doc/mercury_reference_manual.texi:
Fix grammar in a number of spots.
Fix errors in some examples.
Fix the table mapping Mercury to CLI and C# types.
There is no System.{Int8,UInt8} in the CLI; they should be
System.SByte and System.Byte respectively.
Add more systematic tests of conversion of durations to and from strings.
Fix two bugs in duration_from_string/2 identified as a result of the new
tests. The first is that the duration string "P" was incorrectly accepted as
the zero duration; the second is that a fractional seconds component with no
whole number part (e.g. "PT.5S"), was incorrectly accepted.
library/calendar.m:
Fix the two bugs above.
tests/hard_coded/Mmakefile:
tests/hard_coded/calendar_duration_conv.{m,exp}:
Add the new test.
tests/hard_coded/fold_days.m:
Add some addition tests of foldl_days.
Add a test for each of foldl2_days and foldl3_days.
tests/hard_coded/fold_days.exp:
Conform to the above additions.
Currently, testing of conversion of date_times to and from strings is only done
by the hard_coded/calendar_test test case. This testing is only done indirectly
as part of testing other functionality and, in particular, does *not* cover the
failure paths of the string to date_time conversion. Add a new test case that
tests the date_time conversions more thoroughly.
tests/hard_coded/Mmakefile:
tests/hard_coded/calendar_date_time_conv.{m,exp}:
Add the new test case.
compiler/error_spec.m:
Delete the function symbol of the error_msg_component type
that allowed the inclusion of help text *if* an option had a given value.
This functionality has been unused since we made all warning and
informational error_specs conditional on an option.
Delete the subtype whose only job was to rule out the now-deleted
function symbol.
Add a comment about a possible solution of a have-your-cake-AND-eat-it
problem.
compiler/error_sort.m:
compiler/error_util.m:
compiler/write_error_spec.m:
Conform to the change in error_spec.m.
This is another move towards making it impossible for the compiler
to stop due to the presence of an error *without* printing a diagnostic
about that error.
compiler/grab_modules.m:
Some of the errors that this module are intended to block the compiler
from continuing on to semantic analysis, and some are not. We used
to make the distinction by returning a flag saying "some of these
are blocking errors", but the list of diagnostics that contained
these blocking errors
- contained a list of error_specs reporting *both* kinds of errors, and
- was not returned alongside the flag, but instead hidden inside
the module baggage, making it hard to find, and easy to ignore.
Change this to computing two lists of error_specs: one for blocking errors,
and one for nonblocking ones. Return the former explicitly, keeping the
latter in the baggage. This design lets the code that stops execution
before semantic analysis to test for the list of blocking errors
being non-empty, which makes printing them the easy thing to do.
Delete the code that, with --very-verbose, wrote out any error_specs
we generated during the processing of a .opt or .trans_opt file
immediately after that processing. The reason is that
- if we print those error_specs out and then do not return them
to mercury_compile_make_hlds.m, then mercury_compile_make_hlds.m
will be making decisions on incomplete and therefore incorrect data,
while
- if we print those error_specs out and *also* return them, then
- either those diagnostics will be printed twice, or
- we need to implement a new system whereby write_error_spec.m
keeps a database of the diagnostics it has already printed,
and simply skips printing any repeats.
Neither of those alternative is palatable, and since in several
decades, I have never needed such immediate printing of diagnostics,
losing that capability is not really an issue.
Fix some relics of the era when the data structures that were
module_baggage's predecessors could not distinguish between fatal
and nonfatal errors.
compiler/mercury_compile_make_hlds.m:
For now, make the new code in grab_modules.m work with the existing
decision making code. Changing that is future work, since it requires
changes to other compiler components as well.
compiler/mercury_compile_args.m:
Instead of writing out any error messages (and setting the exit status)
in different ways in different circumstances, return all error messages
to our caller, as error_specs, and the option_table needed to print
those error_specs out.
Simplify the code that actually does the expansion of @file arguments,
both by invoking higher level primitives than were available when
the original code was written, and by avoiding repeatedly putting
arguments info ok/1 wrappers and taking them out again.
Change the argument list of setup_all_args to delete the ErrorStream
argument and pass only ProgressStream, because its only caller always
passes the *same* stream as both arguments.
compiler/mercury_compile_main.m:
Print the error messages that mercury_compile_args.m now returns.
Standardize on printing "mmc:" before those messages to identify
the program reporting those errors. (The old code could print any
one of "mercury_compile:", "mmc:", the name of the executable,
or nothing.)
compiler/file_util.m:
Add two utility functions for the new code in mercury_compile_args.m.
compiler/handle_options.m:
Add an XXX.

C99 introduced additional conversion specifiers for use with the printf and
scanf family of functions. Specifically, the 'z' size specifier for size_t
values and the 't' size specifier for ptrdiff_t values. Historically, we have
not used them because the C99 support in a certain C compiler was lacking.
Since this is no longer the case, use them. This removes the need of a bunch
of casts, some of which were incorrect on 64-bit Windows.
runtime/mercury_accurate_gc.c:
runtime/mercury_memory_zones.c:
runtime/mercury_stacks.c:
runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
As above.
The date/0 type is misnamed. Values of the type have both a date and a time
component. The common name for combined date and time values is a "date_time",
for which we have had a type synonym since 2014. This change makes date_time
the proper name for type and make date into the type synonym.
Deprecate the date/0 name and note that we will change its meaning in a future
release. (It will eventually be used for data values that do not have a time
component.)
Rename predicates and functions accordingly and mark the existing versions as
obsolete.
library/calendar.m:
Make the above renamings.
library/hard_coded/stream.string_writer.m:
Replace a call to a now obsolete function.
