18430aaef1 Aditi compilation.
Estimated hours taken: 1200

Aditi compilation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

compiler/type_util.m:
	Added type_is_aditi_state/1.

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

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

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

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

compiler/prog_out.m:
	Generalised the code to output a module list to write any list.

compiler/code_gen.m:
compiler/arg_info.m:
	Don't process Aditi procedures.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Call magic.m and rl_gen.m.
	Don't perform the low-level annotation passes on Aditi procedures.
	Remove calls to constraint.m - sometime soon a rewritten version
	will be called directly from deforestation.

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

compiler/llds.m:
compiler/llds_out.m:
	Added new `code_addr' enum members, do_{det,semidet,nondet}_aditi_call,
	which are defined in extras/aditi/aditi.m.

compiler/call_gen.m:
	Handle generation of do_*_aditi_call.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Write the RL code for the module as a constant char array
	in the `.c' file.

compiler/term_errors.m:
compiler/error_util.m:
	Move code to describe predicates into error_util.m
	Allow the caller to explicitly add line breaks.
	Added error_util:list_to_pieces to format a list of
	strings.
	Reordered some arguments for currying.

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

runtime/mercury_init.h:
util/mkinit.c:
scripts/c2init.in:
	Added a function `mercury__load_aditi_rl_code()' to the generated
	`<module>_init.c' file which throws all the RL code for the program
	at the database. This should be called at connection time by
	`aditi__connect'.
	Added an option `--aditi' which controls the output
	`mercury__load_aditi_rl_code()'.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Document the new files.

Mmakefile:
bindist/Mmakefile:
	Don't distribute extras/aditi yet.

5c955626f2 These changes make var' and term' polymorphic.
Estimated hours taken: 20

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

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

NEWS:
	Mention the changes to the standard library.

library/term.m:
	Make term, var and var_supply polymorphic.
	Add new predicates:
		term__generic_term/1
		term__coerce/2
		term__coerce_var/2
		term__coerce_var_supply/2

library/varset.m:
	Make varset polymorphic.
	Add the new predicate:
		varset__coerce/2

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Introduce type equivalences for the different kinds of
	vars, terms, and varsets that we use (tvar and tvarset
	were already there but have been changed to use the
	polymorphic var and term).

	Also change the various kinds of items to use the appropriate
	kinds of var/varset.

compiler/*.m:
	Thousands of boring changes to make the compiler type correct
	with the different types for type, program and inst vars and
	varsets.

7d0e4822d1 Fix several bugs in the runtime engine to do with thread-safe execution.
Estimated hours taken: 15

Fix several bugs in the runtime engine to do with thread-safe execution.

Add a new flag to pragma c_code/import to allow programmers to specify
whether or not the C code is thread-safe or not, and modify code generation
to put a lock around C code that isn't thread_safe.

runtime/mercury_thread.{c,h}:
	Add a global lock.
	Change the handling of thread creation. create_thread now takes
	a "closure" (a C struct with a fn pointer and an argument to pass
	the function) which it calls in the new thread. (The same mechanism
	is used in the Boehm collector), or NULL which causes the thread
	to wait for work to appear in the Mercury runqueue.

runtime/mercury_context.c:
	initialize the global lock.

runtime/mercury_engine.{c,h}:
	Add a new field to the MercuryEngine structre which is used to
	store a list of saved thread ids. These were being saved in a
	local variable in call_engine_inner which was a bug because
	call_engine_inner's (C) stack frame gets scribbled on by Mercury
	execution. For more detail see the comments in mercury_engine.h

runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
	Use the new interface to create_thread.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Parse either a single attribute or a list of attributes instead
	of just 'may_call_mercury' in pragma c code and pragma import.
	These are stored in an abstract type 'pragma_c_code_attributes'
	that uses a bit array (aka int) to store the attributes.

compiler/pragma_c_gen.m:
	Get the code generator to emit c code to obtain and release the
	global lock for pragma c code that isn't thread_safe.

compiler/<various>.m:
	Change may_call_mercury to pragma_c_code_attributes.

doc/reference_manual.m:
	Document the change to pragma c code.

scripts/mgnuc.in:
	Pass some extra C flags for thread-safe compilation for Linux.

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:

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/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.

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.

	Minor changes to conform to changes to the HLDS and LLDS data

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.

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.

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:

	it's promised to be pure.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/mercury_to_goedel.m:

	Handle promise_pure pragma.  Handle purity/2 wrapper used to
	handle user-written impurity annotations on goals.
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.

	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:

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:

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:
