1ed891b7b1 Introduce a mechanism for extending the det and nondet stacks when needed.
Estimated hours taken: 24
Branches: main

Introduce a mechanism for extending the det and nondet stacks when needed.
The mechanism takes the form of a new grade component, .exts ("extend stacks").

While the new mechanism may be useful in its own right, it is intended mainly
to support a new implementation of minimal model tabling, which will use a
separate Mercury context for each distinct subgoal. Each context has its own
det and nondet stack. Clearly, we can't have hundreds of contexts each with
megabyte sized det stacks. The intention is that the stacks of the subgoals
will start small, and be expanded when needed.

The runtime expansion of stacks doesn't work yet, but it is unnecessarily
hard to debug without an installed compiler that understands the new grade
component, which is why this diff will be committed before that is fixed.

	Handle the new grade component.

runtime/mercury_memory_zones.h:
	Add MR_ prefixes to the names of the fields of the zone structure.

	Record not just the actual size of each zone, which includes various
	kinds of buffers, but also the desired size of the zone exclusive of
	buffers.

	Format the documentation of the zone structure fields more
	comprehensibly.

runtime/mercury_memory_zones.c:
	Instead of implementing memalign if it is not provided by the operating
	system, implement a function that allows us to reallocate the returned
	area of memory.

	Provide a prototype implementation of memory zone extension. It doesn't
	work yet.

	Factor out the code for setting up redzones, since it is now needed
	in more than place.

	Convert to four space indentation.

	Make the debugging functions a bit more flexible.

runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
	Conform to the improved interface of the debugging functions.

runtime/mercury_overflow.h:
runtime/mercury_std.h:
	Move a generally useful macro from mercury_overflow.h to mercury_std.h.

runtime/mercury_stacks.c:
	Add functions to extend the stacks.

runtime/mercury_stacks.h:
	Add the tests required to invoke the functions that extend the stacks.

	Add the macros needed by the change to compiler/llds.m.

	Convert to four space indentation.

runtime/mercury_conf.h.in:
	Prepare for the use of the posix_memalign function, which is the
	current replacement of the obsolete memalign library function.
	We don't yet use it.

runtime/mercury_context.h:
	Format the documentation of the context structure fields more
	comprehensibly.

	Put MR_ prefixes on the names of the fields of some structures
	that didn't previously have them.

	In some cases, add missing MR_ prefixes to function names
	and/or convert to four space indentation.

runtime/mercury_engine.h:
	Add a new low level debug flag for debugging stack extensions.

	Format the documentation of the engine structure fields more
	comprehensibly.

	Convert to four space indentation.

runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
	Document a new low level debug flag for debugging stack extensions.

compiler/compile_target_code.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
compiler/options.m:
	Handle the new grade component.

compiler/llds.m:
	Add two new kinds of LLDS instructions, save_maxfr and restore_maxfr.
	These are needed because the nondet stack may be relocated between
	saving and the restoring of maxfr, and the saved maxfr may point to
	the old stack. In .exts grades, these instructions will save not a
	pointer but the offset of maxfr from the start of the nondet stack,
	since offsets are not affected by the movement of the nondet stack.

	Use the new instructions where relevant. (Some more work may be
	needed on this score; the relevant places are marked with XXX.)

compiler/*.m:
	Import only one module per line in the modules of the compiler
	where my previous diff did not already do so.

	Misc other cleanups.

	Where relevant, use the new mechanism in tree.m.

compiler/tree.m:
	Fix a performance problem I noticed while update :- import_module
	items. Instead of supplying a function to convert lists of trees
	to a tree, make the tree data structure able to hold a list of
	subtrees directly. This reduces the number of times where we have to
	convert list of trees to trees that are sticks just to stay within
	the old definition of what a tree is.

601fe20aba Simplify the structure of the compiler by removing the cycle
Estimated hours taken: 3.5
Branches: main

Simplify the structure of the compiler by removing the cycle
parse_tree -> backend_libs -> check_hlds -> parse_tree
from the package dependency graph.

I've done this by factoring out the code in backend_libs.foreign
and backend_libs.name_mangle that is needed by the frontend of
the compiler and putting it in a new module, parse_tree.prog_foreign.
This removes the dependency between the parse_tree and backend_libs
packages.

The obvious downside to this is that the name mangler is now
split in two, although such a division was always in implicit
in the predicates of the name_mangle module anyway, ie. between
those bits that operate on the HLDS/MLDS/LLDS level data structures
and those that don't.

compiler/name_mangle.m:
compiler/foreign.m:
compiler/prog_foreign.m:
	Move code for dealing with foreign language procedures that
	is required by the parse_tree package into a new module,
	prog_foreign.

	Update the formatting in some of these modules so that
	they match our current coding standard.

compiler/*.m:
	Update to reflect the above change.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Include the new module.

	Fix some spelling errors.

86ac840326 Implement a mechanism to generate the information required to determine the
Estimated hours taken: weeks
Branches: main

Implement a mechanism to generate the information required to determine the
algorithmic complexity of selected procedures.

The basis of the mechanism is a program transformation that wraps up the body
of each selected procedure in code that detects top-level (non-recursive)
calls, and for each top-level call, records the sizes of the input arguments
and information about the cost of the call. For now, the cost information
consists only of the number of cells and words allocated during the call,
but there is provision for later adding information from a real-time clock.

compiler/complexity.m:
	A new module containing the new transformation.

compiler/transform_hlds.m:
	Add complexity.m to the list of submodules.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Invoke the new module.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Mention the new module.

compiler/options.m:
	Add an option, --experimental-complexity. Its argument is a filename
	that specifies the list of procedures to transform.

	Add an option, --no-allow-inlining, to disallow all inlining.
	This is simpler to use than specifying several options to turn off
	each potential reason to inline procedures.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document the new options. The documentation present now is only a
	shell; it will be expanded later.

compiler/table_gen.m:
compiler/goal_util.m:
	Move the predicate for creating renamings from table_gen.m to
	goal_util.m, since complexity.m also needs it now. In the process,
	make it more general by allowing outputs to have more complex modes
	than simply `out'.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Fix a bug exposed by the new transformation: when renaming goals
	(e.g. for quantification), rename the variables holding information
	about term sizes.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Disable inlining if experimental complexity analysis is enabled.

compiler/compile_target_code.m:
	Pass the --experimental-complexity option on to the linker.

library/term_size_prof_builtin.m:
	Add the Mercury predicates that serve as interfaces to the primitives
	needed by the experimental complexity transformation.

runtime/mercury_term_size.[ch]:
	Add the implementations of the primitives needed by the experimental
	complexity transformation.

runtime/mercury_wrapper.[ch]:
	Add global variables holding counters of the numbers of words and cells
	allocated so far.

runtime/mercury_heap.h:
	Update these global variables when allocating memory.

runtime/mercury_complexity.h:
	New file that contains the definition of the data structures holding
	the data collected by the experimental complexity transformation.
	This is separate from mercury_term_size.h, because it needs to be
	#included in mercury_init.h, the header file of the mkinit-generated
	<program>_init.c files.

runtime/mercury_init.h:
runtime/mercury_imp.h:
	#include mercury_complexity.h.

util/mkinit.c:
	Define and initialize the data structures holding complexity
	information when given the -X option (mkinit doesn't have long
	options).

	Fix some deviations from our coding style.

scripts/parse_ml_options.sh-subr.in:
	Accept the --experiment-complexity option.

scripts/c2init.in:
	Pass the --experiment-complexity option on to mkinit.c.

tools/bootcheck:
	Preserve the files containing the results of complexity analysis,
	if they exist.

tools/makebatch:
	Allow the specification of EXTRA_MLFLAGS in the generated
	Mmake.stage.params files.

Estimated hours taken: 17
Branches: main

This adds a module mdbcomp__trace_counts that reads in the
.mercury_trace_counts files produced by the compiler's trace mechanism.
The format of said files was slightly changed.

As the new module is to be used by the compiler and the debugger, it is
placed in the mdbcomp module.  This required bringing some types from the
compiler into a new module within mdbcomp.

browser/trace_counts.m:
	New module for reading execution trace summaries.

browser/prim_data.m:
	New module holding types and predicates moved in from the compiler.
	Types:
		pred_or_func, sym_name, module_name, proc_label,
		special_pred_id, trace_port
	Predicates:
		string_to_sym_name, insert_module_qualifier

	The mode field of proc_label is now an int instead of a proc_id
	to avoid pulling proc_id into mdbcomp.

browser/mdbcomp.m:
	Add trace_counts and prim_data to the mdbcomp module.

browser/declarative_execution.m:
	Renamed mdb's definition of module_name to flat_module_name
	to avoid conflicts with the definition in mdbcomp__prim_data.

runtime/mercury_trace_base.c:
	In the format of .mercury_trace_counts, write module and predicate
	names now use quoted atom syntax so that names with spaces and
	non-printable characters can be machine-parsed.

	Many changes to account for movement of types, and the change to

514d3e2891 This is phase 1 of a 2 phase diff to get Mercury shared libs working on Mac OS
Estimated hours taken: 20
Branches: main

This is phase 1 of a 2 phase diff to get Mercury shared libs working on Mac OS
X.  In this phase support for three new compiler options (documented below) are
added.  In the next phase changes to the configure scripts that use these
options will be committed.

Darwin shared libraries have the extension `dylib' instead of `so'.  Also
objects that link to a shared library on Darwin don't need to be told the
runtime path in which they should look for the libraries, instead the
shared libraries themselves remember where they will be eventually installed
(called the install-name) and any object which links in the shared library will
get the install-name from the shared library at link time.  When a shared
library is built it has to be told where it will be installed which is what
the libtool -install_name option is used for on Darwin.

This diff only enables shared libraries on Darwin, not "bundles" which are
shared objects that can be loaded dynamically at runtime using something like
dlopen.  Therefore the interactive query tool in the debugger still doesn't
work on Mac OS X.

Added three new compiler options :

--shlib-linker-use-install-name :
	A boolean flag to tell the compiler to use the -install_name option
	when building shared libraries.  When this flag is set the following
	options have no effect: --linker-rpath-flag, --linker-rpath-separator,
	--shlib-linker-rpath-flag, --shlib-linker-rpath-separator.

--shlib-linker-install-name-flag :
	The flag name to use ("-install_name" for Darwin).

--shlib-linker-install-name-path :
	The path where the shared library will eventually end up, excluding the
	file name.  The file name is appended to the end before the option
	is passed on to the linker.

compiler/compile_target_code.m
	Passed the install-name options to the linker and made RpathsOpts empty
	if the --shlib-linker-use-install-name flag is set.

compiler/modules.m
	Added get_install_name_option/4 predicate to get the option string to
	set the install-name for a shared library.

compiler/options.m
	Added --shlib-linker-install-name-path,
	--shlib-linker-install-name-flag and --shlib-linker-use-install-name
	options.

e854a5f9d9 Major improvements to tabling, of two types.
Estimated hours taken: 32
Branches: main

Major improvements to tabling, of two types. The first is the implementation
of the loopcheck and memo forms of tabling for model_non procedures, and the
second is a start on the implementation of a new method of implementing
minimal model tabling, one that has the potential for a proper fix of the
problem that we currently merely detect with the pneg stack (the detection
is followed by a runtime abort). Since this new method relies on giving each
own generator its own stack, the grade component denoting it is "mmos"
(minimal model own stack). The true name of the existing method is changed
from "mm" to "mmsc" (minimal model stack copy). The grade component "mm"
is now a shorthand for "mmsc"; when the new method works, "mm" will be changed
to be a shorthand for "mmos".

compiler/table_gen.m:
	Implement the transformations required by the loopcheck and memo
	tabling of model_non procedures, and the minimal model own stack
	transformation.

	The new implementation transformations use foreign_procs with extra
	args, since there is no point in implementing them both that way and
	with separate calls to library predicates. This required making the
	choice of which method to use at the top level of each transformation.

	Fix an oversight that hasn't caused problems yet but may in the future:
	mark goals wrapping the original goals as not impure for determinism
	computations.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Handle the new arrangement of the options for minimal model tabling.
	Detect simultaneous calls for both forms of minimal model tabling,
	and generate an error message. Allow for more than one error message
	generated at once; report them all once rather than separately.

runtime/mercury_tabling_macros.h:
	Add a macro for allocating answer blocks without requiring them to be
	pointed to directly by trie nodes.

runtime/mercury_minimal_model.[ch]:
	The structure type holding answer lists is now in mercury_tabling.h,
	since it is now also needed by memo tabling of model_non predicates.
	It no longer has a field for an answer num, because while it is ok
	to require a separate grade for debugging minimal model tabling,
	it is not ok to require a separate grade for debugging memo tabling
	of model_non predicates. Instead of printing the answer numbers,
	print the answers themselves when we need to identify solutions
	for debugging.

	Change function names, macro names, error messages etc where this is
	useful to distinguish the two kinds of minimal model tabling.

	Fix some oversights wrt transient registers.

runtime/mercury_context.[ch]:
runtime/mercury_engine.[ch]:

	With own stack tabling, each subgoal has its own context, so record

	The main computation's context is the exception: it has no owner.

	Record not just the main context, but also the contexts of subgoals
	in the engine.

	Add variables for holding the sizes of the det and nondet stacks
	of the contexts of subgoals (which should in general be smaller
	than the sizes of the corresponding stacks of the main context),
	and initialize them as needed.

	Initialize the variables holding the sizes of the gen, cut and pneg

cdf0383b52 Fix a bunch of problems with tabling that I identified in Uppsala.
Estimated hours taken: 32
Branches: main

Fix a bunch of problems with tabling that I identified in Uppsala. These fall
into two categories.

First, the tabling transformations we were using were dividing work up
too finely. This had three bad effects. First, it caused too much time to be
spent on transmitting data to and from library predicates. Second, it made the
transformations hard to document and hard to explain in a paper. Third, it
caused us to misidentify just what the various forms of tabling have in common,
and what forms of tabling work for what determinisms. To fix this problem,
this diff reorients table_builtin.m and table_gen.m from being divided
primarily by determinism to being divided by evaluation method.

Second, we weren't being careful in separating out the parts of the tabling
data structures that are needed only for debugging the tabling system itself.
The fix for this is to introduce a new grade flag, MR_MINIMAL_MODEL_DEBUG,
intended for use by implementors only, to govern whether the tabling data
structures include debug-only components. (If this flag weren't a grade flag,
the sizes of data structures created in files with different values of this
flag could be inconsistent, which is something you don't want when debugging
the complex code of the tabling infrastructure.)

compiler/table_gen.m:
	Reorganize the simple (loopcheck and memo) tabling transformations
	completely. Instead of separate transformations for model_det and
	model_semi predicates, have separate transformations for loopcheck
	and memo predicates, since this makes it easier to see (and to ensure)
	that the transformation follows the required scheme. Instead of
	generating nested if-then-elses, generate switches when possible.

	For model_semi loopcheck and memo predicates, generate Mercury code
	that obeys our scope rules by not binding output variables in the
	condition of the one remaining if-then-else.

	Finetune the minimal model tabling transformation by combining some
	operations where this improves clarity and performance.

	Order the transformation predicates logically, and move the
	documentation of each form of tabling next to the code implementing
	that form of tabling.

	Attach call_table_gen markers to the setup goals that now all
	loopcheck, memo and minimal model tabled predicates have,
	to avoid having to special case the last lookup goal, and to avoid
	having to have separate code for lookups in call tables versus answer
	tables.

	Generate unique and more meaningful variable names. Change some
	predicate names to be more meaningful, both here and in the
	transformed code.

	Factor out some common code, e.g. for generating lookup goals,
	for generating instmap_deltas and for attaching hide_debug_event
	markers to goals.

	Report errors in cases where the arguments of a tabled predicate
	aren't completely input or output.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Be more strict about the determinisms of tabled predicates; permit
	only the determinisms we really support in all cases, and do not
	permit the ones that may happen to work in some cases.

	Conform to the change of the name of a builtin.

	Provide a semipure analog of the imp predicate, a call to which makes
	predicates semipure rather than impure, for use in table_builtin.m.

library/table_builtin.m:
runtime/mercury_tabling_preds.h:
	Change the tabling primitives in the ways required by the changes to
	the tabling transformations.

	Group the primitives by the tabling methods they support, and change
	their names to reflect this.

	Change the implementation of each of the affected predicates to be
	nothing more than the invocation of a macro defined in the new header
	file runtime/mercury_tabling_preds.h. The objective of this change
	is to make it possible for table_gen.m to replace sequences of calls
	to predicates in table_builtin.m with a single extended foreign_proc
	goal whose body just invokes the corresponding macros in sequence.
	That change should improve performance by allowing the variables
	that flow from one tabling primitive to another to stay in x86
	registers, instead of being copied to and from Mercury abstract
	machines registers, which on the x86 aren't real machine registers.
	Benchmarking in Uppsala verified that this is a major cost.

	Mark the foreign types used for tabling as can_pass_as_mercury_type;
	this was the intended use of that assertion. Make them private to the
	module, since the rest of the compiler can now handle this.

	Delete the implementations of the predicates for duplicate checking
	and for returning answers for completed subgoals. Profiling with gprof
	has shown their performance to be critical to the performance of
	minimal model tabling overall, and even with our recent changes,
	the compiler still can't create optimal C code for them. They are
	now implemented with handwritten code in mercury_minimal_model.c.

library/term.m:
	Add two utility predicates for use by table_gen.m.

	Conform to the presence of debugging fields in tabling data structures
	only if MR_MINIMAL_MODEL_DEBUG is defined.

	Collect a lot more statistics than before.

	Reorder some functions.

	Instead of saving the whole generator stack each time, which the new
	statistics showed to have O(n^2) behavior on some benchmarks, save only
	the segment we need to save.

runtime/mercury_tabling.h:
	Conform to the fact that loopcheck and memo predicates now have
	separate sets of status values, and import mercury_tabling_preds.h.

	Bring these tests up to date with our coding guidelines, since they
	may now appear in papers.

c80d143cc8 The following change is only 98% complete, not 100%.
Estimated hours taken: 120
Branches: main

The following change is only 98% complete, not 100%. I am committing it in
this state because (1) we pass many more test cases in deep profiling grade
with it than without it, and (2) the double maintanance involved in fixing
CVS conflicts is preventing me from doing the last 2%.

Get the deep profiler to work for code that sets up to catch exceptions,
which for the last year or more has included the compiler, and to get it
almost working for code that actually catching exceptions.

The basic problem is that code that throws exceptions will in general cause
several calls to "return" without executing the exit or fail port codes that
the deep profiling transformation inserted into their bodies, and this leaves
the data structure being built by the deep profiling inconsistent. The solution
uses the same approach as we have adopted for the debugger: have the code that
handles the throwing of exceptions simulate a return from each call between
the throw and the catch, updating the deep profiling data structures as needed.

This requires us to be able to walk the stack at runtime not just in debugging
grades but also in deep profiling grades. Since the debugger already has the
mechanisms required for this, we reuse them. The procedure layouts used by the
debugger were designed to have three segments: the procedure stack walk
information, the procedure id, and the execution tracing information. We now
modify this design to make the third segment contain two pointers: to the
execution tracing information (for use by the debugger), and to the procedure's
proc_static structure (for use by deep profiling). Each pointer will be null
unless the pointed-to structure is required by compile-time options.

This common use by the debugger and by deep profiling of the stack-walk
structure and the procedure id structure (which deep profiling used to
generate independently and possibly redundantly) required some rearrangement
of the compiler's version of these data structures.

To make this rearrangement simpler, this diff removes a capability that
we theoretically supported but never used: turning on stack traces without
turning on execution tracing and vice versa. After this diff, stack tracing
is enabled if and only if either execution tracing or deep profiling is
enabled.

The diff also includes improvements in the debugging infrastructure for
debugging deep profiling, which were necessary for the implementation of the
rest of the changes.

compiler/deep_profiling.m:
	The code in exception.m needs to know the locations of the variables
	that we would pass to the exit or fail port code, so it can simulate
	leaving the procedure invocation through the exception port. Without
	this information, throwing an exception leaves the deep profiling
	data structures of the procedure invocations between throw and catch
	in an inconsistent state.

	Deep_profiling.m creates these variables, but it doesn't know where
	they will be at runtime, so it records their identities; the code
	generator will allocate them stack slots and record the numbers of
	these stack slots for placement in the now expanded proc layout
	structures. Deep profiling used to generate static data structures
	separately from the HLDS, but since the code generator now needs
	access to them, we store their information in proc_infos in the HLDS.

	Instead of passing the addresses of proc_static structures to the deep
	profiling port procedures, pass the address of proc_layout structures,
	since the information about the identities of procedures are now stored
	not in the proc_static structure, but in the proc_layout structure
	that points to the proc_static structure.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/layout.m:
	Move the definitions of the static data structures generated by deep
	profiling from layout.m to hlds_pred.m, to allow deep_profiling.m
	to store them in proc_infos.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/rtti.m:
	Move the definition of rtti_proc_label from rtti.m to hlds_pred.m,
	since some of the new data structures in hlds_pred.m need it. Despite
	its name, the rtti_proc_label type doesn't contain any info that
	doesn't belong in the HLDS.

	Add some information to the rtti_proc_label type that is now needed
	by deep profiling, e.g. record determinisms instead of just code
	models. Record explicitly the outcome of some tests that used to be
	duplicated in more than one place in the compiler, e.g. for whether
	the procedure (as opposed to the predicate) is imported. Change some
	of the field names to be more precise about the field's meaning.

compiler/code_gen.m:
	Transmit the contents of the deep profiling data structures stored in
	the proc_info by deep_profiling.m to continuation_info.m, together
	with the layout structures created for execution tracing and the
	identities of the variables needed for handling exceptions,
	when code generation for a procedure is complete.

	After the goal that generates these variables, save them to stack
	for use by the exception handler.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add a feature to mark the goal that generates the deep profiling
	variables needed by the exception handler.

compiler/hlds_llds.m:
	Add a utility predicate for new code in code_gen.m

compiler/continuation_info.m:
	Hold the deep profiling information computed by code_gen.m for use by
	stack_layout.m.

compiler/layout.m:
compiler/layout_out.m:
	Update the definitions of the data structures describing procedure
	layouts, and the code writing them out, to reflect the use of some
	parts of procedure layouts by deep profiling as well as debugging.

	Change the layout structures generated by deep profiling to use
	rtti_proc_labels, which are backend independent, instead of
	proc_labels, which are specific to the LLDS backend.

	Conform to the changes in runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h.

compiler/stack_layout.m:
	Generate the updated version of proc_layout structures.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/global_data.m:
	Conform to the fact that deep profiling no longer generates layout
	structures separate from proc_infos.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Register proc_layout structures instead of proc_static structures
	for use by runtime/mercury_deep_profiling.c.

compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
	Rename the require_tracing option as exec_trace, since this more
	directly reflects its meaning.

	Instead of having --debug set both require_tracing and stack_trace,
	make it set (be the user-visible name of) just exec_trace;
	the value of stack_trace is implied.

	Turn off the specialization of deep profiling for self-tail-recursive
	procedures for now. Due to the changes made by this diff in the data
	structures involved in debugging, it cannot be debugged until this
	change has been installed. Handling the full language is more important
	than a specialization that reduces only stack space overheads, not
	runtime overheads.

compiler/compile_target_code.m:
	Conform to the changes in options.m and runtime/mercury_grade.h.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Replace the deep_profiling_proc_static cons_id, and its associated tag,
	to deep_profiling_proc_layout, since we now generate addresses of proc
	layout structures, not of proc_static structures.

compiler/code_util.m:
	Simplify some code based on the new info in rtti_proc_labels.

compiler/bytecode_gen.m:
compiler/dependency_graph.m:
compiler/higher_order.m:
compiler/hlds_out.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
compiler/ml_code_util.m:
compiler/ml_unify_gen.m:
compiler/opt_debug.m:
compiler/proc_label.m:
compiler/prog_rep.m:
compiler/rl_exprn.m:
compiler/rtti_out.m:
compiler/rtti_to_mlds.m:
compiler/saved_vars.m:
compiler/switch_util.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Minor changes to conform to the change from deep_profiling_proc_static
	to deep_profiling_proc_layout, to the change in the structure of
	rtti_proc_labels, to the changes in types of layout.m, and/or to the
	new goal feature.

deep_profiler/measurements.m:
	Reserve space for exception counts.

deep_profiler/html_format.m:
	Add a column for exception counts.

deep_profiler/profile.m:
deep_profiler/read_profile.m:
	Rename the data structures referring to compiler generated unify,
	compare and index predicates to avoid misleading names: they are
	not the only compiler generated predicates.

deep_profiler/read_profile.m:
runtime/mercury_deep_profiling.c:
	Update the string that identifies deep profiling data files.
	This is necessary because the format has changed: it now includes
	information about exception port counts.

library/exception.m:
	In deep profiling grades, execute the exception port code for every
	procedure invocation between a throw and a catch, using the procedure
	layout structures now generated by the compiler for every procedure.
	Rename the function involved to reflect its new, more general purpose.

	Update the definitions of the hand-written proc_static and proc_layout
	structures for the procedures implemented via hand-written C code.

	Indent C preprocessor directives and foreign_procs according to our
	coding standards.

library/profiling_builtin.m:
	Change the parameters of the call port code procedures from proc_static
	to proc_layout. Reach the proc_static structure from the proc_layout
	structure when needed. Include the proc_layout structure in any
	messages from assertion failures.

	Add some conditionally compiled debugging code.

	Give some variables better names.

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
runtime/mercury_builtin_types.c:
	Move the macros required to create the proc_static structures
	of unify and compare predicates from mercury_type_info.h
	to mercury_builtin_types.c, since the latter is the only file
	that needs them.

	Use the same macros for creating the proc_static structures
	of hand-written unify, compare and compare_reprentation predicates
	as for user defined predicates. This required changing their naming
	scheme.

runtime/mercury_unify_compare_body.h:
	Conform to the new naming scheme.

runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
	Provide the mechanism for mercury_unify_compare_body.h to conform
	to the new naming scheme.

	Remove the definitions of the proc_static structures for
	hand-written unify, compare and compare_reprentation predicates,
	since these now have to be defined together with the corresponding
	proc_layout structures in mercury_builtin_types.c.

runtime/mercury_builtin_types.[ch]:
	Update the definitions of the hand-written proc_static and proc_layout
	structures for the procedures implemented via hand-written C code,
	and add the required declarations first.

	Handle deep profiling of compare_representation as well as unify
	and compare predicates on builtin types.

	Handle deep profiling of compare_representation on user-defined types,
	since this is done entirely in the runtime, not by compiler generated
	predicates.

runtime/mercury_builtin_types_proc_layouts.h:
	New header file containing the declarations of the proc layout
	structures of the unify, compare and index predicates of builtin types.
	Logically, these declarations belong in mercury_builtin_types.h,
	but putting them there causes problems for the linker; the details
	are explained in the file itself.

runtime/Mmakefile:
	Add the new header file.

runtime/mercury_minimal_model.[ch]:
	Update the definitions of the hand-written proc_static and proc_layout
	structures for the procedures implemented via hand-written C code,
	and add the required declarations first.

runtime/mercury_grade.h:
	Replace the MR_REQUIRE_TRACING grade option with MR_EXEC_TRACING.
	Besides being better named, the MR_EXEC_TRACING option implies
	MR_STACK_TRACE.

	Besides the overall binary compatibility version number, add subsidiary
	version numbers for binary compatibility in deep profiling and
	debugging grades. These will make it easier to bootstrap changes
	(such as this) that affect binary compatibility only in such grades.

runtime/mercury_trace_base.c:
trace/mercury_trace.c:
	Conform to the new names of the configuration parameters.

runtime/mercury_hand_compare_body.h:
runtime/mercury_hand_unify_body.h:
runtime/mercury_hand_unify_compare_body.h:
runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
tools/make_port_code:
	Pass proc_layout structures instead of proc_static structures
	to deep profiling port routines.

runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
	Make MR_DEEP_PROFILING as well as MR_EXEC_TRACING imply MR_STACK_TRACE,
	since deep profiling now needs stack tracing. (MR_STACK_TRACE needs
	to be set in this file, because tests in this file depend on knowing
	its value, and this file is among the first files included (in this
	case indirectly) in mercury_imp.h.)

	Document the macros controlling the debugging of deep profiling.

	Enable printing of label names when the relevant deep profiling
	debugging macro is set.

runtime/mercury_debug.c:
runtime/mercury_deep_rec_depth_actions.h:
runtime/mercury_deep_rec_depth_body.h:
runtime/mercury_exception_catch_body.h:
	Get to proc_statics via proc_layouts.

runtime/mercury_deep_call_port_body.c:
runtime/mercury_deep_leave_port_body.c:
	Get to proc_statics via proc_layouts.

	Allow the debugger to disable deep profiling in Mercury code that is
	part of the debugger, not of the user program being executed.

	Add some more assertions.

runtime/mercury_engine.[ch]:
	Add a new debugging flag that controls at runtime whether we generate
	a human readable Deep.debug equivalent to the binary Deep.data files.
	(We already had a mechanism for controlling this at compile time,
	but this isn't flexible enough.)

runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
	Allow this new debugging flag to be set from MERCURY_OPTIONS.

runtime/mercury_deep_profiling.[ch]:
	Respect this new debugging flag.

	Update the hand-written proc_static structures representing the runtime
	system.

	Print out addresses of proc_layout as well as proc_static structures
	when assertions fail.

	Add a field to the measurement structure for exception port counts,
	and write out this field with the other port counts.

	Remove procedure id information from proc_static structures,
	deep profiling now uses the procedure id in the proc_layout structure.

	Add to proc_static structures fields that specify where, if anywhere,
	the variables needed by exception.m to executed the exception port code
	are in the procedure's stack frame.

	Define a global flag that allows the debugger to disable deep
	profiling in Mercury code that is part of the debugger, not of the
	user program being executed.

	Increase type safety by providing two versions of the function
	for registering proc_layouts, one for the proc_layout structures
	of user-defined predicates and one for unify, compare and index
	predicates.

	Fix a bug that occurs only if MR_DEEP_PROFILING_EXPLICIT_CALL_COUNTS is
	defined (which it usually isn't): the initial call count was wrong.

runtime/mercury_deep_profiling_hand.h:
	Fix a bug: the handwritten code saving deep profiling variables was
	saving them in slots that didn't belong to the relevant stack frame.

	Update to conform to the modified definitions of proc_static structures
	and the fact that we now reach them via proc_layout structures.

runtime/mercury_exception_catch_body.h:
runtime/mercury_stacks.h:
	Fix the other side of the bug in mercury_deep_profiling_hand.h
	by reserving the right number of stack slots in the stack frames
	of the various modes of exception__catch. Make it harder to make
	the same bug in the future by getting the needed info from the
	place in mercury_stacks.h that defines the structure of the relevant
	stack frame.

runtime/mercury_proc_id.h:
	Rename the procedure id structure fields referring to compiler
	generated unify, compare and index predicates: they are not the only
	compiler-generated predicates.

runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
	Change procedure layout structures to allow them to be used for deep
	profiling as well as for debugging, as described in the prologue above.

	We don't need the capability to support label layout structures with
	links to misnamed proc layout structures, and supporting it is
	inconvenient, so delete the capability.

runtime/mercury_debug.c:
runtime/mercury_deep_profiling_hand.h:
runtime/mercury_layout_util.c:
runtime/mercury_ml_expand_body.h:
runtime/mercury_stack_trace.c:
runtime/mercury_types.h:
trace/mercury_trace_external.c:
	Conform to the new names of the procedure id structure fields.

runtime/mercury_std.h:
	Add some more arities for MR_PASTE for use in some of the modified
	modules in the runtime.

trace/mercury_trace_internal.c:
	Disable deep profiling actions in Mercury code that is part of the
	debugger, not of the program being debugged.

scripts/init_grade_options.sh-subr:
scripts/parse_grade_options.sh-subr:
	Make changes parallel to the ones in runtime/mercury_grade.h: delete
	--stack-trace as an independent option, and make --debug set its
	own option, not --require-tracing.

scripts/canonical_grade.sh-subr:
scripts/final_grade_options.sh-subr:
scripts/c2init.in:
scripts/mgnuc.in:
scripts/ml.in:
	Conform to the changes in grade options for debugging and for deep
	profiling.

tools/bootcheck:
	If Mmake.stage.{browser,deep,library,runtime,trace}.params exist,
	copy them to become the file Mmake.$dir.params in stage2/$dir
	(where dir is derived from the name of the original file in the obvious
	way). This allows more flexibility in the creation of the stage2;
	for example, it allows some directories (e.g. runtime or library)
	to be compiled with more debugging than other directories (e.g.
	compiler). This may be required because compiling all directories
	with lots of debugging may cause the linker to thrash.

	Add an option, --disable-debug-libs, that clobbers the libraries
	that should be linked in only in debugging grades.

	To conserve disk space, remove Deep.data files created by the bootcheck
	by default. Add an option, --keep-deep-data, to preserve these files.

	Use a consistent mechanism (test -f) for testing the existence of
	all files whose existence is tested.

	When recording modification times, record the modification times
	of some more files.

tests/hard_coded/Mmakefile:
	In deep profiling grades, disable the test cases that we don't now
	pass in such grades, and document the reasons for their failure.

	Fix the misclassification of the write_binary test case.

A single invocation of mmc should suffice to compile a single-module program.
Previously this was true only if the program did not use fact tables; this
change makes it true even for programs using fact tables. The motivation
is the change to tests/tabling/sg.m, and the need for the convenience of
continuing to be able to compile it with a single command during development.

tests/tabling/sg.m:

ecdc285bc7 Split the existing browser library into two libraries, by making the
Estimated hours taken: 10
Branches: main

Split the existing browser library into two libraries, by making the
program_representation module into its own library. This is useful because
the compiler refers to program_representation.m, whose code thus needs to be
linked into compiler executables even if the compiler isn't compiled with
debugging enabled. By creating a new library for this module, we avoid any
chance of the linker dragging in the rest of the modules in the browser
library. (This is a problem with an upcoming diff.).

The name of the new library is "mdbcomp", because the intention is that it
contain code that is shared between the debugger and the compiler. This means
mostly the definitions of data structures that the compiler generates for the
debugger, and the predicates that operate on them.

Mmake.common.in:
	Allow MDB_COMP_ as a prefix for symbol names in the browser directory.

Mmake.workspace:
	Add a make variable holding for the name of the new library, and
	add the name to the relevant lists of libraries.

	Avoid duplicating the lists of filenames that need to be updated
	when adding new libraries or changing their names.

	Use make variables to refer to library names.

browser/mdbcomp.m:
browser/mer_mdbcomp.m:

browser/program_representation.m:
browser/browser_info.m:
	Move a predicate from program_representation.m to browser_info.m
	to avoid the mdbcomp library depend on the browser library, since
	this would negate the point of the exercise.

f007b45df8 Implement the infrastructure for term size profiling.
Estimated hours taken: 400
Branches: main

Implement the infrastructure for term size profiling. This means adding two
new grade components, tsw and tsc, and implementing them in the LLDS code
generator. In grades including tsw (term size words), each term is augmented
with an extra word giving the number of heap words it contains; in grades
including tsc (term size cells), each term is augmented with an extra word
giving the number of heap cells it contains. The extra word is at the start,
at offset -1, to leave almost all of the machinery for accessing the heap
unchanged.

For now, the only way to access term sizes is with a new mdb command,
"term_size <varspec>". Later, we will use term sizes in conjunction with
deep profiling to do experimental complexity analysis, but that requires
a lot more research. This diff is a necessary first step.

The implementation of term size profiling consists of three main parts:

- a source-to-source transform that computes the size of each heap cell
  when it is constructed (and increments it in the rare cases when a free
  argument of an existing heap cell is bound),

- a relatively small change to the code generator that reserves the extra
  slot in new heap cells, and

- extensions to the facilities for creating cells from C code to record
  the extra information we now need.

The diff overhauls polymorphism.m to make the source-to-source transform
possible. This overhaul includes separating type_ctor_infos and type_infos
as strictly as possible from each other, converting type_ctor_infos into
type_infos only as necessary. It also includes separating type_ctor_infos,
type_infos, base_typeclass_infos and typeclass_infos (as well as voids,
for clarity) from plain user-defined type constructors in type categorizations.
This change needs this separation because values of those four types do not
have size slots, but they ought to be treated specially in other situations
as well (e.g. by tabling).

The diff adds a new mdb command, term_size. It also replaces the proc_body
mdb command with new ways of using the existing print and browse commands
("print proc_body" and "browse proc_body") in order to make looking at
procedure bodies more controllable. This was useful in debugging the effect
of term size profiling on some test case outputs. It is not strictly tied
to term size profiling, but turns out to be difficult to disentangle.

compiler/size_prof.m:
	A new module implementing the source-to-source transform.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Mention the new module.

compiler/transform_hlds.m:
	Include size_prof as a submodule of transform_hlds.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	If term size profiling is enabled, invoke its source-to-source
	transform.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Extend construction unifications with an optional slot for recording
	the size of the term if the size is a constant, or the identity of the
	variable holding the size, if the size is not constant. This is
	needed by the source-to-source transform.

compiler/quantification.m:
	Treat the variable reference that may be in this slot as a nonlocal
	variable of construction unifications, since the code generator needs
	this.

compiler/compile_target_code.m:
	Handle the new grade components.

compiler/options.m:
	Implement the options that control term size profiling.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document the options and grade components that control term size
	profiling, and the term_size mdb command. The documentation is
	commented out for now.

	Modify the wording of the 'u' HLDS dump flag to include other details
	of unifications (e.g. term size info) rather than just unification
	categories.

	Document the new alternatives of the print and browse commands. Since
	they are for developers only, the documentation is commented out.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Handle the implications of term size profiling grades.

	Add a -D flag value to print HLDS components relevant to HLDS
	transformations.

compiler/modules.m:
	Import the new builtin library module that implements the operations
	needed by term size profiling automatically in term size profiling
	grades.

	Switch the predicate involved to use state var syntax.

compiler/prog_util.m:
	Add predicates and functions that return the sym_names of the modules
	needed by term size profiling.

compiler/code_info.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:
compiler/var_locn.m:
 	Reserve an extra slot in heap cells and fill them in in unifications
	marked by size_prof.

compiler/builtin_ops.m:
	Add term_size_prof_builtin.term_size_plus as a builtin, with the same
	implementation as int.+.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Disable warnings about clauses for builtins while the change to
	builtin_ops is bootstrapped.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Export predicates that generate goals to create type_infos and
	type_ctor_infos to add_to_construct.m. Rewrite their documentation
	to make it more detailed.

	Make orders of arguments amenable to the use of state variable syntax.

	Consolidate knowledge of which type categories have builtin unify and
	compare predicates in one place.

	Add code to leave the types of type_ctor_infos alone: instead of
	changing their types to type_info when used as arguments of other
	type_infos, create a new variable of type type_info instead, and
	use an unsafe_cast. This would make the HLDS closer to being type
	correct, but this new code is currently commented out, for two
	reasons. First, common.m is currently not smart enough to figure out
	that if X and Y are equal, then similar unsafe_casts of X and Y
	are also equal, and this causes the compiler do not detect some
	duplicate calls it used to detect. Second, the code generators
	are also not smart enough to know that if Z is an unsafe_cast of X,
	then X and Z do not need separate stack slots, but can use the same
	slot.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Add utility predicates for returning the types of type_infos and
	type_ctor_infos, for use by new code in polymorphism.m.

	Move some utility predicates here from other modules, since they
	are now used by more than one module.

	Rename the type `builtin_type' as `type_category', to better reflect
	what it does. Extend it to put the type_info, type_ctor_info,
	typeclass_info, base_typeclass_info and void types into categories
	of their own: treating these types as if they were a user-defined
	type (which is how they used to be classified) is not always correct.
	Rename the functor polymorphic_type to variable_type, since types
	such as list(T) are polymorphic, but they fall into the user-defined
	category. Rename user_type as user_ctor_type, since list(int) is not
	wholly user-defined but falls into this category. Rename pred_type
	as higher_order_type, since it also encompasses functions.

	Replace code that used to check for a few of the alternatives
	of this type with code that does a full switch on the type,
	to ensure that they are updated if the type definition ever
	changes again.

compiler/pseudo_type_info.m:
	Delete a predicate whose updated implementation is now in type_util.m.

compiler/mlds_to_c.m:
compiler/mlds_to_gcc.m:
compiler/mlds_to_il.m:
compiler/mlds_to_java.m:
	Still treat type_infos, type_ctor_infos, typeclass_infos and
	base_typeclass_infos as user-defined types, but prepare for when
	they won't be.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Require interface typeinfo liveness when term size profiling is
	enabled.

	Add term_size_profiling_builtin.increase_size as a
	no_type_info_builtin.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Print the size annotations on unifications if HLDS dump flags call
	for unification details. (The flag test is in the caller of the
	modified predicate.)

compiler/llds.m:
	Extend incr_hp instructions and data_addr_consts with optional fields
	that allow the code generator to refer to N words past the start of
	a static or dynamic cell. Term size profiling uses this with N=1.

	specify an optional offset, and specify the offset when required.

	size profiling grades, their use will get a C compiler error.

	Fix a bug caused by a missing backslash.

runtime/mercury_heap.h:
	Change the basic macros for allocating new heap cells to take
	an optional offset argument. If this is nonzero, the macros
	increment the returned address by the given number of words.
	Term size profiling specifies offset=1, reserving the extra
	word at the start (which is ignored by all components of the
	system except term size profiling) for holding the size of the term.

	Provide macros for preserving the old interface presented by this file
	to the extent possible. Since the old MR_create[123] and MR_list_cons
	macros did not specify type information, they had to be changed
	to take additional arguments. This affects only hand-written C code.

	Call new diagnostic macros that can help debug heap allocations.

	Document why the macros in this files must expand to expressions
	instead of statements, evn though the latter would be preferable
	(e.g. by allowing them to declare and use local variables without
	depending on gcc extensions).

	behind them if MR_DEBUG_HEAP_ALLOC is defined.

	Update the debugging routines for hand-allocated cells to print the

	grades.

	Reduce code duplication by using a now standard macro for copying
	strings.

runtime/mercury_grade.h:

runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
	Document the C macros used to control the two new grade components,
	as well as MR_DEBUG_HEAP_ALLOC.

	Detect incompatibilities between high level code and profiling.

runtime/mercury_term_size.[ch]:
	A new module to house a function to find and return term sizes
	stored in heap cells.

runtime/mercury_proc_id.h:
runtime/mercury_univ.h:
	New header files. mercury_proc_id.h contains the (unchanged)
	definition of MR_Proc_Id, while mercury_univ.h contains the
	definitions of the macros for manipulating univs that used to be
	in mercury_type_info.h, updated to use the new macros for allocating
	memory.

	In the absence of these header files, the following circularity
	would ensue:

	mercury_deep_profiling.h includes mercury_stack_layout.h
		- needs definition of MR_Proc_Id
	mercury_stack_layout.h needs mercury_type_info.h
		- needs definition of MR_PseudoTypeInfo
	mercury_type_info.h needs mercury_heap.h
		- needs heap allocation macros for MR_new_univ_on_hp
	mercury_heap.h includes mercury_deep_profiling.h
		- needs MR_current_call_site_dynamic for recording allocations

	Breaking the circular dependency in two places, not just one, is to
	minimize similar problems in the future.

	In non-term-size-profiling grades, it prints an error message.

	Replace the "proc_body" command with optional arguments to the "print"
	and "browse" commands.

doc/user_guide.tex:
	Add documentation of the term_size mdb command. Since the command is
	for implementors only, and works only in grades that are not yet ready
	for public consumption, the documentation is commented out.

	Add documentation of the new arguments of the print and browse mdb
	commands. Since they are for implementors only, the documentation
	is commented out.

trace/mercury_trace_vars.[ch]:
	Add the functions needed to implement the term_size command, and
	factor out the code common to the "size" and "print"/"browse" commands.

	Decide whether to print the name of a variable before invoking the

	this purpose, instead of overloading the meaning of the output FILE *
	variable. This arrangement is much clearer.

trace/mercury_trace_browse.c:

tests/hard_coded/nondet_c.m:
tests/hard_coded/pragma_inline.m:
	Use MR_offset_incr_hp instead of MR_incr_hp to ensure that all places
	that allocate cells also allocate space for the term size slot if
	necessary.

tests/valid/Mmakefile:
	Disable the IL tests in term size profiling grades, since the term size
	profiling primitives haven't been (and probably won't be) implemented
	for the MLDS backends, and handle_options causes a compiler abort
	for grades that combine term size profiling and any one of IL, Java
	and high level C.

89a4d190c5 Library changes required to make the compiler work on Windows
Estimated hours taken: 120
Branches: main

Library changes required to make the compiler work on Windows
without Cygwin.  (Compiler changes to come separately).

library/dir.m:
	Handle Windows-style paths.

	Change the determinism of dir.basename and dir.split_name.
	dir.basename now fails for root directories (a new function
	dir.basename_det calls error/1 rather than failing).
	dir.split_name fails for root directories or if the pathname
	passed doesn't contain a directory separator.

	Add predicates dir.make_directory, dir.path_name_is_absolute
	and dir.path_name_is_root_directory.

	Add a multi predicate dir.is_directory separator which
	returns all separators for the platform (including '/' on
	Windows), not just the standard one.

	Add a function dir.parent_directory (returns "..").

	Add dir.foldl2 and dir.recursive_foldl2, to iterate through
	the entries in a directory (and maybe its subdirectories).

	Change '/' to correctly handle Windows paths of the form
	"C:"/"foo" and "\"/"foo".

	Don't add repeated directory separators in '/'.

library/io.m:
	Add io.file_type and io.check_file_accessibility.

	Add predicates to deal with symlinks -- io.have_symlinks,
	io.make_symlink and io.follow_symlink.

	Add io.file_id for use by dir.foldl2 to detect
	symlink loops. This is a bit low level, so it's
	not included in the user documentation.

	Add io.(binary_)input_stream_foldl2_io_maybe_stop, which
	is like io.(binary_)input_stream_foldl2_io, but allows
	stopping part of the way through. This is useful for
	implementing `diff'-like functionality to replace
	mercury_update_interface.

	Use Windows-style paths when generating temporary file
	names on Windows.

	Add versions of the predicates to generate error messages
	to handle Win32 errors.

	Add versions of the predicates to generate error messages
	which take a system error code, rather than looking up
	errno. This simplifies things where the error we
	are interested in was not from the last system call.

library/exception.m:
	Add a predicate finally/6 which performs the same function
	as the `finally' clause in languages such as C# and Java.

	Add predicates try_det, try_io_det and try_store_det,
	which only have one mode so they are more convenient
	to pass to promise_only solution.

library/Mmakefile:
	Add dependencies on runtime/mercury_conf.h for files which
	use the MR_HAVE_* macros.

library/string.m:
	Add a function version of string__index.

NEWS:
	Document the new predicates and functions and the change
	of determinism of dir.split_name and dir.basename.

configure.in:
runtime/mercury_conf.h.in:
	Test for lstat, mkdir, symlink and readlink.

runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
	Add a macro MR_BROKEN_ST_INO, which is true if the st_ino
	field of `struct stat' is garbage. Currently defined iff
	MR_WIN32 is defined.

Reduce inappropriate dependencies on ll_backend modules. Except for
simplification of unnecessarily complicated logic in dependency_graph.m,
this change only moves functionality around.

compiler/llds_out.m:
compiler/c_util.m:
compiler/name_mangle.m:
	Move predicates that are used by multiple backends from
	ll_backend__llds_out to backend_libs__c_util and to a new module
	backend_libs__name_mangle. Make the relevant ones functions,
	and give some of them more meaningful names.

compiler/trace.m:
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Move a backend-independent predicate from ll_backend__trace
	to hlds__hlds_goal.

compiler/llds.m:
compiler/trace_params.m:
	Move the definition of the trace_port type from ll_backend__llds
	to libs__trace_params to avoid having libs__trace_params depend on
	ll_backend.

compiler/exprn_aux.m:
compiler/globals.m:
	Move the definition of the imported_is_constant from
	ll_backend__exprn_aux to libs__globals to avoid having libs__globals
	depend on ll_backend.

	Conform to the above changes. This removes many inappropriate
	dependencies on the LLDS backend.

Estimated hours taken: 2
Branches: main

Ensure that in MLDS grades, arguments with arg_mode `top_unused' do not
get passed.

Previously, different parts of the compiler had different and inconsistent
ideas about if/how they should get passed, which caused problems,
including an internal error for tests/hard_coded/foreign_type2.m in grade
`java'.  The comments in mlds.m said they should not get passed, the
code in ml_call_gen.m passed them as if they were output arguments, and
the code in ml_code_util declared them as if they were input arguments.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add some detailed comments about the meaning of the `arg_mode' type.

compiler/ml_call_gen.m:
compiler/ml_code_util.m:
compiler/ml_code_gen.m:
	Ensure that arguments with arg_mode `unused' do not get passed,
	declared, or converted (respectively).

runtime/mercury_grade.h:
	Bump the binary compatibility version number for MLDS grades.
	This is needed because the calling convention for procedures

7597ca1e80 Allow reconfiguration of existing installations, for example
Estimated hours taken: 20
Branches: main

Allow reconfiguration of existing installations, for example
to use a different C compiler. The reconfiguration works
by making a new copy of the scripts and mercury_conf.h,
and storing them in a partial installation directory tree
which uses the libraries and executables from the existing
installation.

Use this method to configure binary distributions, rather
than using a cut down version of the configuration script,
to avoid code duplication and to handle the case where the
C compiler in use on the installation machine is different
than that used to build the binary distribution.

This is more robust than the previous method of using a different
C compiler, which was to set the MERCURY_C_COMPILER variable and
hope the different C compilers were compatible enough.

Mmakefile:
runtime/Mmakefile:
scripts/Mmakefile:
	Modify the `install' targets to store files needed to create
	a new configuration in $INSTALL_LIBDIR/reconf.

runtime/Mmakefile:
	Install mercury_conf.h in $INSTALL_LIBDIR/conf, rather than
	$INSTALL_LIBDIR/inc, so that it can be overridden by a
	different configuration.

scripts/mercury_config.in:
	Create a new configuration, by creating part of a Mercury
	source tree from the files stored in $INSTALL_LIBDIR/reconf,
	running configure, then copying the files into a partial
	installation tree.

scripts/Mmake.vars.in:
	Define ENABLE_DEEP_PROFILER, for use by bindist/bindist.Makefile.

	Define variables INSTALL_CONF_DIR (contains the files describing
	the configuration) and INSTALL_RECONF_DIR (contains files needed
	to reconfigure an installation).

configure.in:
	Add an option `--enable-reconfigure', for use by
	mercury_config.in.

	Don't look for runtime/mercury_wrapper.c when checking
	for the sources -- it isn't present when reconfiguring.
	Look for scripts/mmc.in instead.

	Look for the runtime headers in the installation hierarchy
	rather than the `runtime/' and `trace/' directories when
	reconfiguring.

	Output the help message for the `configure' script to
	`configure.help'.  This is included in the help message
	for `mercury_config'.

	Add new configuration variables CONFIG_PREFIX and CONFIG_LIBDIR,
	which are like PREFIX and LIBDIR except that they point
	to the configuration files, not the library files.
	In the normal case PREFIX and CONFIG_PREFIX will be the same.

Estimated hours taken: 20
Branches: main

Make it easier to use shared libraries on x86 with
`mmc --make'.

There is now a third kind of object file, `.lpic_o'.
These files are compiled with `--pic-reg' but not with
CFLAGS_FOR_PIC, so they can be linked with shared Mercury
libraries.

On x86, executables which are linked with shared Mercury
libraries now depend on $(main_module.lpic_os), not
$(main_module.os).

This doesn't work with Mmake because ml doesn't know
which libraries are Mercury libraries, so it can't

MERCURY_LINKAGE is set to "static".

Estimated hours taken: 2
Branches: main

Add a new grade component, .decldebug. It is as proposed on mercury-developers,
minus the implications about I/O tabling. Those will come later.

compiler/options.m:
	Add a new option, --decl-debug, that switches on declarative debugging.

compiler/trace_params.m:
	The procedure that converts strings representing trace levels to trace
	levels themselves now has an extra argument, which gives the value of
	the --decl-debug option. If set, it raises the minimum trace level,
	and turn explicitly specifying trace levels `shallow' and `deep'
	into errors (since they are not sufficient for declarative debugging).

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Pass the value of the --decl-debug option to trace_params, and handle
	the errors that may result. Handle the implications of --decl-debug
	and the .decldebug grade component.

compiler/compile_target_code.m:
	Define MR_DECL_DEBUG when invoking the C compiler if --decl-debug is
	set.

runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
	Document MR_DECL_DEBUG, which is defined iff the grade is a .decldebug
	grade.

runtime/mercury_grade.h:
	Take MR_DECL_DEBUG into account when computing the grade component
	related to debugging.

	Update the list of places that need to be modified when adding new
	grade components.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document --decl-debug and the .decldebug grade component.

	Document the events used by declarative debugging, since Mark didn't.

	Fix some minor unrelated omissions.

scripts/parse_grade_options.sh-subr:
scripts/final_grade.sh-subr:

scripts/mgnuc.in:
scripts/ml.in:
	Add a new shell variable, decl_debug, to represent the value of
	MR_DECL_DEBUG, and handle it as appropriate.

tests/debugger/Mmakefile:
	Do not execute shallow traced tests in .decldebug grades, since we
	don't support shallow tracing in such grades.

	Specify --trace decl instead of --trace deep in .decldebug grades
	when compiling the other tests, since we don't support --trace deep
	in .decldebug grades.

17d5aa732e Add support for interfacing Mercury with the MPS garbage collector.
Estimated hours taken: 20
Branches: main

Add support for interfacing Mercury with the MPS garbage collector.

This change is broken into three parts:

	1. Import version 1.100.1 of the MPS kit into the Mercury
	   CVS repository, in the directory `mps_gc'.

	2. Make some changes to the MPS kit for Mercury,
	   to support fully-conservative collection and tagged pointers,
	   and to wrap it in an interface that is similar to that of
	   the Boehm collector.

	3. Modify the rest of the Mercury implementation
	   to support linking with the MPS kit instead
	   of the Boehm collector.  This involved defining
	   `mps' as a new GC method and a new grade component.

This is part 3 of 3.

Mmake.workspace:
	Include the MPS directories in the header file and library search
	paths.

tools/bootcheck:
	Link the mps_gc directory into the stage2 and stage3 directories.

Mmake.workspace:
runtime/Mmakefile:
scripts/ml.in:
	For *.mps grades, link in mps.a.
	(XXX ml.in is linking in libmps.a, which is wrong.)

runtime/Mmakefile:
trace/Mmakefile:
	In the rule for `check_headers', which checks macro namespace
	cleanliness, allow names to start with `MPS_' or `mps_'.

runtime/RESERVED_MACRO_NAMES:
	Add `mercury_mps_h', which is used by mps_gc/code/mercury_mps.h
	for its header guard.  (Normally it would be better to use
	uppercase for header guard macro names, but that would be
	inconsistent with the coding style used in mps_gc/code.)

scripts/canonical_grade.sh-subr:
scripts/init_grade_options.sh-subr:
scripts/parse_grade_options.sh-subr:
scripts/canonical_grade.sh-subr:
	Handle the new `mps' GC method and grade component.

compiler/globals.m:
compiler/options.m:
doc/user_guide.texi:
	Replace gc_method `conservative' with two alternatives
	`boehm' and `mps'. ("--gc conservative" is still allowed,
	and treated as equivalent to "--gc boehm".)
	Add new function `gc_is_conservative' to globals.m.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
	Use `gc_is_conservative' rather than `= conservative'.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Handle the "mps" grade component.
	(XXX need to document this in options.m and user_guide.texi)

compiler/compile_target_code.m:
	Pass the appropriate C defines for the new GC methods.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Wrap the work-around for a Boehm GC bug inside `#ifndef MR_MPS_GC'.

library/array.m:
	Use GC_FREE() rather than GC_free().
	This is needed for two reasons:
	- so that it works with MPS, which only defines GC_FREE
	- so that it works with then Boehm collector when
	  GC debugging is enabled

library/benchmarking.m:
	Output GC statistics for the MPS collector.

runtime/mercury.h:
runtime/mercury_heap.h:
runtime/mercury_init.h:
runtime/mercury_memory.h:
	If MR_MPS_GC is defined, use mercury_mps.h rather than gc.h.

runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
	Add configuration macros MR_BOEHM_GC and MR_MPS_GC.
	Set MR_CONSERVATIVE_GC if either of these is set.
	Default to MR_BOEHM_GC if only MR_CONSERVATIVE_GC is set.

runtime/mercury_context.h:
runtime/mercury_deep_copy.h:
runtime/mercury_engine.h:
runtime/mercury_float.h:
runtime/mercury_heap.h:
	Explictly #include "mercury_conf.h", so that
	MR_CONSERVATIVE_GC will be set properly before it is tested.

runtime/mercury_grade.h:
	Handle the .mps grade component.

runtime/mercury_memory.c:
runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
runtime/mercury_memory_handlers.c:
	Move the call to MR_setup_signals() earlier in the
	initialization sequence, so that the MPS signal handlers
	get installed after our signal handlers.  This is needed
	because our signal handlers assume that any signals that
	they can't handle are fatal errors, which interfere's
	with MPS's use of signal handlers for memory barriers.

runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
	Add code to initialize the MPS collector.
	Put code which is specific to the Boehm collector inside
	#ifdef MR_BOEHM_GC rather than #ifdef MR_CONSERVATIVE_GC.

runtime/mercury_wrapper.h:
	Update a comment.
