e9323be958 Improve an mdb error message.
trace/mercury_trace_spy.c:
    When the user wants to put a breakpoint on a line in a file,
    but there is no event exactly on the given line number,
    mdb used to tell the user just that fact. This diff makes
    mdb more helpful, by printing the nearest line numbers before
    and after the given line number that *do* have events on which
    breakpoints can be put.

    The mismatch can come for several reasons, with the most common
    probably being that textually, a switch arm for e.g X being f
    starts with the X = f unification goal, but switch detection
    *deletes* that unification from the switch arm, so the event
    for entry into that arm is actually on the line for the *next* goal.

trace/mercury_trace_tables.[ch]:
    Provide the info needed by mercury_trace_spy.c.

    Change the interface of MR_process_file_line_layouts to make it
    self-contained, i.e. returning counts of matches, instead of
    merely *adding* to preexisting counts. This is simpler, since
    the only caller of that function needs no running tally.

59b11f84ce Update the debugger test directory.
Replace __ with . as the module qualifier symbol.

Replace references to io.state with just io.

Replace DCGs with state variables.

Replace (C->T;E) syntax for if-then-elses with (if C then T else E) syntax.

Replace if-then-elses with switches when possible and where this does not
affect what is being tested.

Replace separate pred and mode declarations with predmode declarations.

Put predicate and function declarations just before the definition
of the predicate or function.

Delete unneeded module qualifications on predicate and function declarations
and definitions.

Update .exp files (and if needed, .inp files) for the line number changes
that result from the above.

For tests that have more than one .exp file and where one of those files
is affected by the above, add a section to the source file header that says
which .exp file is for what grade, with XXXs for the (as yet) unknown parts.

fbfb5385fa Print more specific errors when creating an mdb breakpoint fails.
trace/mercury_trace_spy.c:
    When giving a command such as

        mdb> break badfilename.m:42

    and the debugger has no information about any file named "badfilename.m",
    print an error message that says just that. If the file exists but the
    line number doesn't, say that. Previously, the error message didn't tell
    the user whether it was the filename or the line number that was in error.

9bdc5db590 Try to work around the Snow Leopard linker's performance problem with
Estimated hours taken: 20
Branches: main

Try to work around the Snow Leopard linker's performance problem with
debug grade object files by greatly reducing the number of symbols needed
to represent the debugger's data structures.

Specifically, this diff groups all label layouts in a module, each of which
previously had its own named global variable, into only a few (one to four)
global variables, each of which is an array. References to the old global
variables are replaced by references to slots in these arrays.

This same treatment could also be applied to other layout structures. However,
most layouts are label layouts, so doing just label layouts gets most of the
available benefit.

When the library and compiler are compiled in grade asm_fast.gc.debug,
this diff leads to about a 1.5% increase in the size of their generated C
source files (from 338 to 343 Mb), but a more significant reduction (about 17%)
in the size of the corresponding object files (from 155 to 128 Mb). This leads
to an overall reduction in disk requirements from 493 to 471 Mb (about 4.5%).
Since we generate the same code and data as before, with the data just being
arranged differently, the decrease in object file sizes is coming from the
reduction in relocation information, the information processed by the linker.
This should speed up the linker.

compiler/layout.m:
	Make the change described above. We now define up to four arrays:
	one each for label layouts with and without information about
	variables, one for the layout structures of user events,
	and one for the variable number lists of user events.

compiler/layout_out.m:
	Generate the new arrays that the module being compiled needs.

	Use purpose-specific types instead of booleans.

compiler/trace_gen.m:
	Use a new field in foreign_proc_code instructions to record the
	identity of any labels whose layout structures we want to refer to,
	even though layout structures have not been generated yet. The labels
	will be looked up in a map (generated together with the layout
	structures) by llds_out.m.

compiler/llds.m:
	Add this extra field to foreign_proc_code instructions.

	Add the map (which is actually in two parts) to the c_file type,
	which is the data structure representing the entire LLDS.

	Also add to the c_file type some other data structures that previously
	we used to hand around alongside it. Some of these data structures
	used to conmingle layout structures that we now separate.

compiler/stack_layout.m:
	Generate array slots instead of separate structures for label layouts.
	Return the different arrays separately.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Order the output of layout structures to require fewer forward
	declarations. The forward declarations of the few arrays holding the
	label layout structures replace a lot of the declarations previously
	needed.

	Include the information needed by layout_out.m in the llds_out_info,
	and conform to the changes above.

	As a side-effect of all these changes, we now generate proc layout
	structures in the same order as the procedures' appearence in the HLDS,
	which is the same as their order in the source code, modulo any
	procedures added by the compiler itself (for lambdas, unification
	predicates, etc).

runtime/mercury_goto.h:
	Add the macros used by the new code in layout_out.m and llds_out.m.
	We need new macros because the old ones assumed that the
	C preprocessor can construct the address of a label's layout structure
	from the name of the label, which is obviously no longer possible.

	Make even existing families of macros handle in bulk up to 10 labels,
	up from the previous 8.

runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
	Add macros for use by the new code in layout.m.

tests/debugger/*.{inp,exp}:
tests/debugger/declarative/*.{inp,exp}:
	Update these test cases to account for the new (and better) order
	of proc layout structures. Where inputs changed, this was to ensure
	that we still select the same procedures from lists of procedures,
	e.g. to put a breakpoint on.

Estimated hours taken: 8
Branches: main

Satisfy a request by Peter Ross: give mdb users the ability to specify
exactly which events inside a procedure they want to put breakpoints on.
Amongst other things, this can make checking postconditions easier:
you can now put a conditional breakpoint on only the exit event.

runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
	Add to the exec trace part of proc layouts fields describing an array
	of the label layouts describing the events of the procedure. This is
	the most direct way to implement the new functionality. (In theory,
	we could search the data structures that map file names and line
	numbers to label layouts, but that would be complex, inefficient,
	and *error prone*.)

	To make room for the new fields, and to prepare for making the
	procedure body available to the deep profiler as well (which could
	use it to map execution frequencies of calls back to their location
	in the procedure body, and thus to things like the frequencies with
	which various switch arms are selected), move the procedure body
	of the execution-trace-specific part of the proc layout, and to
	where the deep profiler could in the future also get at it.

runtime/mercury_goto.h:
	Add macros for declaring more than one label layout structure at a
	time.

compiler/layout.m:
	Implement the changes in mercury_stack_layout.h in the compiler's
	data structures as well.

compiler/stack_layout.m:
	Conform to the changes in mercury_stack_layout.h.

	Turn some tuples into named types.

compiler/layout_out.m:
	Conform to the changes in mercury_stack_layout.h.

	Add a mechanism to declare the label layouts in the new array before
	referring to them, by generalizing some existing code. Make this code
	require that the label layouts we refer to via the macros in
	mercury_goto.h match the declarations generated by those macros,
	i.e. that they have information about variables (if debugging is
	enabled, they will).

compiler/opt_debug.m:
	Conform to the change to layout.m.

compiler/prog_rep.m:
	Make a predicate name more expressive.

trace/mercury_trace_cmd_breakpoint.c:
	Implement the new way of using the "break" command, which is
	to add a port name after the procedure specification.

	Register procedures at the start of the function implementing
	the "break" command, instead of "on demand", since all alternatives
	eventually do demand it.

	Write ambiguity reports wholly to mdb's stdout, instead of partially to
	stderr and partially to stdout.

trace/mercury_trace_spy.c:
	Print the port and the goal path for breakpoints on specific events.

	Make the invocation conditions left-aligned, not right-aligned.

	Document the new way of using the "break" command.

8576975c4e Implement breakpoints on user events. Users may specify an event set,
Estimated hours taken: 20
Branches: main

Implement breakpoints on user events. Users may specify an event set,
an event name, both, or neither. Four forms of the mdb "break" command
create such breakpoints:

	break [the usual options] user_event <event_name>
	break [the usual options] user_event <event_set_name> <event_name>
	break [the usual options] user_event_set
	break [the usual options] user_event_set <event_set_name>

In addition, the command

	break [the usual options] user_event

is also accepted, as a synonym for

	break [the usual options] user_event_set

Since user events are not interface events or entry events, add a new, simple
ignore specification, which decrements the ignore count on every match of the
event.

Make the "break_print" mdb command consistent with the other command that
operates on existing breakpoints ("condition") by making it apply by default
to the most recently created breakpoint.

Make "condition" and "break_print" use the same option letter (-b) to introduce
the breakpoint number.

Fix a bug in the implementation of "break_print" that led to printing out
the selected variable, but not the selected *path* within the selected
variable. The reason was that we recorded what to print (variable spec plus
path) in a string, but that the process of using that record to print out
what was wanted destroyed the string (by putting a NULL between the variable
specification and the path), so that *later* uses of that string would find
an empty path. The fix is to record a var_spec/path pair in the print list.

Fix some slightly misleading output: when printing part of a variable, we
printed the name of the variable without any indication that the value printed
wasn't the whole value of the variable. We now print the path as well.

	Update the function that checks whether the current event matches.
	Factor some common code out of that function, as well as out of the
	functions for adding new breakpoints.

	Change the print list data structure as described above.

	Add some utility functions.

	Add MR_ prefixes to the names of structure fields that previously
	lacked them.

trace/mercury_trace_cmd_misc.c:
	Handle the new breakpoint types.

trace/mercury_trace_tables.c:
trace/mercury_trace_internal.c:
	We used to parse the event set descriptions in module layout structures
	when the debugger was initialized (in mercury_trace_internal.c).
	However, we delay registering all the modules until this is needed,
	so at that time we don't yet *have* the list of module layout
	structures, so we used to parse nothing. This diff moves the code
	for doing the parsing to the time when the module layout structures
	are registered (in mercury_trace_tables.c).

	Don't test whether the module layout structure contains the fields
	for user event descriptions, since that diff has been installed on
	all our systems weeks ago.

Eliminate some code duplication by unifying the two goal_path types have had
until now: one in mdbcomp/program_representation.m and compiler/hlds_goal.m,

`format_param', `list_context_lines', `list_path', `xml_browser_cmd',
`xml_tmp_filename', `fail_trace_counts', `pass_trace_counts' and

25b8b1abc3 Fix several performance bugs that showed up when the compiler was invoked on
Estimated hours taken: 20
Branches: main

Fix several performance bugs that showed up when the compiler was invoked on
Douglas Auclair's training_cars example. Also fix some minor problems that
made it harder to find the information needed to localize those problems.

training_cars.m is hard to compile quickly because it is big in two dimensions:
it has lots of clauses, and each clause has big terms.

My laptop still tries to swap itself to death on the full version of
training_cars.m (it has only 512 Mb), but the compiler now works fine
on a version containing about 20% of its clauses, whereas previously
it couldn't compile it at all.

In most cases, the changes convert N^2 algorithms to NlogN algorithms.
They probably have higher constant factors and may yield small slowdowns
for small N, but this is probably not noticeable. Avoiding bad worst case
behavior is more important.

compiler/superhomogeneous.m:
	Record the number of goals inserted in each goal being converted
	to superhomogeneous form. If this exceeds a threshold, wrap a
	from_ground_term scope around it.

	Put the predicates into a more cohesive sequence.

compiler/field_access.m:
	Work with the code in superhomogeneous to record the number of inserted
	goals. Reorder the arguments of some performances to be consistent
	with the predicates in superhomogeneous.m.

compiler/modes.m:
	Use the from_ground_term scope to reverse the list of inserted
	unifications if necessary. It is much more efficient to do this here
	than to let it happen by sequences of delays and wakeups. That would
	have quadratic complexity; this is linear.

	This is what I originally introduced from_ground_term scopes for.
	Then, the overhead was too high, because I added one scope per function
	symbol. This version should be fine, since there is at most one scope
	added per argument of an atom (clause head or call).

compiler/modes.m:
compiler/unique_modes.m:
	When we are processing goals inside a from_ground_term scope, record
	this fact.

compiler/mode_info.m:
	Make it possible to record this fact.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
	When we are inside a from_ground_term scope, don't try to update the
	insts of vars on the right hand sides of construction unifications.
	Since these variables came from expansion to superhomogeneous form,
	those variables won't occur in any following code, so updating their
	state is useless, and the algorithm we used to do so is linear in the
	size of the inst. Since the size of an inst of a variable that results
	from superhomogeneous expansion is itself on average proportional to
	the size of the original term, this change turns a quadratic algorithm
	into a linear one.

compiler/inst_match.m:
	Use balanced trees instead of ordered lists to represents sets of
	expansions, since these sets can be large.

	Note an opportunity for further improvement.

compiler/inst_util.m:
	Note another opportunity for further improvement.

compiler/instmap.m:
	Rename several predicates to avoid ambiguities.

compiler/cse_detection.m:
	We used to print statistics for the processing of each procedure
	without saying which procedure it is for; fix this.

compiler/switch_detection.m:
	Don't print progress messages for predicates with no procedures,
	since they would be misleading.

compiler/higher_order.m:
	Change an algorithm that was quadratic in the number of arms
	for merging the information from the different arms of disjunctions
	and switches to an NlogN algorithm.

	Change the algorithm for merging the info from two branches
	that quadratic in the number of variables per arm to an NlogN
	algorithm.

	Changed some type equivalences to notag types to aid robustness.

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

	The sets of variables in different arms of disjunctions and switches
	tend to have relatively small intersections. Yet the algorithms we
	used to compute the set of variables free in the disjunction or switch
	included the variables from the already processed arms in the sets
	being accumulated when processing later arms, leading to the quadratic
	behavior. This diff changes the algorithm to process each arm
	independently, and then use a more balanced algorithm to summarize
	the result.

	Specialize the predicates that compute sets of free vars in various
	HLDS fragments to work either with ordinary_nonlocals or
	code_gen_nonlocals without making the same decision repeatedly.

	Move some code out of large predicates into predicates of their own.

compiler/Mercury.options:
	Specify the compiler option that can exploit this specialization
	to make the code run faster.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Use a more efficient data structure for recording the parameters
	of an invocation of simplification.

	ambiguity.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Fix a bug in progress messages for polymorphism.m.

compiler/equiv_type_hlds.m:
	Most of the time, substitutions inside insts have no effect, because
	very few insts include any reference to a types. Instead of the old
	approach of building new insts and then throwing them away if they
	are the same as the old ones, don't build new insts at all if the
	old inst contains no types.

compiler/common.m:
	Change some predicate names to make them clearer.

compiler/hlds_clauses.m:
	Record the number of clauses so far, to allow a more informative
	progress message to be printed.

compiler/add_clause.m:
	Print this more informative progress message.

	Conform to the changes in superhomogeneous.m.

compiler/code_gen.m:
	Use the context of the predicate's first clause (which will be the
	context of the first clause head) as the context of the predicate's
	interface events. Unlike the context of the body goal, this won't
	be affected by program transformations such as wrapping a
	from_ground_term scope around some goals. It is better for users
	anyway, since the old policy lead to contexts in the middle of
	procedure bodies if the top level goal was a disjunction, switch or
	if-then-else.

cab3c62fe7 Remove call depth numbers from standardized event printing.
Estimated hours taken: 2
Branches: main

Remove call depth numbers from standardized event printing.  This will make
maintaining the debugger test cases easier since a lot of the expected outputs
differ only in the call depth of their events, because of deep tracing of the
standard library in the decldebug grade.

Not all the debugger tests are run with standardized event printing, so
printing of call depths will still be exercised.

f0964815a3 Support line numbers in the debugger. You now get contexts (filename:lineno
Estimated hours taken: 40

Support line numbers in the debugger. You now get contexts (filename:lineno
pairs) printed in several circumstances, and you can put breakpoints on
contexts, when they correspond to trace events or to calls. The latter are
implemented as breakpoints on the label layouts of the return sites.

This required extending the debugging RTTI, so that associated with each
module there is now a new data structure listing the source file names that
contribute labels with layout structures to the code of the module. For each
such source file, this table gives a list of all such labels arising from
that file. The table entry for a label gives the line number within the file,
and the pointer to the label layout structure.

compiler/llds.m:
	Add a context field to the call instruction.

compiler/continuation_info.m:
	Instead of the old division of continuation info about labels into
	trace ports and everything else, divide them into trace ports, resume
	points and return sites. Record contexts with trace ports, and record
	contexts and called procedure information with return sites.

compiler/code_info.m:
	Conform to the changes in continuation_info.m.

compiler/options.m:
	Add a new option that allows us to disable the generation of line
	number information for size benchmarking (it has no other use).

compiler/stack_layout.m:
	Generate the new components of the RTTI, unless the option says not to.

compiler/code_gen.m:
compiler/pragma_c_gen.m:
compiler/trace.m:
	Include contexts in the information we gather for the layouts
	associated with the events we generate.

compiler/call_gen.m:
	Include contexts in the call LLDS instructions, for association
	with the return site's label layout structure (which is done after
	code generation is finished).

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Delete the code that tests or sets the deleted options.

compiler/jumpopt.m:
	Do not optimize away jumps to labels with layout structures.
	The jumps we are particularly concerned about now are the jumps
	that return from procedure calls. Previously, it was okay to redirect
	returns from several calls so that all go to the same label, since
	the live variable information associated with the labels could be
	merged. However, we now also associate line numbers with calls, and
	these cannot be usefully merged.

compiler/optimize.m:
	Pass the information required by jumpopt to it.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document that you can now break at line numbers.

	Document the new "context" command, and the -d or --detailed option
	of the stack command and the commands that set ancestor levels.

runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
	Extend the module layout structure definition with the new tables.

	Remove the conditional facility for including label numbers in label
	layout structures. It hasn't been used in a long time, and neither
	Tyson or me expect to use it to debug either gc or the debugger itself,
	so it has no uses left; the line numbers have superseded it.

runtime/mercury_stack_trace.[ch]:
	Extend the code to print stack traces to also optionally print
	contexts.

	Add some utility predicates currently used by the debugger that could
	also be use for debugging gc or for more detailed stack traces.

trace/mercury_trace_internal.c:
	Implement the "break <context>" command, the "context" command, and
	the -d or --detailed option of the stack command and the commands
	that set ancestor levels.

	Conditionally define a conditionally used variable.
