9c4a8be0f6 Let simplify introduce ground_term_const cons_ids.
This diff gives simplification the ability to look for construction
unifications X = f(...) that construct static terms, and to replace
those unifications with unifications X = ground_term_const(N), where
entry #N in the const_struct_db is f(...).

The idea is to ask simplification to do this when it is invoked
at the end of the front end. Later on, if and when we identify one or more
middle passes that may introduce new code that benefit from this
optimization, we could ask the pre-code-generation invocation
of simplification to repeat this optimization; until then,
such a repeat is not warranted.

In the long term, this diff should enable us to discard mark_static_terms.m,
the construct_statically code path in ml_unify_gen_construct.m, and the
equivalent code in the LLDS code generator.

compiler/common.m:
    This new optimization is done in common.m. The reason for this is that
    when this optimization is applicable, it overrides one part of common.m's
    functionality (replacing X = f(...) with X = Y, if Y already contains
    f(...)), but not another (gathering information about variable
    equivalences for use in optimizing away and/or warning about
    duplicate calls). Such half-override would be effectively impossible
    to arrange from a new module.

    Because of the need for this partial override, have this module,
    rather than simplify_goal_unify.m, make decisions about exactly
    what is to be done for each unification.

    For a similar reason, bring part of the logic controlling the recording
    of stack flushes here from simplify_goal.m.

compiler/simplify_tasks.m:
    Add the new optimization as a new task that simplification may be asked
    to do.

    Rather than add it as yet another bool field in the simplify_tasks
    structure, add it with its own bespoke bool-like type, and replace
    all the other bools with separate bespoke types as well.

    Do the same with the "should we generate warnings" flag for
    find_simplify_tasks. Fix simplify_tasks's arg order.

    Switch from (C->T;E) to (if C then T else E) syntax.

compiler/optimization_options.m:
compiler/options.m:
tools/make_optimization_options_db:
    To let simplify_tasks.m know whether the use of constant structures
    is allowed, either for terms created by the polymorphism pass,
    or for user terms, use two separate optimization options for these two
    separate though related concepts. Keep the one that is relevant only
    for the polymorphism pass invisible to users.

compiler/handle_options.m:
compiler/const_struct.m:
    Move the code that adjusts the values of these two options
    based on the target language and on the values of other options
    from const_struct.m to handle_options.m, so that information
    simplify_tasks.m needs is available in the globals structure
    it is passed (i.e. so that we don't have to pass it a const_struct_db).

    Suppress the use of const structs for user terms when generating
    optimization interface files, because after this change to common.m,
    their use could result in dangling references to the const_struct_db
    in those files.

compiler/mercury_compile_front_end.m:
    Ask for the new optimization to be done during the after-front-end
    invocation of simplification, if the option settings allow it.

compiler/simplify_proc.m:
    Fit the new optimization into the logic that decides whether
    we need two passes through the procedure body, or just one.

    Factor out some common code.

    Delete code whose job has been moved to common.m.

    Delete some no-longer-needed test predicates.

    in which it may not have been set up.

32eb6938c7 Consts from other modules can't use imported modules.
This fixes the failure of the warnings/bug412 test case with -O5
--intermodule-optimization.

compiler/const_struct.m:
    For each const_struct in the const_struct_db, record whether it was
    created from code that is defined in the current module.

    When a const_struct is defined in more than one place, record it as
    being defined in the current module if *any* of the definitions are
    in the current module.

compiler/unused_imports.m:
    If a const_struct is not defined in the current module, then do not
    scan it: the modules it refers to should not be counted as being used
    by the current module.

    Update debugging infrastructure as needed to find this bug.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
compiler/simplify_goal_scope.m:
    When creating const_structs, fill in the new field.

compiler/simplify_info.m:
    Add a field to the simplify_info for use by the new code in
    simplify_goal_scope.m.

181ada0dbf Avoid -O<n> resetting previously set options.
This implements Mantis feature request #495.

NEWS:
    Announce the change.

compiler/optimization_options.m:
    A new module for managing optimization options.

    It defines a separate bespoke type for every boolean optimization option
    to make it harder to confuse them. It defines a tuple type (opt_tuple)
    for accessing optimization options quickly. It implements the turning on
    (but NOT turning off) of optimizations when a given optimization level
    is selected.

tools/make_optimization_options_middle:
tools/make_optimization_options_db:
    The script that generates the meat of optimization_options.m,
    and the database of option names, kinds and initial values
    that it uses as its input. The script also generates some code
    for the special_handler predicate in compiler/options.m.

tools/make_optimization_options_start:
tools/make_optimization_options_end:
    The handwritten initial and final parts of optimization_options.m.

tools/make_optimization_options:
    The script that pulls these parts together to form optimization_options.m.

compiler/options.m:
    Make every optimization option a special option, to be handled by
    the special_handler predicate. That handling consists of simply
    adding a representation of the option to the end of a cord of
    optimization options, to be processed later by optimization_options.m.
    That processing will record the values of these options in the opt_tuple,
    which is where every other part of the compiler should get them from.

    Change the interface of special_handler to make the above possible.

    Add an "optopt_" (optimization option) prefix to the name of
    every optimization option, to make them inaccessible to the rest
    of the compiler under their old name, and thus help enforce the switch
    to using the opt_tuple. Any access to these options to look up
    their values would fail anyway, since the option data would no longer be
    e.g. bool(yes), but bool_special, but the name change makes this failure
    happen at compile time, not runtime.

    Reclassify a few options to make the above make sense. Some options
    (unneeded_code_debug, unneeded_code_debug_pred_name, and
    common_struct_preds) were classified as oc_opt even though they
    control only the *debugging* of optimizations, while some options
    (c_optimize and inline_alloc) were not classified as oc_opt
    even though we do set them automatically at some optimization levels.

    Delete the opt_level_number option, since it was not used anywhere.

    Delete the code for handling -ON and --opt-space, since that is now
    done in optimization_options.m.

    Add some XXXs.

compiler/handle_options.m:
    Switch to using getopt_io.process_options_userdata_se, as required
    by the new interface of the special_handler in options.m.
    In the absence of errors, invoke optimization_options.m to initialize
    the opt_tuple. Then update the opt_tuple incrementally when processing
    option implications that affect optimization options.

    Put the opt_tuple into a new field of the globals structure.

    in the opt_tuple. In some places, replace bools containing optimization
    options with the bespoke type of that specific optimization option.

library/getopt_template:
    Fix a bug that screwed up an error message.

    The bug happened when processing a --file option. If one of the
    options in the file was a special option whose special handler failed,
    the code handling that failing option returned both an error indication,
    and the rest of the argument list read in from the file. The code
    handling the --file option then *ignored* the error indication from
    the failed special option, and returned an error message of its own
    complaining about the unconsumed remaining arguments in the file,
    believing them to be non-option arguments, even though these arguments
    were never looked it to see if they were options.

    The fix is for the code handling --flag options to check whether
    the code processing the file contents found any errors, and if so,
    return that error *without* looking at the list of remaining arguments.

    In an unrelated change, factor out a duplicate call.

ada627928c Stop supporting --tags none for C.
The effect of --tags none is to tell the compiler not to use any primary
tag bits. The option is not needed when targeting Java, C# or Erlang,
since with these languages we can't use primary tags. It was effective
only in C grades. However, since using primary tags is always faster,
the only use case for --tags none was to measure *how much* faster.
This was useful in Mercury's early development, but has become obsolete
ages ago.

compiler/options.m:
doc/user_guide.texi:
    Delete the --tags option. For non-C targets, it was never needed,
    and with the deletion of first --tags high and now --tags none,
    --tags low is the only supported value for C.

    Change the documentation of the --num-ptag-bits option to emphasize
    that name, not its older but less specific synonym, --num-tag-bits.
    Document that the only reason to use this option is cross-compilation.

    In user_guide.texi, also delete some references to long-deleted
    options for reserved addresses and objects, and some duplicate lines
    in comments.

NEWS:
    Document the option removal.

compiler/globals.m:
    Delete the tags_method field of the globals, since it is not
    needed anymore.

compiler/handle_options.m:
    Delete the code that converts the value of the --tags option to the
    value of the tags_method field of the globals.

    Ensure that the value of the num_ptag_bits option is (a) zero when
    not targeting C, and (b) either 2 or 3 when targeting C.

    Check that we are using 2 or 3 ptag bits when targeting C.

    case.

3e894a7a9d Remove the hl grade component.
As we discussed, it has fallen into disuse. Its main purpose was to
pave the way for the .net backend and later for the java and csharp grades.
Now that the .net backend is ancient history and the java and csharp grades
are established, that purpose is gone, and for every other purpose,
hlc is better because it is simpler and faster.

compiler/options.m:
    Delete the --high-level-data option. It is no longer needed,
    bacause the data representation scheme is now a direct function
    of the target language.

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.

    Change how we avoid creating TypeInfos with an explicit arity argument
    for Java

    We never specify the arity for a TypeInfo_Struct in a Java grade.  There
    are two reasons: this is a little difficult to handle due to overloading
    rules and it is not necessary.

    This is handled by removing these arguments in the MLDS backend.
    However, the current solution does not work when we create TypeInfos as
    constant structures.  Therefore this change removes the special case
    from the MLDS backend and instead never creates the arity arguments
    during the polymorphism pass.  rtti_to_mlds.m didn't need updating as it
    already had the correct behaviour.

f6bdd99a80 Delete the MLDS->GCC (assembler) backend.
As discussed in the recent Mercury meeting, remove support for the GCC backend.
It was very much out of date and supporting it proprerly would means having to
track changes to GCC's internals.  Furthermore, its presence complicates
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.

283f46e649 This diff makes three main changes to try to speed up the compiler:
Estimated hours taken: 16
Branches: main

This diff makes three main changes to try to speed up the compiler:

- Avoid a double traversal of a map in const_struct.m.

- Speed up that double traversal in const_struct.m when possible.

- Remove any variables eliminated by the conversion of
  from_ground_term_construct scopes to const structs from the procedure's
  varset and vartypes. Do so in bulk, if that seems to be worthwhile.

These together speed up the compiler by about 7% when compiling
training_cars_full.m. About two-thirds of that is from the first change,
almost a third is from the second, and a tiny bit from the third.

----------------------------

All the above changes rely on changes in the library.

library/tree234.m:
	Add a new predicate, search_insert(K, V, MaybeOldV, !Tree). If K
	is in !.Tree with value OldV, it sets MaybeOldV to yes(OldV) and
	leaves !Tree unchanged. If K is not in !.Tree, it inserts it into
	!Tree with value V. Basically, it does a search and an insert
	in ONE traversal, and is the map equivalent of the insert_new
	predicates I added to all the set modules recently.

	Put all the predicates in the module into a logical order.

	Replace all the calls to error with calls to unexpected. Replace
	all the sanity checks that called to require with calls to expect,
	and put them inside conditionally-enable trace scopes.

	Add a predicate for a quick-and-dirty estimate of the size of a tree.
	This is to support delete_sorted_list in map.m.

library/map.m:
	Make the new tree234.search_insert predicate accessible in the
	map module.

	Add a predicate for removing a *sorted* list of elements from a map,
	since this is more efficient if we are removing a large fraction
	of the map's elements.

library/varset.m:
	Implement a predicate that is analogous to the new delete_sorted_list
	predicate in map.m, and is implemented using it.

	Speed up varset.delete_vars even if the vars aren't sorted.

NEWS:
	Note the new predicates.

----------------------------

compiler/const_struct.m:
	Use the new capability of map.m to combine two traversals into one.
	(Change 1 at the top.)

	Divide the csdb_struct_map into two maps, one whose cons_ids are
	cons/3, and one for every other cons_id. Make the key of the map
	for the cons/3 cons_ids a structure that has its most distinctive
	components at the start, to reduce the cost of comparisons in lookups.
	(Change 2 at the top.)

----------------------------

compiler/simplify.m:
	When converting from_ground_term_construct scopes into constant
	structures, remove the eliminated variables from the varset and
	vartypes. (Change 3 at the top.)

	Restructure the simplify_info and its access predicates, in several
	respects:

	- Make all accesses to the fields through access predicates,
	  to allow profiling to count how frequently each is used.

	- Instead of including the det_info in the simplify_info, include
	  its components.

	- Separate the simplify_info into a main and a sub info, with the
	  main one being an 8 word structure containing only the most
	  frequently accessed fields. Some of these previously required
	  going through two structures (simplify_info and det_info).

	- Eliminate a field that was unused. (We no longer need to recompute
	  instmap deltas for atomic goals.)

	- Eliminate some other unused access predicates (setters for read-only
	  fields).

	- Separate the remaining access predicates from simple wrappers around
	  them. Put all the access predicates in an order that mirrors the
	  order of the fields in the simplify_info and sub_simplify_info
	  structures.

	- Give some predicates better names.

compiler/pd_util.m:
compiler/common.m:
	Conform to the above changes.

----------------------------

compiler/det_util.m:
	Put the arguments of a predicate into a more logical order.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Give some predicates more meaningful names.

884838b9df If the backend supports constant structures, and we do not need unifications
Estimated hours taken: 8
Branches: main

If the backend supports constant structures, and we do not need unifications
to retain their original shapes, then convert each from_ground_term scope
into a unification with a cons_id that represents the ground term being
built up.

This speeds up the compilation of training_cars_full.m by about 6%.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Make the conversion if enabled. By doing the conversion in this phase,
	we don't have to teach the semantic analysis passes about unifications
	with the new cons_id, but we do get the benefit of later passes being
	faster, because they have less code to process.

compiler/const_struct.m:
	The declarative debugger does not yet know how to handle the new
	cons_id, so do not introduce it if we are preparing for declarative
	debugging.

compiler/trace_params.m:
	Export a predicate for const_struct.m.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add the new cons_id, ground_term_const.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add the tag of the new cons_id, ground_term_const_tag.

compiler/hlds_code_util.m:
	Convert the new cons_id to the new cons_tag.

	Fix an old problem with that conversion process: it always converted
	tuple_cons to single_functor_tag. However, arity-zero tuples are
	(dummy) constants, not heap cells, so we now convert them to a (dummy)
	integer tag. This matters now because the process that generates
	code (actually data) for constant structures handles the cons_tags that
	build constants and heap cells separately. As a side benefit, we
	no longer reserve a word-sized heap cell for arity-zero tuples.

compiler/unify_gen.m:
compiler/ml_unify_gen.m:
	Implement the generation of code for arbitrary constant structures,
	not just those that can implement typeinfos and typeclass_infos.

compiler/term_traversal.m:
	Manage the computation of sizes of ground terms.

	Simplify and thereby speed up a predicate.

compiler/term_constr_build.m:
	Note that we should manage the computation of sizes of ground terms.

compiler/term_util.m:
	Simplify the style of a predicate.

	Give some field names prefixes to avoid ambiguities.

ee63cb8d84 Heavily polymorphic code, such as that generated by g12, often builds the same
Estimated hours taken: 80
Branches: main

Heavily polymorphic code, such as that generated by g12, often builds the same
typeinfos and typeclass infos over and over again. We have long had caches
that avoid building a new typeinfo or typeclass info if some variable in the
current scope already contains the right value, but a program that has many
scopes may still build the same typeinfo or typeclass info many times.
If that typeinfo or typeclass info is a ground term, the code generators
will recognize that fact, and will turn all the constructions of that ground
term in different scopes into referencess to the same constant structure.
However, in the meantime, the program can be much bigger than necessary.
In the motivating test case for this change, a single call to fdic_post
is preceded by 133 goals that build the four typeclass infos it needs.

The main idea of this diff is to construct constant typeinfos and typeclass
infos out of line, in a separate data structure. Polymorphism then binds
variables representing typeinfo and typeclass infos to reference to these
constant structures. In the motivating example, this allows polymorphism.m
to insert just four goals before the call to fdic_post, the minimal possible
number: one for each typeclass info that predicate needs.

On Leslie's bug344 program, this change speeds up the compiler by a factor
of five to eight (reducing compile time from about 80 or 85 seconds to
10 or 15).

There is a drawback to this scheme, but it is minor. That drawback is that
once a constant structure is entered into our database of constant structures,
it cannot (yet) be removed. Even if all the references to a constant structure
are eliminated by optimizations, the structure will remain.

------------------------------------------

CHANGES IN THE FRONT END

compiler/const_struct.m:
	A new module to look after our new database of constant structures.
	Currently, its use is enable only on the LLDS and MLDS C backends.

compiler/hlds.m:
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Add the new module to the HLDS package.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Include the constant structure database in the module_info.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add two new cons_ids, which refer to typeinfos and typeclass infos
	implemented as constant structures.

	Move the code for calculating the number of extra instance args
	in base_typeclass_infos here from base_typeclass_info.m, since
	polymorphism.m now needs it too. We can now also eliminate the
	duplicate copy of that code in higher_order.m.

	Make an independent optimization: make the restrict_list_elements
	function more efficient by avoiding redundant tests.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	When building typeinfo and typeclass infos, keep track of whether
	the structure being built is constant. If it is, then put it in the
	database of constant structures, and replace the code building it
	with a simple reference to that new entry.

	Since I now expect most goal sequences inserted before goals to be
	short, consistent use lists of goals to represent these, since the
	costs of conversions to and from cord form are unlikely to be paid back
	by the higher efficiency of cord operations on longer sequences.

	When we want to get the typeclass info of a superclass out of the
	typeclass info of a subclass, if the typeclass info of the subclass
	is known, do the extraction here. We used to do this optimization
	only in higher_order.m, but doing so here reduces the size of the HLDS
	between polymorphism.m and higher_order.m, and thus improves
	compilation time.

	Reorganize some of the structure of this module to make the above
	changes possible. In particular, our new approach requires making
	snapshots of the varsets and vartypes, and later restoring those
	snapshots if the variables allocated turn out to be unnecessary,
	due to all of them describing the components of a constant structure.
	The correctness of such code is much easier to check if the taking
	and restoring of each snapshot takes places in a single predicate.

	Remove the code moved to higher_order.m.

	Add some debugging code for now. If no issues arise in the next few
	weeks, it can be deleted.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
	Treat unifications whose right hand side has a cons_id referring to a
	constant structure specially.

compiler/base_typeclass_info.m:
	Replace the code that is now in num_extra_instance_args with a call
	to that predicate.

	Put the arguments of some predicates in a more logical order.

compiler/higher_order.m:
	When looking up the components of existing typeclass infos, handle
	cases where those typeclass infos are constant structures.

	Give some types, fields and variables better names.

	Avoid a redundant map search.

	Avoid some redundant tests by providing separate predicates to handle
	higher order calls and method calls.

	Move the predicate is_typeclass_info_manipulator here from
	polymorphism.m, since this is the only module that uses that predicate.

------------------------------------------

CHANGES IN THE LLDS BACKEND:

compiler/llds.m:
	Add a type to map constant structure numbers to rvals together with
	their LLDS types.

	Introduce a type to represent rvals together with their LLDS types.

compiler/mercury_compile_llds_back_end.m:
	Before we generate code for the predicates of the module, convert
	the constant structures to typed LLDS rvals. Create a map mapping
	each constant structure number to the corresponding typed rvals.

compiler/proc_gen.m:
	Take that map, and put it into the code_info, to allow references
	to those structures to be translated.

	Put the arguments of some predicates into a more logical order.

compiler/code_info.m:
	Include a map giving the representation of each constant structure
	in the code_info.

compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Add the predicates needed to convert the constant structures of a
	module to LLDS rvals. For now, this code works only on the kinds of
	constant structures generated by polymorphism.m.

	Handle unifications whose right hand side is a reference to a constant
	structure.

compiler/global_data.m:
compiler/stack_layout.m:
	Use the new typed_rval type where relevant.

------------------------------------------

CHANGES IN THE MLDS BACKEND:

compiler/ml_proc_gen.m:
	Before we generate code for the predicates of the module, convert
	the constant structures to typed MLDS rvals. Create a map mapping
	each constant structure number to the corresponding typed rvals.

	Factor out some code into a predicate of its own.

compiler/ml_gen_info.m:
	Include a map giving the representation of each constant structure
	in the ml_gen_info.

	Also add to the ml_gen_info an indication of what GC system we are
	generating code for, since the code generator needs to know this often.

compiler/ml_unify_gen.m:
	Add the predicates needed to convert the constant structures of a
	module to MLDS rvals. For now, this code works only on the kinds of
	constant structures generated by polymorphism.m.

	Handle unifications whose right hand side is a reference to a constant
	structure.

	Simplify some existing code.

------------------------------------------

MINOR CHANGES:

mdbcomp/prim_data.m:
	Add a predicate that gets both the module name and the base name
	from a sym_name at the same time. This is used for minor speedups
	in other code updated in this diff.

compiler/dead_proc_elim.m:
	Scan constant structures for references to entities that need to be
	kept alive.

compiler/term_constr_build.m:
compiler/term_traversal.m:
	Do not build size constraints from references to constant structures.
	The sizes of constant terms don't change, so they are irrelevant
	when building constraints for finding argument size changes.

CHANGES TO THE TEST SUITE:

tests/invalid/any_passed_as_ground.err_exp2:
tests/invalid/invalid_default_func_1.err_exp2:
tests/invalid/invalid_default_func_3.err_exp2:
tests/invalid/try_detism.err_exp2:
	Add second expected output files for these tests. We need alternate
	expected outputs because the numbers of some of the typeinfo variables
	mentioned in error message are different depending on whether or not
	const structures are enabled.
