bcf7dbf9f8 Add support for tabling.
Estimated hours taken: 250

Add support for tabling.

This change allows for model_det, model_semidet and model_non memoing,
minimal model and loop detection tabling.

compiler/base_type_layout.m:
	Update comments to reflect new runtime naming standard.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Allow tabling to change the result of det analysis. This is
	necessary in the case of minimal model tabling which can
	turn a det procedure into a semidet one.

compiler/det_report.m:
compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add code to report error messages for various non compatible
	tabling methods and determinism.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
compiler/modules.m:
	Remove reference to the old memo marker.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Create new type (eval_method) to define which of the available
	evaluation methods should be used each procedure.
	Add new field to the proc_info structure.
	Add several new predicates relating to the new eval_method type.

compiler/inlining.m:
compiler/intermod.m:
	Make sure only procedures with normal evaluation are inlined.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Add code to process new tabling pragmas.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Call the tabling transformation code.

compiler/modes.m:
	Make sure that all procedures with non normal evaluation have
	no unique/partially instantiated modes. Produce error messages
	if they do. Support for partially instantiated modes is currently
	missing as it represents a large amount of work for a case that
	is currently not used.

compiler/module_qual.m:
compile/prog_data.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Add three new pragma types:
		`memo'
		`loop_check'
		`minimal_model'
	and code to support them.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Don't report infinite recursion warning if a procedure has
	minimal model evaluation.

compiler/stratify.m:
	Change the stratification analyser so that it reports cases of
	definite non-stratification. Rather than reporting warnings for
	any code that is not definitely stratified.
	Remove reference to the old memo marker.

compiler/switch_detection.m:
	Fix a small bug where goal were being placed in reverse order.
	Call list__reverse on the list of goals.

compiler/table_gen.m:
	New module to do the actual tabling transformation.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Document addition of new tabling pass to the compiler.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Fix mistake in example.

library/mercury_builtin.m:
	Add many new predicates for support of tabling.

library/std_util.m:
library/store.m:
	Move the functions :
		ML_compare_type_info
		ML_collapse_equivalences
		ML_create_type_info
	to the runtime.

runtime/mercury_deep_copy.c:
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
runtime/mercury_type_info.c:
	Move the make_type_info function into the mercury_type_info module
	and make it public.

runtime/Mmakefile:
runtime/mercury_imp.h:
	Add references to new files added for tabling support.

runtime/mercury_string.h:
	Change hash macro so it does not cause a name clash with any
	variable called "hash".

runtime/mercury_type_info.c:
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Add three new functions taken from the library :
		MR_compare_type_info
		MR_collapse_equivalences
		MR_create_type_info.

runtime/mercury_table_any.c:
runtime/mercury_table_any.h:
runtime/mercury_table_enum.c:
runtime/mercury_table_enum.h:
runtime/mercury_table_int_float_string.c:
runtime/mercury_table_int_float_string.h:
runtime/mercury_table_type_info.c:

5e86fb5715 Fix some bugs in the handling of "non-simple" type class constraints
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.

Estimated hours taken: 1.5

Miscellaneous small changes.

compiler/modes.m:
	Fix a couple of mode errors which were caught by the new mode
	checker: use of clobbered mode_infos.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Optimise away unifications of the form X = X.  (These can be
	created by excess assignment elimination.)

compiler/follow_vars.m:
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
compiler/inst_match.m:
compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/store_alloc.m:
	Minor documentation fixes.

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

compiler/*.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.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/modules.m:
	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'.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document `--make-private-interface' and the `.int0'
	and `.date0' file extensions.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Document nested modules.

util/mdemangle.c:
profiler/demangle.m:
	Demangle names with multiple module qualifiers.

tests/general/Mmakefile:
tests/general/string_format_test.m:
tests/general/string_format_test.exp:
tests/general/string__format_test.m:
tests/general/string__format_test.exp:
tests/general/.cvsignore:
	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:
tests/invalid/missing_interface_import.err_exp:
	Regression test to check that the compiler reports
	errors for missing `import_module' in the interface section.

tests/invalid/*.err_exp:
tests/warnings/unused_args_test.exp:
tests/warnings/unused_import.exp:
	Update the expected diagnostics output for the test cases to
	reflect a few minor changes to the warning messages.

5013dd9c76 Implement nondet pragma C codes.
Estimated hours taken: 40

Implement nondet pragma C codes.

runtime/mercury_stacks.h:
	Define a new macro, mkpragmaframe, for use in the implementation
	of nondet pragma C codes. This new macro includes space for a
	struct with a given sruct tag in the nondet stack frame being created.

compiler/{prog_data.m,hlds_goal.m}:
	Revise the representation of pragma C codes, both as the item and
	in the HLDS.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Parse nondet pragma C declarations.

	Fix the indentation in some places.

compiler/llds.m:
	Include an extra argument in mkframe instructions. This extra argument
	gives the details of the C structure (if any) to be included in the
	nondet stack frame to be created.

	Generalize the LLDS representation of pragma C codes. Instead of a
	fixed sequence of <assign from inputs, user c code, assign to outputs>,
	let the sequence contain these elements, as well as arbitrary
	compiler-generated C code, in any order and possibly with repetitions.
	This flexibility is needed for nondet pragma C codes.

	Add a field to pragma C codes to say whether they can call Mercury.
	Some optimizations can do a better job if they know that a pragma C
	code cannot call Mercury.

	Add another field to pragma C codes to give the name of the label
	they refer to (if any). This is needed to prevent labelopt from
	incorrectly optimizing away the label definition.

	Add a new alternative to the type pragma_c_decl, to describe the
	declaration of the local variable that points to the save struct.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Output mkframe instructions that specify a struct as invoking the new
	mkpragmaframe macro, and make sure that the struct is declared just
	before the procedure that uses it.

	Other minor changes to keep up with the changes to the representation
	of pragma C code in the LLDS, and to make the output look a bit nicer.

compiler/pragma_c_gen.m:
	Add code to generate code for nondet pragma C codes. Revise the utility
	predicates and their data structures a bit to make this possible.

compiler/code_gen.m:
	Add code for the necessary special handling of prologs and epilogs
	of procedures defined by nondet pragma C codes. The prologs need
	to be modified to include a programmer-defined C structure in the
	nondet stack frame and to communicate the location of this structure
	to the pragma C code, whereas the functionality of the epilog is
	taken care of by the pragma C code itself.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	When creating a proc_info for a procedure defined by a pragma C code,
	we used to insert unifications between the headvars and the vars of
	the pragma C code into the body goal. We now perform substitutions
	instead. This removes a factor that would complicate the generation
	of code for nondet pragma C codes.

	Pass a moduleinfo down the procedures that warn about singletons
	(and other basic scope errors). When checking whether to warn about
	an argument of a pragma C code not being mentioned in the C code
	fragment, we need to know whether the argument is input or output,
	since input variables should appear in some code fragments in a
	nondet pragma C code and must not appear in others. The
	mode_is_{in,out}put checks need the moduleinfo.

	(We do not need to check for any variables being mentioned where
	they shouldn't be. The C compiler will fail in the presence of any
	errors of that type, and since those variables could be referred
	to via macros whose definitions we do not see, we couldn't implement
	a reliable test anyway.)

compiler/opt_util.m:
	Recognize that some sorts of pragma_c codes cannot affect the data
	structures that control backtracking. This allows peepholing to
	do a better job on code sequences produced for nondet pragma C codes.

	Recognize that the C code strings inside some pragma_c codes refer to
	other labels in the procedure. This prevents labelopt from incorrectly
	optimizing away these labels.

compiler/dupelim.m:
	If a label is referred to from within a C code string, then do not
	attempt to optimize it away.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Remove a now incorrect part of an error message.

compiler/*.m:
	Minor changes to conform to changes to the HLDS and LLDS data
	structures.

Estimated hours taken: 20

Add support for `pragma import', which is a simplified form of
`pragma c_code'.  With `pragma import', the user specifies only
the C function name, rather than a C code fragment, and the
Mercury compiler handles the argument-passing automatically.

TODO
- add documentation to doc/reference_manual.texi.

WISHLIST
- change `pragma import' and `pragma export'
  to take an additional parameter indicating the language
  (e.g. C, Prolog, Ada, Fortran, etc.) and/or calling
  convention

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add `pragma import' to the parse tree data structure.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Add code to parse `pragma import' declarations.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Add code to pretty-print `pragma import' declarations.

compiler/module_qual.m:
	Add code to module-qualify `pragma import' declarations.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Add code to process `pragma import' declarations,
	by converting them to clauses with HLDS `c_code' instructions.

compiler/export.m:
	Declare `export__exclude_argument_type' in the interface,
	for use by the code for handling `pragma import' in make_hlds.m.
	Change the documentation to say that this procedure is used for
	both exported and imported procedures.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Document how the compiler handles `pragma import' declarations.

tests/hard_coded/Mmakefile:
tests/hard_coded/pragma_import.m:

b4813457c9 A rewrite of termination analysis to make it significantly easier to modify,
Estimated hours taken: 60

A rewrite of termination analysis to make it significantly easier to modify,
and to extend its capabilities.

compiler/error_util.m:
	A new file containing code that makes it easier to generate
	nicely formatted error messages.

compiler/termination.m:
	Updates to reflect the changes to the representation of termination
	information.

	Instead of doing pass 1 on all SCCs and then pass 2 on all SCCs,
	we now do both pass 1 and 2 on an SCC before moving on to the next.

	Do not insist that either all procedures in an SCC are
	compiler-generated or all are user-written, since this need not be
	true in the presence of user-defined equality predicates.

	Clarify the structure of the code that handles builtins and compiler
	generated predicates.

	Concentrate all the code for updating module_infos in this module.
	Previously it was scattered in several places in several files.

	Put all the code for writing out termination information at the
	end of the module in a logical order.

compiler/term_traversal.m:
	A new file containing code used by both pass 1 and pass 2 to
	traverse procedure bodies.

compiler/term_pass1.m:
	Use the new traversal module.

	Clarify the fixpoint computation on the set of output supplier
	arguments.

	Remove duplicates from the list of equations given to the solver.
	This avoids a det stack overflow in lp.m when doing termination
	analysis on options.m.

	If an output argument of a predicate makes sense only in the absence
	of errors, then return it only in the absence of errors.

compiler/term_pass2.m:
	Use the new traversal module. Unlike the previous code, this allows us
	to ignore recursive calls with input arguments bigger than the head
	if those calls occur after goals that cannot succeed (since those
	calls will never be reached).

	Implement a better way of doing single argument analysis, which
	(unlike the previous version) works in the presence of mutual recursion
	and other calls between the recursive call and the start of the clause.

	Implement a more precise way of checking for recursions that don't
	cause termination problems. We now allow calls from p to q in which
	the recursive input supplier arguments can grow, provided that on
	any path on which q can call p, directly or indirectly, the recursive
	input supplier arguments shrink by a greater amount.

	If an output argument of a predicate makes sense only in the absence
	of errors, then return it only in the absence of errors.

compiler/term_util.m:
	Updates to reflect the changes to the representation of termination
	information.

	Reorder to put related code together.

	Change the interface of several predicates to better reflect the
	way they are used.

	Add some more utility predicates.

compiler/term_errors.m:
	Small changes to the set of possible errors, and major changes in
	the way the messages are printed out (we now use error_util).

compiler/options.m:
	Change --term-single-arg from being a bool to an int option,
	whose value indicates the maximum size of an SCC in which we try
	single argument analysis. (Large SCCs can cause single-arg analysis
	to require a lot of iterations.)

	Add an (int) option that controls the max number of paths
	that we are willing to analyze (analyzing too many paths can cause
	det stack overflow).

	Add an (int) option that controls the max number of causes of
	nontermination that we print out.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Use two separate slots in the proc_info to hold argument size data
	and termination info, instead of the single slot used until now.
	The two kinds of information are produced and used separately.

	Make the layout of the get and set procedures for proc_infos more
	regular, to facilitate later updates.

	The procedures proc_info_{,set_}variables did the same work as
	proc_info_{,set_}varset. To eliminate potential confusion, I
	removed the first set.

compiler/*.m:
	Change proc_info_{,set_}variables to proc_info_{,set_}varset.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Change the code to handle the arg size data and the termination
	info separately.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Change the internal representation of termination_info pragmas to
	hold the arg size data and the termination info separately.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Change the external representation of termination_info pragmas to
	group the arg size data together with the output supplier data,
	to which it is logically connected.

compiler/module_qual.m:
compiler/modules.m:
	Change the code to accommodate the change to the internal
	representation of termination_info pragmas.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Fix some documentation rot, and clarify some points.

	Document termination analysis.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document --term-single-arg and the new options.

	Remove spaces from the ends of lines.

library/bag.m:
	Add a new predicate, bag__least_upper_bound.

	Fix code that would do the wrong thing if executed by Prolog.

	Remove spaces from the ends of lines.

library/list.m:
	Add a new predicate, list__take_upto.

library/set{,_ordlist}.m:
	Add a new predicate, set{,_ordlist}__count.

tests/term/*:
	A bunch of new test cases to test the behaviour of termination
	analysis. They are the small benchmark suite from our paper.

tests/Mmakefile:
	Enable the new test case directory.

7406335105 This change implements typeclasses. Included are the necessary changes to
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.

bf824facde Make Mercury cope with impure code
The purpose of this diff is to allow Mercury programs to contain
impure Mercury code without the compiler changing its behavior
inappropriately, while still allowing the compiler to aggressively
optimize pure code.  To do this, we require impure predicates to be so
declared, and calls to impure predicates to be flagged as such.  We
also allow predicates implemented in terms of impure predicates to be
promised to be pure; lacking such a promise, any predicate that calls
an impure predicate is assumed to be impure.

At the moment, we don't allow impure functions (only predicates),
though some of the work necessary to support them has been done.

Note that to make the operators work properly, the precedence of the
`pred' and `func' operators has been changed from 1199 to 800.

Estimated hours taken: 150

compiler/purity.m:
	New compiler pass for purity checking.
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add `impure' and `semipure' to the goal_feature enum.
compiler/hlds_out.m:
compiler/typecheck.m:
compiler/special_pred.m:
	Fixed code that prints predicate name to write something more
	helpful for special (compiler-generated) predicates.  Added
	code to print new markers.  Added purity argument to
	mercury_output_pred_type.  New public predicate
	special_pred_description/2 provides an english description for
	each compiler-generated predicate.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add `impure' and `semipure' to marker enum.  Added new
	public predicates to get predicate purity and whether or not
	it's promised to be pure.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Add purity checking pass between type and mode checking.
compiler/mode_errors.m:
	Distinguish mode errors caused by impure goals preventing
	goals being delayed.
compiler/modes.m:
	Don't delay impure goals, and ensure before scheduling an
	impure goal that no goals are delayed.  Actually, we go ahead
	and try to schedule goals even if impurity causes a problem,
	and then if it still doesn't mode check, then we report an
	ordinary mode error.  Only if the clause would be mode correct
	except for an impure goal do we report it as an impurity problem.
compiler/simplify.m:
	Don't optimize away non-pure duplicate calls.  We could do
	better and still optimize duplicate semipure goals without an
	intervening impure goal, but it's probably not worth the
	trouble.  Also don't eliminate impure goals on a failing branch.

f9ad85698a Add termination analysis to the compiler. The termination analysis
Estimated hours taken: 500

Add termination analysis to the compiler. The termination analysis
annotates each procinfo structure with termination information stating
whether each procedure is guaranteed to terminate.
Add transitive intermodule optimization to the compiler. Transitive
intermodule optimization uses .trans_opt files to store optimization
information.  The difference between .trans_opt files and .opt files is
that .trans_opt files may depend on other .trans_opt files, whereas .opt
files may only depend on a .m file.

compiler/termination.m:
	New file.  The main module which controls the termination
	analysis.
compiler/term_pass1.m:
	New file.  This file implements the first pass of the
	termination analysis which attempts to derive relationships
	between the relative sizes of variables.  This information is
	used by term_pass2.m
compiler/term_pass2.m:
	New file.  The second pass of the termination analysis attempts
	to prove that each predicate or function in the program is
	guaranteed to terminate.
compiler/term_util.m:
	New file.  Contains utilities which are used in various stages
	of the termination analysis.
compiler/term_errors.m:
	New file.  Contains predicates for printing out error messages
	produced by termination analysis.
compiler/trans_opt.m:
	New file.  This module contains predicates for both reading in
	and writing .trans_opt files.
compiler/globals.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
compiler/options.m:
	Various modifications to handle the new options.  Some of the
	new options imply other options, and the `--termination-norm'
	option is a string option which needs processing.
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Added a comment that the list(uni_mode) subfield of construct,
	and the unify_mode subfield of unify are not necessarily valid
	when the unification applies to higher order terms.
compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Added code to output termination information, as well as code to
	print out the new markers.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Added the termination subfield to the proc_info structure and
	added code to support it.  Also added support for the new
	markers.
compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
compiler/module_qual.m:
compiler/modules.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Added support for the new pragmas, `termination_info',
	`teminates', `check_termination' and `does_not_terminate'.
compiler/prog_data.m:
	Added the new pragmas to the pragma_type.  Also reformatted the
	type declarations to conform with the coding specifications.
compiler/prog_io.m:
	Reformatted some code and comments.
compiler/mercury_compiler.m:
	Added code to call the termination analyser and to call the
	predicate which creates .trans_opt files.
doc/reference_manual.texi:

Estimated hours taken: 6

Fix a bug where the compiler reported an internal error `unify_inst failed'
for certain ill-moded calls involving `any' insts.

compiler/inst_util.m:
	Add code in abstractly_unify_inst to handle some more cases
	of `any' that previously we didn't allow; specifically, the case
	of unifying a `bound' or `ground' inst with `any'.
	The new cases are allowed only in the `fake_unify' case, not in
	the `real_unify' case, because code generation doesn't yet
	support these cases.

	Also fix a couple of unrelated bugs in abstractly_unify_inst
	where the `live' case was passing `dead' rather than `live'
	to unify_uniq.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add a new compiler-generated inst name `any_inst', similar to
	`ground_inst', but for insts resulting from unification with
	`any' rather than unification with `ground'.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Any a new `any_inst' table, similar to the `ground_inst' table.

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/typecheck.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:

	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.

9b7f11c6dd Reorganisation of modules to do with the inst data type.
Estimated hours taken: 20

Reorganisation of modules to do with the inst data type.

This is actually the first installment of the alias tracking mode
checker in disguise.  A very good disguise.  The rationale for
this reorganisation is to reduce coupling in the part of the mode
checker which is _not_ in this change (ie most of it).

Alias tracking requires a new kind of inst, alias(inst_key), where
an inst_key is a handle on some other sub-inst.  With it goes a
data structure in which to store dereferenced insts and all the
operations which go with it.  This code will go in the new module
inst.m so that it doesn't have to go in prog_data.m.  (I briefly
considered putting it in instmap.m however this introduces some
bad coupling since instmap.m imports hlds_module.m.  Putting it
in prog_data.m would cause hlds_*.m to depend on prog_data.m,
but we have designed things so that the dependencies go in the
other direction.)

The remainder of the reorganisation is a general cleanup: the
inst testing predicates (inst_is_*) have been moved out of
mode_util because they are not actually operations on modes at
all, and have been moved into inst_match.  inst_match has then
been split because otherwise it would be 2000 lines long and
will get significantly bigger when aliasing is added.  Roughly
speaking, any operations which create new insts from old ones
have been moved into a new module, inst_util while any operations
which test the values of insts remain in inst_match.

Also included are the removal of some NU-Prologisms since the
NU-Prolog version of the compiler is no longer supported.  Two
changes here:

	- Removal of some when declarations.
	- A gross hack in inst_is_*_2, where two copies of
	  the same inst were passed into the predicate so that
	  one could be switched on.  Thank NU-Prolog's lack of
	  common subexpression elimination.

compiler/inst.m:
	New module which contains the data types inst, uniqueness,
	pred_inst_info, bound_inst.

compiler/inst_util.m:
	New module which contains predicates which perform mode
	checking-like operations on insts.

	Moved in:
		abstractly_unify_inst, abstractly_unify_inst_functor,
		inst_merge, make_mostly_uniq_inst (from inst_match.m)

compiler/inst_match.m:
	Moved out:
		inst_merge, make_mostly_uniq_inst,
		abstractly_unify_inst, abstractly_unify_inst_functor
			(to inst_util.m)

	Moved in:
		inst_is_*, inst_list_is_*, bound_inst_list_is_*
			(from mode_util.m)

	Now exported:
		unique_matches_initial/2, unique_matches_final/2
		inst_contains_instname/3, pred_inst_matches/3
		(They are required by inst_util.m, and they are
		useful in their own right.)

compiler/instmap.m:
	instmap_delta_lookup_var/3 reincarnated as
	instmap_delta_search_var/3.  The reason for this change is
	that previously, instmap_delta_lookup_var simply returned
	`free' if the searched-for var did not occur in the
	instmap_delta.  This is somewhat non-obvious behaviour.
	instmap_delta_search_var/3 fails in such a situation.

compiler/mode_util.m:
	Moved out:
		inst_is_*, inst_list_is_*, bound_inst_list_is_*
			(to inst_match.m)
		(These are not really operations on modes.)

compiler/modecheck_call.m:
	Moved in modecheck_higher_order_func_call/5, from modecheck_unify.m

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
	Moved out modecheck_higher_order_func_call/5, to modecheck_call.m
	where it should have been all along.

Estimated hours taken: 14

Implemented a :- use_module directive. This is the same as
:- import_module, except all uses of the imported items
must be explicitly module qualified.

:- use_module is implemented by ensuring that unqualified versions
of items only get added to the HLDS symbol tables if they were imported
using import_module.

Indirectly imported items (from `.int2' files) and items declared in `.opt'
files are treated as if they were imported with use_module, since all uses
of them should be module qualified.

compiler/module_qual.m
	Keep two sets of type, mode and inst ids, those which can
	be used without qualifiers and those which can't.

	Renamed some predicates which no longer have unique names since
	'__' became a synonym for ':'.

	Made mq_info_set_module_used check whether the current item is in
	the interface, rather than relying on its caller to do the check.

	Removed init_mq_info_module, since make_hlds.m now uses the
	mq_info built during the module qualification pass.

compiler/prog_data.m
	Added a pseudo-declaration `used', same as `imported' except uses of
	the following items must be module qualified.

	Added a type need_qualifier to describe whether uses of an item
	need to be module qualified.

compiler/make_hlds.m
	Keep with the import_status whether current item was imported
	using a :- use_module directive.

	Use the mq_info structure passed in instead of building a new one.

	Ensure unqualified versions of constructors only get added to the
	cons_table if they can be used without qualification.

compiler/hlds_module.m
	Added an extra argument to predicate_table_insert of type
	need_qualifier.

	Only add predicates to the name and name-arity indices if they
	can be used without qualifiers.

	Changed the structure of the module-name-arity index, so that
	lookups can be made without an arity, such as when type-checking
	module qualified higher-order predicate constants. This does not
	change the interface to the module_name_arity index.

	Factored out some common code in predicate_table_insert which
	applies to both predicates and functions.

compiler/hlds_pred.m
	Removed the opt_decl import_status. It isn't needed any more
	since all uses of items declared in .opt files must now be
	module qualified.

	Added some documentation about when the clauses_info is valid.

compiler/intermod.m
	Ensure that predicate and function calls in the `.opt' file are
	module qualified. Use use_module instead of import_module in
	`.opt' files.

compiler/modules.m
	Handle use_module directives.

	Report a warning if both use_module and import_module declarations
	exist for the same module.

compiler/mercury_compile.m
	Collect inter-module optimization information before module
	qualification, since it can't cause conflicts any more. This means
	that the mq_info structure built in module_qual.m can be reused in
	make_hlds.m, instead of building a new one.

compiler/prog_out.m
	Add a predicate prog_out__write_module_list, which was moved
	here from module_qual.m.

compiler/typecheck.m
	Removed code to check that predicates declared in `.opt' files
	were being used appropriately, since this is now handled by
	use_module.

compiler/*.m
	Added missing imports, mostly for prog_data and term.

91c4330db7 The first half of a change to introduce nondet pragma C goals.
Estimated hours taken: 12

The first half of a change to introduce nondet pragma C goals.
This half makes the necessary modifications to the HLDS; the next
half will modify the LLDS and emit it.

prog_data:
	Add a new pragma type for nondet pragma c_codes; these specify
	the names of a a bunch of variables to save across backtracking,
	and a list of label names to which backtracking may take place.

	Rename is_recursive to may_call_mercury, since this is a more
	direct expression of the meaning.

prog_io:
	Move much of the functionality to new files.

prog_io_dcg, prog_io_goal, prog_io_pragma, prog_io_util:
	New files, made up of pieces of prog_io.

hlds_goal:
	Add an extra argument to the pragma_c_goals to store the extra
	information present in the new type of pragma c_codes.

det_analysis:
	Take into account that the new type of pragma_c goal may have
	more than one solution.

goal_util:
	Rename variables in the new field of pragma_cs.

live_vars:
	Allocate stack slots to the saved variables in the new type of pragma_c
	goals.

make_hlds:
	Handle the new type of pragma_c goals.

mercury_output, hlds_out:
	Output the new type of pragma_c goals.

garbage_out:
	Rename type "det" to "frame_type".

others:
	Ignore one more arg of pragma_c goals or import prog_io_util.

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: 4

Allow `pragma export' for semidet predicates and for det/semidet functions.
(Previously it only worked for det predicates.)

prog_data.m:
	Add a pred_or_func field to the pragma_export struct.

prog_io.m:
	Add code to parse `pragma export' declarations for functions,
	e.g. `pragma export(foo(in) = out, "foo")'.

mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Add code to print out `pragma export' declarations for functions.

module_qual.m:
	Change export/3 to export/4.

export.m:
	Handle semidet procedures -- the C function returns TRUE/FALSE
	depending on whether the Mercury procedure succeeded or failed.

	Handle functions -- for det functions whose return value has
	mode `out', the Mercury function return value is returned as the C
	function return value.

	Don't call save_registers() after returning from call_engine(),
	since call_engine() now saves them itself.

	When generating header files, don't make up argument names
	for the function prototypes, instead just leave the arguments
	unnamed.  Also, make sure the `#ifndef HEADER_NAME_H' comes
	at the very start of the file, before #include "imp.h".

Estimated hours taken: 80

Added code to various sections of the compiler to parse
`pragma fact_table' declarations and add them to the HLDS.

Added output of fact_table dependencies to .d and .dep files.

Added a new module fact_table.m for parsing the actual fact tables and
generating code.  This is not finished yet.

Added ability to have `pragma c_code' declarations for Mercury
functions.

Modified Files:
   compiler/hlds_module.m
	Added predicate `module_info_set_pred_info' to add a `pred_info'
	entry to `module_info' given a `pred_id'.

   compiler/make_hlds.m
	Added code to handle new `pragma fact_table' declarations.
	New predicate `module_add_pragma_fact_table' which calls the
	fact compiler in fact_table.m to compile the fact table and
	generate C code to access it.  Then add the C code to the HLDS
	as a `pragma c_code'.

	Mercury functions can now have `pragma c_code' declarations.

   compiler/intermod.m
   	Included PredOrFunc argument in call to mercury_output_pragma_c_code.

   compiler/mercury_compile.m
	Added parameters to some predicates to allow fact table
	dependency information to be passed around.

   compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m
   	Handle output of `pragma fact_table' declarations.
	Handle output of `pragma c_code' declarations for functions.

   compiler/module_qual.m
   	Handle module qualification of `pragma fact_table'
	declarations.

   compiler/modules.m
   	New predicate `get_fact_table_dependencies' to work out which
	fact tables a module depends on.
	Changes to `write_dependency_file' to write out fact table
	dependencies.
	Changes to some other predicates to allow fact table
	dependencies to be passed around the module.

   compiler/prog_data.m
   	Added new functor `fact_table(sym_name, arity, string)'
	to the `pragma_type' type.
	Added a `pred_or_func' field to the `c_code' functor of the
	`pragma_type' type.

   compiler/prog_io.m
   	Added code to `parse_pragma_type' to parse `:- pragma fact_table'.
	Here is a sample declaration.  The facts are in a file called
	"factfile":

	:- pred facts(string, int, float).
	:- mode facts(out, out, out) is multidet.
	:- pragma fact_table(facts/3, "factfile").

	Mercury functions can now have `pragma c_code' declarations.
	Here is a sample declaration:

	:- func c_add(int, int) = int.
	:- pragma c_code(non_recursive, c_add(A::in, B::in) = (C::out), "
		C = A + B;
		").


Added Files:
   compiler/fact_table.m
   	Module not yet finished, but it compiles correctly and doesn't
	interfere with the rest of the compiler.

	Main purposes of the module are to parse the fact table
	file, perform type, mode and determinism checks and generate C
	code for the fact table.

	Completed so far:  parsing, type and mode checking,
	determinism inference.  A C array is output to represent the
	table, but no functions are produced yet to access it.

Estimated hours taken: 12

The main changes are

1	associating a name with the arguments of constructors

2	removing the follow_vars field from calls, higher-order calls
	and complicated unifications, since they are not used

3	merging the follow_vars and store_alloc passes, since they logically
	belong together

4	add a new module, lco, for detecting opportunities for last
	call optimization modulo constructor application; it won't
	actually apply the optimization until the mode system becomes
	expressive enough to handle it (this module detects 529 opportunities
	in the compiler and library)

5	make "-O3 --optimize-value-number" do the right thing; previously,
	it used not to apply value numbering because the vnrepeat option
	defaulted to zero

6	don't refer to .err2 files anymore; use .err instead.

prog_data:
	The list associated with each value of type "constructor" now
	contains not only the types of the arguments but their names as well.

equiv_type, hlds_data, hlds_out, make_hlds, mercury_to_{goedel,mercury},
mode_util, module_qual, shapes, type_util, unify_proc:
	Modify the traversal of type definitions to account for the names
	in the lists inside values of type "constructor".

prog_io:
	Parse argument names. An unrelated change is that we now
	check whether :- pred declarations give modes to some of their
	arguments but not to all, in which case we return an error.

hlds_goal:
	Remove the follow_vars field from calls, higher-order calls
	and complicated unifications.

*.m:
	Handle the new arities of calls, higher order calls and complicated
	unifications.

mercury_compile:
	Don't call follow_vars directly anymore, but do call lco if its option
	is set. Also flush the main output before a call to maybe_report_stats
	to prevent ugly output.

store_alloc:
	Call follow_vars directly.

follow_vars:
	Expose the initialization and traversal predicates for store_alloc.

lco:
	Find opportunities for last call optimization modulo constructor
	application.

passes_aux:
	Add a HLDS traversal type for lco.

optimize:
	Consider the vnrepeat count to be zero unless value numbering is on.

options:
	Set the default value of vnrepeat to 1.

modules:
	Don't refer to .err2 files.

5d3fc10571 - Inter-module optimization.
Estimated hours taken: 50

- Inter-module optimization.
Allows inlining and higher-order specialization across module boundaries.
Gives ~10% speed-up on the compiler compiling to C.

- The code to handle explicit type qualification.
The test to recognise a type qualification is semidet_fail'ed
until we work out which operator to use.

- Improved data structures in module_qual.m.
Also, module qualification of the modes of lambda expressions is now
done in make_hlds.m, since it is more convenient now that type
qualifications are module qualified there also.

* Type qualification and module qualifiers on higher-order predicate
constants and function calls still need to be implemented before this
will work on all programs.

* To create a version of a program using this optimization method,
add --intermodule-optimization to MCFLAGS, mmake change_clean,
mmake depend, then make as normal.

* mmake change_clean removes the executable, the .dep file and all
.cs and .os.

compiler/intermod.m
	Handle input and output of .opt files.

compiler/modules.m
	Added some new dependencies in the .d files for
	the .c and .opt files if inter-module optimization
	is being used.
	Also added .opt and .optdate to the list of things for
	mmake realclean to remove.
	Added a target, change_clean, which removes only those files
	necessary to force a rebuild using --intermodule-optimization.
	These are <module>, <module>.dep and all the .c, .o and .s files.

compiler/options.m
	Added options:
		--make-optimization-interface - make the .opt file.
		--intermodule-optimization - puts extra dependencies
			into .d files and turns on input of .opt files.

compiler/make_hlds.m
	Changes to give items from .opt files the correct import_status.
	Also, when matching pragma_c_code clauses to the declared modes
	of the predicates, expand and match on the initial and final insts
	of the argument modes, not the modes themselves, since items in
	.opt files have the modes expanded.
	Module qualify the modes of lambda expressions in unravel_unification
	rather than during mode analysis.
	Parse explicit type qualifications, and add these to the vartypes.
	At the moment this is disabled.

compiler/typecheck.m
	Get the head type params from the tvarset, not from the arg types,
	so that tvars in type qualifications are included.
	Added checks to prevent matching of predicates, functions and
	constructors which should not be visible to a clause.

compiler/module_qual.m
	Module qualify explicit type qualifications.
	More efficient data structures.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m
	Export some predicates. Make sure C code strings are properly
	quoted in the .opt files.

compiler/hlds_out.m
	Output function calls correctly. Alter hlds_out__write_goal to write
	out type qualifications on all functors if writing a .opt file.

compiler/hlds_pred.m
	Added a new import_status opt_imported for clauses and declarations
	read from a .opt file. Pred and func declarations read from a .opt
	file get an `opt_decl' import_status so that the compiler doesn't
	expect clauses for them and local preds can't use them.
	Also added import_status abstract_imported and abstract_exported
	to describe types which have only an abstract definition imported
	or exported.
	Added a field to clauses_info to store the map(var, type) from
	explicit type qualifications.
	Renamed pred_info_set_status/3 to pred_info_set_import_status/3 to
	be consistent with pred_info_import_status/2.

compiler/hlds_data.m
	Added an import_status field to the hlds__mode_defn and
	hlds__inst_defn so that intermod.m knows what has already
	been exported.

compiler/equiv_type.m
	Pass out the equiv_map and export a predicate used to
	expand type qualifications.

compiler/dead_proc_elim.m
	Remove non-optimized versions of opt_imported preds. All
	optimizations must give the optimized version an import_status
	of local.

compiler/code_util.m
	Changed code_util__make_local_entry_label so that `localcall's
	are used for recursive calls in exported predicates.

compiler/code_aux.m
	Changed code_aux__contains_only_builtins_2 so that it doesn't
	check for complicated unifies, since any time this is called,
	complicated unifies have either not been created (when called
	when writing the .opt files) or have been converted to calls
	(when called during inlining).

compiler/higher_order.m
	Make sure that the specialized versions get unique names.

compiler/mercury_compile.pp
	Add calls to intermod.m predicates.

compiler/bytecode_gen.m
	Bracketed some '->'/2 insts so that they can be parsed by SICStus.

compiler/peephole.m
	Replace computed_gotos where all the targets are the same with
	an unconditional goto.

compiler/notes/COMPILER_DESIGN
	Documented intermod.m.

library/list.m
	Added list__all_same/1, which is true if all elements of a list are
	identical. Also added list__last/2, which returns the final element
	of a list, failing on the empty list.

library/io.m
	Change the format specifier for io__write_float so that the decimal
	point is always output. Without this, the result may not be a valid
	Mercury floating point constant.

library/varset.m
	Add predicate varset__create_name_var_map/2 to create a mapping
	from variable name to variable id given a varset. This is used
	in processing type qualifications.

scripts/Mmake.rules
scripts/Mmake.vars.in
	Add suffixes, rules and options for .opt and .optdate.

scripts/mercury_update_interface.in
	Work-around for a problem with parallel gmake. mc --make-interface
	was being run twice in a row on the same module. The first call
	mercury_update_interface moves module.int.tmp to module.int,
	then the second can't find module.int.tmp. The work-around is to
	ignore the exit status of the mv.

Some cleaning up:

compiler/*.m
	Fixed some out of date comments about the handling of
	complicated_unify. Also commented some dead code to do
	with generation of code for complicated_unify.

compiler/modes.m
compiler/mode_info.m
	Moved code to module qualify modes of lambda expressions into
	make_hlds.
	Moved predicates resolve_pred_overloading and find_matching_pred_id
	into typecheck, renaming with a typecheck__ prefix, so that these
	can be called from intermod.m.

compiler/undef_modes.m
compiler/undef_types.m
	Removed - their functionality is now in module_qual.m, except
	for checking for looping equivalence types.

compiler/no_builtin.m
compiler/nit_builtin.m
	Removed - they were made useless (if they weren't already) by
	the removal of the --builtin-module option.

compiler/notes/AUTHORS
	Updated student email addresses.

5d9e4158f7 Module qualification of types, insts and modes.
Estimated hours taken: 45

Module qualification of types, insts and modes.

Added a new interface file - <module>.int3. This contains the
short interface qualified as much as possible given the information
in the current module.

When producing the .int and .int2 files for a module, the compiler uses
the information in the .int3 files of modules imported in the interface
to fully module qualify all items. The .int2 file is just a fully
qualified version of the .int3 file. The .int3 file cannot be overwritten
by the fully qualified version in the .int2 file because then mmake would
not be able to tell when the interface files that depend on that .int3
file really need updating.

The --warn-interface-imports option can be used to check whether
a module imported in the interface really needs to be imported in
the interface.


compiler/module_qual.m
Module qualify all types, insts and modes. Also checks for modules
imported in the interface of a module that do not need to be.

compiler/modules.m
The .int file for a module now depends on the .int3 files of imported
modules. Added code to generate the make rule for the .int file in the
.d file. There is now a file .date2 which records the last time the
.int2 file was updated.
The .int3 files are made using the --make-short-interface option
introduced a few weeks ago.

compiler/options.m
Added option --warn-interface-imports to enable warning about interface
imports which need not be in the interface. This is off by default
because a lot of modules in the library import list.m when they only
need the type list, which is defined in mercury_builtin.m.
Removed option --builtin-module, since the mercury_builtin name is wired
into the compiler in a large number of places.

compiler/prog_util.m
Added a predicates construct_qualified_term/3 and construct_qualfied_term/4
which take a sym_name, a list of argument term and a context for the /4
version and give a :/2 term.

compiler/type_util.m
Modified type_to_type_id to handle qualified types. Also added predicates
construct_type/3 and construct_type/4 which take a sym_name and a list of
types and return a type by calling prog_util:construct_qualified_term.

compiler/modes.m
On the first iteration of mode analysis, module qualify the modes of
lambda expressions.

compiler/mode_info.m
Added field to mode_info used to decide whether or not to module qualify
lambda expressions.

compiler/mode_errors.m
Added dummy mode error for when module qualification fails so that mode
analysis will stop.
Added code to strip mercury_builtin qualifiers from error messages to
improve readability.

compiler/typecheck.m
Strip builtin qualifiers from error messages.

compiler/llds.m
compiler/llds_out.m
compiler/opt_util.m
compiler/opt_debug.m
Change the format of labels produced for the predicates to use the
qualified version of the type name.

compiler/mercury_compile.pp
Call module_qual__module_qualify_items and make_short_interface.
Remove references to undef_modes.m and undef_types.m

compiler/undef_modes.m
compiler/undef_types.m
Removed, since their functionality is now in module_qual.m.

compiler/prog_io.m
Changed to qualify the subjects of type, mode and inst declarations.

compiler/*.m
Changes to stop various parts of the compiler from throwing away
module qualifiers.
Qualified various mercury_builtin builtins, e.g. in, out, term etc.
where they are wired in to the compiler.

compiler/hlds_data.m
The mode_table and user_inst_table are now abstract types each
storing the {mode | inst}_id to hlds__{mode | inst}_defn maps
and a list of mode_ids or inst_ids. This was done to improve the
efficiency of module qualifying the modes of lambda expressions
during mode analysis.
module_info_optimize/2 now sorts the lists of ids.
The hlds_module interface to the mode and inst tables has not changed.

compiler/hlds_module.m
Added yet another predicate to search the predicate table.
predicate_table_search_pf_sym_arity searches for predicates or
functions matching the given sym_name, arity and pred_or_func.

compiler/higher_order.m
Changed calls to solutions/2 to list__filter/3. Eliminated unnecessary
requantification of goals.

compiler/unused_args.m
Improved abstraction slightly.

0e1e0b0b91 Implement recursive' and non_recursive' pragma c_code declarations.
Estimated hours taken: 4

Implement `recursive' and `non_recursive' pragma c_code declarations.
This allows the compiler to optimize cases when the C code
is known to not call Mercury code.  It's also necessary
to allow C code which modifies the hp register to work
(such code must be declared `non_recursive', otherwise
the registers will be saved and restored over it).
To make things bootstrap OK, the old pragma c_code declarations
default to `non_recursive'.

prog_data.m, hlds_goal.m:
	Add new field c_is_recursive to pragma c_code goals.

prog_io.m:
	Parse the new `recursive' and `non_recursive' pragma c_code
	declarations.

make_hlds.m:
	Pass the c_is_recursive field from the parse tree to the HLDS.

live_vars.m:
	For non-recursive C code, don't save variables on the stack.

code_gen.pp:
	For non-recursive C code, don't save variables on the stack,
	don't mark the succip as needing to be saved, and don't
	call save_registers() and restore_registers().

*.m:
	Change c_code/5 to c_code/6.

prog_data.m, prog_io.m:
	Rename the `pragma' type as `pragma_type', to avoid bootstrapping
	problems caused by my change to make `pragma' an operator.

a8acf00f9d Add a new pragma `:- pragma obsolete(Name/Arity).';
Estimated hours taken: 3

Add a new pragma `:- pragma obsolete(Name/Arity).';
the effect of this pragma is that we issue a warning for
any call to the specified predicate(s) or function(s).

prog_data.m:
	Add new pragma type `obsolete'.
prog_io.m:
	Parse pragma `obsolete'.
hlds_pred.m, hlds_out.m:
	Add new pred_marker `obsolete'
make_hlds.m:
	When we encounter a pragma `obsolete', insert `request(obsolete)'
	in the pred_marker list for the specified predicate(s) and function(s).
simplify.m:
	For each predicate call, check if the called predicate has been
	marked as obsolete.  If so, return a `warn_obsolete' warning.
det_report.m:
	Add a new warning type `warn_obsolete', and add code to print
	the warning for this warning type.
det_analysis.m:
	Add a comment.

60b9fa83b6 Implement higher-order functions.
Estimated hours taken: 12

Implement higher-order functions.

Add higher-order function terms
(function lambda expressions, e.g. `Func = (func(X) = Y :- Y is 2 * X)'
and higher-order function calls (apply/N, e.g. `Z = apply(Func, 42)').
Add higher-order function insts and modes.

hlds_goal.m:
	Add a new field pred_or_func to lambda_goal.

prog_data.m:
	Add a new field pred_or_func to pred_inst_info.

prog_io.m:
	Add support for parsing higher-order function terms and
	higher-order function insts and modes.

make_hlds.m:
	Add support for parsing higher-order function terms.

typecheck.m:
	Add support for type-checking higher-order function calls
	and higher-order function terms.

modes.m, mode_errors.m:
	Add support for mode-checking higher-order function calls
	and higher-order function terms.

higher_order.m:
	Handle higher-order function types and insts.

hlds_pred.m:
	Add new predicate pred_args_to_func_args, for extracting the
	function arguments and function return from the arguments
	of a predicate that is really a function.

*.m:
	Minor changes to handle new pred_or_func field in lambda_goals
	and pred_inst_infos.
