281796aa9a Make an addition to the type class info structure; add type infos for
Estimated hours taken: 10

Make an addition to the type class info structure; add type infos for
any type variables from the head of the instance declaration which are
unconstrained, and make the class method call mechanism insert these as
arguments to method calls. The implementations of methods expect to be passed
a type info for each unconstrained type variable and a type class info for
each constraint. Previously we were not passing the appropriate type infos.

Also move the documentation about the type class transformation from
polymorphism.m to a new file, compiler/notes/type_class_transformation.html.

compiler/base_typeclass_info.m:
        Generate the appropriate part of the new structure in the
        base_typeclass_info.
compiler/polymorphism.m:
        Add the appropriate type infos to the typeclass_info.
compiler/type_util.m:
        Add a new predicate `get_unconstrained_tvars'.
runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h:
        Update copy_typeclass_info to reflect the new structure.
runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
        Copy the extra type infos to the beginning of the arguments when
        doing a class method call.
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
        Update the macros used to access the type class info.

compiler/notes/type_class_transformation.html:
        The documentation about the type class transformation has been
        moved from polymorphism.m to here. This change corrects that
        documentation in several places and updates that documentation to
        reflect the changes to the typeclass_info structure from this diff.

tests/hard_coded/typeclasses/instance_unconstrained_tvar.exp:
tests/hard_coded/typeclasses/instance_unconstrained_tvar.m:
        A test case for this change.
tests/hard_coded/typeclasses/Mmakefile:
        Turn this test case on. For the moment, type specialisation is
        turned off for this test case as the specialiser does not insert the
        extra type infos that are needed.

Estimated hours taken: 8
                (including a few misguided tries...)

compiler/type_util.m:
        Add a new predicate, type_util__real_vars, which is the same
        as type_util__vars except it doesn't count type-info variables.
compiler/{continuation_info.m, hlds_pred.m, trace.m}:
        Use type_util__real_vars rather than type_util__vars since the
        latter was causing problems when calculating the live type-infos,
        and causing the failure of the test case
        tests/hard_coded/existential_rtti.m in debug grade.

736424a5e6 Remove type_id_is_hand_defined, because it makes bootstrapping hard.
Estimated hours taken: 1

Remove type_id_is_hand_defined, because it makes bootstrapping hard. Instead,
consider that a type is hand defined if it is abstract even in the module
that defines it, or if it appears on a short list of types which have
hand-defined RTTI even though they have (incorrect) Mercury definitions
as well. The list contains private_builtin's type_info, type_ctor_info,
typeclass_info and base_typeclass_info.

	type_id_has_hand_defined_rtti.

5940825cdb Implement syntax for getting and setting fields of constructors.
Estimated hours taken: 70

Implement syntax for getting and setting fields of constructors.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Add information about field definitions to the module_info.

	Check that user-defined field access functions for exported
	fields are also exported, otherwise predicates in other modules
	could use a different method to access a field than predicates
	in module defining the field.
	Add a `predicate preds_add_implicit_report_error' to allow that check
	to be performed for functions which are added to the module_info
	by some means other than a `:- func' declaration.

	Parse field access goals and expressions.

	Add predicates `insert_arg_unifications_with_supplied_contexts',
	and `append_arg_unification', which allow more control over
	the contexts given to the added unifications. These are
	useful because the field value for an update is really an
	argument of the inner-most update function call, while the
	input term is an argument of the outer-most function call.

compiler/prog_io_dcg.m:
	Allow DCG goals of the form `:=(DCGArg)', which unifies `DCGArg'
	with the output DCG argument, ignoring the input DCG argument.
	The rationale for this change is that if we have convenient syntax
	for updating parts of a DCG argument, we should also have convenient
	syntax for updating the whole DCG argument.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Add a default clause for field access functions for which
	the user has supplied type and mode declarations but no
	clauses.

	Typecheck field access function calls.

	Use `io__write_list' to remove some duplication of code
	to write out comma separated lists of error descriptions.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	Expand field accessor goals into the equivalent unifications.
	They are expanded inline rather than generating new get and set
	predicates for field name to avoid having to work out how to mode
	the generated predicates.

	Remove an unnecessary goal traversal to qualify function
	calls and constructors. That code is now called from purity.m.

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/prog_io.m:
compiler/mercury_to_goedel.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Store field names as `sym_name's rather than strings.
	Use a `maybe' type rather than an empty string to designate
	an unlabelled field.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Define data structures to hold information about
	the field names visible in a module.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Add a field to type module_info to hold information
	about the fields visible in a module.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add predicates to identify field access function names,
	and to handle the arguments of field access functions.

	because it is used by several other modules.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add a version of goal_info_init which takes the context of
	the goal, for use by make_hlds.m.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Add a predicate `type_util__get_type_and_cons_defn' to
	get the hlds_type_defn and hlds_cons_defn for a user-defined
	constructor.

compiler/prog_util.m:
	Add predicates to add and remove prefixes or suffixes
	from the unqualified part of a sym_name.

compiler/prog_out.m:
	Add a predicate to convert a `sym_name/arity' to a string.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Add `hlds_out__simple_call_id_to_string' to convert a
	`pred_or_func - sym_name/arity' to a string for use in
	error messages.

compiler/purity.m:
	Thread through the pred_info so that the expansion of field accessor
	goals can add new variables.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
library/ops.m:
	Reduce precedence of `^/2' for use as a field name separator.

	Add operator `^'/1 to designate which side of the `:=' is
	the field name in a DCG field access goal.

	Add operator `:=/2' for field update expressions.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Document the new syntax.

8a074ac664 Remove unnecessary explicit quantification goals before working
Estimated hours taken: 2

compiler/simplify.m:
	Remove unnecessary explicit quantification goals before working
	out whether a goal can cause a stack flush.

	Don't increase the non-locals set of an explicit quantification
	goal through common structure elimination because that could change
	the determinism.

	Don't optimize a singleton switch into a test followed
	by the case goal if the constructor being tested against
	is existentially quantified. This is necessary because
	the code to produce the test uses type_util__get_cons_id_arg_types,
	which does not correctly handle the existentially quantified
	type variables or the type-infos for those type variables.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Add type_util__is_existq_cons, which succeeds if a constructor
	is existentially typed.

	type_util__get_cons_id_arg_types now aborts if the cons_id
	is existentially typed rather than silently giving wrong answers.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Add a comment that goal_util__switch_to_disjunction and
	goal_util__case_to_disjunct abort on existentially typed constructors.

compiler/magic.m:
	Add an XXX comment that we should check for existentially
	typed constructors before calling goal_util__switch_to_disjunction.

34d52a4091 Fix a bug with switches on existential types.
Estimated hours taken: 12

Fix a bug with switches on existential types.  This bug meant that
existential types with two or more functors did not work at all,
due to internal compiler errors when compiling the unification and
comparison predicates for those types.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Add new function cons_id_adjusted_arity, which computes the
	arity _including_ the extra typeinfo and typeclassinfo
	arguments inserted for existential data types.

compiler/type_util.m:
compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Move the predicates constraint_list_get_tvars
	and constraint_get_tvars from polymorphism.m into
	type_util.m, for use in cons_id_adjusted_arity.

compiler/modes.m:
compiler/unique_modes.m:
	When modechecking the functor test in switch statements,
	use cons_id_adjusted_arity to compute the arity of the inst,

compiler/instmap.m:
	In instmap__bind_var_to_functor (and the instmap_delta version),
	use cons_id_adjusted_arity to compute the arity of the inst.

compiler/goal_util.m:
compiler/pd_info.m:

compiler/saved_vars.m:
compiler/mode_util.m:
compiler/deforest.m:
compiler/follow_code.m:
compiler/higher_order.m:
compiler/simplify.m:
	Pass the type(s) down to recompute_instmap_delta and
	instmap__bind_var_to_functor, since cons_id_adjusted_arity
	needs to know the type.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Add a `vartypes' typedef, defined by `:- type vartypes == map(prog_var, type)',
	and make use of it.  Rename the `vartypes' type in hlds_out as `maybe_vartypes'.

tests/hard_coded/Mmakefile:
tests/hard_coded/existential_type_switch.m:
tests/hard_coded/existential_type_switch.exp:
	Add a regression test.

tests/hard_coded/Mmakefile:
	Enable the existential_types_test.m test case,
	which should have been enabled previously.
	(The reason that it wasn't seems to be that I made
	a mistake when merging in the changes from the
	existential types branch.)

00df2750bd Remove the limitation of user-guided type specialization that
Estimated hours taken: 50

Remove the limitation of user-guided type specialization that
the replacement types must be ground.

compiler/higher_order.m:
	Only add extra type-infos, not typeclass-infos when
	--typeinfo-liveness is set, extracting type-infos from
	typeclass-infos where necessary. The arguments of the
	specialized version are now independent of the class context
	of the requesting procedure, which maximises the chance of multiple
	specialized calls to the same procedure being able to use the
	same code. The code to specialize calls is now slightly simpler
	because it does not have to work out how to order extra
	typeclass-info arguments.

	Specialize special preds for no-tag types where the
	wrapped type is an atomic type and the no-tag type does not
	have a user-defined equality pred. This will be useful
	for specializations involving type `term__var/1'.

	Make sure the proc_infos for specialized procedures are
	valid before reanalyzing the goals requesting the
	specializations.

	Rework the handling of branched goals to ensure that pred_infos
	and proc_infos are single threaded through branched goals - when
	higher_order.m was first written they were constant.

	Always go over all procedures for every predicate to make
	sure unifications are specialized in all procedures.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Check for type variables substituted multiple times
	or occurring on both sides of the substitution.

	Adjust the arity for specializations of functions.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Make sure the vartypes field for imported procedures is valid
	by copying it from the clauses_info to the proc_info.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
compiler/simplify.m:
compiler/table_gen.m:
compiler/magic.m:
	Remove an unused argument from polymorphism__make_type_info_vars.

compiler/type_util.m:
compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Add a predicate `type_util__type_has_user_defined_equality_pred'
	replacing similar code in det_analysis.m.

compiler/post_typecheck:
	Don't overwrite the vartypes field in the pred_info for
	automatically generated unification procedures for imported types.

library/varset.m:
	Add predicates `varset__merge_without_names' and
	`varset__merge_subst_without_names'.

compiler/equiv_type.m:
	Use the new predicates in varset.m to avoid adding the variable
	names from the declarations of equivalence types into the tvarsets
	of declarations which use those types. This is needed so that
	`varset__create_name_var_map' (used by make_hlds.m for
	`:- pragma type_spec' declarations and explicit type qualifications)
	is not confused by multiple occurrences of a variable name.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Remove documentation of the limitation that the substituted types
	must be ground.

tests/hard_coded/type_spec.m:
tests/hard_coded/type_spec.err_exp:
	Tests for non-ground substitutions and specialization of
	unification of no-tag types.

tests/invalid/type_spec.err_exp:
	Remove the error for a non-ground substitution.
	Add tests for recursive type substitutions and type variables
	with multiple replacement types.

	with no parameters.

b845fcb08f Fix a bug that was causing the compiler to fail the debugger
Estimated hours taken: 4

Fix a bug that was causing the compiler to fail the debugger
tests with an unknown layout error.  std_util:type_info/0 needs
to be defined by hand so we can tell the RTTI system that it is
a type_info.

This change breaks bootstrapping with earlier compilers.
Use the CVS tag bootstrap_19990719_handdefine_typeinfo to
bootstrap this change.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Add std_util:type_info/0 to the hand defined types.
	This is different to private_builtin:type_info/1 which
	was already there.  It was type_info/0 that the debugger
	was failing on.

library/builtin.m:
	Move the type_ctor_info for c_pointer back into this module.
	It should have finished bootstrapping by now.

library/std_util.m:
	Define type_ctor_info as (abstractly) equivalent to a type_info
	instead of equivalent to a c_pointer.  This will allow this type
	to be handled by the garbage collector or debugger.

runtime/mercury_bootstrap.c:
	Move the RTTI info for c_pointer out of this module.
	Add the type_ctor_info for type_info/0 as it is now a hand
	defined type.

tests/hard_coded/higher_order_type_manip.exp:
	Fix expected test results not that type_ctor_info is equivalent
	to type_info/0.

2725b1a331 Aditi update syntax, type and mode checking.
Estimated hours taken: 220

Aditi update syntax, type and mode checking.

Change the hlds_goal for constructions in preparation for
structure reuse to avoid making multiple conflicting changes.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Merge `higher_order_call' and `class_method_call' into a single
	`generic_call' goal type. This also has alternatives for the
	various Aditi builtins for which type declarations can't
	be written.

	Remove the argument types field from higher-order/class method calls.
	It wasn't used often, and wasn't updated by optimizations
	such as inlining. The types can be obtained from the vartypes
	field of the proc_info.

	Add a `lambda_eval_method' field to lambda_goals.

	Add a field to constructions to identify which RL code fragment should
	be used for an top-down Aditi closure.

	Add fields to constructions to hold structure reuse information.
	This is currently ignored -- the changes to implement structure
	reuse will be committed to the alias branch.
	This is included here to avoid lots of CVS conflicts caused by
	changing the definition of `hlds_goal' twice.

	Add a field to `some' goals to specify whether the quantification
	can be removed. This is used to make it easier to ensure that
	indexes are used for updates.

	Add a field to lambda_goals to describe whether the modes were
	guessed by the compiler and may need fixing up after typechecking
	works out the argument types.

	Add predicate `hlds_goal__generic_call_id' to work out a call_id
	for a generic call for use in error messages.

compiler/purity.m:
compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	Fill in the modes of Aditi builtin calls and closure constructions.
	This needs to know which are the `aditi__state' arguments, so
	it must be done after typechecking.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Added `:- type sym_name_and_arity ---> sym_name/arity'.

	Add a type `lambda_eval_method', which describes how a closure
	is to be executed. The alternatives are normal Mercury execution,
	bottom-up execution by Aditi and top-down execution by Aditi.

compiler/prog_out.m:
	Add predicate `prog_out__write_sym_name_and_arity', which
	replaces duplicated inline code in a few places.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add a `lambda_eval_method' field to `pred_const' cons_ids and
	`pred_closure_tag' cons_tags.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Remove type `pred_call_id', replace it with type `simple_call_id',
	which combines a `pred_or_func' and a `sym_name_and_arity'.

	Add a type `call_id' which describes all the different types of call,
	including normal calls, higher-order and class-method calls
	and Aditi builtins.

	Add `aditi_top_down' to the type `marker'.

	Remove `aditi_interface' from type `marker'. Interfacing to
	Aditi predicates is now handled by `generic_call' hlds_goals.

	Add a type `rl_exprn_id' which identifies a predicate to
	be executed top-down by Aditi.
	Add a `maybe(rl_exprn_id)'  field to type `proc_info'.

	Add predicate `adjust_func_arity' to convert between the arity
	of a function to its arity as a predicate.

	Add predicates `get_state_args' and `get_state_args_det' to
	extract the DCG state arguments from an argument list.

	Add predicate `pred_info_get_call_id' to get a `simple_call_id'
	for a predicate for use in error messages.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Write the new representation for call_ids.

	Add a predicate `hlds_out__write_call_arg_id' which
	replaces similar code in mode_errors.m and typecheck.m.

compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
	Add support for `aditi_bottom_up' and `aditi_top_down' annotations
	on pred expressions.

compiler/prog_io_util.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Add predicates
	- `prog_io_util:parse_name_and_arity' to parse `SymName/Arity'
		(moved from prog_io_pragma.m).
	- `prog_io_util:parse_pred_or_func_name_and_arity to parse
		`pred SymName/Arity' or `func SymName/Arity'.
	- `prog_io_util:parse_pred_or_func_and_args' to parse terms resembling
		a clause head (moved from prog_io_pragma.m).

compiler/type_util.m:
	Add support for `aditi_bottom_up' and `aditi_top_down' annotations
	on higher-order types.

	Add predicates `construct_higher_order_type',
	`construct_higher_order_pred_type' and
	`construct_higher_order_func_type' to avoid some code duplication.

compiler/mode_util.m:
	Add predicate `unused_mode/1', which returns `builtin:unused'.
	Add functions `aditi_di_mode/0', `aditi_ui_mode/0' and
	`aditi_uo_mode/0' which return `in', `in', and `out', but will
	be changed to return `di', `ui' and `uo' when alias tracking
	is implemented.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Add predicate `goal_util__generic_call_vars' which returns
	any arguments to a generic_call which are not in the argument list,
	for example the closure passed to a higher-order call or
	the typeclass_info for a class method call.

compiler/llds.m:
compiler/exprn_aux.m:
compiler/dupelim.m:
compiler/llds_out.m:
compiler/opt_debug.m:
	Add builtin labels for the Aditi update operations.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Add predicate predicate_table_search_pf_sym, used for finding
	possible matches for a call with the wrong number of arguments.

compiler/intermod.m:
	Don't write predicates which build `aditi_top_down' goals,
	because there is currently no way to tell importing modules
	which RL code fragment to use.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Obey the `cannot_remove' field of explicit quantification goals.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Parse Aditi updates.

	Don't typecheck clauses for which syntax errors in Aditi updates
	are found - this avoids spurious "undefined predicate `aditi_insert/3'"
	errors.

	Factor out some common code to handle terms of the form `Head :- Body'.
	Factor out common code in the handling of pred and func expressions.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Typecheck Aditi builtins.

	Allow the argument types of matching predicates to be adjusted
	when typechecking the higher-order arguments of Aditi builtins.

	Change `typecheck__resolve_pred_overloading' to take a list of
	argument types rather than a `map(var, type)' and a list of
	arguments to allow a transformation to be performed on the
	argument types before passing them.

compiler/error_util.m:
	Move the part of `report_error_num_args' which writes
	"wrong number of arguments (<x>; expected <y>)" from
	typecheck.m for use by make_hlds.m when reporting errors
	for Aditi builtins.

compiler/modes.m:
compiler/unique_modes.m:
compiler/modecheck_call.m:
	Modecheck Aditi builtins.

compiler/lambda.m:
	Handle the markers for predicates introduced for
	`aditi_top_down' and `aditi_bottom_up' lambda expressions.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Add extra type_infos to `aditi_insert' calls
	describing the tuple to insert.

compiler/call_gen.m:
	Generate code for Aditi builtins.

compiler/unify_gen.m:
compiler/bytecode_gen.m:
	Abort on `aditi_top_down' and `aditi_bottom_up' lambda
	expressions - code generation for them is not yet implemented.

compiler/magic.m:
	Use the `aditi_call' generic_call rather than create
	a new procedure for each Aditi predicate called from C.

compiler/rl_out.pp:
compiler/rl_gen.m:
compiler/rl.m:
	Move some utility code used by magic.m and call_gen.m into rl.m.

	Remove an XXX comment about reference counting being not yet
	implemented - Evan has fixed that.

library/ops.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
doc/transition_guide.texi:
	Add unary prefix operators `aditi_bottom_up' and `aditi_top_down',

8c97633e71 Allow construction unifications for existentially typed functors,
Estimated hours taken: 6

Allow construction unifications for existentially typed functors,
using the syntax "X = 'new foo'(Y)" rather than the usual "X = foo(Y)".
We need to use a special syntax for exisentially typed constructions
because type analysis and polymorphism need to know which occurrences
of existentially typed functors are constructors and which are deconstructors.

Note that we still don't yet support RTTI for existentially typed data types.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	For existentially typed functors, allow the functor to have
	a "new " prefix, and if so, make the quantifiers and constraints
	universal rather than existential.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	For unifications with existentially typed functors,
	check for a "new " prefix on the functor.
	If the functor has such a prefix, strip off the prefix,
	and treat the unification as a construction rather than
	treating it as a deconstruction.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Define a new predicate `remove_new_prefix', for use by typecheck.m
	and polymorphism.m.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
	For construction unifications, check that all the type_info
	and typeclass_info arguments introduced by polymorphism.m
	are ground.

tests/hard_coded/typeclasses/existential_data_types.m:
	Change the test case to use this new feature,
	rather than hacking it using the C interface.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Document the new features.

ec86c88404 Merge in the changes from the existential_types_2 branch.
Estimated hours taken: 4

Merge in the changes from the existential_types_2 branch.

This change adds support for mode re-ordering of code involving
existential types.  The change required modifying the order of the
compiler passes so that polymorphism comes before mode analysis,
so that mode analysis can check the modes of the `type_info' or
`typeclass_info' variables that polymorphism introduces, so that
it can thus re-order the code accordingly.

This change also includes some more steps towards making existential data
types work.  In particular, you should be able to declare existentially
typed data types, the compiler will generate appropriate unification
and compare/3 routines for them, and deconstruction unifications for them
should work OK.  However, currently there's no way to construct them
except via `pragam c_code', and we don't generate correct RTTI for them,
so you can't use `io__write' etc. on them.

Estimated hours taken: 2

Making changes to type_ctor_infos for the builtin types array and univ
is much easier if we can simply change their type_ctor_info by hand
rather than detecting them as simple cases.  They already have their
type_ctor_functors and layouts defined by hand anyway.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Turn off the generation of type_ctor_info for the types array:array
	and std_util:univ.

runtime/mercury_bootstrap.c:
	Put type_ctor_infos for these types into the bootstrapping file.
	They are not needed (or wanted) for stage 1, but needed for stage 2.
	We rename the functors and layouts slightly so that the stage 2
	linking doesn't have them multiply defined.

User-guided type specialization.

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
compiler/modules.m:
compiler/module_qual.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Handle `:- pragma type_spec'.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Factor out some common code to parse predicate names with arguments.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Added a field to the module_sub_info to hold information about
	user-requested type specializations, filled in by make_hlds.m
	and not used by anything after higher_order.m.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	For each `:- pragma type_spec' declaration, introduce a new predicate
	which just calls the predicate to be specialized with the
	specified argument types. This forces higher_order.m to produce
	the specialized versions.

compiler/higher_order.m:
	Process the user-requested type specializations first to ensure
	that they get the correct names.
	Allow partial matches against user-specified versions, e.g.
		map__lookup(map(int, list(int)), int, list(int)) matches
		map__lookup(map(int, V), int, V).
	Perform specialization where a typeclass constraint matches a
	known instance, but the construction of the typeclass_info is
	done in the calling module.
	Give slightly more informative progress messages.

compiler/dead_proc_elim.m:
	Remove specializations for dead procedures.

compiler/prog_io_util.m:
	Change the definition of the `maybe1' and `maybe_functor' types
	to avoid the need for copying to convert between `maybe1'
	and `maybe1(generic)'.
	Changed the interface of `make_pred_name_with_context' to allow
	creation of predicate names for type specializations which describe
	the type substitution.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Make the specification of pragma declarations in error
	messages consistent. (There are probably some more to
	be fixed elsewhere for termination and tabling).

compiler/intermod.m:
	Write type specialization pragmas for predicates declared
	in `.opt' files.

	Export `mercury_output_item' for use by intermod.m.

	Add an option `--user-guided-type-specialization' enabled
	with `-O2' or higher.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	`--type-specialization' implies `--user-guided-type-specialization'.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add predicates to construct constants. These are duplicated
	in several other places, I'll fix that as a separate change.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Added functions `int_type/0', `string_type/0', `float_type/0'
	and `char_type/0' which return the builtin types.
	These are duplicated in several other places,
	I'll fix that as a separate change.

library/private_builtin.m:
	Added `instance_constraint_from_typeclass_info/3' to extract
	the typeclass_infos for a constraint on an instance declaration.
	This is useful for specializing class method calls.
	Added `thread_safe' to various `:- pragma c_code's.
	Added `:- pragma inline' declarations for `builtin_compare_*', which
	are important for user-guided type specialization. (`builtin_unify_*'
	are simple enough to go in the `.opt' files automatically).

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	`instance_constraint_from_typeclass_info/3' does not need type_infos.
	Add `instance_constraint_from_typeclass_info/3' to the
	list of `typeclass_info_manipulator's which higher_order.m
	can interpret.

Estimated hours taken: 1200

Aditi compilation.

compiler/options.m:
	The documentation for these is commented out because the Aditi
	system is not currently useful to the general public.
	--aditi: enable Aditi compilation.
	--dump-rl: write the intermediate RL to `<module>.rl_dump'.
	--dump-rl-bytecode: write a text version of the bytecodes
		to `<module>.rla'
	--aditi-only: don't produce a `.c' file.
	--filenames-from-stdin: accept a list of filenames to compile
		from stdin. This is used by the query shell.
	--optimize-rl, --optimize-rl-cse, --optimize-rl-invariants,
	--optimize-rl-index, --detect-rl-streams:
		Options to control RL optimization passes.
	--aditi-user:
		Default owner of any Aditi procedures,
		defaults to $USER or "guest".
	--generate-schemas:
		write schemas for base relations to `<module>'.base_schema
		and schemas for derived relations to `<module>'.derived_schema.
		This is used by the query shell.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Handle the default for --aditi-user.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Add some Aditi pragma declarations - `aditi', `supp_magic', `context',
	`naive', `psn' (predicate semi-naive), `aditi_memo', `aditi_no_memo',
	`base_relation', `owner' and `index'.
	Separate out code to parse a predicate name and arity.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add predicates to identify Aditi procedures.
	Added markers `generate_inline' and `aditi_interface', which
	are used internally for Aditi code generation.
	Add an `owner' field to pred_infos, which is used for database
	security checks.
	Add a field to pred_infos to hold the list of indexes for a base
	relation.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Some pragmas must be exported if the corresponding predicates
	are exported, check this.
	Make sure stratification of Aditi procedures is checked.
	Predicates with a mode declaration but no type declaration
	are no longer assumed to be local.
	Set the `do_aditi_compilation' field of the module_info if there
	are any local Aditi procedures or base relations.
	Check that `--aditi' is set if Aditi compilation is required.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	Check that every Aditi predicate has an `aditi__state' argument,
	which is used to ensure sequencing of updates and that Aditi
	procedures are only called within transactions.

compiler/dnf.m:
	Changed the definition of disjunctive normal form slightly
	so that a call followed by some atomic goals not including
	any database calls is considered atomic. magic.m can handle
	this kind of goal, and it results in more efficient RL code.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
compiler/dependency_graph.m:
	Added dependency_graph__get_scc_entry_points which finds
	the procedures in an SCC which could be called from outside.
	Added a new field to the dependency_info, the
	aditi_dependency_ordering. This contains all Aditi SCCs of
	the original program, with multiple SCCs merged where
	possible to improve the effectiveness of differential evaluation
	and the low level RL optimizations.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Add a field to record whether there are any local Aditi procedures
	in the current module.
	Added versions of module_info_pred_proc_info and
	module_info_set_pred_proc_info which take a pred_proc_id,
	not a separate pred_id and proc_id.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
compiler/lambda.m:
	Make sure that predicates created for closures in Aditi procedures
	have the correct markers.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Added goal_util__switch_to_disjunction,
	goal_util__case_to_disjunct (factored out from simplify.m)
	and goal_util__if_then_else_to_disjunction. These are
	require because supplementary magic sets can't handle
	if-then-elses or switches.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Added type_is_aditi_state/1.

compiler/mode_util.m:
	Added partition_args/5 which partitions a list of arguments
	into inputs and others.

compiler/inlining.m:
	Don't inline memoed procedures.
	Don't inline Aditi procedures into non-Aditi procedures.

compiler/intermod.m:
	Handle Aditi markers.
	Clean up handling of markers which should not appear in `.opt' files.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Export a slightly different interface for use by magic.m.
	Remove explicit quantifications where possible.
	Merge multiple nested quantifications.
	Don't report infinite recursion warnings for Aditi procedures.

compiler/passes_aux.m:
	Add predicates to process only non-Aditi procedures.

compiler/llds.m:
compiler/llds_out.m:

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Don't try to print clauses if there are none.

runtime/mercury_init.h:
util/mkinit.c:
scripts/c2init.in:
	Added a function `mercury__load_aditi_rl_code()' to the generated

These changes make `var' and `term' polymorphic. This allows us to make
variables and terms representing types of a different type to those
representing program terms and those representing insts.

These changes do not *fix* any existing problems (for instance
there was a messy conflation of program variables and inst variables,
and where necessary I've just called varset__init(InstVarSet) with
an XXX comment).

NEWS:
	Mention the changes to the standard library.

library/term.m:

f05dc52d86 Fix a bug in the renaming of tvars in type class constraint proofs, and
Estimated hours taken: 20

Fix a bug in the renaming of tvars in type class constraint proofs, and
generally clean up the handling of variable renaming in polymorphism.m.

Change the representation of constraint_proofs to only hold the number of an
instance declaration and not the hlds_instance_defn itself. This means that
polymorphism must look up the instance table to get at hlds_instance_defn,
then calculate the appropriate renamings and substitutions. The rationale
behind this is that the proofs for the superclasses, stored in the
hlds_instance_defn, also need to be renamed. However, we can't just rename
them during typecheck.m because they may not contain proofs for *all* their
ancestors --- that would require topologically sorting the instance defns
before check_typeclass.m.

Also delete the code which attempts to specialise class method calls because
Simon's recent change does this anyway.

hlds_data.m:
        Change the constraint_proof representation to only hold instance
        numbers, not definitions.
polymorphism.m:
        When applying an instance decl, look it up in the instance table
        rather than trying to use the half-renamed one in the proof.

        Also, rather than trying to pass down a renaming substution into
        polymorphism__make_typeclass_info_var, rename everything before
        calling it.
type_util.m:
        Add two new predicates: apply_subst_to_constraint_proofs and
        apply_rec_subst_to_constraint_proofs.
typecheck.m:
        Only store the instance number in the proof.

3e244090d7 Rework the handling of types in higher_order.m.
Estimated hours taken: 50

Rework the handling of types in higher_order.m.
- Fix bugs in higher_order.m that stopped it working with --typeinfo-liveness.
- Perform type and typeclass specialisation.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Previously the type of typeclass_infos variables did not contain
	any information about the constraint about which the variable contains
	information. Now the type of a typeclass_info is
	`private_builtin:typeclass_info(
		private_builtin:constraint([ClassName, ConstrainedTypes]))'.
	This allows predicates such as type_list_subsumes to check that
	the class constraints match.
	Note that `private_builtin:constraint' has no declaration, so
	a lookup in the type definition map will fail. That's OK, because
	type_to_type_id will fail on it, so it will be treated as a type
	variable by any code which doesn't manipulate types directly.
	Added polymorphism__typeclass_info_class_constraint to get the
	class_constraint from a typeclass_info's type. This isn't used yet.

	Also, fix a bug in extract_type_info: an entry in the typeinfo_var_map
	was being overwritten using an entry from a dummy typevarset. Actually
	the optimization to overwrite the location of the type_info after
	extracting it from a typeclass_info was wrong because the type_info
	won't be in that location in other branches.

compiler/higher_order.m:
	Rework the handling of type substitutions. Now the types of the
	called procedure are `inlined' into the calling procedure, rather
	than building up the types of the specialised version using the
	higher-order arguments. The advantage of this is that the code is
	a bit simpler and handles extra type_infos properly. The disadvantage
	is that the argument types for specialised versions may be more
	specific than they need to be, so in some cases more specialised
	versions will be created than before.
	Also, don't actually rebuild the higher-order terms in the specialised
	versions - just pass the terms through in case they are needed.
	Handle the extra typeinfos required for --typeinfo-liveness.
	Specialize calls to unify/2, index/2 and compare/3.
	Specialize class_method_calls.
	Specialize calls to the predicates in private_builtin.m which
	manipulate typeclass_infos.

compiler/type_util.m:
	type_to_type_id now fails on the dummy `constraint' type.
	Remove typeinfos for non-variable types from the typeinfo_varmap
	after inlining and higher-order specialisation.

compiler/inlining.m:
	Factor out some common code to handle type substitutions
	for use by higher_order.m.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Return the list of extra type_info variables added to the
	argument list.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Take a set of non-locals as an argument to
	goal_util__extra_nonlocal_typeinfos rather than extracting
	them from a goal.

compiler/special_pred.m:
	Handle unmangled unify/compare/index in special_pred_get_type.

compiler/base_type_layout.m:
	Don't generate references to the typeinfo for
	`private_builtin:constraint' - it doesn't exist.

compiler/unused_args.m:
	Don't barf on specialised unification predicate names.

compiler/options.m:
	Added options:
	`--type-specialization' (default off).
	`--higher-order-size-limit' - restrict the size of specialized
		versions produced by higher_order.m.
	`--disable-opt-for-trace' (default on) - where possible don't
		change the options to make the trace match the source code.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Don't disable higher_order.m when --typeinfo-liveness is set.
	Handle `--disable-opt-for-trace'.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
compiler/*.m:
	Add the instance number to `base_typeclass_info_const' cons_ids,
	so that higher_order.m can easily index into the list of instances
	for a class to find the methods.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Use the correct varset when printing out the constraint proofs.
	Write the typeclass_info_varmap for each procedure.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Print type variables with variable numbers.

library/private_builtin.m:
	Add the argument to the typeclass_info type to hold the representation
	of the constraint.

runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
	Semidet and nondet class_method_calls where
	(0 < num_arg_typeclass_infos < 4) were aborting at runtime
	because arguments were being placed starting at r1 rather
	than at r(1 + num_arg_typeclass_infos).

doc/user_guide.texi
	Document the new options.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Update the role of higher_order.m.

tests/hard_coded/typeclasses/extra_typeinfo.m:
	Test case for the mercury_ho_call.c bug and the polymorphism.m
	extract_typeinfo bug and for updating the typeclass_info_varmap
	for specialised versions.

6455e041cb Merge in the changes from the existential types branch,
Estimated hours taken: 6
	(plus another 80 or so already recorded for
	my commits on the existential_types branch)

Merge in the changes from the existential types branch,
and make some modifications to address dgj's code review comments.

These changes add support for existentially quantified type variables
and type class constraints on functions and predicates.
(Existential data types, however, are not supported -- see below.)

Existentially quantified type variables are introduced with
an explicit `some [T]', e.g. `:- some [T] pred foo(T)'.
Existentially quantified type class constraints are introduced
with `&' instead of `<=', e.g. `:- some [T] (pred foo(T) & ord(T))'.

There's still several limitations:

0.  XXX It's not yet documented in the language reference manual.

1.  XXX It doesn't do any mode checking or mode reordering.
    If you write code that uses existentially typed procedures in the
    wrong order, then you'll get an internal error in polymorphism.m
    or in the code generator.  (Cases where a type_info has no
    producer at all are caught by the check for unbound type
    variables in post_typecheck.m.)

    To support this, we need to change things so that polymorphism.m
    gets invoked before mode checking.

2.  Using `in' modes on arguments of existential type won't work.
    If you try, you will get a compile error.

    It would be nice to extend things to allow this kind of
    "implied mode" for type_infos, where an existential type
    becomes a universal type if some value of that type is
    input.  Supporting this would require first fixing
    limitation 1 (described above) and then

3.  There's no support for `pragma c_code' for procedures
    with existential type class constraints.
    (In fact, there's not really any support for `pragma c_code'
    for procedures with universal type class constraints either --
    the C code has no way of getting access to the type class info.)

4.  XXX Taking the address of something which is existentially typed
    should be illegal, but we don't check this.

In addition, these changes in this batch make a start towards allowing
existentially typed data types.  The compiler now accepts existential
quantifiers and type class constraints on type definitions, and type
checks them accordingly (assuming all functor occurrences are
deconstructors, not constructors -- see limitation 2 above).  But
there's no special handling for them in polymorphism.m, so if you try
to use them, it will abort with an internal error.

The changes also includes fixes for a couple of bugs in typechecking
and polymorphism that I discovered while making the above changes,
and an improvement to the error reporting from typecheck.m in one case.
Those changes are listed separately below.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add a new type `class_constraints', which holds two different
	lists of constraints, namely the existentially quantified constraints
	and the universally quantified ones.
	Add a new field to the parse tree representation of pred and
	func declarations to hold a list of the existentially quantified
	type variables, and change the `list(class_constraint)' into
	`class_constraints' so that we can store existential constraints too.
	Add new fields to the `constructor' data type (formerly just a pair)
	to hold the existentially quantified type variables and
	type class constraints.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add several new fields to the pred_info:
	  - a list of the existentially quantified type variables;
	  - a list of the "HeadTypeParams": type variables which
	    cannot be bound by this predicate (i.e. those whose type_infos
	    come from this pred's caller or are returned from
	    other preds called by this one);
	  - and a list of unsatisfied type class constraints.
	Add a predicate pred_info_get_univ_quant_tvars to compute the
	universally quantified type variables.
	Change the pred constraints field from `list(class_constraint)'
	to `class_constraints' so that it can hold existential constraints too.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add new fields to hlds_cons_defn to hold the existentially
	quantified type variables and type class constraints.

compiler/*.m:
	Minor changes to reflect the above-mentioned data structure
	changes in prog_data.m, hlds_pred.m, and hlds_data.m.

compiler/prog_io.m:
	Add code to parse the new constructs.

	Also rewrite the code for parsing purity specifiers,
	type quantifiers and type class constraints, using basically
	the method suggested by Peter Schachte: treat these as
	"declaration attributes", and have parse_decl strip off
	all the declaration attributes into a seperate list and
	then pass that list to process_decl, which for each different
	kind of declaration processes the attributes which are
	appropriate for that declaration and then calls check_no_attributes
	to ensure that there were no inappropriate attributes.

	The purpose of this rewrite was to allow it to handle the new
	constructs properly, and to avoid unnecessary code duplication.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Add code to pretty-print the new constructs.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Copy the new fields in the parse tree into the
	corresponding new fields in the pred_info.
	Add code to check for various misuses of quantifiers.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Print out the new fields in the pred_info (except the
	unsatisfied type class constraints -- if these are non-empty,
	post_typecheck.m will print them out in the error message).
	When printing out types, pass the AppendVarNums parameter down,
	so that HLDS dumps will distinguish between different type
	variables that have the same name.
	Delete hlds_out__write_constructor, since it was doing exactly
	the same thing as mercury__output_ctor.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Lots of changes to handle existential types and existential
	type class constraints.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	When checking for unbound type variables,
	use the value of HeadTypeParams from the pred_info.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Delete `type_and_constraint_list_matches_exactly', since it was not
	used.  Add various `apply_variable_renaming_to_*' predicates for
	renaming constraints.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Lots of changes to handle existential types and existential
	type class constraints.
	Also some changes to make the code more maintainable:

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Put curly braces around the definitions of 'some'/2 and '&'/2 functors
	in `:- type' definitions, to avoid them being misinterpreted as
	existential type constraints.

compiler/goal_util.m:
compiler/polymorphism.m:
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/lambda.m:
	Include type_infos for existentially quantified type variables
	and type_class_infos for existential constraints
	in the set of extra variables computed by
	goal_util__extra_type_info_vars.

compiler/inlining.m:
	Change inlining__do_goal to handle inlining of calls to
	existentially typed predicates -- for them, instead of not
	binding any type variables at all in the caller, it allows the
	call to bind any type variables in the caller except for those
	that are universally quantified.

compiler/inlining.m:
compiler/deforest.m:
	Call pred_info_get_univ_quant_tvars and pass the
	result to inlining__do_inline_goal.

	existential type class constraints.

----------

Improve an error message.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Improve error reporting by checking type class constraints for
	satisfiability as we go and thus reporting unsatisfiable constraints
	as soon as possible, rather than only at the end of the clause.
	Previously we already did that for the case of ground constraints,
	but they are not the only unsatsfiable constraints: constraints
	on head type params (type variables which cannot be bound) are
	also unsatisfiable if they can't be eliminated straight away
	by context reduction.

tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
tests/invalid/typeclass_test_7.{m,err_exp}:
	Regression test for the above change.

----------

Avoid problems where type inference was reporting some
spurious errors for predicates using type classes,
because the check for unsatisfied type class constraints
was being done before the final pass of type inference
had finished.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add new field to the pred_info containing the unproven
	type class constraints.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	When inferring type class constraints, make sure that before
	we save the results back in the pred_info, we restrict the
	constraints to the head type variables.  Constraints
	on other type variables should be treated as
	unsatisfied constraints.

	Don't check for unsatisfied type class constraints at the
	end of each pass; instead, just save the unproven type class
	constraints in the pred_info.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	Check for unsatisfied type class constraints, using
	the new field in the pred_info.

tests/hard_coded/typeclasses/inference_test_2.{m,exp}:
tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
tests/invalid/typeclass_test_8.{m,err_exp}:
	Add regression tests for this change.

----------

Fix a bug with the computation of the non-locals for
predicates with more than one constraint on the same type variable --
it was only including one of the type-class-infos, rather than all of them.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Change `goal_util__extra_nonlocal_typeinfos' so that it gets
	passed the TypeClassInfoVarMap and uses this to include all
	the appropriate typeclass infos in the extra nonlocals.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/lambda.m:
compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Pass the TypeClassInfoVarMap to `goal_util__extra_nonlocal_typeinfos'.

fd691889bf Get rid of unnecessary type variables when creating the auxiliary predicate
Estimated hours taken: 3

Get rid of unnecessary type variables when creating the auxiliary predicate
for an instance method.  This will hopefully be a little more robust than
the current approach since typecheck.m is now able to get rid of any unused
tvars...  they *must* have been introduced by type inference.

library/varset.m:
        Add a predicate varset__squash which gets rid of unused variables.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
        Call varset__squash to get rid of the unnecessary tvars.

compiler/typecheck.m:
        Call varset__squash to get rid of the unnecessary tvars, rather than
        doing it "manually".

247b1c24b9 Fix various invasions of the user's namespace by `mercury_builtin.m',
Estimated hours taken: 6

Fix various invasions of the user's namespace by `mercury_builtin.m',
by splitting mercury_builtin.m into two modules, called builtin.m and
private_builtin.m, and ensuring that the latter is imported as if
by `:- use_module' rather than `:- import_module'.

library/builtin.m:
library/private_builtin.m:
	Split mercury_builtin.m into two modules, builtin.m,
	which contains stuff intended to be public,
	and private_builtin.m, which contains implementation
	details that are not supposed to be public.

library/mercury_builtin.m:
	Add a comment saying that this module is no longer used, and
	should eventually be removed.  I have not removed it yet, since
	that would prevent bootstrapping with the current compiler.  It
	will be removed as a seperate change later, once all the
	changes have propagated.

compiler/prog_util.m:
	Change the definition of mercury_private_builtin_module/1 and
	mercury_public_builtin_module so that instead of automatically
	importing mercury_builtin.m as if by `import_module', the
	copiler will now automatically import builtin.m as if by
	`import_module' and private_builtin.m as if by `use_module'.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Change a call to mercury_private_builtin_module/1 for
	unsafe_promise_unique to instead call mercury_public_builtin_module/1.

compiler/unify_proc.m:
	Avoid hard-coding "mercury_builtin" by instead
	calling one of  mercury_{private,public}_builtin_module/1.

library/term.m:
library/std_util.m:
compiler/code_util.m:

c273ecdbcc A re-work of check_typeclass.m. Now, rather than the ad-hoc approach of
Estimated hours taken: 25

A re-work of check_typeclass.m. Now, rather than the ad-hoc approach of
checking each method of each instance declaration for *exact* type and mode
correctness, we generate a new predicate that gets inserted into the HLDS.
This predicate is checked for type, mode, uniqueness and determinism
correctness in the appropriate compiler pass.

As a consequence, the check_typeclass pass now has to come before typecheck.m.
Previously, it was the final semantic analysis pass because it had to use
type, mode, uniqueness and determinism information. The new approach does not
need that information to be available.

This has the following user-visible improvements:
	- constraints on class methods are now checked properly. An
	  instance's implementation of a method may be less constrained.
	  (Previously, these constraints weren't even checked at all. Oops).
	- a method implementation may be more polymorphic than expected
	- implied modes will be used for methods if necessary

This is a much more robust approach (and it co-incides with the typeclass
paper ;-) ).

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	Introduce the auxiliary predicate for the instance method. As an
	optimisation, do not introduce the predicate if the implementation
	given is an *exact* match (in terms of types, modes and determinism).
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Put the check_typeclass pass before typechecking.
compiler/type_util.m:
	Change type_list_matches_exactly to
	type_and_constraint_list_matches_exactly since check_typeclass is
	also responsible for checking constraints on method implementations.
	(This is only used in the optimisation mentioned above).

Estimated hours taken: 12

Fix some bugs in the handling of "non-simple" type class constraints
(ones for which the types being constrained are not just type variables).

compiler/prog_io_typeclass.m:
	Ensure that constraints on type class declarations must be "simple".
	This is needed the ensure termination of type checking.
	(We already did this for instance declarations, but not for
	superclass constraints on type class declarations.)

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Document the invariant that the types in a type class constraint
	must not contain any information in their term__context fields.

compiler/type_util.m:
compiler/equiv_type.m:
compiler/polymorphism.m:
compiler/prog_io_typeclass.m:
	Enforce the above-mentioned invariant.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Allow the declared constraints to be a superset of the
	inferred constraints.
	When performing context reduction, eliminate declared
	constraints at each step rather than only at the end.
	Remove declared constraints and apply superclass rules
	before applying instance rules.
	When applying instance rules, make sure that it is a type
	error if there is no matching instance rule for a ground
	constraint.
	If context reduction results in an error, restore the
	original type assign set, to avoid repeating the same
	error message at every subsequent call to perform_context_reduction.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	Change the way we superclass conformance for instance declarations
	to take advantage of the new "DeclaredConstraints" argument to
	typecheck__reduce_context_by_rule_application.

11d8161692 Add support for nested modules.
Estimated hours taken: 50

Add support for nested modules.

- module names may themselves be module-qualified
- modules may contain `:- include_module' declarations
  which name sub-modules
- a sub-module has access to all the declarations in the
  parent module (including its implementation section).

This support is not yet complete; see the BUGS and LIMITATIONS below.

LIMITATIONS
- source file names must match module names
	(just as they did previously)
- mmc doesn't allow path names on the command line any more
	(e.g. `mmc --make-int ../library/foo.m').
- import_module declarations must use the fully-qualified module name
- module qualifiers must use the fully-qualified module name
- no support for root-qualified module names
	(e.g. `:parent:child' instead of `parent:child').
- modules may not be physically nested (only logical nesting, via
  `include_module').

BUGS
- doesn't check that the parent module is imported/used before allowing
	import/use of its sub-modules.
- doesn't check that there is an include_module declaration in the
	parent for each module claiming to be a child of that parent
- privacy of private modules is not enforced

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

NEWS:
	Mention that we support nested modules.

library/ops.m:
library/nc_builtin.nl:
library/sp_builtin.nl:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Add `include_module' as a new prefix operator.
	Change the associativity of `:' from xfy to yfx
	(since this made parsing module qualifiers slightly easier).

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add new `include_module' declaration.
	Change the `module_name' and `module_specifier' types
	from strings to sym_names, so that module names can
	themselves be module qualified.

compiler/modules.m:
	Add predicates module_name_to_file_name/2 and
	file_name_to_module_name/2.
	Lots of changes to handle parent module dependencies,
	to create parent interface (`.int0') files, to read them in,
	to output correct dependencies information for them to the
	`.d' and `.dep' files, etc.
	Rewrite a lot of the code to improve the readability
	(add comments, use subroutines, better variable names).
	Also fix a couple of bugs:
	- generate_dependencies was using the transitive implementation
	  dependencies rather than the transitive interface dependencies
	  to compute the `.int3' dependencies when writing `.d' files
	  (this bug was introduced during crs's changes to support
	  `.trans_opt' files)
	- when creating the `.int' file, it was reading in the
	  interfaces for modules imported in the implementation section,
	  not just those in the interface section.
	  This meant that the compiler missed a lot of errors.

library/graph.m:

library/term.m:
library/term_io.m:
library/varset.m:
compiler/*.m:
	Add `:- import_module' declarations to the interface needed
	by declarations in the interface.  (The previous version
	of the compiler did not detect these missing interface imports,
	due to the above-mentioned bug in modules.m.)

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/intermod.m:
	Change mercury_compile__maybe_grab_optfiles and
	intermod__grab_optfiles so that they grab the opt files for
	parent modules as well as the ones for imported modules.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Minor changes to handle parent module dependencies.
	(Also improve the wording of the warning about trans-opt
	dependencies.)

compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/module_qual.m:
	Ignore `:- include_module' declarations.

compiler/module_qual.m:
	A couple of small changes to handle nested module names.

compiler/prog_out.m:

	Add new predicates string_to_sym_name/3 (prog_util.m) and
	sym_name_to_string/{2,3} (prog_out.m).

	Replace many occurrences of `string' with `module_name'.
	Change code that prints out module names or converts
	them to strings or filenames to handle the fact that
	module names are now sym_names intead of strings.
	Also change a few places (e.g. in intermod.m, hlds_module.m)
	where the code assumed that any qualified symbol was
	fully-qualified.

compiler/prog_io.m:
compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
	Move sym_name_and_args/3, parse_qualified_term/4 and
	parse_qualified_term/5 preds from prog_io_goal.m to prog_io.m,
	since they are very similar to the parse_symbol_name/2 predicate
	already in prog_io.m.  Rewrite these predicates, both
	to improve maintainability, and to handle the newly
	allowed syntax (module-qualified module names).
	Rename parse_qualified_term/5 as `parse_implicit_qualified_term'.

compiler/prog_io.m:
	Rewrite the handling of `:- module' and `:- end_module'
	declarations, so that it can handle nested modules.
	Add code to parse `include_module' declarations.

compiler/prog_util.m:
compiler/*.m:
	Add new predicates mercury_public_builtin_module/1 and
	mercury_private_builtin_module/1 in prog_util.m.
	Change most of the hard-coded occurrences of "mercury_builtin"
	to call mercury_private_builtin_module/1 or
	mercury_public_builtin_module/1 or both.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Add llds_out__sym_name_mangle/2, for mangling module names.

compiler/special_pred.m:
compiler/mode_util.m:
compiler/clause_to_proc.m:
compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
compiler/lambda.m:
compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Move the predicates in_mode/1, out_mode/1, and uo_mode/1
	from special_pred.m to mode_util.m, and change various
	hard-coded definitions to instead call these predicates.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Ensure that the type names `type_info' and `typeclass_info' are
	module-qualified in the generated code.  This avoids a problem
	where the code generated by polymorphism.m was not considered
	type-correct, due to the type `type_info' not matching
	`mercury_builtin:type_info'.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	Simplify the code for check_instance_pred and
	get_matching_instance_pred_ids.

	Disallow directory names in command-line arguments.

compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/modules.m:
	Add a `--make-private-interface' option.
	The private interface file `<module>.int0' contains
	all the declarations in the module; it is used for
	compiling sub-modules.

scripts/Mmake.rules:
scripts/Mmake.vars.in:
	Add support for creating `.int0' and `.date0' files
	by invoking mmc with `--make-private-interface'.

	and `.date0' file extensions.

tests/general/string__format_test.exp:

	Change the `:- module string__format_test' declaration in
	`string__format_test.m' to `:- module string_format_test',
	because with the original declaration the `__' was taken
	as a module qualifier, which lead to an error message.
	Hence rename the file accordingly, to avoid the warning
	about file name not matching module name.

tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
tests/invalid/missing_interface_import.m:

Estimated hours taken: 500 or so

This change implements typeclasses. Included are the necessary changes to
the compiler, runtime and library.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Typecheck the constraints on a pred by adding constraints for each
	call to a pred/func with constraints, and eliminating constraints
	by applying context reduction.

	While reducing the constraints, keep track of the proofs so that
	polymorphism can produce the tyepclass_infos for eliminated
	constraints.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Perform the source-to-source transformation which turns code with
	typeclass constraints into code without constraints, but with extra
	"typeclass_info", or "dictionary" parameters.

	Also, rather than always having a type_info directly for each type
	variable, sometimes the type_info is hidden inside a typeclass_info.

compiler/bytecode*.m:
	Insert some code to abort if bytecode generation is used when
	typeclasses are used.
compiler/call_gen.m:
	Generate code for a class_method_call, which forms the body of a class
	method (by selecting the appropriate proc from the typeclass_info).
compiler/dead_proc_elim.m:
	Don't eliminate class methods if they are potentially used outside
	the module
compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Define data types to store:
		- the typeclass definitions
		- the instances of a class
		- "constraint_proof". ie. the proofs of redundancy of a
		  constraint. This info is used by polymorphism to construct the
		  typeclass_infos for a constraint.
		- the "base_tyepclass_info_constant", which is analagous the
		  the base_type_info_constant
compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Define the class_method_call goal. This goal is inserted into the
	body of class method procs, and is responsible for selecting the
	appropriate part of the typeclass_info to call.
compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add the class table and instance table to the module_info.
compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Output info about base_typeclass_infos and class_method_calls
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Change the representation of the locations of type_infos from "var"
	to type_info_locn, which is either a var, or part of a typeclass_info,
	since now the typeclass_infos contain the type_infos for the type that
	they constrain.

	Add constraints to the pred_info.

	Add constraint_proofs to the pred_info (so that typeclass.m can
	annotate the pred_info with the reasons that constraints were
	eliminated, so that polymorphism.m can in turn generate the
	typeclass_infos for the constraints).

	Add the "class_method" marker.

compiler/lambda.m:
	A feable attempt at adding class ontexts to lambda expressions,
	untested and almost certainly not working.
compiler/llds_out.m:
	Output the code addresses for do_*det_class_method, and output
	appropriately mangled symbol names for base_typeclass_infos.
compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Add constraints to the types on pred and func decls, and add
	class and instance declarations to the class_table and instance_table
	respectively.
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Add the check_typeclass pass.
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Output constraints of pred and funcs, and output typeclass and instance
	declarations.
compiler/module_qual.m:
	Module qualify typeclass names in pred class contexts, and qualify the
	typeclass and instance decls themselves.
compiler/modules.m:
	Output typeclass declarations in the short interface too.
compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add the "typeclass" and "instance" items. Define the types to store
	information about the declarations, including class contexts on pred
	and func decls.
compiler/prog_io.m:
	Parse constraints on pred and func declarations.
compiler/prod_out.m:
	Output class contexts on pred and func decls.
compiler/type_util.m:
	Add preds to apply a substitution to a class_constraint, and to
	a list of class constraints. Add type_list_matches_exactly/2. Also
	add typeclass_info and base_typeclass_info as types which should not
	be optimised as no_tag types (seeing that we cheat a bit about their
	representation).
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Add notes on module qualification of class contexts. Needs expansion
	to include more stuff on typeclasses.
compiler/*.m:
	Various minor changes.

New Files:
compiler/base_typeclass_info.m:
	Produce one base_typeclass_info for each instance declaration.
compiler/prog_io_typeclass.m:
	Parse typeclass and instance declarations.
compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	Check the conformance of an instance declaration to the typeclass
	declaration, including building up a proof of how superclass
	constraints are satisfied so that polymorphism.m is able to construct
	the typeclass_info, including the superclass typeclass_infos.

library/mercury_builtin.m:
	Implement that base_typeclass_info and typeclass_info types, as
	well as the predicates type_info_from_typeclass_info/3 to extract
	a type_info from a typeclass_info, and superclass_from_typeclass_info/3
	for extracting superclasses.
library/ops.m:
	Add "typeclass" and "instance" as operators.
library/string.m:
	Add a (in, uo) mode for string__length/3.

runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
	Implement do_call_*det_class_method, which are the pieces of code
	responsible for extracting the correct code address from the
	typeclass_info, setting up the arguments correctly, then executing
	the code.
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Macros for accessing the typeclass_info structure.

99184d3578 Implement support for types with user-defined equality predicates.
Estimated hours taken: 30

Implement support for types with user-defined equality predicates.

Types with user-defined equality predicates are called "non-canonical types";
they may have more than one representation for the same abstract value.
That means that any attempt to deconstruct a value of a non-canonical
type, i.e. any attempt to peek at the representation, must be cc_multi.

This also implies that conceptually speaking, non-canonical types are not
members of the type classes `comparable' (compare/3) or `deconstructible'
(index/2, argument/3, functor/3, deconstruct/5).  Since we don't support
type classes yet, that just means that the type-class checking is done
at runtime, i.e. any call to one of those functions for a non-canonical
type will call error/1 or fatal_error().

To make non-canonical types useful, we really need type classes,
so that the user can provide instance definitions for `comparable'
and `deconstructible' for such types.  It might also be a good idea
to have a type-class `canonicalizable' which provides a function
to convert its argument to some canonical type (that would
require existential types to do nicely, but alternatively we could
just use `univ').

Note that currently the only mechanism for promising that things are
unique is via the C interface.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Add code to check unifications that examine the
	representation of a type with a user-defined equality predicate.
	Any such unification must occur in a single-solution context and
	must not be able to fail.  Such unifications determinism have
	determinism cc_multi.

compiler/det_report.m:
	Add code to report errors for misuse of types with user-defined
	equality predicates.  (Also some other stylistic improvements:
	split up a complicated predicate into subroutines, and
	avoid some unnecessary code duplication.)

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add a new `maybe(sym_name)' field to the du_type/3 constructor
	to hold the name of the user-defined equality pred for the
	type, if any.

compiler/prog_io.m:
	Add code to parse the new `... where equality is <name>.' syntax.
	Delete the old support for `... where <condition>'.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
compiler/mercury_to_goedel.m:

compiler/typecheck.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Trivial changes to ignore (or leave unchanged)
	the new field in `du_type'.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
	Pass the term__context to unify_proc__request_unify.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Typecheck the compiler-generated unify predicates for types
	with user-defined equality preds.

compiler/unify_proc.m:
	For d.u. types, if the type has a user-defined equality predicate
	then generate code for the compiler-generated unify predicate
	that just calls the specified predicate, and generate
	code for the compiler-generated compare and index predicates
	that just calls some procedures in mercury_builtin.m that
	report appropriate error messages.
	Ensure that the automatically-generated predicates
	have appropriate term__contexts everywhere, so that if
	the user-defined equality predicate name is ambiguous,
	non-existent, or has the wrong type, mode, or determinism,
	then the error messages from type checking, mode checking,
	or determinism checking refer to the type declaration.

library/mercury_builtin.m:
	Add predicates builtin_index_non_canonical_type/2
	and builtin_compare_non_canonical_type/2, used by
	the code generated by compiler/unify_proc.m.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Document the support for user-defined equality predicates.

library/std_util.m:
	Change ML_expand() to return an indication of whether or not
	the type is a non-canonical type (one with a user-defined
	equality predicate).  Change argument/2, functor/2, and
	deconstruct/4 to abort if called for a non-canonical type.

Fix another bug triggered by compilation for accurate gc.

The compiler was not correctly handling the unbound type variables when

compiler/inlining.m:

	Update TypeVarSet and TypeInfoVarMap when inlining - unbound
	type variables can occur in the callee which need to be migrated
	to the caller when inlined.  Introduce new inline_info type, which
	stores information threaded through inling. This should make future
	changes to inlining much easier.

	substitution.

Bug fixes for module qualified cons_ids.

Improve the compilation time of modules with lots of user_defined insts.
(Compilation of tree234.m with the unique tree skeleton modes enabled is
still way too slow).

compiler/mode_util.m
	In propagate_type_info_into_modes and the predicates it calls, avoid
	finding the constructors for a type and substituting the argument
	types.

compiler/hlds_pred.m
	Add a new field to the proc_info, maybe_declared_argmodes which
	holds the declared arg_modes for use in .opt files and error messages.

compiler/typecheck.m
	Call propagate_type_info_into_modes from here to avoid calling it
	many times throughout mode analysis. This does not cause a
	substantial performance improvement, but reduces confusion
	over where everything should be module qualified.
	This also fixes a bug with the no_tag optimisation reported by
	Mark Brown. A runtime abort occurred because a constructor in a bound
	inst was not being module qualified which confused mode_to_arg_mode
	into giving the argument an arg_mode of top_unused.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m
	Call propagate_type_info_mode_list for modes of lambda predicates.

compiler/modes.m
compiler/modecheck_call.m
compiler/unique_modes.m
	Don't call propagate_type_info_mode_list since that has
	already been done in typecheck.m.

compiler/intermod.m
	Write out the declared arg_modes, since these don't contain
	constructs such $typed_inst which the parser doesn't handle.

compiler/clause_to_proc.m
compiler/unify_proc.m
	Fill in the declared_argmodes field in proc_infos.

bb2b816787 * Inter-module unused argument removal.
Estimated hours taken: 100

* Inter-module unused argument removal.

* Allow the user to specify which directories should be searched
for .opt files.

* Enhancements to simplify.m and common.m which will be useful for
partial deduction.

compiler/options.m
	Added and documented options:
	--intermod-unused-args to enable inter-module unused argument removal.
	--intermod-directory <dir>, same as --search-directory except used
		to locate .opt files.
	--use-search-directories-for-intermod - use the search directories
		for .opt files as well.
	--warn-simple-code - a flag to control the warnings produced by
		simplify.m so that they respect --inhibit-warnings.

compiler/unused_args.m
	Use the unused argument info from the .opt file.
	Clobber the dependency_info if any new preds were added.

compiler/hlds_module.m
	Added a field to the module_info to store unused argument
	information from .opt files.

compiler/prog_data.m
	Add :- pragma unused_args to hold unused argument information.
	This should only be used in .opt files.

compiler/make_hlds.m
	Build the unused_arg_info field in the module_info.
	Check that pragma unused_args only appears in .opt files.
	Fill in the non-locals field in the goal_info for the builtin
	stubs so that mode analysis computes the correct instmap delta.

compiler/intermod.m
	Read in the unused argument information for the current module when
	compiling to C. This is used to ensure that clauses are produced with
	the correct number of removed arguments (it may be possible to remove
	more arguments with the information from other modules).
	Fix a bug in the handling of module qualified function calls and
	higher-order predicate constants.

compiler/handle_options.m
	Handle --intermod-unused-args and
	--use-search-directories-for-intermod.

compiler/mercury_compile.m
	Run the entire front end and polymorphism (not just up to
	typechecking) when building the .opt file with
	--intermod-unused-args.
	Use the new interface to simplify.m, remove calls to excess.m
	and common.m.

compiler/code_util.m
compiler/llds_out.m
	When generating local code for a specialized version of a predicate
	from another module, put this module's name on the label to avoid
	link errors.

compiler/higher_order.m
	Don't add the originating module name to the name of the specialized
	version, since that is now done in code_util.m.
	Clobber the dependency graph so that inlining will work on the
	specialized versions in profiling grades (this will cause slightly
	slower compilation in profiling grades, something I need to fix).

compiler/simplify.m
	Merge a branching goal and an adjacent switch where the branches
	of the first goal contain extra information about the switched
	on variable of the second goal.
	Merge the excess assignments and common subexpression elimination
	passes into simplify.m.

compiler/excess.m
	The functionality of this module is now in simplify.m, but I'll
	leave it here for now.

compiler/instmap.m
	Added predicates instmap__bind_var_to_functor and
	instmap_delta_bind_var_functor to which take a var, cons_id
	and an instmap and adjust the inst of the var. This is used to
	update the instmap at the beginning of each case in a switch.
	Fix a bug in merge_instmap_delta where variables whose inst had
	information added in one branch of a switch, disj, or ite had that
	changed inst included in the instmap_delta for the entire
	branched goal.

compiler/mode_util.m
	Use instmap_delta_bind_var_to_functor in recompute_instmap_delta.
	Added predicate bind_inst_to_functor which takes a ground or bound
	inst and a cons_id and adjusts the top level of the inst to be bound
	to that cons_id. Other types of inst are left unchanged.
	Change recompute_instmap_delta so that the switched on variable of
	a switch is bound to the functor in each case even if the binding
	unification has been removed. Added a boolean argument to request
	recomputation of instmap_deltas for atomic goals.

compiler/modes.m
compiler/unique_modes.m
	Make sure that the instmap_delta for each branch of a switch
	includes the extra information added by the functor test.

compiler/common.m
	Removed the goal traversal. Leave preds to be called by simplify.m
	to optimise common unifications and calls.
	Warn about and eliminate multiple calls to a predicate with the same
	input arguments.
	Replace deconstructions of known terms with assignments to the output
	variables where this would not make more variables live at stack
	flushes.

compiler/follow_code.m
	Exported move_follow_code_select.
	Don't move follow code into erroneous branches.

library/string.nu.nl
	Added string__contains_char/2.

compiler/base_type_layout.m
compiler/special_pred.m
compiler/vn_order.m
library/mercury_builtin.m
	Removed duplicate calls.

doc/user_guide.texi
	Documented options.

tests/warnings/duplicate_call.m
tests/warnings/duplicate_call.exp
	Test duplicate call warning.

Estimated hours taken: 2

Fix for bug I introduced yesterday. type_to_type_id would generate
type_ids for functions of =/1 =/2 =/3 =/4 etc, with the arity of the
function. construct_types, given the same type_id and arguments back,
would not always generate the same type.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Use the arity of = (2), not the arity of the function,
	when computing higher order types.

Estimated hours taken: 3

Fix bug that caused higher-order functions to be ignored, thus creating
mercury_data___base_type_info_func_X references to non-existant
structures.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Fix a comment.
	Add type_id_is_higher_order/2.
	Change type_to_type_id/3 so that it correctly returns higher
	order arguments (particularly functions).
	Change construct_type/3 and construct_type/4 so they correctly
	create higher-order types (particularly functions).

compiler/equiv_type.m:
	Use construct_type instead of construct_qualified_term, so
	that we handle higher order arguments correctly.

Estimated hours taken: 50

Create base_type_layout structures, which store information about how
Mercury data is represented in memory.

compiler/base_type_layout.m:
    Generate base_gen_layouts from HLDS.
    Pass over base_gen_layouts after code generation, create layout
    tables, and pseudo-typeinfos as needed.

compiler/base_type_info.m, compiler/dead_proc_elim.m:
    Allow base_type_infos to be `neutered' rather than eliminated
    by dead_proc_elim. This just removes references to compiler
    generated preds, and replaces them with references to an
    'unused' pred in mercury_builtin, which prints an error
    message if ever used. (The base_type_infos are always needed,
    even if the generated preds aren't, because the layout tables
    refer to them).

compiler/hlds_module.m:
    Add marker for procs eliminated in base_type_infos.
    Add base_gen_layout structure, and access predicates to HLDS.

compiler/llds.m, compiler/llds_out.m, compiler/opt_debug.m:
    Add a base_type_layout data_name, for storing references to
    base_type_layouts. Add output code.

compiler/llds_common.m:
    Get llds_common to process c_data structures given to it.
    (We'll give it the base_type_layouts).

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
    Add a pass to generate and process the base_type_gens.
    Fix a newline in a ... done message.
    Let llds_common work on the base_type_layouts.

compiler/type_util.m:
    Add type_util__var, which returns the type variable of a type
    (if it is a variable at the top level).

622b165a69 Fix some bugs with the handling of partially instantiated
Estimated hours taken: 16

Fix some bugs with the handling of partially instantiated
variables which have `no_tag' types.

N.B.  This fix does not handle the case of passing a partially
instantiated variable of a no_tag type to polymorphic predicate.
However, polymorphic predicates with partially instantiated
modes are a bit of a dodgy case anyway.

mode_util.m:
	Change mode_to_arg_mode to handle `no_tag' types properly.

unify_gen.m:
	Change the code to handle `no_tag' types properly.

arg_info.m, bytecode_gen.m:
	Pass the type of the variable, not just its mode,
	to mode_to_arg_mode, since whether a variable
	is `top_in' or not may depend on the type.

live_vars.m, liveness.m, store_alloc.m, unify_gen.m:
	Use `mode_to_arg_mode(..., top_in)' rather than
	`mode_is_input(...)', since here we're concerned
	with the low-level concept of top_in/top_out
	rather than the higher-level notion of input/output.

modecheck_unify.m:
	In split_complicated_subunifies, `mode_to_arg_mode(..., top_in)'
	rather than `mode_is_input(...)', for same reason as above.
	(In other parts of mode analysis we're concerned with the higher-level
	notion, but split_complicated_subunifies is basically just there
	for the code generator.)

type_util.m, make_tags.m, shapes.m:
	Put the test for a `no_tag' type into a utility predicate
	type_is_not_tag_type in type_util.m.

make_hlds.m:
	Change the code for add_builtin so that it puts the correct
	type annotations in the pred_info.  (The previous code was
	wrong, but the problem didn't show up until the new code in the
	other parts of this change tried to use the var_types field of
	the pred_info.)
