Change the declarative debugger so it always prints syntactically
correct goals.
browser/declarative_user.m:
Print atoms using browse__print_synthetic. This means that goals
will always be syntactically correct, even if they are printed
in the multi-line form.
Make the predicates write_decl{_init,_final,}_atom take an argument
of type browse_caller_type. When printing a single goal use the
caller type "print", and when printing a sequence of goals use
"print_all".
browser/browse.m:
When writing out a synthetic term using io__write_univ, check for
arguments with type util__unbound. Print such values as a single

Fix a bug which broke tests/debugger/interactive_query in non-GC grades,
e.g. asm_fast on murlibobo (dec-alpha-osf*).
browser/util.m:
Fix a bug: call_trace_getline needs to be annotated with
`will_not_call_mercury' instead of `may_call_mercury'.
This is required because the code for it accesses MR_hp,
which is only valid if `will_not_call_mercury' is specified.
The fix also required changing the return type from bool to int,
so that it can return the right value without calling Mercury code.

browser/util.m:

Until now, programmers could add `tabled_for_io' annotations to foreign_procs
that do I/O, which asks the compiler to make those foreign_procs idempotent,
i.e. ensures that they are performed at most once even in the presence of a
retry operation in the debugger. This change adds a compiler option,
--trace-table-io-require, which generates an error if a foreign_proc that does
I/O does not have this annotation. Specifying this option thus ensures
that all I/O done by the program is idempotent.
In the future, we may want to have this option turned on in all debugging
grades. Until we decide about, the new option is not yet documented.
compiler/options.m:
Add the new option --trace-table-io-require.
compiler/handle_options.m:

Various fixes to get the GCC back-end interface to bootstrap.
library/exception.m:
Define function versions of mercury__exception__builtin_catch_3_p_*.
This is needed (a) in case we take their address, and (b) for the
GCC back-end interface, where we can't use C macros, since we're
compiling to assembler.
browser/dl.m:
browser/util.m:
browser/interactive_query.m:
compiler/stack_layout.m:
Add #includes for header files needed by these modules.
browser/dl.m:
Delete an unnecessary nested extern declaration, to avoid
a warning from `gcc -Wshadow'.
compiler/mlds_to_gcc.m:
When calling mlds_to_c to process foreign_code, make all
definitions public, so that the can be used from the assembler
code that we generate in mlds_to_gcc.
Don't call mlds_to_c to generate `.c' and `.h' files if the
module contains only `pragma foreign_decls', not `pragma
foreign_code', `pragma foreign_proc', or `pragma export'.
This change is needed to avoid calling mlds_to_c when
intermodule optimization is enabled and `pragma c_header_code'
declarations have been read in from the `.opt' file and have
propagated through to the MLDS. Calling mlds_to_c when the
module itself doesn't contain C code breaks things, since
Mmake won't compile and link in the generated `.c' files, but
those files contain the definition of the `*__init_type_tables()'
functions that are referenced by `*_init.c'.
XXX This is not quite right, since if the module itself contains
`pragma foreign_decls', the `.h' file might be needed.
But the Mercury standard library needs intermodule optimization
enabled for `make install' to work.
A better fix would be to ignore foreign_decls that were defined
in other modules, but to call mlds_to_c for foreign_decls
that were defined in the module that we're compiling.
compiler/modules.m:
Change the code which decides when to link in extra object files
for foreign code to reflect the above change to when mlds_to_gcc.m
invokes mlds_to_c.m.
compiler/mlds_to_c.m:
When target=asm, i.e. we're compiling to asm, but mlds_to_c.m
has been invoked to generate C code for a `foreign_code',
`foreign_proc', or `pragma export' declaration, don't generate
#include directives for the imported modules, since we may not
have generated any header file for them.
XXX This is a bit of a hack; it might sometimes lead to
problems, since the header files might sometimes be needed.
But including them unconditionally is definitely wrong,
since they may not exist, and so this change is needed to get
the compiler to bootstrap.
compiler/Mmakefile:
Add a dependency of mercury_compile on $(GCC_BACK_END_LIBS),
so that we know to relink it if the GCC back-end has changed.
(That variable is set to empty if we're not linking in the GCC
back-end, so it won't cause problems when not using the GCC
back-end.)
library/Mmakefile:
browser/Mmakefile:
compiler/Mmakefile:
Add an `ss' target, for use by tools/bootcheck.
tools/bootcheck:
Add `--target asm' option. If that is set, pass `--target asm'
to mmake, and build and compare the stage 3 `.s' files rather
than the `.c' files.
Also add `--make-opts' option, for passing options to `make'.
Put `-k' in `--make-opts', not `--mmake-opts', since `-k' is
an option to `make', not to `mmake'. This makes a difference
since although `make' options can be passed to `mmake', any
options after the first `make' option are assumed to be
options to `make', not to `mmake'.

Implement a new data structure for declarative debugging. The
major differences between this and the old implementation are:
- The data structure is implemented in Mercury. The definition
of the type, and procedures for constructing values of that
type, have been moved from trace/mercury_trace_declarative.{c,h}
to browser/declarative_execution.m (which is a new module).
- The front end no longer needs to call the back end via an
indirect pointer---the front end does not call the back end at
all.
- The data structure is not specifically for wrong answer
analysis, it is intended to be used for any sort of analysis.
- The data structure represents execution at a lower level---the
new front end defines a more abstract view in terms of this
data structure.
Implement a test harness for debugging the front end code. This allows
the front end to run as a stand-alone program, which can then be
debugged using `mdb'.
The code in the front end does not currently handle the new structure
very nicely. This is because that code is about to undergo some major
structural changes, so there is little point cleaning it up now.
Consequently:
- Some of the code in the front end is incorrect (eg. the
user interface does not print missing answer nodes
properly).
- The tests have not been reinstated.
These things will be fixed in subsequent changes.
Likewise the compiler still reserves two stack slots, even though
only one is required. After this change the algorithm should be able
to get away with using no stack slots, so modifications to the compiler
will be postponed until then.
browser/declarative_execution.m:
New module. Implement the execution_tree typeclass, which
represents the execution of a Mercury program. Implement
two instances of this typeclass, one for normal use and one for
testing purposes.
browser/declarative_test.m:
New module. A test harness that can be compiled as a
stand-alone program, enabling the front end to be debugged.
trace/mercury_trace_declarative.c:
trace/mercury_trace_declarative.h:
- Remove the definition of the old data structure.
- Add some macros which enable the new Mercury data structure
to be destructively updated by C code.
- Change the interface to this module so that it reflects more
general diagnosis, not just wrong answer analysis.
- Implement the new algorithm.
- Call an alternative front end if in test mode.
- Update comments.
trace/mercury_trace_internal.h:
Add a new mode for debugging the declarative debugger.
trace/mercury_trace_internal.c:

- New interface to the diagnoser: types `diagnoser_response'
and `diagnoser_state', and procedure `diagnosis'.
- Define an instance of `mercury_edt' from an instance of
`execution_tree'.
