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

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

    Shorten the names of some function symbols.

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

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

compiler/*.m:
    Conform to the change above.

ea4f95a7ed Use var_tables in lco.m, and when dumping goals.
Since this is the first converted module that dumps out goals when
debugging trace flags are enabled, this required generalizing the code
that does that, to take either varsets or var_tables as a means of
specifying the names of variables. We do this via a new type,
var_name_source, which contains either a varset or a var_table.

Almost all of this diff is there to implement this generalization.
A large part of it affects code in the parse_tree package that we use
to write out the parts of HLDS goals that are defined by types defined
in that package. Since we want to avoid making any part of the parse_tree
package dependent on the hlds package, this required defining the
var_name_source type in the parse_tree package, which in turn requires
var_table.m to be in that same package.

compiler/lco.m:
    Convert this module to use var_tables instead of varsets and vartypes.

compiler/var_table.m:
    Move this module from the hlds package to the parse_tree package.

    To make this, possible, move the parts that required access to the HLDS
    to hlds_pred.m, from where it was usually invoked.

    Export some utility predicates to allow the moved code to work
    in hlds_pred.m without access to the actual definition of the
    var_table type.

    Define the var_name_source type.

    Add some utility functions for use by code writing out variable names.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    Add the code moved from var_table.m.

compiler/vartypes.m:
    Move this module from the hlds package to the parse_tree package,
    for symmetry with var_table.m. It did not depend on being in hlds
    in any way.

compiler/hlds.m:
compiler/parse_tree.m:
    Move vartypes.m and var_table.m from the hlds package
    to the parse_tree package.

compiler/hlds_out_goal.m:
    Change all the predicates in this module to take a var_name_source
    instead of a prog_varset.

    Fix some comments.

compiler/hlds_out_util.m:
    Change some of the predicates in this module (those called from
    hlds_out_goal.m) to take a var_name_source instead of a prog_varset.

compiler/parse_tree_out_term.m:
    Provide variants of some existing predicates and functions that take
    var_name_sources instead of varsets. The code of the copies
    duplicates the logic of the originals, though I hope that this
    duplication can be done away with at the end of the transition.
    (The best solution would be to use a typeclass with methods
    that convert vars to their names, but we would want to ensure
    that the compiler can specialize all the affected predicates
    and functions to the two instances of this typeclass, which is
    something that we cannot do yet. In the meantime, the lack of
    any generalization in the old versions preserves their performance.)

tools/sort_imports:
tools/filter_sort_imports:
    A new tool that automatically sorts any occurrences of consecutive
    ":- import_module" declarations in the named files. The sorting is done
    in filter_sort_imports; sort_imports loops over the named files.

    After automatically replacing all occurrences of hlds.{vartypes,var_table}
    in import_module declarations with their parse_tree versions, the updated
    import_module declarations were usually out of order with respect to
    their neighbours. I used this script to fix that, and some earlier
    out-of-order imports.

fa4e540557 Give more meaningful names to two predicates.
compiler/goal_util.m:
    Rename generate_simple_call to generate_plain_call and
    generate_foreign_proc to generate_call_foreign_proc,
    since they generate plain_call and call_foreign_proc HLDS goals
    respectively. (And the latter most definitely does not generate
    foreign_procs themselves.)

    Rationalize the argument list of both predicates by putting
    related arguments together.

e657a091e4 Encode the arity kind in the type in pred lookups.
compiler/pred_table.m:
    Some predicates in this module have traditionally taken an arity argument
    that *included* function result arguments, while others took an arity
    arguments that *excluded* function result arguments. While the difference
    was documented, it was not enforced in the types. Change this by
    switching the two kinds of arities to pred_form_arities and user_arities
    respectively.

    Change the internal data structures to specify in the types
    that they operate on user_arities.

    Change the operation of lookup_builtin_pred_proc_id as part of the
    change to goal_util.m (described below).

compiler/goal_util.m:
    When looking up the pred_info of a builtin, callers used to pass to the
    predicates that did that (generate_simple_call and generate_foreign_proc)
    a list of the arguments of the call without specifying which arguments
    were type_info/typeclass_info arguments added by polymorphism.
    This meant that the length of the argument list was *not* necessarily
    the called predicate or function's pred form arity, but could exceed it
    by the number of arguments added by polymorphism. The only reason this
    worked was because the lookup_builtin_pred_proc_id procedure they used
    to look up the named predicate in the pred table compensated for it

    - by doing a lookup on the original arity plus one, if the lookup on the
      original arity failed, and

    - in all the calls to generate_simple_call and generate_foreign_proc,
      the number of arguments added by polymorphism was either zero or one.

    Nevertheless, the system was fragile. It could have broken either

    - because when looking up the arity that included a type_info argument,
      (e.g. one typeinfo and two original args) the lookup could have found
      a false match (a predicate with the same name with three original args),

    - or because a new call to a new builtin could need to specify two or more
      arguments added by polymorphism.

    Fix this issue by

    - requiring calls to generate_simple_call and generate_foreign_proc
      to pass the arguments added by polymorphism separately, so the number
      of the original arguments specifies the predicate's pred_form_arity, and

    - deleting the code in lookup_builtin_pred_proc_id that tried to
      compensate for the presence of an "unannounced" typeinfo argument.

compiler/analysis.m:
    Change the type of a slot in a structure from arity to pred_form_arity,
    since that seems to have been how that slot was used.

compiler/recompilation.check.m:
compiler/recompilation.m:
compiler/recompilation.usage.m:
    Conform to the changes above, but only in a minimal fashion,
    because I don't *know* whether the values of type 'arity' passed around
    in the recompilation modules represent user arities or pred form arities.
    Record my guesses, but also record the fact that they are *only* guesses.
    Mark suspect code with "XXX ARITY BUG".

compiler/add_trail_ops.m:

5cada10369 Rename pred_table to pred_id_table.
compiler/pred_table.m:
    As above. This addresses half of an old XXX, which is that the two types
    defined in this module, predicate_table and pred_table (as it was then)
    should have names that (a) say what they do, and (b) are distinct.
    Addressing the other half requires a more descriptive but not-too-long
    name to replace "predicate_table".

    Rename the predicates that operate on the type to follow the name change.

    Add a distinguishing prefix to the names of the fields of the
    predicate_table type.

    Refer to values of the renamed type using a consistent naming scheme.

    When the affected code repeats the body of existing helper predicates
    for lookup up a pred_info or proc_info, or updating a proc_info
    inside a pred_info, or updating a pred_info inside a module_info,
    call the helper predicate instead. This makes code shorter and less
    cluttered, and the use of the helper predicates for updates automatically
    ensures that we don't accidentally update a stale version of the relevant
    table. (This has sometimes been a problem in the past.)

    In a few places, carve a new predicate for processing one element
    of a list out of an existing predicate for processing all list elements.

    now that Erlang is no longer a target language.

compiler/parse_type_repn.m:
    Accept both the updated version of the item_type_repn_info and the

    Make the code parsing foreign_decls handle the term containing
    the foreign language the same way as the codes parsing foreign
    codes, procs, types and enums.

    Add a mechanism to help parse_mutable.m to do the same.

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.

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

4ebc3ffa04 Carve four modules out of prog_data.m.
The prog_data.m module is imported by most modules of the compiler; by
359 modules out of 488, to be exact. Yet it has many parts that most of
those 359 modules don't need. This diff puts those parts into four new
modules. The number of imports of these modules:

    348 modules import prog_data.m
     84 modules import prog_data_foreign.m
     62 modules import prog_data_pragma.m
     12 modules import prog_data_event.m
      5 modules import prog_data_used_modules.m

compiler/prog_data_event.m:
compiler/prog_data_foreign.m:
compiler/prog_data_pragma.m:
compiler/prog_data_used_modules.m:
    New modules. They contain the parts of the parse tree that deal
    respectively with the specification of events and event sets,
    interfacing to foreign languages, pragmas, and the sets of used
    (i.e. not unused) modules.

    of the module into a logical order.

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.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    If the new value of a field of pred_info is likely to be bit-identical

    structure that is guaranteed to be the same as the old one.

    By avoiding unnecessary memory turnover, this speeds up the compiler a bit,
    though I cannot nail down by how much. I measured it several times, with
    the results being no change, a speedup of 1%, and a speedup of 2%.

    Remove the unused setter predicate for the attributes field.

building the compiler.

The main thing this change does not address is the fact that we invoke
the compiler through C code, e.g. main.c in the top-level of the source
tree.  This was required by the GCC backend and can now be removed, but
I will do that as a separate change.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	Delete some unused fields from `lambda_info'.

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

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

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

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

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

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

compiler/llds.m:
	Say that the `do_call_closure_N' functions only work for zero float
	register arguments.

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

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

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

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

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

compiler/builtin_lib_types.m:
	Add function to return the type of `private_builtin.float_box/0'.

compiler/hlds_out_goal.m:
compiler/hlds_out_pred.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Dump the new fields added to `generic_call', `pred_inst_info' and
	`proc_sub_info'.

compiler/prog_type.m:
	Add helper predicate.

compiler/*.m:
	Conform to changes.

library/private_builtin.m:
	Add a type `float_box'.

runtime/mercury_ho_call.h:
	Describe the modified closure representation.

	Rename the field which counts the number of hidden arguments to prevent
	it being used incorrectly, as it now encodes two numbers (potentially).

	Add macros to unpack the encoded field.

runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
	Update the description of how higher-order calls work.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

b9c889f881 Update granularity control to ensure that it works with the current runtime system.
Granularity control now uses the length of a contexts run queue as the measure
of how busy the system is and whether it should fork off work.  It is now
configured at runtime rather than compile time and therefore the
--parallelism-target option has been removed from the compiler.

Running some simple tests shows that granularity control has little effect on
most programs.  The effect is probably negligible on programs that use few,
large grains of parallelism.  On programs that represent pathological cases
such as parallel naive Fibonacci granularity control has a significant affect.
Parallel Fibonacci runs roughly four times faster than sequential Fibonacci
on an eight core machine.  But ten times slower if granularity control is
disabled.

Granularity control slightly improves the performance of very-dependant and
parallelism.  However the sequential versions of these programs are faster as
there is close to zero 'parallel overlap'.

These tests where informal, more formal testing is required, especially for
tuning.

compiler/granularity.m:
    Updated granularity control to use a new macro in the runtime to test if a
    new task should be spawned.

    Use a runtime option to tune runtime granularity rather than a compile time
    option.

    Mark the runtime test as thread safe to avoid locking - which is
    unnecessary.

compiler/options.m:
    Removed --parallelism-target compilation option.  Granularity control is
    now configured at run-time.

runtime/mercury_wrapper.h:
    Create a two new global variable MR_granularity_wsdeque_length and
    MR_granularity_wsdeque_length_factor.  MR_granularity_wsdeque_length is
    MR_granularity_wsdeque_length_factor * MR_num_threads.
    MR_granularity_wsdeque_length_factor and MR_engines are both configurable via
    the MERCURY_OPTIONS environment.

    This test calculates the length of the wsdeque each time.  A comment is
    provided to justify this design.

runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
    Initialise MR_granularity_wsdeque_length during startup of the runtime.

    Parse the new runtime option --runtime-granularity-wsdeque-length-factor
    The default value for this option is 8, this has been chosen somewhat
    arbitrarily.  IN the future we should test the affects of different values
    of this option.

runtime/mercury_context.h:
    Implement a new granularity control test that is linked to the length of a
    local thread's run queue.  The test compares the length of the queue to
    MR_granularity_wsdeque_length.

runtime/mercury_context.c:
    re-initialisation MR_granularity_wsdeque_length after auto-detection of the
    MR_num_threads.

runtime/mercury_wsdeque.h:
    Provide a new inline function to get the length of a wsdeque.

    Updated documentation to reflect changes to compiler and runtime options.

Branches: main

Start a C# backend, adapted from mlds_to_java.m.

Some `pragma foreign_*' declarations are commented out in this change because
no bootstrap compiler will yet accept "C#" in the language specification.

The compiler already supported C# foreign_procs for the IL backend, but the IL
backend and this new backend do not agree on naming and calling conventions so
the changes to the existing C# foreign_procs will further break the IL backend.
Nobody cares.

Only tested so far with Mono on Linux.

compiler/mlds_to_cs.m:
        New module.  In the CVS Attic there exists an obsolete file named
        mlds_to_csharp.m (replaced by mlds_to_managed.m) which we don't want to
        conflict with.

        For C# we need to know if a `pragma foreign_type' is a value or
        reference type.  Currently this is done by accepting a fake keyword
        `valuetype' before the type name, like for IL.

543fc6e342 Change the way the typechecker iterates over the predicates of the program.
Estimated hours taken: 12
Branches: main

Change the way the typechecker iterates over the predicates of the program.
We used to do it by looking up each predicate in the module_info,
typechecking it, and putting it back into the module_info. We now do it
by converting the predicate table into a list, iterating over the list
transforming each pred_info in it, converting the updated list back to
a predicate table.

The original intention of this change was to allow different predicates
to be typechecked in parallel by removing a synchronization bottleneck:
the typechecking of a predicate now doesn't have to wait for the typechecking
of the previous predicate to generate the updated version of the module_info.
However, it turned out that the change is good for sequential execution
as well, improving the time on tools/speedtest from 11.33 seconds to 11.08
seconds, a speedup of 2.2%. On tools/speedtest -l, which tests the compilation
of more modules, the speedup is even better: 3.1% (from 32.63 to 31.60s).

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Implement the above change.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
compiler/pred_table.m:
	Add a new operation, setting the list of valid pred_ids, now needed by
	typecheck.m, to both modules.

	Make the names of the predicates for accessing the predicate table
	more expressive, and make them conform to our naming conventions.

	Trivial changes to conform to the change in hlds_module.m.

	(at some time in its development).

	Mention the new predicates.

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.

02f9532cc1 Optimize calls to formatting functions and predicates such as
Estimated hours taken: 16
Branches: main

Optimize calls to formatting functions and predicates such as

	Str = string.format("%s_%d", [s(Prefix), i(Num)])

into
	V1 = string.int_to_string(Num),
	V2 = "_" ++ V1,
	Str = Prefix ++ V2

essentially interpreting the format string at compile time rather than runtime.

At the moment, the optimization applies to calls to string.format/3,
io.format/3 and io.format/4, and only in the case where the format specifiers
are just "%c", "%d", or "%s", with no widths, precisions etc, though
that could be changed relatively easily, though at the cost of coupling
the compiler more tightly to the implementation of library/string.m.
(We don't handle %f, because float_to_string(F) yields a different string
than string.format("%f", [f(F)]). The former yields e.g. "1.23", while the
latter yields "1.23000".)

compiler/format_call.m:
	Change the code that looks for malformed calls to formatting predicates
	to also look for well-formed, optimizable calls, and to transform them
	as shown above.

mdbcomp/prim_data.m:
	List the standard library's string module here, since the compiler now
	needs to know what its name is (it generates calls to its predicates).

compiler/options.m:
doc/user_guide.texi:
	Add a new option, --optimize-format-calls, that calls for this
	optimization. Make it enabled by default.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Since the transformation in format_call.m will typically introduce
	nested conjunctions, we now do it before the rest of the
	simplifications. We also invoke the fixups needed by the output
	of format_call.m if it actually optimized any code.

	Delete the code that used to record whether the procedure has any
	format calls, since it now comes too late.

	Decide once, when setting up for processing a procedure, whether
	we want to invoke format_call.m if appropriate, instead of doing it
	later. This allows us to reduce the size of the simplications
	data structure we pass around.

	Protect the predicates that format_call.m can generate calls to
	from being deleted by dead_pred_elim before the simplification pass.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Since simplify.m itself cannot record early enough whether a given
	procedure body contains calls to formatting predicates, do it here.

compiler/det_info.m:
	Add a new field to the det_info that records whether we have seen
	a call to a formatting predicate.

	Add another field to the det_info that records the list of errors
	we have found so far, so that we can stop passing it around separately.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add a marker that allows det_analysis.m to record its conclusions.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add utility predicate.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Make the predicates for creating new plain calls (and, for the sake of
	uniformity, calls to foreign code) take instmap_deltas, such as those
	created by the new utility functions in instmap.m. This allows these
	predicates' caller to avoid creating unnecessary intermediate data
	structures.

compiler/instmap.m:
	Make an existing predicate into a function to allow it to be used
	more flexibly.

	Move some utility functions for creating instmap_deltas here from
	table_gen.m, so that they can be used by other modules.

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

more than one cons_id with a switch arm. Previously, for switches like this:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	Replace some booleans with purpose-specific types.

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

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

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

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

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

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

	Give some predicates better names.

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

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

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

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

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

	Fix some misleading variable names.

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

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

	Rationalize the argument order of some access predicates.

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

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

	Give better names to some predicates.

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

compiler/ll_backend.m:
	Include the new module.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	Give some variables better names.

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

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

	Move some utility predicates to switch_util.

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

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

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

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

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

	Factor out some code to make all this possible.

	Give better names to some predicates.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	Delete --prev-code.

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

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

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

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

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

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

compiler/llds.m:
	Don't print line numbers for foreign_code fragments if the user has
	specified --no-line-numbers.

compiler/make.dependencies.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
compiler/recompilation.usage.m:
	Don't use io.write to write out information to files we may need to
	parse again, because this is vulnerable to changes to the names of
	function symbols (e.g. the one to mdbcomp/prim_data.m).

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

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

compiler/parse_tree.m:
	Don't import recompilation.m here. It is not needed (all the components
	of parse_tree that need recompilation.m already import it themselves),
	and deleting the import avoids recompiling almost everything when
	recompilation.m changes.

compiler/*.m:
	Conform to the changes above.

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

library/sparse_bitset.m:
	Use some better variable names.

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

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

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

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

I renamed some function symbols and predicates to avoid ambiguities.

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

45fd0daf5a Implement some of Mark's wish list for making user events more useful.
Estimated hours taken: 20
Branches: main

Implement some of Mark's wish list for making user events more useful.

1. When executing "print *" in mdb, we used to print both the values of all
   attributes and the values of all live variables. Since some attributes'
   values were given directly by live variables, this lead to some things being
   printed twice. This diff eliminates this duplication.

2. At user events, we now print the name of the event. Whether we print the
   other stuff we also print at events (the predicate containing the event,
   and its source location) is now controlled by a new mdb command,
   "user_event_context".

3. We would like different solvers to be compilable independently of one
   another. This means that neither solver's event set should depend on the
   existence of the events needed by the other solvers. This diff therefore
   eliminates the requirement that all modules of the program be compiled with
   the same event set specification. Instead, a program may contain modules
   that were compiled with different event sets. Each event set is named;
   the new requirement is that different named event sets may coexist in the
   program (each being used to compile some modules), but two event sets with
   the same name must be identical in all other respects as well (we need this
   requirement to prevent inconsistencies arising between different versions of
   the same event set).

4. We now generate user events even from modules compiled with --trace shallow.
   The problem here is that user events can occur in procedures that do not
   get caller events and whose ancestors may not get caller events either.
   Yet these procedures must still pass on debugger information such as call
   sequence numbers and the call depth to the predicate with the user event.
   This diff therefore decouples the generation of code for this basic debugger
   infrastructure information from the generation of call events by inventing
   two new trace levels, settable by the compiler only (i.e. not from the
   command line). The trace level "basic_user" is for procedures containing a
   user event whose trace level (in a shallow traced module) would otherwise be
   "none". The trace level "basic" is for procedures not containing a user
   event but which nevertheless may need to transmit information (e.g. depth)
   to a user event. For the foreseeable future, this means that shallow traced
   modules containing user events will have some debugging overhead compiled
   into *all* their procedures.

runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
	Add a new field to MR_UserEvent structures, giving the HLDS number of
	the variable representing each attribute.

	Add a new field to module layout structures, giving the name of the
	event set (if any) the module was compiled with.

	Add the new trace levels to the MR_TraceLevel type.

	Update the current layout structure version number.

runtime/mercury_stack_trace.[ch]:
	Allow the printing of the containing predicate's name and/or the
	filename/linenumber context to be turned off when printing contexts.
	Factor out some of the code involved in this printing.

	Give a bunch of variables better names.

	Rename a type to get rid of unnecessary underscores.

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/prog_event.m:
	Include the event set name in the information we have about the event
	set.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Mark each procedure and each module that contains user events
	as containing user events.

	Use the same technique to mark each procedure that contains parallel
	conjunctions as containing parallel conjunctions, instead of marking
	the predicate containing the procedure. (Switch detection may eliminate
	arbitrary goals, including parallel conjunctions, from switch arms
	that are unreachable due to initial insts, and in any case we want to
	handle the procedures of a predicate independently from each other
	after mode analysis.)

	Also, change the code handling generic calls to switch on the generic
	call kind, and factor out some common code.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Provide slots in the proc_info and the module_info for the information
	gathered by simplify.

compiler/trace_params.m:
	Implement the new trace levels described above. This required changing
	the signature of some of the predicates of this module.

compiler/code_info.m:
	Record whether the compiler generated any trace events. We need to know
	this, because if it did, then we must generate a proc layout structure
	for it.

compiler/proc_gen.m:
	Act on the information recorded by code_info.m.

	Factor out the code for generating the call event and its layout
	structure, since the conditions for generating this event have changed.

compiler/continuation_info.m:
compiler/call_gen.m:
	For each user event, record the id of the variables corresponding to
	each argument of a user event.

compiler/layout.m:
compiler/layout_out.m:
compiler/stack_layout.m:
	Generate the new field (giving the HLDS variable number of each
	attribute) in user event structures, and the new field (event set name)
	in module layout structures.

	Allow the call event's layout structure to be missing. This is needed
	for user events in shallow traced modules.

compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
compiler/mercury_compiler.m:
	Rename the option for specifying event sets from --event-spec-file-name
	to --event-set-file-name, since it specifies only one event set, not
	all events.

compiler/jumpopt.m:
	Give some predicates better names.

compiler/dep_par_conj.m:
compiler/deforest.m:
compiler/granularity.m:
compiler/hlds_out.m:
compiler/inlining.m:

compiler/stack_alloc.m:
compiler/store_alloc.m:
compiler/table_gen.m:
compiler/trace_gen.m:
compiler/typecheck.m:
	Conform to the changes above.

doc/mdb_categories:
	Mention the new mdb command.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Update the documentation of user events to account for the changes
	above.

trace/mercury_event_parser.y:
trace/mercury_event_scanner.l:
	Modify the grammar for event set specifications to a name for the
	event set.

trace/mercury_event_spec.[ch]:
	Instead of recording information about event sets internally
	in this module, return a representation of each event set read in
	to the callers, for them to do with as they please.

	Include the event set name when we print the Mercury term for
	compiler/prog_event.m.

trace/mercury_trace.c:
	Do not assume that every procedure that contains an event contains a
	call event (and hence a call event layout structure), since that
	is not true anymore.

trace/mercury_trace_cmd_parameter.[ch]:
	Implement the new mdb command "user_event_context".

trace/mercury_trace_cmd_internal.[ch]:
	Include "user_event_context" in the list of mdb commands.

	Print the user event name at user events. Let the current setting
	of the user_event_context mdb command determine what else to print
	at such events.

	Instead of reading in one event set on initialization, read in
	all event sets that occur in the program.

trace/mercury_trace_tables.[ch]:
	Allow the gathering of information for more than one event set
	from the modules of the program.

trace/mercury_trace_vars.[ch]:
	For each attribute value of a user event, record what the HLDS variable
	number of the attribute is. When printing all variables at an event,
	mark the variable numbers of printed attributes as being printed
	already, causing the variable with the same number not to be printed.

	Include the name of the variable (if it has one) in the description
	of an attribute. Without this, users may wonder why the value of the
	variable wasn't printed.

trace/mercury_trace_cmd_browsing.[ch]:
	Pass the current setting of the user_event_context mdb command to
	runtime/mercury_stack_trace.c when printing the context of an event.

tests/debugger/user_event_shallow.{m,inp,exp}:
	New test case to test the new functionality. This test case is the same
	as the user_event test case, but it is compiled with shallow tracing,
	and its mdb input exercises the user_event_context mdb command.

tests/debugger/user_event_spec:
tests/invalid/invalid_event_spec:
	Update these event set spec files by adding an event set name.

tests/debugger/Mmakefile:
tests/debugger/Mercury.options:
	Enable the new test case.

tests/debugger/user_event.exp:
	Update the expected output of the old user event test case, which now
	prints event names, but doesn't print attribute values twice.

tests/debugger/completion.exp:
	Expect the new "user_event_context" mdb command in the command list.

tests/debugger/mdb_command_test.inp:
	Test the existence of the documentation for the new mdb command.

tests/invalid/Mercury.options:
	Conform to the name change of the --event-spec-file-name option.

82eab0e65e Add an optional pass that tries to avoid generating too many parallel goals.
Estimated hours taken: 12
Branches: main

Add an optional pass that tries to avoid generating too many parallel goals.
The first transformation implemented by this pass is to transform parallel
conjunctions into goals of the form

	( queues already contain lot of work ->
		sequential version of parallel conjunction
	;
		parallel conjunction as before
	)

if they contain recursive calls.

The effect of this transformation is to reduce the overhead of the new par_fib
test case from:

	fib(35): sequential 189 vs parallel 5770

to

	fib(35): sequential 189 vs parallel 1090

i.e. a speedup of more than a factor of five.

compiler/granularity.m:
	New module that implements this transformation. I intend to add other,
	more sophisticated transformations in the future.

compiler/transform_hlds.m:
	Add granularity.m as one of the submodules of transform_hlds.m.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Invoke the new pass.

	Invoke dep_par_conj only if needed.

	Fix some stage numbers.

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

	Document some modules that should have been documented earlier.

	Fix a hurried deletion of a reference to the Aditi backend.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Add some utility functions for use by the new module.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Record the information mercury_compile.m needs in order to check
	whether we have any parallelism for granularity.m and dep_par_conj.m
	to process.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Add a slot to the module_info to record the information from
	simplify.m. Clean up some interfaces.

compiler/add_type.m:
	Conform to the change to hlds_module.m.

compiler/dependency_graph.m:
	Delete unnecessary module qualifications, and rename some predicates
	to avoid potential ambiguities.

compiler/options.m:
	Add the options required for controlling the new transformation.

	Rename an option's internal name to avoid conflict with a language
	keyword (the user-visible name remains unchanged).

	Move some options around to put them in logical groups.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document the new options.

	Fix some omissions in some earlier options.

compiler/handle_options.m:
compiler/termination.m:
	Conform to the option rename.

compiler/quantification.m:
	Rename some predicates to avoid ambiguities.

library/par_builtin.m:
	Add a predicate for use by the new transformation.

tests/par_conj/Mmakefile:
	Enable the new test case.
