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.

New files:

compiler/magic.m:
compiler/magic_util.m:
	Supplementary magic sets transformation. Report errors
	for constructs that Aditi can't handle.

compiler/context.m:
	Supplementary context transformation.

compiler/rl_gen.m:
compiler/rl_relops.m:
	Aditi code generation.

compiler/rl_info.m:
	Code generator state.

	Break a procedure into basic blocks.

compiler/rl_analyse.m:
	Generic dataflow analysis for RL procedures.

	Make sure all relations are initialised before used, clear
	references to relations that are no longer required.

	CSE and instruction merging on basic blocks.

compiler/rl_key.m:
	Detect upper/lower bounds for which a goal could succeed.

	RL bytecode definitions. Automatically generated from the Aditi
	header files.

compiler/rl_out.m:
compiler/rl_file.m:
	Output the RL bytecodes in binary to <module>.rlo (for use by Aditi)
	and in text to <module>.rla (for use by the RL interpreter).

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.

Estimated hours taken: 240

This checkin has several major purposes, set out in the sections below,
all connected with the implementation of the new debugger command set.

DOCUMENT NEW DEBUG COMMAND SET

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Add a new section on the debugger. The description of the commands
	is complete, but some of the background sections, and the section
	about how to build debuggable executables, are not yet done.

	Update the documentation of the tracing options.

doc/generate_mdb_doc:
	A new shell script that automatically converts some of the new
	sections of the user guide into the online documentation of the
	debugger.

doc/mdb_categories:
	The fixed initial part of the online documentation.

doc/Mmakefile:
	Add rules for creating mdb_doc, the file that is the online
	documentation of the debugger, and for installing it together
	with mdbrc.

Mmake.common.in:
	Define INSTALL_DOC_DIR for doc/Mmakefile.

scripts/mdbrc.in:
	A debugger command script that reads in the online documentation
	and then defines some standard aliases.

configure.in:
	Define the variable that scripts/mdb.in and scripts/mdbrc.in use
	to find the right files, and get configure to perform the
	substitutions.

configure.in:
scripts/mdb:
scripts/mdb.in:
	Replace mdb with mdb.in. Mdb is now created during configuration
	from mdb.in, filling in the name of the file that contains the default
	debugger initialization commands.

util/info_to_mdb.c:
	A program that does most of the work involved in automatically
	converting user guide sections into online documentation.
	(This couldn't easily be written in sh, because sh's read
	command has no notion of pushback.)

util/Mmakefile:
	Add info_to_mdb to the list of targets.

tools/bootcheck:
	Make sure that the tests in tests/debugger are executed with an
	initialization setup that is equivalent to what users will see
	by default.

REORGANIZE TRACING OPTIONS

compiler/globals.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
compiler/options.m:
compiler/trace.m:
	Reorganize the handling of trace levels around the new options
	--trace-internal, --trace-redo, and --trace-return.

compiler/*.m:
	Use the new ways of getting at trace levels.

tests/hard_coded/typeclasses/Mmakefile:
	s/--trace all/--trace deep/

SUPPORT RETRY

compiler/trace.m:
	After every call to MR_trace(), emit code that checks whether it
	should jump away, and if yes, performs the jump. This is used to
	implement retry. (The debugger cannot execute the jump itself
	because it is in the wrong C stack frame.)

compiler/llds.m:
compiler/continuation_info.m:
compiler/stack_layout.m:
	Modify the data structures that record information about live
	value at program points, to record the identity of each variable.
	This is necessary for the implementation of the restart command,
	since we do not want to confuse two distinct variables just because
	they have the same name. For example, a variable whose name is X
	and number is 5 is now recorded in the name array as "5:X".

	Clean up the data structure a bit, so that we don't have to store
	dummy names for values that are not variables.

compiler/*.m:
	Minor changes to conform to the data structure changes.

runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
	Redefine an existing macro to strip away the initial number: prefix
	from the "name" of a variable (keeping its original function on
	changed data), and add a new one to access the raw unstripped data.

runtime/mercury_init.h:
runtime/mercury_wrapper.h:
	Update the prototype of MR_trace_{fake,real}, and the type of the
	global that points to them.

runtime/mercury_layout_util.h:
	Add an extra function, MR_get_register_number, for use by retry.

USE FIXED STACK SLOTS FOR TRACE INFO

compiler/code_gen.m:
compiler/code_info.m:
compiler/live_vars.m:
compiler/trace.m:
	If execution tracing is enabled, reserve the first few stack slots
	to hold the event number of the call event, the call number, the
	call depth, the redo layout structure address (if generating redo
	events) and the from_full flag at the time of call (if we are doing
	shallow tracing). By allocating the first four of these to fixed stack
	slots, the debugger knows where to look for them without having
	to be told. It finds out the location of the fifth, if needed,
	from a new slot in the proc layout structure. (It is not possible
	to allocate all five to fixed stack slots without wasting stack space
	in some cases.)

compiler/trace.m:
	Remove from the call to MR_trace the parameters that are now in fixed
	stack slots, since MR_trace can now look them up itself.

compiler/continuation_info.m:
compiler/stack_layout.m:
	Add an extra field to the proc_layout_info. If the module is shallow
	traced, this field says which stack slot holds the saved value of
	MR_from_full. If it is not shallow traced, this field says that
	there is no such stack slot.

runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
	Add macros for accessing the fixed stack slots holding the event
	number of the call event, the call number, the call depth, and,
	at a redo event, the redo layout structure address.

	Support the new field in proc layouts that gives the location of the
	from-full flag (if any).

runtime/mercury_trace_base.[ch]:
trace/mercury_trace.[ch]:
	Remove the call number and call depth arguments from MR_trace
	and its avatars, since this info is now in fixed stack slots
	in every procedure that can call MR_trace. This should reduce
	the size of the executable significantly, since there are lots
	of calls to MR_trace.

runtime/mercury_init.h:
runtime/mercury_wrapper.h:
	Update the prototype of MR_trace_{fake,real}, and the type of the
	global that points to them.

START NUMBERING FRAMEVARS FROM ONE

compiler/code_info.m:
compiler/live_vars.m:
compiler/llds_out.m:
compiler/trace.m:
	Start numbering framevars from 1 internally to the compiler;
	the runtime already starts from 1. This simplifies several tasks.

ADD REDO EVENTS

compiler/trace.m:
compiler/code_gen.m:
	Before the code that executes "succeed()", emit code to push a
	a temp nondet frame whose redoip points to a label in the runtime
	that calls MR_trace for a REDO event and then fails, provided
	--trace-redo is set.

compiler/llds.m:
	Add a new code address constant, do_trace_redo_fail, which stands
	for the address in the trace system to which calls MR_trace for
	the redo event and then fails.

compiler/trace.m:
compiler/llds_out.m:
	Provided we are doing redo tracing, fill in the slot that holds
	the layout information for the REDO event.

compiler/*.m:
	Minor changes to conform to handle the new code address constant.

browser/debugger_interface.m:
	Add redo to trace_port_type.

runtime/mercury_trace_base.[ch]:
	Add a C module containing the code that calls MR_trace for REDO
	events.

ENSURE THAT INPUT ARGUMENTS ARE ALWAYS VISIBLE

compiler/trace.m:
	When generating the set of live variables at internal ports,
	the variables that are in the pre-death set of the goal into which
	we are entering may not be available. However, the variables in the
	pre-death set that are also in the resume vars set will be available,
	so now include info about them in the layout structure for the event.
	Since with tracing the non-clobbered input args are in all resume vars
	sets, this ensures that these input args will be available from all
	internal events.

compiler/code_info.m:
	Export a previously internal predicate (current_resume_point_vars)
	to make this possible.

BUG FIX: WANT RETURN LAYOUTS

compiler/globals.m:
compiler/call_gen.m:
compiler/code_info.m:
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Add a new pred globals__want_return_layouts, which says whether the
	compiler should generate layout structures for call returns. This pred
	centralizes the several previous copies of the test. One of those
	copies (the one in call_gen) was faulty, leading to a bug: in the
	presence of execution tracing but the absence of accurate gc,
	information about the variables that are live at the call return
	wasn't being gathered properly.

BUG FIX: #include mercury_trace_base.h

compiler/llds_out.m:
	#include mercury_trace_base.h, not mercury_trace.h, since now
	mercury_trace_base.h defines everything directly accessible from
	modules compiled with tracing.

RECAST MERCURY_TRACE_UTIL AS MERCURY_LAYOUT_UTIL

runtime/mercury_trace_util.[ch]:
runtime/mercury_layout_util.[ch]:
	Rename this module from trace_util to layout_util, since it is also
	used by the native garbage collector. Remove "trace" from the names
	of functions.

	Get rid of the global variable MR_saved_regs, and instead thread
	a pointer to this data structure through the relevant functions
	as an extra argument.

	Add a lot more documentation in the header file.

runtime/Mmakefile:
	Reflect the module rename.

runtime/*.c:
	Refer to the new module.

DELETE EASY-TO-MISUSE MACROS

runtime/mercury_stacks.h:
	Delete the based_framevar and based_detstackvar macros, since their
	continued use can lead to off-by-one errors, and the saved_framevar
	and saved_detstackvar macros, since they are no longer used.

runtime/*.c
	Update any references to any macros removed from mercury_stacks.h.

MISC RUNTIME CHANGES

runtime/mercury_trace_base.[ch]:
trace/mercury_trace*.[ch]:
	Make typedef'd names conform to the naming convention.

	Make MR_trace_call_{seqno,depth} consistently Unsigned, rather than
	sometimes Word and sometimes Unsigned.

FIX BUG: MAKE THE DEBUGGER PRINT TO STDOUT, NOT THE CURRENT STREAM

library/io.m:
	Export to C code the predicates that return the identities and types
	of stdin, stdout and stderr, as well as io__print/[34].

library/std_util.m:
	Export to C code a predicate that returns the type_info for the
	type stdutil:type_info. This type_info is required if C code
	wants to invoke make_permanent on any type_info structure,
	as the debugger does.

runtime/mercury_init.h:
	Add extern declarations for the C functions now exported from io.m.

runtime/mercury_wrapper.[ch]:
	Add new global variables to hold the addresses of these C functions.

runtime/mercury_layout_util.c:
	Use indirect calls through these global variables to print Mercury
	values, instead of lower-level code.

util/mkinit.c:
	Assign the addresses of the functions exported from io.m to the
	global variables defined in mercury_wrapper.h.

BUG FIX: STACK TRACE FUNCTIONS DEPEND ON THE LABEL TABLE

runtime/mercury_stack_trace.c:
	On entry to any of the functions exported from this module,
	ensure that the label table is loaded by calling do_init_modules.
	Without a filled-in label table, the stack trace will not be able to
	find any stack layout info.

BUG FIX: REMOVE BROWSER/*.C

configure.in:
	When removing .c files generated by the C compiler, remove those
	in the browser directory as well as the compiler, library and
	profiler directories.

IMPLEMENT NEW DEBUGGER COMMAND SET

runtime/mercury_stack_trace.[ch]:
	Factor out the code that prints the id of a procedure into a function
	of its own, so that it can also be used from the debugger, ensuring
	appearance commonality.

	Add more documentation in the header file.

trace/mercury_trace_internal.c:
	Implement the proposed command set. Command names are now words,
	and several commands now have options allowing the user to override
	the default print level or strictness of the command, or the
	invocation conditions or action of a break point. Allows control
	over command echoing and the scrolling of sequences of event reports.
	Supports aliases, command file sourcing etc. Implements the retry
	command, using the info in the fixed stack slots.

trace/mercury_trace.[ch]:
	Extend the trace controls to support the new functionalities
	required by the new debugger language, which are print levels,
	variable-strictness commands, a more flexible finish command,
	and the retry command.

	Pass the command structure to MR_trace_event_report, since
	the user can now forcibly terminate the scrolling of reports.

trace/mercury_trace_alias.[ch]:
	New module to manage aliases for the debugger.

trace/mercury_trace_help.[ch]:
	New module to interface to browser/help.m.

trace/mercury_trace_spy.[ch]:
	New module to manage break points. The test of whether an event
	matches a break point is now much more efficient than before.
	The new module also allows several breakpoints with different
	actions and different invocation conditions (e.g. all ports,
	entry port, interface ports or specific (possibly internal) port)
	to be defined on the same procedure.

trace/mercury_trace_tables.[ch]:
	New module to manage a table of the debuggable modules, in which
	each such module is linked to the list of the layouts of all the
	procedures defined in that module. This information allows the
	debugger to turn the name of a predicate/function (possibly together
	with its arity and mode number) into the procedure layout structure
	required by the spy point module. Eventually it may also be useful
	in supplying lists of identifiers for command line completion.

	Modules for which no stack layout information is available will
	not be included in the table, since do_init_modules will not
	register any labels for them in the label table.

trace/Mmakefile:
	Mention the new files.

runtime/mercury_array_macros.h:
	A new file holding macros that can be useful in more than one module.

runtime/Mmakefile:
	Mention the new file.

runtime/mercury_conf.h.in:
	Mention a new configuration macro, MR_CANNOT_USE_STRUCTURE_ASSIGNMENT,
	used by runtime/mercury_array_macros.h.

configure.in:
	Find out whether we need to define MR_CANNOT_USE_STRUCTURE_ASSIGNMENT.

ADD TRACE DEPTH HISTOGRAMS

runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
	Document MR_TRACE_HISTOGRAM.

runtime/mercury_trace_base.[ch]:
	Define the data structures for the histogram, and print the histogram
	when a traced program exits if MR_TRACE_HISTOGRAM is set.

trace/mercury_trace.[ch]:
	If MR_TRACE_HISTOGRAM is defined, record a count of the number of
	events at each depth. This information can help us evaluate space-time
	tradeoffs.

FACTOR OUT SHELL CODE HANDLING GRADE IMPLICATIONS

scripts/final_grade_options.sh-subr:
	A new file to contain any code that implements implications between
	grade flags; currently implements the implication debug -> use trail.

scripts/mgnuc.in:
scripts/ml.in:
	Replace the code that is now in final_grade_options.sh-subr with
	an inclusion of final_grade_options.sh-subr.

configure.in:
	Handle final_grade_options.sh-subr as {init,parse}_grade_options.sh-subr
	are handled.

SIMPLIFY THE MAINTAINANCE OF CONSISTENCY BETWEEN DEBUGGER CODE AND DOCUMENTATION

doc/Mmakefile:
	Add rules for creating mdb_command_list, a C code fragment
	that can included manually in trace/mercury_trace_internal.c
	to supply the list of valid commands, and mdb_command_test.inp,
	which is a list of invalid invocations of debugger commands,
	which tests whether the help message for such invocations
	can be located as expected.

doc/generate_mdb_command_list:
doc/generate_mdb_command_test:
	Awk scripts to create mdb_command_list and mdb_command_test.inp
	respectively from mdb_doc.

tools/bootcheck:
	Copy mdb_command_test.inp from doc to tests/debugger.

tests/debugger/Mmakefile:
	Add a new test that checks whether we get an internal error, unable
	to locate the right help node, for each invalid command invocation in
	mdb_command_test.inp.

UPDATE TEST CASES

tests/debugger/Mmakefile:
	Reenable queens. Conform to the new set of options.

tests/debugger/*.inp:
tests/debugger/*.exp:
	Update the inputs and expected outputs of the debugger test cases
	to use the new command set and output formats.

d1855187e5 Implement new methods of handling failures and the end points of branched
Estimated hours taken: 260

Implement new methods of handling failures and the end points of branched
control structures.

compiler/notes/failure.html:
	Fix an omission about the handling of resume_is_known in if-then-elses.
	(This omission lead to a bug in the implementation.)

	Optimize cuts across multi goals when curfr is known to be equal
	to maxfr.

	Clarify the wording in several places.

compiler/code_info.m:
	Completely rewrite the methods for handling failure.

	Separate the fields of code_info into three classes: those which
	do not change after initialization, those which record state that
	depends on where in the HLDS goal we are, and those which contain
	persistent data such as label and cell counters.

	Rename grab_code_info and slap_code_info as remember_position
	and reset_to_position, and add a wrapper around the remembered
	code_info to make it harder to make mistakes in its use.
	(Only the location-dependent fields of the remembered code_info
	are used, but putting only them into a separate data structure would
	result in more, not less, memory being allocated.)

	Gather the predicates that deal with handling branched control
	structures into a submodule.

	Reorder the declarations and definitions of access predicates
	to conform to the new order of fields.

	Reorder the declarations and definitions of the failure handling
	submodule to better reflect the separation of higher-level and
	lower-level predicates.

compiler/code_gen.m:
	Replace code_gen__generate_{det,semi,non}_goal_2 with a single
	predicate, since for most HLDS constructs the code here is the same
	anyway (the called preds check the code model when needed).

	Move classification of the various kinds of unifications to unify_gen,
	since that is where it belongs.

	Move responsibility for initializing the code generator's trace
	info to code_info.

	Move the generation of code for negations to ite_gen, since the
	handling of negations is a cut-down version of the handling of
	negations. This should make the required double maintenance easier,
	and more likely to happen.

compiler/disj_gen.m:
compiler/ite_gen.m:
	These are the two modules that handle most failures; they have
	undergone a significant rewrite. As part of this rewrite, factor
	out the remaining common code between model_non and model_{det,semi}
	goals.

compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Move classification of the various kinds of unifications here from
	code_gen. This allows us to keep several previously exported
	predicates private.

compiler/call_gen.m:
	Factor out some code that was common to ordinary calls, higher order
	calls and method calls. Move the common code that checks whether
	we are doing tracing to trace.m.

	Replace call_gen__generate_{det,semi,nondet}_builtin with a single
	predicate.

	Delete the commented out call_gen__generate_complicated_unify,
	since it will never be needed and in any case suffered from
	significant code rot.

compiler/llds.m:
	Change the mkframe instruction so that depending on one of its
	arguments, it can create either ordinary frames, or the cut-down
	frames used by the new failure handling algorithm (they have only
	three fixed fields: prevfr, redoip and redofr).

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Emit a #define MR_USE_REDOFR before including mercury_imp.h, to
	tell the runtime we are using the new failure handling scheme.
	This effectively changes the grade of the compiled module.

	Emit MR_stackvar and MR_framevar instead of detstackvar and framevar.
	This is a step towards cleaning up the name-space, and a step towards
	making both start numbering at 0. For the time being, the compiler
	internally still starts counting framevars at 0; the code in llds_out.m
	adds a +1 offset.

compiler/trace.m:
	Change the way trace info is initialized to fit in with the new
	requirements of code_info.m.

	Move the "are we tracing" check from the callers to the implementation
	of trace__prepare_for_call.

compiler/*.m:
	Minor changes in accordance with the major ones above.

compiler/options.m:
	Introduce a new option, allow_hijacks, which is set to "yes" by
	default. It is not used yet, but the idea is that when it is set to no,
	the code generator will not generate code that hijacks the nondet
	stack frame of another procedure invocation; instead, it will create
	a new temporary nondet stack frame. If the current procedure is
	model_non, it will have three fields: prevfr, redoip and redofr.
	If the current procedure is model_det or model_semi, it will have
	a fourth field that is set to the value of MR_sp. The idea is that
	the runtime system, which will be able to distinguish between
	ordinary frames (whose size is at least 5 words), 3-word and 4-word
	temporary frames, will now be able to use the redofr slots of
	all three kinds of frames and the fourth slot values of 4-word
	temporary frames as the addresses relative to which framevars
	and detstackvars respectively ought to be offset in stack layouts.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Turn off allow_hijacks if the gc method is accurate.

runtime/mercury_stacks.h:
	Change the definitions for the nondet stack handling macros
	to accommodate the new nondet stack handling discipline.
	Define a new macro for creating temp nondet frames.

	Define MR_based_stackvar and MR_based_framevar (both of which start
	numbering slots at 1), and express other references, including
	MR_stackvar and MR_framevar and backward compatible definitions of
	detstackvar and framevar for hand-written C code, in terms of those
	two.

runtime/mercury_stack_trace.[ch]:
	Add a new function to print a dump of the fixed elements nondet stack,
	for debugging my changes. (The dump does not include variable values.)

runtime/mercury_trace_internal.c:
	Add a new undocumented command "D" for dumping the nondet stack
	(users should not know about this command, since the output is
	intelligible only to implementors).

	Add a new command "toggle_echo" that can cause the debugger to echo
	all commands. When the input to the debugger is redirected, this
	echo causes the output of the session to be much more readable.

runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
	Save the address of the artificial bottom nondet stack frame,
	so that the new function in mercury_stack_trace.c can find out
	where to stop.

runtime/mercury_engine.c:
runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
	Put MR_STACK_TRACE_THIS_MODULE at the tops of these modules, so that
	the labels they define (e.g. do_fail and global_success) are registered
	in the label table when their module initialization functions are
	called. This is necessary for a meaningful nondet stack dump.

runtime/mercury_grade.h:
	Add a new component to the grade string that specifies whether
	the code was compiled with the old or the new method of handling
	the nondet stack. This is important, because modules compiled
	with different nondet stack handling disciplines are not compatible.
	This component depends on whether MR_USE_REDOFR is defined or not.

runtime/mercury_imp.h:
	If MR_DISABLE_REDOFR is defined, undefine off MR_USE_REDOFR before
	including mercury_grade.h. This is to allow people to continue
	working on un-updated workspaces after this change is installed;
	they should put "EXTRA_CFLAGS = -DMR_DISABLE_REDOFR" into
	Mmake.stage.params. (This way their stage1 will use the new method
	of handling failure, while their stage2 2&3 will use the old one.)

	This change should be undone once all our workspaces have switched
	over to the new failure handling method.

tests/hard_coded/cut_test.{m,exp}:
	A new test case to tickle the various ways of handling cuts in the
	new code generator.

tests/hard_coded/Mmakefile:
	Enable the new test case.

42c540ad67 Give duplicate code elimination more teeth in dealing with similar arguments
Estimated hours taken: 20

Give duplicate code elimination more teeth in dealing with similar arguments
of different function symbols. For the source code

	:- type t1	--->	f(int)
			;	g(int, int).

	:- pred p1(t1::in, int::out) is det.

	p1(f(Y), Y).
	p1(g(Y, _), Y).

we now generate the C code

	Define_entry(mercury__xdup__p1_2_0);
		r1 = const_mask_field(r1, (Integer) 0);
		proceed();

thus avoiding the cost of testing the function symbol.

runtime/mercury_tags.h:
	Add two new macros, mask_field and const_mask_field, that behave
	just like field and const_field except that instead of stripping
	off a known tag from the pointer, they strip (mask) off an unknown
	tag.

compiler/llds.m:
	Change the first argument of the lval field/3 from tag to maybe(tag).

	Make the comments on some types more readable.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	If the first arg of the lval field/3 is no, emit a (const_)mask_field
	macro; otherwise, emit a (const_)field macro.

compiler/basic_block.m:
	New module to convert sequences of instructions to sequences of
	basic blocks and vice versa. Used in the new dupelim.m.

compiler/dupelim.m:
	Complete rewrite to give duplicate code elimination more teeth.
	Whereas previously we eliminated blocks of code only if they exactly
	duplicated other blocks of code, we now look for blocks that can be
	"anti-unified". For example, the blocks

	r1 = field(mktag(0), r2, 0)
	goto L1

	and

	r1 = field(mktag(1), r2, 0)
	<fall through to L1>

	anti-unify, with the most specific common generalization being

	r1 = mask_field(r2, 0)
	goto L1

	If several basic blocks antiunify, we replace one copy with the
	antiunified block and try to eliminate the others. We do not
	eliminate blocks that can be fallen into, since eliminating them
	would require introducing a goto, which would slow the code down.

compiler/peephole,m:
	If a conditional branch to a label is followed by that label or
	by an unconditional branch to that label, eliminate the branch.
	Dupelim produces this kind of code.

compiler/{code_exprn,exprn_aux,lookup_switch,opt_debug,unify_gen}.m:

7406335105 This change implements typeclasses. Included are the necessary changes to
Estimated hours taken: 500 or so

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

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

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

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

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

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

	Add constraints to the pred_info.

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

	Add the "class_method" marker.

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

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

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

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

05267d2834 Add support for memory profiling.
Estimated hours taken: 40 (+ unknown time by Zoltan)

Add support for memory profiling.

(A significant part of this change is actuallly Zoltan's work.  Zoltan
did the changes to the compiler and a first go at the changes to the
runtime and library.  I rewrote much of Zoltan's changes to the runtime
and library, added support for the new options/grades, added code to
interface with mprof, did the changes to the profiler, and wrote the
documentation.)

[TODO: add test cases.]

NEWS:
	Mention support for memory profiling.

runtime/mercury_heap_profile.h:
runtime/mercury_heap_profile.c:
	New files.  These contain code to record heap profiling information.

runtime/mercury_heap.h:
	Add new macros incr_hp_msg(), tag_incr_hp_msg(),
	incr_hp_atomic_msg(), and tag_incr_hp_atomic_msg().
	These are like the non-`msg' versions, except that if
	PROFILE_MEMORY is defined, they also call MR_record_allocation()
	from mercury_heap_profile.h to record heap profiling information.
	Also, fix up the indentation in lots of places.

runtime/mercury_prof.h:
runtime/mercury_prof.c:
	Added code to dump out memory profiling information to files
	`Prof.MemoryWords' and `Prof.MemoryCells' (for use by mprof).
	Change the format of the `Prof.Counts' file so that the
	first line says what it is counting, the units, and a scale
	factor.  Prof.MemoryWords and Prof.MemoryCells can thus have
	exactly the same format as Prof.Counts.
	Also cleaned up the interface to mercury_prof.c a bit, and did
	various other minor cleanups -- indentation changes, changes to
	use MR_ prefixes, additional comments, etc.

runtime/mercury_prof_mem.h:
runtime/mercury_prof_mem.c:
	Rename prof_malloc() as MR_prof_malloc().
	Rename prof_make() as MR_PROF_NEW() and add MR_PROF_NEW_ARRAY().

runtime/mercury_wrapper.h:
	Minor modifications to reflect the new interface to mercury_prof.c.

runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
runtime/mercury_label.c:
	Rename the old `-p' (primary cache size) option as `-C'.
	Add a new `-p' option to disable profiling.

runtime/Mmakefile:
	Add mercury_heap_profile.[ch].
	Put the list of files in alphabetical order.
	Delete some obsolete stuff for supporting `.mod' files.
	Mention that libmer_dll.h and libmer_globals.h are
	produced by Makefile.DLLs.

runtime/mercury_imp.h:
	Mention that libmer_dll.h is produced by Makefile.DLLs.

runtime/mercury_dummy.c:
	Change a comment to refer to libmer_dll.h rather than
	libmer_globals.h.

compiler/llds.m:
	Add a new field to `create' and `incr_hp' instructions
	holding the name of the type, for heap profiling.

compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Initialize the new field of `create' instructions with
	the appropriate type name.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Output incr_hp_msg() / tag_incr_hp_msg() instead of
	incr_hp() / tag_incr_hp().

compiler/*.m:
	Minor changes to most files in the compiler back-end to
	accomodate the new field in `incr_hp' and `create' instructions.

library/io.m:
	Add `io__report_full_memory_stats'.

library/benchmarking.m:
	Add `report_full_memory_stats'.  This uses the information saved
	by runtime/mercury_heap_profile.{c,h} to print out a report
	of memory usage by procedures and by types.
	Also modify `report_stats' to print out some of that information.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	If `--statistics' is enabled, call io__report_full_memory_stats
	at the end of main/2.  This will print out full memory statistics,
	if the compiler was compiled with memory profiling enabled.

compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
runtime/mercury_grade.h:
scripts/ml.in:
scripts/mgnuc.in:
scripts/init_grade_options.sh-subr:
scripts/parse_grade_options.sh-subr:
	Add new option `--memory-profiling' and new grade `.memprof'.
	Add `--time-profiling' as a new synonym for `--profiling'.
	Also add `--profile-memory' for more fine-grained control:
	`--memory-profiling' implies both `--profile-memory' and
	`--profile-calls'.

scripts/mprof_merge_runs:
	Update to handle the new format of Prof.Counts and to
	also merge Prof.MemoryWords and Prof.MemoryCells.

profiler/options.m:
profiler/mercury_profile.m:
	Add new options `--profile memory-words' (`-m'),
	`--profile memory-cells' (`-M') and `--profile time' (`-t').
	Thes options make the profiler select a different count file,
	Prof.MemoryWords or Prof.MemoryCells instead of Prof.Counts.
	specific to time profiling.

profiler/read.m:
profiler/process_file.m:
profiler/prof_info.m:
profiler/generate_output.m:
	Update to handle the new format of the counts file.
	When reading the counts file, look at the first line of
	the file to determine what is being profiled.

profiler/globals.m:
	Add a new global variable `what_to_profile' that records
	what is being profiled.

profiler/output.m:
	Change the headings to reflect what is being profiled.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document memory profiling.
	Document new options.

doc/user_guide.texi:
compiler/options.m:
	Comment out the documentation for `.proftime'/`--profile-time',
	since doing time and call profiling seperately doesn't work,
	because the code addresses change when you recompile with a
	different grade.  Ditto for `.profmem'/`--profile-memory'.
	Also comment out the documentation for
	`.profcalls'/`--profile-calls', since it is redundant --
	`.memprof' produces the same information and more.

configure.in:
	Build a `.memprof' grade.  (Hmm, should we do this only
	if `--enable-all-grades' is specified?)
	Don't ever build a `.profcalls' grade.

2a97f96d1a Generate stack layouts for accurate garbage collection.
Estimated hours taken: 50

Generate stack layouts for accurate garbage collection.

compiler/base_type_layout.m:
	Change the order of some arguments so that threaded data
	structures are more often in the final two arguments (allows
	easy use of higher order predicates).
	Simplify some code using higher order preds.
	Export base_type_layout__construct_pseudo_type_info, as
	stack_layout.m needs to be able to generate pseudo_type_infos
	too.
	Fix problems with cell numbers being re-used -- get the next
	cell number from module_info, and update module_info
	after processing base_type_layouts.

compiler/code_gen.m:
	Add information about each procedure to the continuation info.
	Handle new field in c_procedure.

compiler/continuation_info.m:
	Redesign most of this module to deal with labels
	that are continuation points for multiple calls.
	Change the order of some arguments so that threaded data
	structures are in the final two arguments.
	Cleaned up and documented code.

compiler/dupelim.m:
compiler/exprn_aux.m:
	Handle new label_entry data type.

compiler/export.m:
compiler/opt_debug.m:
	Handle new label_entry and general data types.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Add an argument to get_proc_label to control whether a
	"mercury_" prefix is wanted.
	Handle new label_entry and general data types.

compiler/llds.m:
	Add a new alternative for data_const - a label_entry.
	Add a new alternative for data_name - general, which
	allows any sort of data, with names generated elsewhere.
	Add the pred_proc_id as a field of c_procedure.

compiler/optimize.m:
compiler/llds_common.m:
compiler/optimize.m:
	Handle new field in c_procedure.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Generate layout information after code has been generated,
	and output stack layouts.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Document new stack_layout module.

compiler/stack_layout.m:
	New file - generates the LLDS code that defines
	global constants to hold the stack_layout structures.

compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
	Add --stack-layout option which outputs stack layouts.
	Make accurate gc imply stack_layout.

27d156bbb5 Implemented a :- use_module directive. This is the same as
Estimated hours taken: 14

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	Added some documentation about when the clauses_info is valid.

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

compiler/modules.m
	Handle use_module directives.

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

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

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

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

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

Fix a bug where tag_switch.m was generating references to non-existent

tag_switch.m:
	When generating tag switch jump tables for det switches that do
	not cover the whole type, which can happen if the initial inst of
	the switch variable is a bound(...) inst that represents a
	subtype, make sure that we don't generate references to
	undefined labels for cases that occur in the switch var's type
	but not in the switch var's initial inst.  Instead, make such
	references refer to a label that jumps to `do_not_reached'.

a4a1a7788c Add support for taking the addresses of words on the heap as well as on
Estimated hours taken: 7

Add support for taking the addresses of words on the heap as well as on
on either stack. This will be used later to support tail recursion modulo
constructor application as well as parallelism.

The support provided is a first draft. Since nothing in the compiler
currently generates code that uses the new facilities, they have not been
tested yet beyond ensuring that they don't interfere with the old functionality
of the compiler.

llds:
	Add a new type, mem_ref, that denotes a reference to a stackvar,
	a framevar, or to a field of a cell on the heap.

	Add a new function symbol to the type rval: mem_addr(mem_ref),
	which represents the address of the word denoted by the mem_ref.

	Add a new function symbol to the type lval: mem_ref(rval).
	Given that Rval is an address, mem_ref(Rval) denotes the word
	at that address. The value of Rval should have originally come from
	a mem_addr(_) type rval, but that value could have been store in
	registers, stack slots etc since then.

code_exprn, code_info, dupelim, exprn_aux, garbage_out, livemap, llds_common,
llds_out, middle_rec, opt_debug, opt_util, vn_cost, vn_filter:

vn_type:
	Add vn shadows of the new things in llds.

07635fbf96 Fix things so that we can now generate unboxed floats as
Estimated hours taken: 24

Fix things so that we can now generate unboxed floats as
static constants.  We do this by generating static constants
as structs rather than as arrays.

Reorganize the way llds_out.m handles types to simplify the code
and eliminate unnecessary casts in the generated C code.

llds.m, vn_type.m:
	Change `llds_type' to be more precise, by adding two new
	alternatives (data_ptr and code_ptr) to the categories,
	and modifying the various type predicates accordingly.

llds.m, base_type_info.m, base_type_layout.m, garbage_out.m,
llds_common.m, opt_debug.m, unify_gen.m.
	Remove the "has pointers?" field from the `c_data' and
	`data_addr' types in llds.m and from the `cell_info' type
	in llds_common.m, since they're not needed anymore.
	(Instead llds_out.m uses `llds__rval_type' etc. to figure out
	whether something has pointers.)

base_type_info.m, base_type_layout.m:
	Fix a bug: the `exported' field in the `c_data' type
	needs to be set to yes for `Status = abstract_exported' types
	as well as for `Status = exported' types.

exprn_aux.m:
	If unboxed_float is yes, then floats are now considered constants.

llds_out.m:
	Change `output_rval' and `output_lval' so that they output a value
	as its natural type, rather than cast to Integer or Word.
	Add a new predicate `output_rval_as_type(Rval, Type)',
	and change most of the calls to `output_rval' to instead
	call `output_rval_as_type' specifying the appropriate type.
	Similarly add `output_lval_as_word' and change some of the
	calls to `output_lval' to call `output_lval_as_word' instead.
	Eliminate `output_rval_as_float', since its functionality
	has been folded into `output_rval' and `output_rval_as_type'.
	Delete `output_rval_lval', since it's not needed anymore.
	Neither is the `args_have_pointers' predicate.

	Merge the shared code in for handling `c_data' modules and `create'
	rvals into a new predicate output_const_term_decl; this predicate
	outputs struct declarations for the generated terms, so we can
	now output floats in such terms without needing to do type punning
	in static constants.

options.m:
	`--single-prec-float' is no longer an alias for `--unboxed-float'.
	Also fix a couple of other parts of the help message.

	  bug triggered by dmo's graphics project and add a test
	  case for it.
	* Fix a couple of small bugs in the testing procedures where
	  they required you to have . in your path.


mercury/compiler/code_exprn.m,
mercury/compiler/code_info.m:
	add the predicate
		code_{exprn,info}__materialize_vars_in_rval/5
	which generates code to materialize the vars in an rval and
	updates the exprn info appropriately.
	This predicate was added because it is needed for generating
	the sub-unifications where a deconstruction has assignments
	into the term (ie field(....) = var; rather than the other
	way around).

mercury/compiler/exprn_aux.m:
	export exprn_aux__vars_in_rval.

mercury/compiler/follow_vars.m:
	fix a singleton variable warning.

mercury/compiler/unify_gen.m:
	When generating code to assign into the fields of a term
	within a deconstruction, materialize any variables in the
	the field expression (into which you are going to assign)
	before doing the assignment. Before this fix, the code generator
	was emitting code that contained var(M), which with certain
	combinations of opt flags was causing an abort in llds_out.

tests/runtests:
	tiny bugfix so that runtests works for people who don't have `.'
	in their path.

tests/valid/Mmake:
	enable `two_way_unif' which tests the bugfix in unify_gen shown above

	Rename address_const to code_addr_const, and add base_type_info_const
	as a new alternative in cons_id, and make corresponding changes
	to cons_tag.

	Make hlds_type__defn an abstract type.

llds:
	Rename address_const to code_addr_const, and add data_addr_const
	as a new alternative in rval_const.

	Change type "label" to have four alternatives, not three:
	local/2 (for internal labels),  c_local (local to a C module),
	local/1 (local a Mercury module but not necessarily to a C module,
	and exported.

llds_out:
	Keep track of the things declared previously, and don't declare them
	again unnecessarily. Associate indentation with the following item
	rather than the previous item (the influence of 244); this results
	in braces being put in different places than previously, but should be
	easier to maintain. Handle the new forms of addresses and labels.
	Refer to c_local labels as STATIC when not using --split-c-files.

code_info:
	Use a presently junk field to store a cell counter, which is used
	to allocate distinguishing numbers to create'd cells. Previously
	we used the label counter, which meant that label numbers changed
	when we optimized away some creates. Handle the new forms of
	addresses and labels.

exprn_aux:
	Handle the new forms of addresses and labels. We are now more
	precise in figuring out what label address forms will be considered
	constants by the C compilers.

others:
	Changes to handle the new forms of addresses and labels, and/or to
	access hlds_type__defn as an abstract type.

Split llds into two parts. llds.m defines the data types, while llds_out.m
has the predicates for printing the code.

Removed the call_closure instruction. Instead, we use calls to the
system-defined addresses do_call_{det,semidet,nondet}_closure. This is
how call_closure was implemented already. The advantage of the new
implementation is that it allows jump optimization of what used to be
call_closures, without new code in jumpopt.

	Set optimize_delay_slot in -O2 only if have_delay_slot was set earlier.
	This is possible now because the default optimization level is now
	set in mc.

mercury_compile:
	Change verbose output a bit to be more consistent.

dead_proc_elim:
	Export the predicates that will eventually be needed by inlining.m.

inlining.m:
	Use the information about the number of times each procedure is called
	to inline local nonrecursive procedures that are called exactly once.
	EXCEPT that this is turned off at the moment, since the inlining of
	parse_dcg_goal_2 in prog_io, which this change enables, causes the
	compiler to emit incorrect code.

prog_io:
	Moved the data type definitions to prog_data. (Even though prog_io.m

	(plus lots of time debugging the problem via email)

Fix a second occurrence of the problem with casts in the initializers
of static constants causing gcc to generate non-position-independent code.
This prevented the use of gcc on AIX RS/6000 systems, and was also
preventing us from creating genuinely shared shared libraries on Solaris.

compiler/llds.m:
	Emit static constants as `const Word * mercury_const_n [] = { ... }'
	rather than `const Word mercury_const_n [] = { ... }' not just
	in the case when the constant contains code addresses, but also
	when it contains data addresses, including addresses of other
	static constants and/or string literals.

exprn_aux.m:
	Add nondet (in, out) modes to the ..._contain_rval predicates,
	which nondeterministically generate all the contained rvals,

f7e5d837e1 A bunch of bug fixes!
code_info.m:
	Bug fix: change generate_pre_commit and generate_commit so that
	the values which need to be saved and restored are always pushed
	onto the det stack, even in nondet predicates.  The reason is
	that if the committed goal fails, curfr is not valid, so we
	can't restore the fields from the nondet stack.
	(This way may well be more efficient anyway.)

disj_gen.m, ite_gen.m:
	Handle the case when the current failure continuation is unknown
	on entry to the disjunction or nondet if-then-else by creating
	a new frame on the nondet stack.  (Originally we just aborted
	in this case; recently we "fixed" this, but it turned out that
	the fix was not correct, for the same reason as the above-mentioned
	bug in pre_commit/commit.

llds.m:
	Add succfr/1 and prevfr/1 to the rval type in llds.m,
	since they were needed by the above bug fixes.
	(This caused dozens of changes elsewhere to handle the
	new types.)
	Also fix a trivial bug that I recently introduced which

live_vars.m:
	Fix bug in allocation of stack slots for nondet code.
	(This is the one that caused the bug that ksiew and I found
	when writing a calculator program.)

peephole.m:
	Disable the succeed_discard() optimization, since it
	causes incorrect code to be generated.  It was replacing
	modframe(do_fail) ... succeed() with
	modframe(do_fail) ... succeed_discard() even when there were
	instructions such as mkframe() in between.

modes.m, hlds.m:
	When modechecking switches, record the binding of the switch variable
