Estimated hours taken: 0.5 Branches: main compiler/switch_detection.m: Fix a limitation: recognize switches in which *all* arms contain not a single unification of the switched-on variable but a disjunction of such unifications. Fix some misleading variable names. tests/hard_coded/disjs_in_switch.{m,exp}: Add a test case for this bug. tests/hard_coded/Mmakefile: Enable the new test case.	2006-04-07 01:32:58 +00:00

Estimated hours taken: 18 Branches: main Move the univ, maybe, pair and unit types from std_util into their own modules. std_util still contains the general purpose higher-order programming constructs. library/std_util.m: Move univ, maybe, pair and unit (plus any other related types and procedures) into their own modules. library/maybe.m: New module. This contains the maybe and maybe_error types and the associated procedures. library/pair.m: New module. This contains the pair type and associated procedures. library/unit.m: New module. This contains the types unit/0 and unit/1. library/univ.m: New module. This contains the univ type and associated procedures. library/library.m: Add the new modules. library/private_builtin.m: Update the declaration of the type_ctor_info struct for univ. runtime/mercury.h: Update the declaration for the type_ctor_info struct for univ. runtime/mercury_mcpp.h: runtime/mercury_hlc_types.h: Update the definition of MR_Univ. runtime/mercury_init.h: Fix a comment: ML_type_name is now exported from type_desc.m. compiler/mlds_to_il.m: Update the the name of the module that defines univs (which are handled specially by the il code generator.) library/*.m: compiler/*.m: browser/*.m: mdbcomp/*.m: profiler/*.m: deep_profiler/*.m: Conform to the above changes.

Zoltan Somogyi	25b8b1abc3	Fix several performance bugs that showed up when the compiler was invoked on ... Estimated hours taken: 20 Branches: main Fix several performance bugs that showed up when the compiler was invoked on Douglas Auclair's training_cars example. Also fix some minor problems that made it harder to find the information needed to localize those problems. training_cars.m is hard to compile quickly because it is big in two dimensions: it has lots of clauses, and each clause has big terms. My laptop still tries to swap itself to death on the full version of training_cars.m (it has only 512 Mb), but the compiler now works fine on a version containing about 20% of its clauses, whereas previously it couldn't compile it at all. In most cases, the changes convert N^2 algorithms to NlogN algorithms. They probably have higher constant factors and may yield small slowdowns for small N, but this is probably not noticeable. Avoiding bad worst case behavior is more important. compiler/superhomogeneous.m: Record the number of goals inserted in each goal being converted to superhomogeneous form. If this exceeds a threshold, wrap a from_ground_term scope around it. Put the predicates into a more cohesive sequence. compiler/field_access.m: Work with the code in superhomogeneous to record the number of inserted goals. Reorder the arguments of some performances to be consistent with the predicates in superhomogeneous.m. compiler/modes.m: Use the from_ground_term scope to reverse the list of inserted unifications if necessary. It is much more efficient to do this here than to let it happen by sequences of delays and wakeups. That would have quadratic complexity; this is linear. This is what I originally introduced from_ground_term scopes for. Then, the overhead was too high, because I added one scope per function symbol. This version should be fine, since there is at most one scope added per argument of an atom (clause head or call). compiler/modes.m: compiler/unique_modes.m: When we are processing goals inside a from_ground_term scope, record this fact. compiler/mode_info.m: Make it possible to record this fact. compiler/modecheck_unify.m: When we are inside a from_ground_term scope, don't try to update the insts of vars on the right hand sides of construction unifications. Since these variables came from expansion to superhomogeneous form, those variables won't occur in any following code, so updating their state is useless, and the algorithm we used to do so is linear in the size of the inst. Since the size of an inst of a variable that results from superhomogeneous expansion is itself on average proportional to the size of the original term, this change turns a quadratic algorithm into a linear one. compiler/inst_match.m: Use balanced trees instead of ordered lists to represents sets of expansions, since these sets can be large. Note an opportunity for further improvement. compiler/inst_util.m: Note another opportunity for further improvement. compiler/instmap.m: Rename several predicates to avoid ambiguities. compiler/cse_detection.m: We used to print statistics for the processing of each procedure without saying which procedure it is for; fix this. compiler/switch_detection.m: Don't print progress messages for predicates with no procedures, since they would be misleading. compiler/higher_order.m: Change an algorithm that was quadratic in the number of arms for merging the information from the different arms of disjunctions and switches to an NlogN algorithm. Change the algorithm for merging the info from two branches that quadratic in the number of variables per arm to an NlogN algorithm. Changed some type equivalences to notag types to aid robustness. compiler/quantification.m: Rename several predicates to avoid ambiguities. The sets of variables in different arms of disjunctions and switches tend to have relatively small intersections. Yet the algorithms we used to compute the set of variables free in the disjunction or switch included the variables from the already processed arms in the sets being accumulated when processing later arms, leading to the quadratic behavior. This diff changes the algorithm to process each arm independently, and then use a more balanced algorithm to summarize the result. Specialize the predicates that compute sets of free vars in various HLDS fragments to work either with ordinary_nonlocals or code_gen_nonlocals without making the same decision repeatedly. Move some code out of large predicates into predicates of their own. compiler/Mercury.options: Specify the compiler option that can exploit this specialization to make the code run faster. compiler/simplify.m: Use a more efficient data structure for recording the parameters of an invocation of simplification. Change some predicate names and function symbol names to avoid ambiguity. compiler/common.m: compiler/deforest.m: compiler/deforest.m: compiler/make_hlds_warn.m: compiler/mercury_compile.m: compiler/pd_util.m: compiler/stack_opt.m: compiler/term_constr_build.m: Conform to the changes in simplify.m and/or instmap.m. compiler/mercury_compile.m: Fix a bug in progress messages for polymorphism.m. compiler/equiv_type_hlds.m: Most of the time, substitutions inside insts have no effect, because very few insts include any reference to a types. Instead of the old approach of building new insts and then throwing them away if they are the same as the old ones, don't build new insts at all if the old inst contains no types. compiler/common.m: Change some predicate names to make them clearer. compiler/hlds_clauses.m: Record the number of clauses so far, to allow a more informative progress message to be printed. compiler/add_clause.m: Print this more informative progress message. Conform to the changes in superhomogeneous.m. compiler/code_gen.m: Use the context of the predicate's first clause (which will be the context of the first clause head) as the context of the predicate's interface events. Unlike the context of the body goal, this won't be affected by program transformations such as wrapping a from_ground_term scope around some goals. It is better for users anyway, since the old policy lead to contexts in the middle of procedure bodies if the top level goal was a disjunction, switch or if-then-else. tests/debugger/*.exp: Update the expected outputs to conform to the change to code_gen.m.	2006-03-29 00:57:46 +00:00

Estimated hours taken: 6 Branches: main compiler/*.m: Convert almost all the compiler modules to use . instead of __ as the module qualifier. In some cases, change the names of predicates and types to make them meaningful without the module qualifier. In particular, most of the types that used to be referred to with an "mlds__" prefix have been changed to have a "mlds_" prefix instead of changing the prefix to "mlds.". There are no algorithmic changes.	2006-03-17 01:40:46 +00:00
Zoltan Somogyi	5b8f96f61d	Prepare for an extension of promise_equivalent_solutions that will allow us ... Estimated hours taken: 5 Branches: main Prepare for an extension of promise_equivalent_solutions that will allow us to better handle values of user-defined types. The problem is that currently, the deconstruction of a value of such a type can be followed only by code that cannot fail, otherwise the cc_multi deconstruction is not in the required single-solution context. If the following code is naturally semidet, this can be worked around by turning it into det code returning a maybe and testing the maybe outside the promise_equivalent_solutions, but this is inefficient, and in any case it does not generalize to nondet code without even more horrendous inefficiency and inconvenience. (You have to create a nondet closure and call it outside the promise_equivalent_solutions.) The solution I came up with is something is to have a construct that contains - a list of deconstructions on types with user-defined equality, - a goal, and - the list of outputs of that goal. The idea is that this would be transformed into a conjunction of the first and second items, and wrapped inside a special kind of conj that provides a scope for the implicit promise, which is that the set of solutions of the goal in the second item doesn't depend on what concrete terms the deconstructions in the first item return out of the set of concrete terms they *could* return. The deconstructions in the first item would be marked to tell determinism analysis to effectively ignore the fact that they involve user-defined equality. The actual addition of that construct is left for a future change, after we agree on the syntax. compiler/hlds_goal.m: Generalize the existing promise_equivalent_solutions scope to a promise_solutions scope with a flag that says whether in the source code it was originally the existing "promise_equivalent_solutions" construct or the new construct (which doesn't exist yet, but is indicated by the symbol "same_solutions" for now). Replace the conj and par_conj hlds_goal_exprs with a single goal expression: conj with an additional argument which is either plain_conj or parallel_conj. This was part of an earlier design in which a third kind of disjunction took the role now assigned to the new kind of promise_solutions scope, but turned out to be a good idea anyway, since in many places the compiler does treat the two kinds of conjunctions the same. This part of the change is responsible for the fact that this change results in a net *reduction* of about 40 lines. Move the most frequently used kinds of goal expressions to the front of the type declaration to allow the compiler to make better decisions about tag allocation. Add the goal marker we will add to the deconstructions in the first item. Replace the true_goal and fail_goal predicates with functions to make them easier to use, and rename their variants that take a context argument to avoid unnecessary ambiguity. compiler/*.m: Conform to the change in hlds_goal.m. Misc changes to make code more robust, e.g. replacing semidet predicates on goal expressions with functions returning bool. Misc cleanups, e.g. removal of unnecessary module qualifications that made lines too long, renaming predicates whose names include "disj" if they are also used to process parallel conjunctions (since in both parallel conjunctions and in disjunctions the goals are independent), and turning semidet predicates that switch on goal expressions into bool functions (to make similar changes more rebust in the future).	2006-02-24 05:49:43 +00:00
Zoltan Somogyi	5af71b60ac	Remove support for the Aditi backend. It is a pain to have to update it every ... Estimated hours taken: 2 Branches: main Remove support for the Aditi backend. It is a pain to have to update it every time a data structure changes when we don't see any benefit from it, and its presence makes compilation of the compiler directory take about 10% longer (since the Aditi backend modules are roughly 10% of the code in the compiler directory). Deleting the Aditi-specific data structures from the HLDS should also speed up compilation a little bit. I have spoken to Rao and he is fine with this step. Aditi users, if there are any, can continue to use the Aditi support in release 0.12.*. I also tagged the last version on the trunk to support aditi with the name "last_aditi". The need for modifications in this Aditi support is likely to be very rare to nonexistent, if the recent past is any guide: the Aditi backend hasn't seen a nontrivial modification in a year or more. This diff removes a net 31492 lines. compiler/add_aditi.m: compiler/aditi_backend.pp: compiler/aditi_builtin_ops.m: compiler/context.m: compiler/dnf.m: compiler/magic.m: compiler/magic_util.m: compiler/rl.m: compiler/rl_analyse.m: compiler/rl_block.m: compiler/rl_block_opt.m: compiler/rl_code.m: compiler/rl_dump.m: compiler/rl_exprn.m: compiler/rl_file.pp: compiler/rl_gen.m: compiler/rl_info.m: compiler/rl_key.m: compiler/rl_liveness.m: compiler/rl_loop.m: compiler/rl_opt.m: compiler/rl_out.pp: compiler/rl_relops.m: compiler/rl_sort.m: compiler/rl_stream.m: Remove these compiler modules, since they existed only to support the Aditi backend. compiler/hlds_goal.m: Delete the Aditi-specific components of goals (e.g. the aditi-builtin kind of generic calls and Aditi-evaluated lambdas). compiler/hlds_pred.m: Delete the Aditi-specific components of pred_infos. compiler/prog_data.m: Delete the Aditi-specific items. compiler/passes_aux.m: Don't worry about processing all procedures or just all non-Aditi procedures. compiler/add_clause.m: Add a predicate from a deleted module that is now used only here. compiler/*.m: Conform to the data structure changes above. compiler/notes/*.html: Remove references to the Aditi backend. tests/invalid/aditi.m: tests/invalid/aditi_errors.err_exp: tests/invalid/aditi_errors.m: tests/invalid/aditi_private_builtin.m: tests/invalid/aditi_state_errors.err_exp: tests/invalid/aditi_state_errors.m: tests/invalid/aditi_update_derived_relation.err_exp: tests/invalid/aditi_update_derived_relation.m: tests/invalid/aditi_update_errors.err_exp: tests/invalid/aditi_update_errors.m: tests/invalid/aditi_update_mode_errors.err_exp: tests/invalid/aditi_update_mode_errors.m: tests/valid/aditi.m: tests/valid/aditi_calls_mercury.m: tests/valid/aditi_error_bug.m: tests/valid/aditi_error_bug2.m: tests/valid/aditi_error_bug3.m: tests/valid/aditi_private_builtin.m: tests/valid/aditi_query.m: tests/valid/aditi_update.m: tests/valid/base_relation.m: tests/valid/base_relation2.m: tests/valid/ite_to_disj.m: Remove these Aditi-specific tests. tests/*/Mmakefile: Remove the references to these Aditi-specific tests.	2006-02-23 09:37:30 +00:00

Estimated hours taken: 4 Branches: main compiler/*.m: Use expect/3 in place of require/2 throughout most of the compiler. Use unexpected/2 (or sorry/2) in place of error/1 in more places.

Zoltan Somogyi	f9fe8dcf61	Improve the error messages generated for determinism errors involving committed ... Estimated hours taken: 8 Branches: main Improve the error messages generated for determinism errors involving committed choice contexts. Previously, we printed a message to the effect that e.g. a cc pred is called in context that requires all solutions, but we didn't say *why* the context requires all solutions. We now keep track of all the goals to the right that could fail, since it is these goals that may reject the first solution of a committed choice goal. The motivation for this diff was the fact that I found that locating the failing goal can be very difficult if the conjunction to the right is a couple of hundred lines long. This would have been a nontrivial problem, since (a) unifications involving values of user-defined types are committed choice goals, and (b) we can expect uses of user-defined types to increase. compiler/det_analysis.m: Keep track of goals to the right of the current goal that could fail, and include them in the error representation if required. compiler/det_report.m: Include the list of failing goals to the right in the representations of determinism errors involving committed committed choice goals. Convert the last part of this module that wasn't using error_util to use error_util. Make most parts of this module just construct error message specifications; print those specifications (using error_util) in only a few places. compiler/hlds_out.m: Add a function for use by the new code in det_report.m. compiler/error_util.m: Add a function for use by the new code in det_report.m. compiler/error_util.m: compiler/compiler_util.m: Error_util is still changing reasonably often, and yet it is included in lots of modules, most of which need only a few simple non-parse-tree-related predicates from it (e.g. unexpected). Move those predicates to a new module, compiler_util.m. This also eliminates some undesirable dependencies from libs to parse_tree. compiler/libs.m: Include compiler_util.m. compiler/notes/compiler_design.html: Document compiler_util.m, and fix the documentation of some other modules. compiler/*.m: Import compiler_util instead of or in addition to error_util. To make this easier, consistently use . instead of __ for module qualifying module names. tests/invalid/det_errors_cc.{m,err_exp}: Add this new test case to test the error messages for cc contexts. tests/invalid/det_errors_deet.{m,err_exp}: Add this new test case to test the error messages for unifications inside function symbols. tests/invalid/Mmakefile: Add the new test cases. tests/invalid/det_errors.err_exp: tests/invalid/magicbox.err_exp: Change the expected output to conform to the change in det_report.m, which is now more consistent.	2005-10-28 02:11:03 +00:00
Zoltan Somogyi	b2012c0c0e	Rename the types 'type', 'inst' and 'mode' to 'mer_type', 'mer_inst' ... Estimated hours taken: 8 Branches: main compiler/*.m: Rename the types 'type', 'inst' and 'mode' to 'mer_type', 'mer_inst' and 'mer_mode'. This is to avoid the need to parenthesize these type names in some contexts, and to prepare for the possibility of a parser that considers those words to be reserved words. Rename some other uses of those names (e.g. as item types in recompilation.m). Delete some redundant synonyms (prog_type, mercury_type) for mer_type. Change some type names (e.g. mlds__type) and predicate names (e.g. deforest__goal) to make them unique even without module qualification. Rename the function symbols (e.g. pure, &) that need to be renamed to avoid the need to parenthesize them. Make their replacement names more expressive. Convert some more modules to four space indentation. Avoid excessively long lines, such as those resulting from the automatic substitution of 'mer_type' for 'type'.	2005-10-24 04:14:34 +00:00
Zoltan Somogyi	df0d9036cf	Optimize calls that would be tail calls in Prolog but are followed by ... Estimated hours taken: 40 Branches: main Optimize calls that would be tail calls in Prolog but are followed by construction unifications in Mercury: last call modulo construction. For now, the optimization is available only for the LLDS backend. compiler/lco.m: Turn this module from a placeholder to a real implementation of the optimization. compiler/hlds_goal.m: Allow lco.m to attach to construction unifications a note that says that certain arguments, instead of being filled in by the unification, should have their addresses taken and stored in the corresponding variables. Group this note together with the note that asks for term size profiling to avoid an increase in the sizes of goals in the compiler in most cases. compiler/hlds_pred.m: Provide a predicate for setting the name of a predicate after its creation. This functionality is used by lco.m. Extend the pred_transformation part of the pred_origin type to allow it to express that a procedure was created by lco.m. List the new primitive store_at_ref as a no-typeinfo builtin. Fix some problems with indentation. compiler/layout_out.m: Handle the new pred_transformation. compiler/unify_gen.m: When processing construction unifications that have the new feaure turned on, perform the requested action. Fix some departures from coding style. Shorten lines by deleting unnecessary module qualifications. Add some auxiliary predicates to make the code easier to read. compiler/var_locn.m: Fix an earlier oversight: when materializing variables inside rvals and lvals, look inside memory references too. Previously, the omission didn't matter, since we didn't generate such references, but now we do. Fix some departures from coding style. compiler/llds_out.m: Fix some old XXXs in code handling memory references. We didn't use to generate such references, but now we do. Move some functionality here from code_aux.m. compiler/code_info.m: Provide some primitive operations needed by the new code in var_locn.m. Delete an unneeded predicate. compiler/options.m: Rename the existing option optimize_constructor_last_call as optimize_constructor_last_call_accumulator, since that optimization is done by accumulator.m. Make optimize_constructor_last_call be the option that calls for the new optimization. compiler/handle_options.m: Handle the implications of the new option. compiler/mercury_compile.m: Invoke the lco module by its new interface. librrary/private_builtin.m: Add a new primitive operation, store_at_ref, for use by the new optimization.

Change the interface to make it clearer, by changing bools into types specific to the situation. Convert the file to four-space indentation. compiler/mode_constraints.m: Minor changes to conform to the changes in dependency_graph.m. compiler/code_aux.m: Delete this module. Half its functionality has been moved into llds_out.m, half to middle_rec.m (its only user). compiler/goal_form.m: Move the predicates in this module that are used only by middle_rec.m to middle_rec.m. Convert the file to four-space indentation. compiler/goal_util.m: compiler/det_util.m: Move update_instmap from det_util to goal_util, since it is usefulness extends beyond determinism analysis. Convert det_util.m to four-space indentation. compiler/middle_rec.m: Move here the code required only here from code_aux and goal_form. Update the moved code for the changes in construct unifications. The updates are specific to middle_rec.m: they wouldn't be of use to other modules. They basically say that any code that takes the addresses of fields cannot be handled by middle_rec.m. compiler/code_gen.m: compiler/det_analysis.m: compiler/live_vars.m: compiler/ll_backend.m: compiler/loop_inv.m: compiler/switch_detection.m: compiler/switch_gen.m: compiler/notes/compiler_design.html: Minor changes to conform to the deletion of code_aux.m and/or the movement of code from det_util to goal_util.m. compiler/opt_debug.m: Print info for vars in rvals. compiler/hlds_module.m: Convert a lambda to an explicit predicate to make some code easier to read.

Zoltan Somogyi	8b8b3b7d3f	Replace the some() HLDS goal with a more general scope() goal, which can be ... Estimated hours taken: 12 Branches: main Replace the some() HLDS goal with a more general scope() goal, which can be used not just for existential quantification but also for other purposes. The main such purposes are new goal types that allow the programmer to annotate arbitrary goals, and not just whole procedure bodies, with the equivalents of promise_pure/promise_semipure and promise_only_solution: promise_pure ( <impure/semipure goal> ) promise_semipure ( <impure goal> ) promise_equivalent_solutions [OutVar1, OutVar2] ( <cc_multi/cc_nondet goal that computed OutVar1 & OutVar2> ) Both are intended to be helpful in writing constraint solvers, as well as in other situations. doc/reference_manual.texi: Document the new constructs. library/ops.m: Add the keywords of the new constructs to the list of operators. Since they work similarly to the "some" operator, they have the same precedence. compiler/hlds_goal.m: Replace the some(Vars, SubGoal) HLDS construct, with its optional keep_this_commit attribute, with the new scope(Reason, SubGoal) construct. The Reason argument may say that this scope is an existential quantification, but it can also say that it represents a purity promise, the introduction of a single-solution context with promise_equivalent_solutions, or a decision by a compiler pass. It can also say that the scope represents a set of goals that all arise from the unraveling of a unification between a variable and a ground term. This was intended to speed up mode checking by significantly reducing the number of delays and wakeups, but the cost of the scopes themselves turned out to be bigger than the gain in modechecking speed. Update the goal_path_step type to refer to scope goals instead of just existential quantification. compiler/prog_data.m: Add new function symbols to the type we use to represent goals in items to stand for the new Mercury constructs. compiler/prog_io_goal.m: Add code to read in the new language constructs. compiler/prog_io_util.m: Add a utility predicate for use by the new code in prog_io_goal.m. compiler/make_hlds.m: Convert the item representation of the new constructs to the HLDS representation. Document how the from_ground_term scope reason would work, but do not enable the code. compiler/purity.m: When checking the purity of goals, respect the new promise_pure and promise_semipure scopes. Generate warnings if such scopes are redundant. compiler/det_analysis.m: Make the insides of promise_equivalent_solutions goals single solution contexts. compiler/det_report.m: Provide mechanisms for reporting inappropriate usage of promise_equivalent_solutions goals. compiler/instmap.m: Add a utility predicate for use by one of the modules above. compiler/deep_profiling.m: Use one of the new scope reasons to prevent simplify from optimizing away commits of goals that have been made impure, instead of the old keep_this_commit goal feature. compiler/modes.m: Handle from_ground_term scopes when present; for now, they won't be present, since make_hlds isn't creating them. compiler/options.m: Add two new compiler options, for use by implementors only, to allow finer control over the amount of output one gets with --debug-modes. (I used them when debugging the performance of the from_ground_term scope reason.) The options are --debug-modes-minimal and --debug-modes-verbose. compiler/handle_options.m: Make the options that are meaningful only in the presence of --debug-modes imply --debug-modes, since this allows more convenient (shorter) invocations. compiler/mode_debug.m: Respect the new options when deciding how much data to print when debugging of the mode checking process is enabled. compiler/switch_detect.m: Rename a predicate to make it differ from another predicate by more than just its arity. compiler/passes_aux.m: Bring this module up to date with our current style guidelines, by using state variable syntax where appropriate. compiler/*.m: Minor changes to conform to the change in the HLDS and/or parse tree goal type. mdbcomp/program_representation.m: Rename the some goal to the scope goal, and the same for path steps, to keep them in sync with the HLDS. browser/declarative_tree.m: Conform to the change in goal representations. tests/hard_coded/promise_equivalent_solutions_test.{m,exp}: A new test case to test the handling of the promise_equivalent_solutions construct. tests/hard_coded/Mmakefile: Enable the new test. tests/hard_coded/purity/promise_pure_test.{m,exp}: A new test case to test the handling of the promise_pure and promise_semipure constructs. tests/hard_coded/purity/Mmakefile: Enable the new test. tests/invalid/promise_equivalent_solutions.{m,err_exp}: A new test case to test the error messages for improper use of the promise_pure and promise_semipure constructs. tests/invalid/Mmakefile: Enable the new test.	2005-03-24 05:34:41 +00:00

Zoltan Somogyi	885fd4a387	Remove almost all dependencies by the modules of parse_tree.m on the modules ... Estimated hours taken: 12 Branches: main Remove almost all dependencies by the modules of parse_tree.m on the modules of hlds.m. The only such dependencies remaining now are on type_util.m. compiler/hlds_data.m: compiler/prog_data.m: Move the cons_id type from hlds_data to prog_data, since several parts of the parse tree data structure depend on it (particularly insts). Remove the need to import HLDS modules in prog_data.m by making the cons_ids that refer to procedure ids refer to them via a new type that contains shrouded pred_ids and proc_ids. Since pred_ids and proc_ids are abstract types in hlds_data, add predicates to hlds_data to shroud and unshroud them. Also move some other types, e.g. mode_id and class_id, from hlds_data to prog_data. compiler/hlds_data.m: compiler/prog_util.m: Move predicates for manipulating cons_ids from hlds_data to prog_util. compiler/inst.m: compiler/prog_data.m: Move the contents of inst.m to prog_data.m, since that is where it belongs, and since doing so eliminates a circular dependency. The separation doesn't serve any purpose any more, since we don't need to import hlds_data.m anymore to get access to the cons_id type. compiler/mode_util.m: compiler/prog_mode.m: compiler/parse_tree.m: Move the predicates in mode_util that don't depend on the HLDS to a new module prog_mode, which is part of parse_tree.m. compiler/notes/compiler_design.m: Mention prog_mode.m, and delete the mention of inst.m. compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m: compiler/hlds_out.m: Move the predicates that depend on HLDS out of mercury_to_mercury.m to hlds_out.m.

Zoltan Somogyi	7bf0cd03af	Reduce the overhead of all forms of tabling by eliminating in many cases ... Estimated hours taken: 32 Branches: main Reduce the overhead of all forms of tabling by eliminating in many cases the overhead of transferring data across the C/Mercury boundary. These involve lots of control transfers as well as assignments to and from Mercury abstract machine registers, which are not real machine registers on x86 machines. Benchmarking in Uppsala revealed this overhead to be a real problem. The way we do that is by changing the tabling transformation so that instead of generating sequences of calls to predicates from library/table_builtin.m, we generate sequences of calls to C macros from runtime/mercury_tabling_pred.h, and emit the resulting code string as the body of a foreign_proc goal. (The old transformation is still available via a new option, --no-tabling-via-extra-args.) Since the number of inputs and outputs of the resulting C code sequences are not always fixed (they can depend on the number of input or output arguments of predicate being transformed), implementing this required adding to foreign_procs a new field that allows the specification of extra arguments to be passed to and from the given foreign code fragment. For now, this mechanism is implemented only by the C backends, since it is needed only by the C backends. (We don't support yet tabling on other backends.) To simplify the new implementation of the field on foreign_procs, consolidate three existing fields into one. Each of these fields was a list with one element per argument, so turning them into a single list with a combined record per argument should also improve reliability, since it reduces the likelyhood of updates leaving the data structure inconsistent. The goal paths of components of a tabled predicate depend on whether -no-tabling-via-extra-args was specified. To enable the expected outputs of the debugger test cases testing tabling, we add a new mdb command, goal_paths, that controls whether goal paths are printed by the debugger at events, and turn off the printing of events in the relevant test cases. Also, prepare for a future change to optimize the trie structure for user-defined types by handling type_infos (and once we support them, typeclass_infos) specially. compiler/table_gen.m: Change the tabling transformation along the lines described above. To allow us to factor out as much of the new code as possible, we change the meaning of the call_table_tip variable for minimal model subgoals: instead of the trie node at the end of the answer table, it is not now the subgoal reachable from it. This change has no effect as yet, because we use call_table_tip variables only to perform resets across retries in the debugger, and we don't do retries across calls to minimal model tabled predicates. Put predicates into logical groups. library/table_builtin.m: runtime/mercury_tabling_preds.h: When the new transformations in table_gen.m generate foreign_procs with variable numbers of arguments, the interfaces of those foreign_procs often do not match the interfaces of the existing library predicates at their core: they frequently have one more or one fewer argument. To prevent any possible confusion, in such cases we add a new variant of the predicate. These predicates have the suffix _shortcut in their name. Their implementations are dummy macros that do nothing; they serve merely as placeholders before or after which the macros that actually do the work are inserted. Move the definitions of the lookup, save and restore predicates into mercury_tabling_preds.h. Make the naming scheme of their arguments more regular. runtime/mercury_minimal_model.c: runtime/mercury_tabling_preds.h: Move the definition of a predicate from mercury_minimal_model.c to mercury_tabling_preds.h, since the compiler now needs to be able to generate an inlined version of it. compiler/hlds_goal.m: Replace the three existing fields describing the arguments of foreign_procs with one, and add a new field describing the extra arguments that may be inserted by table_gen.m. Add utility predicates for processing the arguments of foreign_procs. Change the order of some existing groups of declarations make it more logical. compiler/hlds_pred.m: runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h: Extend the data structures recording the structure of tabling tries to allow the representation of trie steps for type_infos and typeclass_infos. runtime/mercury_tabling_macros.c: Fix a bug regarding the tabling of typeclass_infos, which is now required for a clean compile. compiler/pragma_c_gen.m: compiler/ml_code_gen.m: Modify the generation of code for foreign_procs to handle extra arguments, and to conform to the new data structures for foreign_proc arguments. compiler/llds.m: The tabling transformations can now generate significantly sized foreign_procs bodies, which the LLDS code generator translates to pragma_c instructions. Duplicating these by jump optimization may lose more by worsening locality than it gains in avoiding jumps, so we add an extra field to pragma_c instructions that tells jumpopt not to duplicate code sequences containing such pragma_cs. compiler/jumpopt.m: Respect the new flag on pragma_cs. compiler/goal_util.m: Add a predicate to create foreign_procs with specified contents, modelled on the existing predicate to create calls. Change the order of the arguments of that existing predicate to make it more logical. compiler/polymorphism.m: Conform to the new definition of foreign_procs.

Zoltan Somogyi	189b9215ae	This diff implements stack slot optimization for the LLDS back end based on ... Estimated hours taken: 400 Branches: main This diff implements stack slot optimization for the LLDS back end based on the idea that after a unification such as A = f(B, C, D), saving the variable A on the stack indirectly also saves the values of B, C and D. Figuring out what subset of {B,C,D} to access via A and what subset to access via their own stack slots is a tricky optimization problem. The algorithm we use to solve it is described in the paper "Using the heap to eliminate stack accesses" by Zoltan Somogyi and Peter Stuckey, available in ~zs/rep/stackslot. That paper also describes (and has examples of) the source-to-source transformation that implements the optimization. The optimization needs to know what variables are flushed at call sites and at program points that establish resume points (e.g. entries to disjunctions and if-then-elses). We already had code to compute this information in live_vars.m, but this code was being invoked too late. This diff modifies live_vars.m to allow it to be invoked both by the stack slot optimization transformation and by the code generator, and allows its function to be tailored to the requirements of each invocation. The information computed by live_vars.m is specific to the LLDS back end, since the MLDS back ends do not (yet) have the same control over stack frame layout. We therefore store this information in a new back end specific field in goal_infos. For uniformity, we make all the other existing back end specific fields in goal_infos, as well as the similarly back end specific store map field of goal_exprs, subfields of this new field. This happens to significantly reduce the sizes of goal_infos. To allow a more meaningful comparison of the gains produced by the new optimization, do not save any variables across erroneous calls even if the new optimization is not enabled. compiler/stack_opt.m: New module containing the code that performs the transformation to optimize stack slot usage. compiler/matching.m: New module containing an algorithm for maximal matching in bipartite graphs, specialized for the graphs needed by stack_opt.m. compiler/mercury_compile.m: Invoke the new optimization if the options ask for it. compiler/stack_alloc.m: New module containing code that is shared between the old, non-optimizing stack slot allocation system and the new, optimizing stack slot allocation system, and the code for actually allocating stack slots in the absence of optimization. Live_vars.m used to have two tasks: find out what variables need to be saved on the stack, and allocating those variables to stack slots. Live_vars.m now does only the first task; stack_alloc.m now does the second, using code that used to be in live_vars.m. compiler/trace_params: Add a new function to test the trace level, which returns yes if we want to preserve the values of the input headvars. compiler/notes/compiler_design.html: Document the new modules (as well as trace_params.m, which wasn't documented earlier). compiler/live_vars.m: Delete the code that is now in stack_alloc.m and graph_colour.m. Separate out the kinds of stack uses due to nondeterminism: the stack slots used by nondet calls, and the stack slots used by resumption points, in order to allow the reuse of stack slots used by resumption points after execution has left their scope. This should allow the same stack slots to be used by different variables in the resumption point at the start of an else branch and nondet calls in the then branch, since the resumption point of the else branch is not in effect when the then branch is executed. If the new option --opt-no-return-calls is set, then say that we do not need to save any values across erroneous calls. Use type classes to allow the information generated by this module to be recorded in the way required by its invoker. Package up the data structures being passed around readonly into a single tuple. compiler/store_alloc.m: Allow this module to be invoked by stack_opt.m without invoking the follow_vars transformation, since applying follow_vars before the form of the HLDS code is otherwise final can be a pessimization. Make the module_info a part of the record containing the readonly data passed around during the traversal. compiler/common.m: Do not delete or move around unifications created by stack_opt.m. compiler/call_gen.m: compiler/code_info.m: compiler/continuation_info.m: compiler/var_locn.m: Allow the code generator to delete its last record of the location of a value when generating code to make an erroneous call, if the new --opt-no-return-calls option is set. compiler/code_gen.m: Use a more useful algorithm to create the messages/comments that we put into incr_sp instructions, e.g. by distinguishing between predicates and functions. This is to allow the new scripts in the tool directory to gather statistics about the effect of the optimization on stack frame sizes. library/exception.m: Make a hand-written incr_sp follow the new pattern. compiler/arg_info.m: Add predicates to figure out the set of input, output and unused arguments of a procedure in several different circumstances. Previously, variants of these predicates were repeated in several places. compiler/goal_util.m: Export some previously private utility predicates. compiler/handle_options.m: Turn off stack slot optimizations when debugging, unless --trace-optimized is set. Add a new dump format useful for debugging --optimize-saved-vars. compiler/hlds_llds.m: New module for handling all the stuff specific to the LLDS back end in HLDS goal_infos. compiler/hlds_goal.m: Move all the relevant stuff into the new back end specific field in goal_infos. compiler/notes/allocation.html: Update the documentation of store maps to reflect their movement into a subfield of goal_infos. compiler/*.m: Minor changes to accomodate the placement of all back end specific information about goals from goal_exprs and individual fields of goal_infos into a new field in goal_infos that gathers together all back end specific information. compiler/use_local_vars.m: Look for sequences in which several instructions use a fake register or stack slot as a base register pointing to a cell, and make those instructions use a local variable instead. Without this, a key assumption of the stack slot optimization, that accessing a field in a cell costs only one load or store instruction, would be much less likely to be true. (With this optimization, the assumption will be false only if the C compiler's code generator runs out of registers in a basic block, which for the code we generate should be unlikely even on x86s.) compiler/options.m: Make the old option --optimize-saved-vars ask for both the old stack slot optimization (implemented by saved_vars.m) that only eliminates the storing of constants in stack slots, and the new optimization. Add two new options --optimize-saved-vars-{const,cell} to turn on the two optimizations separately. Add a bunch of options to specify the parameters of the new optimizations, both in stack_opt.m and use_local_vars.m. These are for implementors only; they are deliberately not documented. Add a new option, --opt-no-return-cells, that governs whether we avoid saving variables on the stack at calls that cannot return, either by succeeding or by failing. This is for implementors only, and thus deliberately documented only in comments. It is enabled by default. compiler/optimize.m: Transmit the value of a new option to use_local_vars.m. doc/user_guide.texi: Update the documentation of --optimize-saved-vars. library/tree234.m: Undo a previous change of mine that effectively applied this optimization by hand. That change complicated the code, and now the compiler can do the optimization automatically. tools/extract_incr_sp: A new script for extracting stack frame sizes and messages from stack increment operations in the C code for LLDS grades. tools/frame_sizes: A new script that uses extract_incr_sp to extract information about stack frame sizes from the C files saved from a stage 2 directory by makebatch and summarizes the resulting information. tools/avg_frame_size: A new script that computes average stack frame sizes from the files created by frame_sizes. tools/compare_frame_sizes: A new script that compares the stack frame size information extracted from two different stage 2 directories by frame_sizes, reporting on both average stack frame sizes and on specific procedures that have different stack frame sizes in the two versions.	2002-03-28 03:44:41 +00:00
Fergus Henderson	7597790760	Use sub-modules to structure the modules in the Mercury compiler directory. ... The main aim of this change is to make the overall, high-level structure of the compiler clearer, and to encourage better encapsulation of the major components. compiler/libs.m: compiler/backend_libs.m: compiler/parse_tree.m: compiler/hlds.m: compiler/check_hlds.m: compiler/transform_hlds.m: compiler/bytecode_backend.m: compiler/aditi_backend.m: compiler/ml_backend.m: compiler/ll_backend.m: compiler/top_level.m: New files. One module for each of the major components of the Mercury compiler. These modules contain (as separate sub-modules) all the other modules in the Mercury compiler, except gcc.m and mlds_to_gcc.m. Mmakefile: compiler/Mmakefile: Handle the fact that the top-level module is now `top_level', not `mercury_compile' (since `mercury_compile' is a sub-module of `top_level'). compiler/Mmakefile: Update settings of *FLAGS-<modulename> to use the appropriate nested module names. compiler/recompilation_check.m: compiler/recompilation_version.m: compiler/recompilation_usage.m: compiler/recompilation.check.m: compiler/recompilation.version.m: compiler/recompilation.version.m: Convert the `recompilation_*' modules into sub-modules of the `recompilation' module. compiler/*.m: compiler/*.pp: Module-qualify the module names in `:- module', `:- import_module', and `:- use_module' declarations. compiler/base_type_info.m: compiler/base_type_layout.m: Deleted these unused empty modules. compiler/prog_data.m: compiler/globals.m: Move the `foreign_language' type from prog_data to globals. compiler/mlds.m: compiler/ml_util.m: compiler/mlds_to_il.m: Import `globals', for `foreign_language'. Mmake.common.in: trace/Mmakefile: runtime/Mmakefile: Rename the %.check.c targets as %.check_hdr.c, to avoid conflicts with compiler/recompilation.check.c.	2002-03-20 12:37:56 +00:00
Adrian Pellas-Rice	1c65d003f7	Add the shorthand_goal_expr wrapper type to ease hlds->hlds transformations. ... Estimated hours taken: 4.5 Branches: main Add the shorthand_goal_expr wrapper type to ease hlds->hlds transformations. compiler/hlds_goal.m Create a new type, the `shorthand_goal_expr', for goals kinds that are implemented by a (ordinary_hlds + shorthand) -> (ordinary_hlds) transformation. At present, bi_implication is the only kind of of goal that is implemented in this way. Moved bi_implication functor from the type goal_expr to the new shorthand_goal_expr type. Added the functor shorthand to the goal_expr type. compiler/*.m Change switches on hlds_goal_expr that call error when they recognise `bi_implication' from calling error when they recognise `bi_implication' to calling error when they recognise `shorthand'. For all predicates K that a) switch on hlds_goal_expr and b) perform non-trivial processing when they recognise `bi_implication' change K such that it now calls K_shorthand upon recognising the functor `shorthand'. Define K_shorthand to switch on shorthand_goal_expr, where the code for the `bi_implication' case formerly contained in K is now contained in K_shorthand.	2001-04-07 14:05:03 +00:00
Tyson Dowd	711da78188	Rename foreign_code as foreign_proc where appropriate in the compiler. ... Estimated hours taken: 4.0 Branches: main Rename foreign_code as foreign_proc where appropriate in the compiler. The rationale for this change is that it makes maintaining the code much simpler because it is clear whether `foreign' refers to a slab of code (foreign_code) or a procedure (foreign_proc). :- type pragma_foreign_code_attributes :- type pragma_foreign_proc_attributes The functors for pragma_type foreign(Lang, BodyCode) foreign(Attributes, Name, PredOrFunc, Vars, Varset, Impl) become foreign_code(Lang, BodyCode) foreign_proc(Attributes, Name, PredOrFunc, Vars, Varset, Impl) And the HLDS goal `pragma_foreign_code' becomes `foreign_proc'. compiler/*.m: Update the compiler to use the new names.	2001-04-03 03:20:33 +00:00
Zoltan Somogyi	639dd4943c	Put back the earlier clarification of cse_detection code, but without ... Estimated hours taken: 16 compiler/cse_detection.m: Put back the earlier clarification of cse_detection code, but without the bug this time :-( The bug was that cse_detection did not insist on all branches of the branched control structure containing a copy of the "common" deconstruction unification. By hoisting that unification before the branched control structure, cse_detection was effectively adding a test into some computation paths. Fix common subexpression elimination so that it works when the deconstruction it hoists out of a branched control structure involves a functor with existentially typed arguments. compiler/switch_detection.m: Modify the code called by cse_detection to look for deconstruction unifications to make it explicit whether the search was successful. compiler/options.m: Put the default value of --compare-specialization back to 4, now that the bug that prevented it from working at levels above 1 (in the presence of existentially typed arguments) has been fixed.	2000-12-08 06:50:17 +00:00
Zoltan Somogyi	30a7319d32	Make the code for finding common subexpressions significantly clearer ... Estimated hours taken: 4 compiler/cse_detection.m: Make the code for finding common subexpressions significantly clearer by using a single type for each possible state of the search, instead of dividing the state between a maybe and a bool. Instead of passing around several data structures separately, wrap them up in a cse_info data structure. Extend the cse_info data structure with fields that will be required to fix common subexpression elimination over existentially typed functors. Switch to using predmode declarations when appropriate. compiler/switch_detection.m: Remove some redundancy from a comment.	2000-12-05 02:03:45 +00:00
Tyson Dowd	477ecb18f6	Implement pragma foreign_code for Managed C++. ... Estimated hours taken: 60 Implement pragma foreign_code for Managed C++. Currently you can only write MC++ code if your backend is capable of generating use MC++ as its "native" foreign language. The IL backend is the only backend that does this at the moment (the other backends have C as their "native" foreign language). Most of the machinery is in place to call from C to (normal) C++ but there is little work done on actually spitting out the C++ code into a separate file. The IL backend does this step already with managed C++. The intention is to turn foreign_code for C++ into a pragma import (which imports the C++ function from a separate file) and foreign_code for C (which calls the imported function). The C++ code will be inserted into a separate file that is compiled using C linkage. The important improvement this change gives is that you can write a module with a C and a MC++ implementations side-by-side. The target backend will select the most appropriate foreign language to use. You can override its choice using --use-foreign-language. Later on we will probably want more flexibility than just a single language selection option). This change also implements :- pragma foreign_decl, which allows header file style declarations to be written in languages other than C. compiler/code_gen.m: Reject code that is not C when generating LLDS. compiler/export.m: Start renaming C as foreign. Reject code that is not C when generating exports. compiler/foreign.m: A new module to handle foreign language interfacing. The bulk of the code for pragma import has been moved here from make_hlds. compiler/globals.m: Convert foreign language names to foreign_language. This code has been moved closer to the similar conversion we do for target language names. Add globals__io_lookup_foreign_language_option to make it easier to deterministically lookup the options relating to foreign languages. compiler/hlds_module.m: Move module_add_foreign_decl and module_add_foreign_body_code from make_hlds.m (where they were called module_add_c_header and module_add_c_code). compiler/hlds_out.m: Write the foreign language out in HLDS dumps. compiler/llds.m: Change foreign_header_info to foreign_decl_info. Change definitions of foreign_decl_code and foreign_body_code to include the language. compiler/llds_out.m: Reject code that is not C when writing out LLDS. compiler/make_hlds.m: Add foreign language information to the bodys and decls when creating them. Update error messages to refer to foreign code instead of C code. Use foreign.m to generate interfaces from the backend language to the foreign language. Hardcode C as the language for fact tables. compiler/mercury_compile.m: Collect the appropriate foreign language code together for output to the backend. compiler/intermod.m: compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m: Output the foreign language string. Change a few names to foreign_code instead of c_code. compiler/ml_code_gen.m: Filter the foreign language bodys and decls so that we only get the ones we are in (given by the use-foreign-language option). compiler/mlds_to_c.m: Abort if we are given non C foreign language code to output (we might handle it here in future, or we might handle it elsewhere). compiler/mlds_to_ilasm.m: Abort if we are given non MC++ foreign language code to output (we might handle it here in future, or we might handle it elsewhere). compiler/options.m: compiler/handle_options.m: Add --use-foreign-language as a user option to control the preferred foreign language to use as the implementation of this module. Add backend_foreign_language as an internal option which stores the foreign language that the compiler will use as a default (e.g. the natural foreign language for the backend to use). Set the preferred backend foreign language depending on the target. compiler/prog_data.m: Add managedcplusplus as a new alternative for the foreign_language type. Make c_header_code into foreign_decl. Give the foreign language for foreign_code as an attribute of the code. Write code to turn attributes into a list of strings (suitable for writing out by mercury_to_mercury). This fixes what appears to be a bug in tabled_for_io -- the tabled_for_io attribute was not being written out. Structure the code so this bug is difficult to repeat in future. compiler/prog_io_pragma.m: Parse foreign_decl. Turn c_header_code into a special case of foreign_decl. compiler/*.m: Remove the language field from pragma_foreign_code, it is now an attribute of the code. Various type and variable renamings. tests/invalid/pragma_c_code_and_clauses1.err_exp: tests/invalid/pragma_c_code_dup_var.err_exp: tests/warnings/singleton_test.exp: Update the tests to reflect the new error messages talking about :- pragma foreign_code rather than :- pragma c_code.	2000-11-17 17:48:52 +00:00

Note that currently no pass on the main branch currently generates this information yet. mlds.m: Add a new instruction delete_object which is to be inserted whenever a lval can be compile time garbage collected. ml_unify_gen.m: Handle the case where the HowToConstruct field of a construction is reuse_cell(_). Handle the case where a deconstruction can be compile time gc'd. hlds_goal.m: Add a new field, can_cgc, to deconstruction unifications. This field is `yes' if the deconstruction unification can be compile time garbage collected. hlds_out.m: Output the can_cgc field. Output unification information if we request the structure reuse information. ml_elim_nested.m: mlds_to_c.m: Handle the delete_object instruction. builtin_ops.m: Fix a bug where body was an unary op instead of a binary op. bytecode.m: c_util.m: llds.m: opt_debug.m: vn_cost.m: Changes to reflect that body is a binary op. bytecode_gen.m: code_aux.m: common.m: cse_detection.m: dependency_graph.m: det_analysis.m: goal_util.m: higher_order.m: mark_static_terms.m: mode_util.m: modecheck_unify.m: pd_cost.m: pd_util.m: prog_rep.m: rl_exprn.m: rl_key.m: simplify.m: switch_detection.m: term_traversal.m: unify_gen.m: unused_args.m: Handle the can compile time gc field in deconstruction unifications.	2000-10-06 10:18:39 +00:00
Tyson Dowd	c192d50143	Add preliminary support for a new pragma: ... Estimated hours taken: 15 Add preliminary support for a new pragma: :- pragma foreign_code(LanguageString, .... <same args as c_code>). This is intended to be the eventual replacement of pragma c_code. Presently the only valid language is "C". The existing pragma c_code is simply turned into pragma foreign_code. pragma foreign_code is not a supported pragma at the moment. There are several other changes that are intended (for example, foreign_code will be impure by default). This change also changes the HLDS goal pragma_c_code/7 to pragma_foreign_code/8 where the extra argument is the foreign language. Any code currently generating output for pragma C code simply checks that the foreign language is set to "c". Since this is the only alternative of the type foreign_language, it will always succeed. However when new alternatives are added it should be fairly easy to find where the changes need to be made. Some type names and predicate names have also been updated, however there are many more that haven't yet been touched. compiler/prog_io_pragma.m: Accept the new syntax. Turn the old syntax into the new item. compiler/hlds_goal.m: Change pragma_c_code/7 to pragma_foreign_code/8. Define the foreign_language type. compiler/llds.m: Change user_c_code/2 to user_foreign_code/3. compiler/*.m: Update the rest of the compiler to handle these types. Make a few small changes to update variable names, predicate names and type names.	2000-08-09 07:48:04 +00:00
Zoltan Somogyi	9dcab9bee2	Add a new optimization, enabled by the option --unneeded-code. ... Estimated hours taken: 40 Add a new optimization, enabled by the option --unneeded-code. This optimization removes goals whose outputs are not used at all, and moves goals whose outputs are only used on some computation branches to the starts of those branches, so they do not need to be executed on other branches. Such deletions/movements are done only when the semantic switches and the properties of the relevant goal together permit it. compiler/unneeded_code.m: A new module to perform the goal rearrangement. compiler/hlds_goal.m: The new optimization needs to know how many functors the switched-on variable can be bound to, so it can check whether a given number of switch arms covers all alternatives or not. To make access to this information convenient, we add a field to the goal_path_step alternative for switch arm entry that records this number. compiler/goal_path.m: Fill in this number. To make this possible, we thread the necessary information through the predicates in this module. compiler/type_util.m: Add a utility predicate type_util__switch_type_num_functors, for use by the new code in goal_path.m. compiler/switch_detection.m: Avoid duplicated code by using type_util__switch_type_num_functors where relevant. compiler/code_aux.m: Add three new auxiliary predicate, code_aux__goal_cannot_loop_or_throw, code_aux__goal_can_loop_or_throw and code_aux__goal_can_loop, to the existing code_aux__goal_cannot_loop. code_aux__goal_cannot_loop now checks only what its name says. compiler/trace.m: Ignore the new field when generating goal paths strings. compiler/mercury_compile.m: Invoke unneeded_code.m if required. compiler/hlds_pred.m: Add some utility predicates for use by unneeded_code.m. compiler/unused_args.m: Use the new utility predicates instead of reimplementing them. compiler/options.m: Define the --unneeded-code option, and its auxiliary, --unneeded-code-copy-limit. doc/user_guide.texi: Document the new options.	2000-07-25 09:27:38 +00:00
Fergus Henderson	d551dd1dc9	Handle quantification analysis of bi-implication (`<=>') goals correctly. ... Estimated hours taken: 10 Handle quantification analysis of bi-implication (`<=>') goals correctly. Previously we used to expand bi-implications before doing quantification analysis, which stuffed up the results of quantification analysis for those goals. We need to do quantification analysis first, and only then can we expand bi-implications. In addition, elimination of double negation needs to come after expansion of bi-implication, so I moved that from make_hlds.m to purity.m. compiler/hlds_goal.m: Add a new alternative to the HLDS goal type for bi-implications. Also add a new predicate negate_goal, for use by purity.m. compiler/make_hlds.m: Don't expand bi-implication here, instead just use the new bi_implication/2 HLDS goal type. Don't eliminated double negation here. compiler/quantification.m: Handle quantification for bi-implications. Expand bi-implications. compiler/purity.m: Eliminate double negation. compiler/hlds_out.m: Add code to print out bi-implication goals. compiler/*.m: Trivial changes to handle the new bi_implication/2 alternative in the HLDS goal type. compiler/notes/compiler_design.html: Document the above changes. tests/hard_coded/Mmakefile: tests/hard_coded/quantifier2.m: tests/hard_coded/quantifier2.exp: A regression test for the above change.	1999-10-25 03:53:14 +00:00

Doing this can remove infinite loops, which the strict sequential semantics does not allow.

Simon Taylor	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.

Simon Taylor	d0085d8119	Assorted changes to make the HLDS type and mode correct ... Estimated hours taken: 45 Assorted changes to make the HLDS type and mode correct after lambda expansion. The HLDS is still not unique mode correct after common structure elimination. compiler/det_analysis.m Make sure the inferred_determinism field of the proc_info is filled in correctly for imported procedures and class methods. compiler/mode_util.m Fix a bug in recompute_instmap_delta_call to do with unreachable instmaps. This caused an abort a couple of months ago when compiling with --deforestation (not yet committed), but can't currently be reproduced. compiler/hlds_pred.m compiler/lambda.m Add a field to the proc_info to record which args_method should be used for this procedure. Procedures directly called by do_call_*_closure must be compiled with the `compact' argument convention to avoid the need to permute the arguments so inputs come before outputs. compiler/lambda.m compiler/higher_order.m Remove permutation of argument variables of lambda expressions so the HLDS is type and mode correct and mode analysis can be rerun. Otherwise, rerunning mode analysis will fail on tests/hard_coded/ho_order.m. compiler/arg_info.m Added arg_info__ho_call_args_method which returns an args_method which can always be directly called by do_call_*_closure (`compact'). Added arg_info__args_method_is_ho_callable to check that a given args_method can be directly called. compiler/unify_gen.m Abort if a closure is created for a procedure compiled with the simple argument convention. compiler/hlds_goal.m compiler/lambda.m Mode analysis was not storing the non-locals list on which the uni_modes field of the construction of a lambda goal was computed. If the nonlocals were renamed, the sort order could change, and the non-locals could be incorrectly matched with the arguments of the introduced lambda expression, causing a mode error. The argument list is now stored. This caused rerunning mode-checking on tests/valid/lazy_list.m after polymorphism to fail. compiler/*.m Fill in the args_method field of proc_infos with the value from the globals. Handle the extra argument to the lambda_goal unify_rhs. compiler/follow_vars.m Remove code to handle complicated unifications, since they should be removed by polymorphism.m. compiler/special_pred.m library/mercury_builtin.m Make the uniqueness of the comparison_result argument of builtin_compare_* and the automatically generated comparison procedures match that of compare/3. Unique mode errors will still be introduced if polymorphism.m specializes calls to any of the unique modes of compare/3 and then mode analysis is rerun, since the compiler-generated comparison procedures only implement the (uo, in, in) mode. (This is not yet a problem because currently we don't rerun mode analysis.) runtime/mercury_ho_call.c Remove code in do_call_*_closure to deal with the `simple' args_method. Since the output arguments no longer need to be moved, the closure call is now a tailcall. Remove some magic numbers. compiler/modecheck_unify.m Avoid some aborts and mode errors when rerunning mode analysis, especially those resulting from not_reached insts being treated as bound. Avoid aborting on higher-order predicate constants with multiple modes if lambda expansion has already been run. tests/valid/higher_order.m Add a test case for an abort in mode analysis when compiling with --deforestation (not yet committed), due to a predicate constant for a procedure with multiple modes. tests/valid/unreachable_code.m Add a test case for bogus higher-order unification mode errors in unreachable code.	1998-02-12 01:17:56 +00:00
Zoltan Somogyi	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.	1998-01-13 10:14:23 +00:00

David Jeffery	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. runtime/mercury_type_info.h: Macros for accessing the typeclass_info structure.	1997-12-19 03:10:47 +00:00

Fergus Henderson	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: Print out the new field. compiler/base_type_layout.m: compiler/code_util.m: compiler/dense_switch.m: compiler/equiv_type.m: compiler/intermod.m: compiler/make_hlds.m: compiler/mode_util.m: compiler/module_qual.m: compiler/modules.m: compiler/switch_detection.m: compiler/tag_switch.m: compiler/type_util.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.	1997-08-22 13:57:43 +00:00
