing their types to type_info when used as arguments of other
	type_infos, create a new variable of type type_info instead, and
	use an unsafe_cast. This would make the HLDS closer to being type
	correct, but this new code is currently commented out, for two
	reasons. First, common.m is currently not smart enough to figure out
	that if X and Y are equal, then similar unsafe_casts of X and Y
	are also equal, and this causes the compiler do not detect some
	duplicate calls it used to detect. Second, the code generators
	are also not smart enough to know that if Z is an unsafe_cast of X,
	then X and Z do not need separate stack slots, but can use the same
	slot.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Add utility predicates for returning the types of type_infos and
	type_ctor_infos, for use by new code in polymorphism.m.

	Move some utility predicates here from other modules, since they
	are now used by more than one module.

	Rename the type `builtin_type' as `type_category', to better reflect
	what it does. Extend it to put the type_info, type_ctor_info,
	typeclass_info, base_typeclass_info and void types into categories
	of their own: treating these types as if they were a user-defined
	type (which is how they used to be classified) is not always correct.
	Rename the functor polymorphic_type to variable_type, since types
	such as list(T) are polymorphic, but they fall into the user-defined
	category. Rename user_type as user_ctor_type, since list(int) is not
	wholly user-defined but falls into this category. Rename pred_type
	as higher_order_type, since it also encompasses functions.

	Replace code that used to check for a few of the alternatives
	of this type with code that does a full switch on the type,
	to ensure that they are updated if the type definition ever
	changes again.

compiler/pseudo_type_info.m:
	Delete a predicate whose updated implementation is now in type_util.m.

compiler/mlds_to_c.m:
compiler/mlds_to_gcc.m:
compiler/mlds_to_il.m:
compiler/mlds_to_java.m:
	Still treat type_infos, type_ctor_infos, typeclass_infos and

	they won't be.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Require interface typeinfo liveness when term size profiling is
	enabled.

	Add term_size_profiling_builtin.increase_size as a
	no_type_info_builtin.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Print the size annotations on unifications if HLDS dump flags call
	for unification details. (The flag test is in the caller of the
	modified predicate.)

compiler/llds.m:
	Extend incr_hp instructions and data_addr_consts with optional fields
	that allow the code generator to refer to N words past the start of
	a static or dynamic cell. Term size profiling uses this with N=1.

	Fix a bug caused by a missing backslash.

runtime/mercury_heap.h:
	Change the basic macros for allocating new heap cells to take

	word at the start (which is ignored by all components of the
	system except term size profiling) for holding the size of the term.

	Provide macros for preserving the old interface presented by this file

	Add diagnostic macros to debug heap allocations, and the functions
	behind them if MR_DEBUG_HEAP_ALLOC is defined.

	Update the debugging routines for hand-allocated cells to print the
	values of the term size slot as well as the other slots in the relevant
	grades.

runtime/mercury_string.h:
	Provide some needed variants of the macro for copying strings.

runtime/mercury_deconstruct_macros.h:
runtime/mercury_type_info.c:
	Supply type information when constructing terms.

runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h:
	Preserve the term size slot when copying terms.

runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h:
runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
runtime/mercury_ml_expand_body.h:
	Use MR_offset_incr_hp instead of MR_incr_hp to ensure that all places
	that allocate cells also allocate space for the term size slot if
	necessary.

	Reduce code duplication by using a now standard macro for copying
	strings.

runtime/mercury_grade.h:
	Handle the two new grade components.

runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
	Document the C macros used to control the two new grade components,
	as well as MR_DEBUG_HEAP_ALLOC.

	Detect incompatibilities between high level code and profiling.

runtime/mercury_term_size.[ch]:
	A new module to house a function to find and return term sizes
	stored in heap cells.

runtime/mercury_proc_id.h:
runtime/mercury_univ.h:
	New header files. mercury_proc_id.h contains the (unchanged)
	definition of MR_Proc_Id, while mercury_univ.h contains the
	definitions of the macros for manipulating univs that used to be
	in mercury_type_info.h, updated to use the new macros for allocating
	memory.

	In the absence of these header files, the following circularity
	would ensue:

	mercury_deep_profiling.h includes mercury_stack_layout.h
		- needs definition of MR_Proc_Id
	mercury_stack_layout.h needs mercury_type_info.h
		- needs definition of MR_PseudoTypeInfo
	mercury_type_info.h needs mercury_heap.h
		- needs heap allocation macros for MR_new_univ_on_hp
	mercury_heap.h includes mercury_deep_profiling.h
		- needs MR_current_call_site_dynamic for recording allocations

	Breaking the circular dependency in two places, not just one, is to
	minimize similar problems in the future.

runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
	Delete the definition of MR_Proc_Id, which is now in mercury_proc_id.h.

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Delete the macros for manipulating univs, which are now in
	mercury_univ.h.

runtime/Mmakefile:
	Mention the new files.

runtime/mercury_imp.h:
runtime/mercury.h:
runtime/mercury_construct.c:
runtime/mercury_deep_profiling.h:
	Include the new files at appropriate points.

runtime/mercury.c:
	Change the names of the functions that create heap cells for
	hand-written code, since the interface to hand-written code has
	changed to include type information.

runtime/mercury_tabling.h:
	Delete some unused macros.

runtime/mercury_trace_base.c:
runtime/mercury_type_info.c:
	Use the new macros supplying type information when constructing lists.

scripts/canonical_grade_options.sh-subr:
	Fix an undefined sh variable bug that could cause error messages
	to come out without identifying the program they were from.

scripts/init_grade_options.sh-subr:
scripts/parse_grade_options.sh-subr:
scripts/canonical_grade_options.sh-subr:
scripts/mgnuc.in:
	Handle the new grade components and the options controlling them.

trace/mercury_trace_internal.c:
	Implement the mdb command "term_size <varspec>", which is like
	"print <varspec>", but prints the size of a term instead of its value.
	In non-term-size-profiling grades, it prints an error message.

	Replace the "proc_body" command with optional arguments to the "print"
	and "browse" commands.

doc/user_guide.tex:
	Add documentation of the term_size mdb command. Since the command is
	for implementors only, and works only in grades that are not yet ready
	for public consumption, the documentation is commented out.

	Add documentation of the new arguments of the print and browse mdb
	commands. Since they are for implementors only, the documentation
	is commented out.

trace/mercury_trace_vars.[ch]:
	Add the functions needed to implement the term_size command, and
	factor out the code common to the "size" and "print"/"browse" commands.

	Decide whether to print the name of a variable before invoking the
	supplied print or browse predicate on it based on a flag design for
	this purpose, instead of overloading the meaning of the output FILE *
	variable. This arrangement is much clearer.

trace/mercury_trace_browse.c:
trace/mercury_trace_external.c:
trace/mercury_trace_help.c:
	Supply type information when constructing terms.

browser/program_representation.m:
	Since the new library module term_size_prof_builtin never generates
	any events, mark it as such, so that the declarative debugger doesn't
	expect it to generate any.

	Do the same for the deep profiling builtin module.

tests/debugger/term_size_words.{m,inp,exp}:
tests/debugger/term_size_cells.{m,inp,exp}:
	Two new test cases, each testing one of the new grades.

tests/debugger/Mmakefile:
	Enable the two new test cases in their grades.

	Disable the tests sensitive to stack frame sizes in term size profiling
	grades.

tests/debugger/completion.exp:
	Add the new "term_size" mdb command to the list of command completions,
	and delete "proc_body".

tests/debugger/declarative/dependency.{inp,exp}:
	Use "print proc_body" instead of "proc_body".

tests/hard_coded/nondet_c.m:
tests/hard_coded/pragma_inline.m:
	Use MR_offset_incr_hp instead of MR_incr_hp to ensure that all places
	that allocate cells also allocate space for the term size slot if
	necessary.

tests/valid/Mmakefile:
	Disable the IL tests in term size profiling grades, since the term size
	profiling primitives haven't been (and probably won't be) implemented
	for the MLDS backends, and handle_options causes a compiler abort
	for grades that combine term size profiling and any one of IL, Java
	and high level C.

404a95cdd7 Remove Unix dependencies in the compiler.
Estimated hours taken: 50
Branches: main

Remove Unix dependencies in the compiler.

Avoid calling passes_aux.invoke_shell_command, which
requires the presence of a Unix shell.

The implementation of fact tables still has dependencies
on Unix utilities (e.g. sort).

aclocal.m4:
	Don't pass Unix style paths to MSVC.

configure.in:
	Use `cygpath -m' rather than `cygpath -w'.
	`cygpath -m' uses '/' as the directory separator,
	so it doesn't cause quoting problems in shell
	scripts.

	Apply $CYGPATH to $PREFIX, $LIBDIR, $CONFIG_PREFIX
	and $CONFIG_LIBDIR.

	Don't pass `-lm' when linking with MSVC.

configure.in:
compiler/options.m:
scripts/Mercury.config.in:
	Add extra configuration options to deal with differences
	between linking with gcc and MSVC:
		--linker-opt-separator
		--linker-link-lib-flag
		--linker-link-lib-suffix
		--shlib-linker-link-lib-flag
		--shlib-linker-link-lib-suffix
		--linker-path-flag

NEWS:
doc/user_guide.texi:
compiler/options.m:
compiler/compile_target_code.m:
compiler/make.program_target.m:
	Instead of substituting in an arbitrary shell script when
	processing `--pre-link-command' and `--extra-init-command',
	require that these options specify a command which will
	be passed the name of the source file containing the main
	module as the first argument, with the source files containing
	the remaining modules following. This is simpler and avoids
	dependencies on a shell.

	Fix quote_arg to handle Windows paths better.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Don't attempt to use symlinks if they're not available.

compiler/compile_target_code.m:
	Be more careful about quoting.

	Don't call invoke_shell_command where invoke_system_command
	would do.

	Allow linking using MSVC.

compiler/modules.m:
	Remove make_directory, which is now implemented by dir.m.

	Use io.make_symlink rather than shell scripts.

	Implement mercury_update_interface in Mercury.

compiler/llds_out.m:
compiler/make.program_target.m:
	Use dir.make_directory, not modules.make_directory,
	which has been removed.

compiler/make.module_target.m:
	Invoke mercury_compiler directly, not through the
	mmc script to avoid shell dependencies.

	If we can't fork() child `mmc --make' processes,
	pass the arguments to the child process using a
	file to avoid overflowing system limits on Windows.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/options_file.m:
	Read argument files.

	Handle backslash-newline in options files correctly.

compiler/passes_aux.m:
	invoke_system_command shouldn't set the exit status --
	the caller may be able to try something else.

compiler/process_util.m:
	Export can_fork for use by make.module_target.m.

	Remove hacks to work around bugs in the implementation
	of zero-arity foreign procs.

compiler/prog_io.m:
	Handle bizarre file names without aborting.

library/Mmakefile:
library/print_extra_inits:
	Move code to find extra initialization functions into
	print_extra_inits, due to the change to the handling
	of the --extra-init-command option described above.

scripts/mmc.in:
	Set the MERCURY_COMPILER environment variable if it is
	not already set, so that the mercury_compile executable
	knows where to find itself.

scripts/mercury.bat.in:
	Make this actually work.

tools/bootcheck:
	Set ANALYSIS_LIB_NAME.

	Apply cygpath (-m not -w) to $root.

	Link print_extra_inits into the stage2 and stage3
	library directories.

util/mkinit.c:
	Handle '\\' in path names.

89a4d190c5 Library changes required to make the compiler work on Windows
Estimated hours taken: 120
Branches: main

Library changes required to make the compiler work on Windows
without Cygwin.  (Compiler changes to come separately).

library/dir.m:
	Handle Windows-style paths.

	Change the determinism of dir.basename and dir.split_name.
	dir.basename now fails for root directories (a new function
	dir.basename_det calls error/1 rather than failing).
	dir.split_name fails for root directories or if the pathname
	passed doesn't contain a directory separator.

	Add predicates dir.make_directory, dir.path_name_is_absolute
	and dir.path_name_is_root_directory.

	Add a multi predicate dir.is_directory separator which
	returns all separators for the platform (including '/' on
	Windows), not just the standard one.

	Add a function dir.parent_directory (returns "..").

	Add dir.foldl2 and dir.recursive_foldl2, to iterate through
	the entries in a directory (and maybe its subdirectories).

	Change '/' to correctly handle Windows paths of the form
	"C:"/"foo" and "\"/"foo".

	Don't add repeated directory separators in '/'.

library/io.m:
	Add io.file_type and io.check_file_accessibility.

	Add predicates to deal with symlinks -- io.have_symlinks,
	io.make_symlink and io.follow_symlink.

	Add io.file_id for use by dir.foldl2 to detect
	symlink loops. This is a bit low level, so it's
	not included in the user documentation.

	Add io.(binary_)input_stream_foldl2_io_maybe_stop, which
	is like io.(binary_)input_stream_foldl2_io, but allows
	stopping part of the way through. This is useful for
	implementing `diff'-like functionality to replace
	mercury_update_interface.

	Use Windows-style paths when generating temporary file
	names on Windows.

	Add versions of the predicates to generate error messages
	to handle Win32 errors.

	Add versions of the predicates to generate error messages
	which take a system error code, rather than looking up
	errno. This simplifies things where the error we
	are interested in was not from the last system call.

library/exception.m:
	Add a predicate finally/6 which performs the same function
	as the `finally' clause in languages such as C# and Java.

	Add predicates try_det, try_io_det and try_store_det,
	which only have one mode so they are more convenient
	to pass to promise_only solution.

library/Mmakefile:
	Add dependencies on runtime/mercury_conf.h for files which
	use the MR_HAVE_* macros.

library/string.m:
	Add a function version of string__index.

NEWS:
	Document the new predicates and functions and the change
	of determinism of dir.split_name and dir.basename.

configure.in:
runtime/mercury_conf.h.in:
	Test for lstat, mkdir, symlink and readlink.

runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
	Add a macro MR_BROKEN_ST_INO, which is true if the st_ino
	field of `struct stat' is garbage. Currently defined iff
	MR_WIN32 is defined.

compiler/compile_target_code.m:
compiler/modules.m:
compiler/options_file.m:
compiler/prog_io.m:
compiler/source_file_map.m:
	Changes required by the change of determinism of

1cb657b998 Reduce inappropriate dependencies on ll_backend modules.
Estimated hours taken: 3
Branches: main

Reduce inappropriate dependencies on ll_backend modules. Except for
simplification of unnecessarily complicated logic in dependency_graph.m,
this change only moves functionality around.

compiler/llds_out.m:
compiler/c_util.m:
compiler/name_mangle.m:
	Move predicates that are used by multiple backends from
	ll_backend__llds_out to backend_libs__c_util and to a new module
	backend_libs__name_mangle. Make the relevant ones functions,
	and give some of them more meaningful names.

compiler/trace.m:
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Move a backend-independent predicate from ll_backend__trace
	to hlds__hlds_goal.

compiler/llds.m:
compiler/trace_params.m:
	Move the definition of the trace_port type from ll_backend__llds
	to libs__trace_params to avoid having libs__trace_params depend on
	ll_backend.

compiler/exprn_aux.m:
compiler/globals.m:
	Move the definition of the imported_is_constant from
	ll_backend__exprn_aux to libs__globals to avoid having libs__globals
	depend on ll_backend.

compiler/*.m:
	Conform to the above changes. This removes many inappropriate
	dependencies on the LLDS backend.

Estimated hours taken: 2
Branches: main

Ensure that in MLDS grades, arguments with arg_mode `top_unused' do not
get passed.

Previously, different parts of the compiler had different and inconsistent
ideas about if/how they should get passed, which caused problems,
including an internal error for tests/hard_coded/foreign_type2.m in grade
`java'.  The comments in mlds.m said they should not get passed, the
code in ml_call_gen.m passed them as if they were output arguments, and
the code in ml_code_util declared them as if they were input arguments.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add some detailed comments about the meaning of the `arg_mode' type.

compiler/ml_call_gen.m:
compiler/ml_code_util.m:
compiler/ml_code_gen.m:
	Ensure that arguments with arg_mode `unused' do not get passed,
	declared, or converted (respectively).

runtime/mercury_grade.h:
	Bump the binary compatibility version number for MLDS grades.
	This is needed because the calling convention for procedures
	with `unused' mode arguments has changed.
