d551dd1dc9 Handle quantification analysis of bi-implication (`<=>') goals correctly.
Estimated hours taken: 10

Handle quantification analysis of bi-implication (`<=>') goals correctly.
Previously we used to expand bi-implications before doing quantification
analysis, which stuffed up the results of quantification analysis for
those goals.  We need to do quantification analysis first, and only
then can we expand bi-implications.  In addition, elimination of double
negation needs to come after expansion of bi-implication, so I moved
that from make_hlds.m to purity.m.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add a new alternative to the HLDS goal type for bi-implications.
        Also add a new predicate negate_goal, for use by purity.m.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Don't expand bi-implication here, instead just use the new
	bi_implication/2 HLDS goal type.
	Don't eliminated double negation here.

compiler/quantification.m:
	Handle quantification for bi-implications.
	Expand bi-implications.

compiler/purity.m:
	Eliminate double negation.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Add code to print out bi-implication goals.

compiler/*.m:
	Trivial changes to handle the new bi_implication/2
	alternative in the HLDS goal type.

34d52a4091 Fix a bug with switches on existential types.
Estimated hours taken: 12

Fix a bug with switches on existential types.  This bug meant that
existential types with two or more functors did not work at all,
due to internal compiler errors when compiling the unification and
comparison predicates for those types.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Add new function cons_id_adjusted_arity, which computes the
	arity _including_ the extra typeinfo and typeclassinfo
	arguments inserted for existential data types.

compiler/type_util.m:
compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Move the predicates constraint_list_get_tvars
	and constraint_get_tvars from polymorphism.m into
	type_util.m, for use in cons_id_adjusted_arity.

compiler/modes.m:
compiler/unique_modes.m:
	When modechecking the functor test in switch statements,
	use cons_id_adjusted_arity to compute the arity of the inst,

compiler/instmap.m:
	In instmap__bind_var_to_functor (and the instmap_delta version),
	use cons_id_adjusted_arity to compute the arity of the inst.

compiler/goal_util.m:
compiler/pd_info.m:

compiler/saved_vars.m:
compiler/mode_util.m:
compiler/deforest.m:
compiler/follow_code.m:
compiler/higher_order.m:
compiler/simplify.m:
	Pass the type(s) down to recompute_instmap_delta and
	instmap__bind_var_to_functor, since cons_id_adjusted_arity
	needs to know the type.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Add a `vartypes' typedef, defined by `:- type vartypes == map(prog_var, type)',
	and make use of it.  Rename the `vartypes' type in hlds_out as `maybe_vartypes'.

tests/hard_coded/Mmakefile:
tests/hard_coded/existential_type_switch.m:
tests/hard_coded/existential_type_switch.exp:
	Add a regression test.

tests/hard_coded/Mmakefile:
	Enable the existential_types_test.m test case,
	which should have been enabled previously.
	(The reason that it wasn't seems to be that I made
	a mistake when merging in the changes from the
	existential types branch.)

Estimated hours taken: 50

Remove the limitation of user-guided type specialization that
the replacement types must be ground.

compiler/higher_order.m:
	Only add extra type-infos, not typeclass-infos when
	--typeinfo-liveness is set, extracting type-infos from
	typeclass-infos where necessary. The arguments of the
	specialized version are now independent of the class context
	of the requesting procedure, which maximises the chance of multiple
	specialized calls to the same procedure being able to use the
	same code. The code to specialize calls is now slightly simpler
	because it does not have to work out how to order extra
	typeclass-info arguments.

	Specialize special preds for no-tag types where the
	wrapped type is an atomic type and the no-tag type does not
	have a user-defined equality pred. This will be useful
	for specializations involving type `term__var/1'.

	Make sure the proc_infos for specialized procedures are
	valid before reanalyzing the goals requesting the
	specializations.

	Rework the handling of branched goals to ensure that pred_infos
	and proc_infos are single threaded through branched goals - when
	higher_order.m was first written they were constant.

	Always go over all procedures for every predicate to make
	sure unifications are specialized in all procedures.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Check for type variables substituted multiple times
	or occurring on both sides of the substitution.

	Adjust the arity for specializations of functions.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Make sure the vartypes field for imported procedures is valid
	by copying it from the clauses_info to the proc_info.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
compiler/simplify.m:
compiler/table_gen.m:
compiler/magic.m:
	Remove an unused argument from polymorphism__make_type_info_vars.

compiler/type_util.m:
compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Add a predicate `type_util__type_has_user_defined_equality_pred'
	replacing similar code in det_analysis.m.

compiler/post_typecheck:
	Don't overwrite the vartypes field in the pred_info for
	automatically generated unification procedures for imported types.

library/varset.m:
	Add predicates `varset__merge_without_names' and
	`varset__merge_subst_without_names'.

compiler/equiv_type.m:
	Use the new predicates in varset.m to avoid adding the variable
	names from the declarations of equivalence types into the tvarsets
	of declarations which use those types. This is needed so that
	`varset__create_name_var_map' (used by make_hlds.m for
	`:- pragma type_spec' declarations and explicit type qualifications)
	is not confused by multiple occurrences of a variable name.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Remove documentation of the limitation that the substituted types
	must be ground.

tests/hard_coded/type_spec.m:
tests/hard_coded/type_spec.err_exp:
	Tests for non-ground substitutions and specialization of
	unification of no-tag types.

tests/invalid/type_spec.err_exp:
	Remove the error for a non-ground substitution.
	Add tests for recursive type substitutions and type variables
	with multiple replacement types.

79ab7d373d Extend the assertion system by
Estimated hours taken: 56

Extend the assertion system by
    * handling assertions in the interface of a module differently to
      those in the implementation.
    * testing an assertion for the commutivity property.


compiler/polymorphism.m:
    Remove the resolving of function calls and data constructors, do it
    in post_typecheck instead so that assertions are fully resolved.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
    Add the resolving of function calls and data constructors.
    Also call assertion__in_interface_check, if an assertion is in the
    interface.

compiler/purity.m:
    post_typecheck__finish_assertion can now print error messages so
    pass the io__states.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
    Add assertion_table_pred_ids, so that intermod knows which pred_ids
    are assertions.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
    Add predicate hlds_out__write_assertion, which is used by intermod
    to write assertions to .opt files.
    Change the behaviour of outputing a call, so that if the call is a
    function it gets written out in functional syntax.  This is
    necessary because the resolving of function symbols now occurs in
    post_typecheck (pre writing .opt files) rather than in polymorphism
    (post writing .opt files).

compiler/intermod.m:
    Change intermod so that it writes out any assertion in the
    interface to the .opt file.

compiler/modules.m:
    Ensure that assertions in the interface are not written to the
    .int files.  Assertions should only appear in .opt files.

compiler/dead_proc_elim.m:
    When intermodule optimization is turned on dead_proc_elim gets run
    before typechecking and the assertion predicates are removed.  This
    change makes dead_proc_elim keep assertions.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
    The head variables for an assertion are already known, so initialise
    the clause_info structure to those variables rather then creating
    Arity fresh variables.
    Also don't insert unifications with the head of the assertion, since
    we already know that only variables are in the head.

compiler/goal_util.m:
    Add mode `goal_calls_pred_id(in, out) is nondet' for use by
    assertion__record_preds_used_in.

compiler/assertion.m:
    Add a predicate assertion__is_comutativity_assertion, which given
    an assertion_id determines whether or not that assertion declares
    the commutivity of a pred/func.
    Add a predicate assertion__in_interface_check, which checks that an
    assertion doesn't refer to any constructors, functions and
    predicates defined in the implementation of that module (note
    doesn't handle modules imported in the implementation section
    correctly).
    Rewrite assertion__record_preds_used_in to use the nondet mode of
    goal_calls_pred_id.

compiler/accumulator.m:
    Remove the facts which declare '+' and '*' to be commutative, and
    instead use the new assertion__is_commutivity_assertion predicate.
    Also remove the bool from assoc_fact which is the commutivity of the
    predicate, since only associative predicates reside in the table
    now.

library/int.m:
    Add commutivity declarations for '+' and '*', now that they have
    been removed from the assoc_fact table.  This allows me to test that
    all of these changes actually work!

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
    Clear up the documentation (I hope) for the type call_unify_context,
    so that it is clear that the unification may also have been a
    function application.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
doc/transition_guide.texi:
    Document assertions.

compiler/polymorphism.m:

2725b1a331 Aditi update syntax, type and mode checking.
Estimated hours taken: 220

Aditi update syntax, type and mode checking.

Change the hlds_goal for constructions in preparation for
structure reuse to avoid making multiple conflicting changes.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Merge `higher_order_call' and `class_method_call' into a single
	`generic_call' goal type. This also has alternatives for the
	various Aditi builtins for which type declarations can't
	be written.

	Remove the argument types field from higher-order/class method calls.
	It wasn't used often, and wasn't updated by optimizations
	such as inlining. The types can be obtained from the vartypes
	field of the proc_info.

	Add a `lambda_eval_method' field to lambda_goals.

	Add a field to constructions to identify which RL code fragment should
	be used for an top-down Aditi closure.

	Add fields to constructions to hold structure reuse information.
	This is currently ignored -- the changes to implement structure
	reuse will be committed to the alias branch.
	This is included here to avoid lots of CVS conflicts caused by
	changing the definition of `hlds_goal' twice.

	Add a field to `some' goals to specify whether the quantification
	can be removed. This is used to make it easier to ensure that
	indexes are used for updates.

	Add a field to lambda_goals to describe whether the modes were
	guessed by the compiler and may need fixing up after typechecking
	works out the argument types.

	Add predicate `hlds_goal__generic_call_id' to work out a call_id
	for a generic call for use in error messages.

compiler/purity.m:
compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	Fill in the modes of Aditi builtin calls and closure constructions.
	This needs to know which are the `aditi__state' arguments, so
	it must be done after typechecking.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Added `:- type sym_name_and_arity ---> sym_name/arity'.

	Add a type `lambda_eval_method', which describes how a closure
	is to be executed. The alternatives are normal Mercury execution,
	bottom-up execution by Aditi and top-down execution by Aditi.

compiler/prog_out.m:
	Add predicate `prog_out__write_sym_name_and_arity', which
	replaces duplicated inline code in a few places.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add a `lambda_eval_method' field to `pred_const' cons_ids and
	`pred_closure_tag' cons_tags.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Remove type `pred_call_id', replace it with type `simple_call_id',
	which combines a `pred_or_func' and a `sym_name_and_arity'.

	Add a type `call_id' which describes all the different types of call,
	including normal calls, higher-order and class-method calls
	and Aditi builtins.

	Add `aditi_top_down' to the type `marker'.

	Remove `aditi_interface' from type `marker'. Interfacing to
	Aditi predicates is now handled by `generic_call' hlds_goals.

	Add a type `rl_exprn_id' which identifies a predicate to
	be executed top-down by Aditi.
	Add a `maybe(rl_exprn_id)'  field to type `proc_info'.

	Add predicate `adjust_func_arity' to convert between the arity
	of a function to its arity as a predicate.

	Add predicates `get_state_args' and `get_state_args_det' to
	extract the DCG state arguments from an argument list.

	Add predicate `pred_info_get_call_id' to get a `simple_call_id'
	for a predicate for use in error messages.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Write the new representation for call_ids.

	Add a predicate `hlds_out__write_call_arg_id' which
	replaces similar code in mode_errors.m and typecheck.m.

compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
	Add support for `aditi_bottom_up' and `aditi_top_down' annotations
	on pred expressions.

compiler/prog_io_util.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Add predicates
	- `prog_io_util:parse_name_and_arity' to parse `SymName/Arity'
		(moved from prog_io_pragma.m).
	- `prog_io_util:parse_pred_or_func_name_and_arity to parse
		`pred SymName/Arity' or `func SymName/Arity'.
	- `prog_io_util:parse_pred_or_func_and_args' to parse terms resembling
		a clause head (moved from prog_io_pragma.m).

compiler/type_util.m:
	Add support for `aditi_bottom_up' and `aditi_top_down' annotations
	on higher-order types.

	Add predicates `construct_higher_order_type',
	`construct_higher_order_pred_type' and
	`construct_higher_order_func_type' to avoid some code duplication.

compiler/mode_util.m:
	Add predicate `unused_mode/1', which returns `builtin:unused'.
	Add functions `aditi_di_mode/0', `aditi_ui_mode/0' and
	`aditi_uo_mode/0' which return `in', `in', and `out', but will
	be changed to return `di', `ui' and `uo' when alias tracking
	is implemented.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Add predicate `goal_util__generic_call_vars' which returns
	any arguments to a generic_call which are not in the argument list,
	for example the closure passed to a higher-order call or
	the typeclass_info for a class method call.

compiler/llds.m:
compiler/exprn_aux.m:
compiler/dupelim.m:
compiler/llds_out.m:
compiler/opt_debug.m:
	Add builtin labels for the Aditi update operations.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Add predicate predicate_table_search_pf_sym, used for finding
	possible matches for a call with the wrong number of arguments.

compiler/intermod.m:
	Don't write predicates which build `aditi_top_down' goals,
	because there is currently no way to tell importing modules
	which RL code fragment to use.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Obey the `cannot_remove' field of explicit quantification goals.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Parse Aditi updates.

	Don't typecheck clauses for which syntax errors in Aditi updates
	are found - this avoids spurious "undefined predicate `aditi_insert/3'"
	errors.

	Factor out some common code to handle terms of the form `Head :- Body'.
	Factor out common code in the handling of pred and func expressions.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Typecheck Aditi builtins.

	Allow the argument types of matching predicates to be adjusted
	when typechecking the higher-order arguments of Aditi builtins.

	Change `typecheck__resolve_pred_overloading' to take a list of
	argument types rather than a `map(var, type)' and a list of
	arguments to allow a transformation to be performed on the
	argument types before passing them.

compiler/error_util.m:
	Move the part of `report_error_num_args' which writes
	"wrong number of arguments (<x>; expected <y>)" from
	typecheck.m for use by make_hlds.m when reporting errors
	for Aditi builtins.

compiler/modes.m:
compiler/unique_modes.m:
compiler/modecheck_call.m:
	Modecheck Aditi builtins.

compiler/lambda.m:
	Handle the markers for predicates introduced for
	`aditi_top_down' and `aditi_bottom_up' lambda expressions.

compiler/polymorphism.m:

compiler/call_gen.m:
	Generate code for Aditi builtins.

compiler/unify_gen.m:
compiler/bytecode_gen.m:
	Abort on `aditi_top_down' and `aditi_bottom_up' lambda
	expressions - code generation for them is not yet implemented.

	a new procedure for each Aditi predicate called from C.

compiler/rl_out.pp:

8c97633e71 Allow construction unifications for existentially typed functors,
Estimated hours taken: 6

Allow construction unifications for existentially typed functors,
using the syntax "X = 'new foo'(Y)" rather than the usual "X = foo(Y)".
We need to use a special syntax for exisentially typed constructions
because type analysis and polymorphism need to know which occurrences
of existentially typed functors are constructors and which are deconstructors.

Note that we still don't yet support RTTI for existentially typed data types.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	For existentially typed functors, allow the functor to have
	a "new " prefix, and if so, make the quantifiers and constraints
	universal rather than existential.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	For unifications with existentially typed functors,
	check for a "new " prefix on the functor.
	If the functor has such a prefix, strip off the prefix,
	and treat the unification as a construction rather than
	treating it as a deconstruction.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Define a new predicate `remove_new_prefix', for use by typecheck.m
	and polymorphism.m.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
	For construction unifications, check that all the type_info
	and typeclass_info arguments introduced by polymorphism.m
	are ground.

tests/hard_coded/typeclasses/existential_data_types.m:

ec86c88404 Merge in the changes from the existential_types_2 branch.
Estimated hours taken: 4

Merge in the changes from the existential_types_2 branch.

This change adds support for mode re-ordering of code involving
existential types.  The change required modifying the order of the
compiler passes so that polymorphism comes before mode analysis,
so that mode analysis can check the modes of the `type_info' or
`typeclass_info' variables that polymorphism introduces, so that
it can thus re-order the code accordingly.

This change also includes some more steps towards making existential data
types work.  In particular, you should be able to declare existentially
typed data types, the compiler will generate appropriate unification
and compare/3 routines for them, and deconstruction unifications for them
should work OK.  However, currently there's no way to construct them
except via `pragam c_code', and we don't generate correct RTTI for them,
so you can't use `io__write' etc. on them.

79dcbbef15 User-guided type specialization.
Estimated hours taken: 60

User-guided type specialization.

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
compiler/modules.m:
compiler/module_qual.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Handle `:- pragma type_spec'.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Factor out some common code to parse predicate names with arguments.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Added a field to the module_sub_info to hold information about
	user-requested type specializations, filled in by make_hlds.m
	and not used by anything after higher_order.m.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	For each `:- pragma type_spec' declaration, introduce a new predicate
	which just calls the predicate to be specialized with the
	specified argument types. This forces higher_order.m to produce
	the specialized versions.

compiler/higher_order.m:
	Process the user-requested type specializations first to ensure
	that they get the correct names.
	Allow partial matches against user-specified versions, e.g.
		map__lookup(map(int, list(int)), int, list(int)) matches
		map__lookup(map(int, V), int, V).
	Perform specialization where a typeclass constraint matches a
	known instance, but the construction of the typeclass_info is
	done in the calling module.
	Give slightly more informative progress messages.

compiler/dead_proc_elim.m:
	Remove specializations for dead procedures.

compiler/prog_io_util.m:
	Change the definition of the `maybe1' and `maybe_functor' types
	to avoid the need for copying to convert between `maybe1'
	and `maybe1(generic)'.
	Changed the interface of `make_pred_name_with_context' to allow
	creation of predicate names for type specializations which describe
	the type substitution.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Make the specification of pragma declarations in error
	messages consistent. (There are probably some more to
	be fixed elsewhere for termination and tabling).

compiler/intermod.m:
	Write type specialization pragmas for predicates declared
	in `.opt' files.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Export `mercury_output_item' for use by intermod.m.

compiler/options.m:
	Add an option `--user-guided-type-specialization' enabled
	with `-O2' or higher.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	`--type-specialization' implies `--user-guided-type-specialization'.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add predicates to construct constants. These are duplicated
	in several other places, I'll fix that as a separate change.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Added functions `int_type/0', `string_type/0', `float_type/0'
	and `char_type/0' which return the builtin types.
	These are duplicated in several other places,
	I'll fix that as a separate change.

library/private_builtin.m:
	Added `instance_constraint_from_typeclass_info/3' to extract
	the typeclass_infos for a constraint on an instance declaration.
	This is useful for specializing class method calls.
	Added `thread_safe' to various `:- pragma c_code's.
	Added `:- pragma inline' declarations for `builtin_compare_*', which
	are important for user-guided type specialization. (`builtin_unify_*'
	are simple enough to go in the `.opt' files automatically).

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	`instance_constraint_from_typeclass_info/3' does not need type_infos.
	Add `instance_constraint_from_typeclass_info/3' to the
	list of `typeclass_info_manipulator's which higher_order.m
	can interpret.

NEWS:
doc/reference_manual.texi:
doc/user_guide.texi
	Document the new pragma and option.

tests/invalid/Mmakefile:

tests/invalid/type_spec.err_exp:
	Test error reporting for invalid type specializations.

03e724c034 Start the changes needed to simplify type_ctor_*.
Estimated hours taken: 7

Start the changes needed to simplify type_ctor_*.

This simplification involves lifting the most important information
about the type representation out of type_ctor_layout and
type_ctor_functors and putting it into type_ctor_info.  In many
cases this will mean we can do without type_ctor_layout altogether,
and we will be able to remove the "functors indicator" from
type_ctor_functors.  The type_ctor_layout can be simplified quite a bit
because it only needs to describe discriminated unions.

compiler/dead_proc_elim.m:
compiler/hlds_data.m:

	Add code to generate the new MR_TypeCtorRepresentation
	field.
	Don't actually generate it yet, we need to bootstrap this
	change.  So we create two references to type_info_layouts
	instead.  When the compiler has bootstrapped we can change
	the runtime to use the later reference, and convert the
	earlier reference into MR_TypeCtorRepresentation.

library/builtin.m:
library/private_builtin.m:
runtime/mercury_bootstrap.c:
runtime/mercury_type_info.c:
	Add the new field to type_ctor_infos defined in C.
	Fix a few minor bugs with these type_ctor_infos (incorrect
	lengths of string constants, lingering references to
	term_to_type preds.

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Move the offset for type name and module name down one.
	This won't cause any bootstrapping problems because the compiler
	barely uses such names.

	Add new types:
		MR_TypeCtorInfo
			This struct will replace MR_TYPE_CTOR_INFO_*
			macros and offsets.

		MR_TypeCtorRepresentation
		MR_DiscUnionTagRepresentation
			Will replace the more expensive to compute
			MR_DataRepresentation.

Estimated hours taken: 25

Fix a bug whereby the @#$!% typeclass-infos nested inside another
typeclass-info (ie. from the constraints on an instance decl) were being
inserted in the reverse order. This caused the code to jump to the wrong
type class method.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
        Reverse the list of argument variables that we get back from
        polymorphism__make_typeclass_info_vars_2 because they are built
        up in reverse.

        Also fix a buggy comment about the order that the extra arguments
        are added in by this pass.

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()'.

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).

Estimated hours taken: 20

Fix a bug in the renaming of tvars in type class constraint proofs, and
generally clean up the handling of variable renaming in polymorphism.m.

Change the representation of constraint_proofs to only hold the number of an
instance declaration and not the hlds_instance_defn itself. This means that
polymorphism must look up the instance table to get at hlds_instance_defn,
then calculate the appropriate renamings and substitutions. The rationale
behind this is that the proofs for the superclasses, stored in the
hlds_instance_defn, also need to be renamed. However, we can't just rename
them during typecheck.m because they may not contain proofs for *all* their
ancestors --- that would require topologically sorting the instance defns
before check_typeclass.m.

Also delete the code which attempts to specialise class method calls because
Simon's recent change does this anyway.

        calling it.

3e244090d7 Rework the handling of types in higher_order.m.
Estimated hours taken: 50

Rework the handling of types in higher_order.m.
- Fix bugs in higher_order.m that stopped it working with --typeinfo-liveness.
- Perform type and typeclass specialisation.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Previously the type of typeclass_infos variables did not contain
	any information about the constraint about which the variable contains
	information. Now the type of a typeclass_info is
	`private_builtin:typeclass_info(
		private_builtin:constraint([ClassName, ConstrainedTypes]))'.
	This allows predicates such as type_list_subsumes to check that
	the class constraints match.
	Note that `private_builtin:constraint' has no declaration, so
	a lookup in the type definition map will fail. That's OK, because
	type_to_type_id will fail on it, so it will be treated as a type
	variable by any code which doesn't manipulate types directly.
	Added polymorphism__typeclass_info_class_constraint to get the
	class_constraint from a typeclass_info's type. This isn't used yet.

	Also, fix a bug in extract_type_info: an entry in the typeinfo_var_map
	was being overwritten using an entry from a dummy typevarset. Actually
	the optimization to overwrite the location of the type_info after
	extracting it from a typeclass_info was wrong because the type_info
	won't be in that location in other branches.

compiler/higher_order.m:
	Rework the handling of type substitutions. Now the types of the
	called procedure are `inlined' into the calling procedure, rather
	than building up the types of the specialised version using the
	higher-order arguments. The advantage of this is that the code is
	a bit simpler and handles extra type_infos properly. The disadvantage
	is that the argument types for specialised versions may be more
	specific than they need to be, so in some cases more specialised
	versions will be created than before.
	Also, don't actually rebuild the higher-order terms in the specialised
	versions - just pass the terms through in case they are needed.
	Handle the extra typeinfos required for --typeinfo-liveness.
	Specialize calls to unify/2, index/2 and compare/3.
	Specialize class_method_calls.
	Specialize calls to the predicates in private_builtin.m which
	manipulate typeclass_infos.

compiler/type_util.m:
	type_to_type_id now fails on the dummy `constraint' type.
	Remove typeinfos for non-variable types from the typeinfo_varmap
	after inlining and higher-order specialisation.

compiler/inlining.m:
	Factor out some common code to handle type substitutions
	for use by higher_order.m.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Return the list of extra type_info variables added to the
	argument list.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Take a set of non-locals as an argument to
	goal_util__extra_nonlocal_typeinfos rather than extracting
	them from a goal.

compiler/special_pred.m:
	Handle unmangled unify/compare/index in special_pred_get_type.

compiler/base_type_layout.m:
	Don't generate references to the typeinfo for
	`private_builtin:constraint' - it doesn't exist.

compiler/unused_args.m:
	Don't barf on specialised unification predicate names.

compiler/options.m:
	Added options:
	`--type-specialization' (default off).
	`--higher-order-size-limit' - restrict the size of specialized
		versions produced by higher_order.m.
	`--disable-opt-for-trace' (default on) - where possible don't
		change the options to make the trace match the source code.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Don't disable higher_order.m when --typeinfo-liveness is set.
	Handle `--disable-opt-for-trace'.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
compiler/*.m:
	Add the instance number to `base_typeclass_info_const' cons_ids,
	so that higher_order.m can easily index into the list of instances
	for a class to find the methods.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Use the correct varset when printing out the constraint proofs.
	Write the typeclass_info_varmap for each procedure.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Print type variables with variable numbers.

library/private_builtin.m:
	Add the argument to the typeclass_info type to hold the representation
	of the constraint.

runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
	Semidet and nondet class_method_calls where
	(0 < num_arg_typeclass_infos < 4) were aborting at runtime
	because arguments were being placed starting at r1 rather
	than at r(1 + num_arg_typeclass_infos).

doc/user_guide.texi
	Document the new options.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Update the role of higher_order.m.

tests/hard_coded/typeclasses/extra_typeinfo.m:
	Test case for the mercury_ho_call.c bug and the polymorphism.m
	extract_typeinfo bug and for updating the typeclass_info_varmap
	for specialised versions.

6455e041cb Merge in the changes from the existential types branch,
Estimated hours taken: 6
	(plus another 80 or so already recorded for
	my commits on the existential_types branch)

Merge in the changes from the existential types branch,
and make some modifications to address dgj's code review comments.

These changes add support for existentially quantified type variables
and type class constraints on functions and predicates.
(Existential data types, however, are not supported -- see below.)

Existentially quantified type variables are introduced with
an explicit `some [T]', e.g. `:- some [T] pred foo(T)'.
Existentially quantified type class constraints are introduced
with `&' instead of `<=', e.g. `:- some [T] (pred foo(T) & ord(T))'.

There's still several limitations:

0.  XXX It's not yet documented in the language reference manual.

1.  XXX It doesn't do any mode checking or mode reordering.
    If you write code that uses existentially typed procedures in the
    wrong order, then you'll get an internal error in polymorphism.m
    or in the code generator.  (Cases where a type_info has no
    producer at all are caught by the check for unbound type
    variables in post_typecheck.m.)

    To support this, we need to change things so that polymorphism.m
    gets invoked before mode checking.

2.  Using `in' modes on arguments of existential type won't work.
    If you try, you will get a compile error.

    It would be nice to extend things to allow this kind of
    "implied mode" for type_infos, where an existential type
    becomes a universal type if some value of that type is
    input.  Supporting this would require first fixing
    limitation 1 (described above) and then

3.  There's no support for `pragma c_code' for procedures
    with existential type class constraints.
    (In fact, there's not really any support for `pragma c_code'
    for procedures with universal type class constraints either --
    the C code has no way of getting access to the type class info.)

4.  XXX Taking the address of something which is existentially typed
    should be illegal, but we don't check this.

In addition, these changes in this batch make a start towards allowing
existentially typed data types.  The compiler now accepts existential
quantifiers and type class constraints on type definitions, and type
checks them accordingly (assuming all functor occurrences are
deconstructors, not constructors -- see limitation 2 above).  But
there's no special handling for them in polymorphism.m, so if you try
to use them, it will abort with an internal error.

The changes also includes fixes for a couple of bugs in typechecking
and polymorphism that I discovered while making the above changes,
and an improvement to the error reporting from typecheck.m in one case.
Those changes are listed separately below.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add a new type `class_constraints', which holds two different
	lists of constraints, namely the existentially quantified constraints
	and the universally quantified ones.
	Add a new field to the parse tree representation of pred and
	func declarations to hold a list of the existentially quantified
	type variables, and change the `list(class_constraint)' into
	`class_constraints' so that we can store existential constraints too.
	Add new fields to the `constructor' data type (formerly just a pair)
	to hold the existentially quantified type variables and
	type class constraints.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add several new fields to the pred_info:
	  - a list of the existentially quantified type variables;
	  - a list of the "HeadTypeParams": type variables which
	    cannot be bound by this predicate (i.e. those whose type_infos
	    come from this pred's caller or are returned from
	    other preds called by this one);
	  - and a list of unsatisfied type class constraints.
	Add a predicate pred_info_get_univ_quant_tvars to compute the
	universally quantified type variables.
	Change the pred constraints field from `list(class_constraint)'
	to `class_constraints' so that it can hold existential constraints too.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add new fields to hlds_cons_defn to hold the existentially
	quantified type variables and type class constraints.

compiler/*.m:
	Minor changes to reflect the above-mentioned data structure
	changes in prog_data.m, hlds_pred.m, and hlds_data.m.

compiler/prog_io.m:
	Add code to parse the new constructs.

	Also rewrite the code for parsing purity specifiers,
	type quantifiers and type class constraints, using basically
	the method suggested by Peter Schachte: treat these as
	"declaration attributes", and have parse_decl strip off
	all the declaration attributes into a seperate list and
	then pass that list to process_decl, which for each different
	kind of declaration processes the attributes which are
	appropriate for that declaration and then calls check_no_attributes
	to ensure that there were no inappropriate attributes.

	The purpose of this rewrite was to allow it to handle the new
	constructs properly, and to avoid unnecessary code duplication.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Add code to pretty-print the new constructs.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Copy the new fields in the parse tree into the
	corresponding new fields in the pred_info.
	Add code to check for various misuses of quantifiers.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Print out the new fields in the pred_info (except the
	unsatisfied type class constraints -- if these are non-empty,
	post_typecheck.m will print them out in the error message).
	When printing out types, pass the AppendVarNums parameter down,
	so that HLDS dumps will distinguish between different type
	variables that have the same name.
	Delete hlds_out__write_constructor, since it was doing exactly
	the same thing as mercury__output_ctor.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Lots of changes to handle existential types and existential
	type class constraints.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	When checking for unbound type variables,
	use the value of HeadTypeParams from the pred_info.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Delete `type_and_constraint_list_matches_exactly', since it was not
	used.  Add various `apply_variable_renaming_to_*' predicates for
	renaming constraints.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Lots of changes to handle existential types and existential
	type class constraints.
	Also some changes to make the code more maintainable:

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Put curly braces around the definitions of 'some'/2 and '&'/2 functors
	in `:- type' definitions, to avoid them being misinterpreted as
	existential type constraints.

compiler/goal_util.m:
compiler/polymorphism.m:
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/lambda.m:
	Include type_infos for existentially quantified type variables
	and type_class_infos for existential constraints
	in the set of extra variables computed by
	goal_util__extra_type_info_vars.

compiler/inlining.m:
	Change inlining__do_goal to handle inlining of calls to
	existentially typed predicates -- for them, instead of not
	binding any type variables at all in the caller, it allows the
	call to bind any type variables in the caller except for those
	that are universally quantified.

compiler/inlining.m:
compiler/deforest.m:
	Call pred_info_get_univ_quant_tvars and pass the
	result to inlining__do_inline_goal.

----------

Improve an error message.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Improve error reporting by checking type class constraints for
	satisfiability as we go and thus reporting unsatisfiable constraints
	as soon as possible, rather than only at the end of the clause.
	Previously we already did that for the case of ground constraints,
	but they are not the only unsatsfiable constraints: constraints
	on head type params (type variables which cannot be bound) are
	also unsatisfiable if they can't be eliminated straight away
	by context reduction.

tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
tests/invalid/typeclass_test_7.{m,err_exp}:
	Regression test for the above change.

----------

Avoid problems where type inference was reporting some
spurious errors for predicates using type classes,
because the check for unsatisfied type class constraints
was being done before the final pass of type inference
had finished.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add new field to the pred_info containing the unproven
	type class constraints.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	When inferring type class constraints, make sure that before
	we save the results back in the pred_info, we restrict the
	constraints to the head type variables.  Constraints
	on other type variables should be treated as
	unsatisfied constraints.

	Don't check for unsatisfied type class constraints at the
	end of each pass; instead, just save the unproven type class
	constraints in the pred_info.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	Check for unsatisfied type class constraints, using
	the new field in the pred_info.

tests/hard_coded/typeclasses/inference_test_2.{m,exp}:
tests/invalid/Mmakefile:

----------

Fix a bug with the computation of the non-locals for
predicates with more than one constraint on the same type variable --
it was only including one of the type-class-infos, rather than all of them.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Change `goal_util__extra_nonlocal_typeinfos' so that it gets
	passed the TypeClassInfoVarMap and uses this to include all
	the appropriate typeclass infos in the extra nonlocals.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:

af6f18ab3f Fergus's recent change to the handling of some builtins broke the tracing
Estimated hours taken: 20

Fergus's recent change to the handling of some builtins broke the tracing
of those builtins. The following changes are a fix for this.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Export the predicate that checks whether a predicate is a builtin
	that lacks the usually necessary typeinfos.

	Comment out a misleading and in any case not very useful progress
	message.

compiler/liveness.m:
	Turn off type_info liveness for builtins without typeinfos.
	Since these builtins establish no gc points and shouldn't be
	execution traced, this is OK.

	Make type_info liveness part of live_info, since it can now be
	incorrect to look up the value of the option. (This may yield
	a speedup.)

compiler/live_vars.m:
compiler/store_alloc.m:
	Pass the pred_id to initial_liveness to liveness.m can do the test.

compiler/passes_aux.m:
	Add a new traversal type that passes along the pred_id.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Turn off execution tracing for the modules builtin.m and
	private_builtin.m. The latter contains the interface predicates
	for the builtins without typeinfos. Since the interface predicates
	also lack the typeinfos, the compiler would get an internal abort
	if we left execution tracing on.

	In any case, these two modules contain stuff that users should
	consider language builtins, which means they should not be execution
	traced (they can still be stack traced in the right grade).

	Use the new traversal type for the modules that now need the pred_id.

compiler/globals.m:
	Allow the trace level to be set from outside, in this case
	mercury_compile.m.

The next batch of changes have to do with adding a stack dump command
to the debugger. Since debugging is possible even in non-debug grades,
this in turn requires allowing stack tracing to work in non-debug grades,
on programs in which only some modules are compiled with execution
(and hence stack) tracing.

compiler/llds_out.m:
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
	Llds_out used to output "#include <mercury_imp.h>" as the first
	substantive thing in the generated C file. The set of #define
	parameters in effect when mercury_imp.h is processed determines
	whether the macros that optionally register stack layouts for label
	actually do so or not. The values of these parameters are derived
	from the grade, which means that with this setup it is not possible
	for a non-debug grade program to register its stack layouts in the
	label table.

	The new version of llds_out looks up the option that says whether
	this module is compiled with execution tracing or not, and if it is,
	it generates a #define MR_STACK_TRACE_THIS_MODULE *before* the #include
	of mercury_imp.h. This causes mercury_conf_param.h, included from
	mercury_imp.h, to define the macros MR_USE_STACK_LAYOUTS and
	and MR_INSERT_LABELS, which in turn cause stack layouts for labels
	in this module to be generated and to be inserted into the label
	table, *without* changing the grade string (this last part is why
	we do not simply define MR_STACK_TRACE).

	Use the same mechanism to #include mercury_trace.h when doing
	execution tracing, since it is simpler than the mechanism we
	used to use (mercury_compile.m including the #include in a list
	of C header file fragments).

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
	Split the MR_NEED_INITIALIZATION_CODE macro into two parts.
	The first, MR_MAY_NEED_INITIALIZATION, now controls whether
	initialization code makes it into the object file of a module.
	The second, MR_NEED_INITIALIZATION_AT_START, determines whether
	the initialization code is called before main/2.

	When a module is compiled with execution tracing, the macro
	MR_INSERT_LABELS turns on MR_MAY_NEED_INITIALIZATION but not
	MR_NEED_INITIALIZATION_AT_START. The debugger will make sure
	that the initialization code has been called before it tries
	to do a stack dump (which needs the initialization code to have
	been executed, because it needs labels to have been put into the label
	table so that from a return address it can find the layout of the
	proc to which it belongs).

	Define MR_NEED_INITIALIZATION_AT_START if PROFILE_TIME is defined,
	since if PROFILE_TIME is defined mercury_wrapper.c calls init_modules.
	The fact that MR_NEED_INITIALIZATION_CODE didn't used to be defined
	when PROFILE_TIME was defined was, I believe, a bug, which was
	not detected because we do not turn on PROFILE_TIME without also
	turning on PROFILE_CALLS.

runtime/mercury_stack_trace.[ch]:
	Change the way stack dumps are done, to make it possible to
	print stack dumps from the debugger and to use trivial run-length
	encoding on the output (so that 100 consecutive calls to p
	yield the line "p * 100", rather than 100 lines of "p").

	The stack routine now returns an indication of whether the stack dump
	was fully successful, and if not, a description of the reason why not.
	This requires knowing when we have found the end of the stack dump,
	so we provide a global variable, MR_stack_trace_bottom, which
	mercury_wrapper.c will set to global_success, the address main/2
	goes to on success.

	s/multidet/multi/

runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
	Set MR_stack_trace_bottom to the address of globals_success.
	Use MR_NEED_INITIALIZATION_AT_START to decide whether to call
	do_init_modules.

runtime/mercury_stacks.h:
	Provide variants of detstackvar(n) and framevar(n) that look up sp and
	curfr in an array of saved regs, for use by the debugger.

runtime/mercury_trace_util.c:
	Use the new variants of detstackvar(n) and framevar(n). This fixes
	an old bug on SPARCs.

runtime/mercury_trace_internal.c:
	Completely reorganize the way debugger commands are handled.
	Centralize reading in command lines, and the breaking up of command
	lines into words. The command names are the same as they were,
	but command syntax is now much easier to change.

	Add a new command "d" to dump as much of the stack as the available
	information will allow.

runtime/mercury_goto.h:
	Cosmetic changes to avoid the use of two different conditional
	compilation layout styles.

util/mkinit.c:
	Since we cannot know when we generate the _init.c file whether any
	modules will be compiled with execution tracing and will thus need
	stack tracing, we must now include in the generated _init.c file the
	code to call the initialization functions in all the modules, even if
	MR_NEED_INITIALIZATION_AT_START is not set, since init_modules
	can be called later, from the debugger. (We should be able to
	use the same approach with the accurate collector.)

247b1c24b9 Fix various invasions of the user's namespace by `mercury_builtin.m',
Estimated hours taken: 6

Fix various invasions of the user's namespace by `mercury_builtin.m',
by splitting mercury_builtin.m into two modules, called builtin.m and
private_builtin.m, and ensuring that the latter is imported as if
by `:- use_module' rather than `:- import_module'.

library/builtin.m:
library/private_builtin.m:
	Split mercury_builtin.m into two modules, builtin.m,
	which contains stuff intended to be public,
	and private_builtin.m, which contains implementation
	details that are not supposed to be public.

library/mercury_builtin.m:
	Add a comment saying that this module is no longer used, and
	should eventually be removed.  I have not removed it yet, since
	that would prevent bootstrapping with the current compiler.  It
	will be removed as a seperate change later, once all the
	changes have propagated.

compiler/prog_util.m:
	Change the definition of mercury_private_builtin_module/1 and
	mercury_public_builtin_module so that instead of automatically
	importing mercury_builtin.m as if by `import_module', the
	copiler will now automatically import builtin.m as if by
	`import_module' and private_builtin.m as if by `use_module'.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Change a call to mercury_private_builtin_module/1 for
	unsafe_promise_unique to instead call mercury_public_builtin_module/1.

compiler/unify_proc.m:
	Avoid hard-coding "mercury_builtin" by instead
	calling one of  mercury_{private,public}_builtin_module/1.

runtime/mercury_type_info.[ch]:
library/term.m:
library/std_util.m:
compiler/code_util.m:
	Change a few hard-coded instances of "mercury_builtin"
	to "builtin" or "private_builtin" as appropriate.

runtime/mercury_trace_util.c:
runtime/mercury_trace_internal.c:
library/prolog.m:
compiler/*.m:
	Update comments that refer to "mercury_builtin" to instead
	refer to either "builtin" or "private_builtin".

doc/Mmakefile:
	Don't include the interface to private_builtin.m in the
	library reference manual.

tools/bootcheck:
	Add `-p'/`--copy-profiler' option.  This is needed to get
	the above changes to bootstrap.

tools/test_mercury:
	Pass `-p' to tools/bootcheck.

5e86fb5715 Fix some bugs in the handling of "non-simple" type class constraints
Estimated hours taken: 12

Fix some bugs in the handling of "non-simple" type class constraints
(ones for which the types being constrained are not just type variables).

compiler/prog_io_typeclass.m:
	Ensure that constraints on type class declarations must be "simple".
	This is needed the ensure termination of type checking.
	(We already did this for instance declarations, but not for
	superclass constraints on type class declarations.)

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Document the invariant that the types in a type class constraint
	must not contain any information in their term__context fields.

compiler/type_util.m:
compiler/equiv_type.m:
compiler/polymorphism.m:
compiler/prog_io_typeclass.m:
	Enforce the above-mentioned invariant.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Allow the declared constraints to be a superset of the
	inferred constraints.
	When performing context reduction, eliminate declared
	constraints at each step rather than only at the end.
	Remove declared constraints and apply superclass rules
	before applying instance rules.
	When applying instance rules, make sure that it is a type
	error if there is no matching instance rule for a ground
	constraint.
	If context reduction results in an error, restore the
	original type assign set, to avoid repeating the same
	error message at every subsequent call to perform_context_reduction.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	Change the way we superclass conformance for instance declarations
	to take advantage of the new "DeclaredConstraints" argument to
	typecheck__reduce_context_by_rule_application.

11d8161692 Add support for nested modules.
Estimated hours taken: 50

Add support for nested modules.

- module names may themselves be module-qualified
- modules may contain `:- include_module' declarations
  which name sub-modules
- a sub-module has access to all the declarations in the
  parent module (including its implementation section).

This support is not yet complete; see the BUGS and LIMITATIONS below.

LIMITATIONS
- source file names must match module names
	(just as they did previously)
- mmc doesn't allow path names on the command line any more
	(e.g. `mmc --make-int ../library/foo.m').
- import_module declarations must use the fully-qualified module name
- module qualifiers must use the fully-qualified module name
- no support for root-qualified module names
	(e.g. `:parent:child' instead of `parent:child').
- modules may not be physically nested (only logical nesting, via
  `include_module').

BUGS
- doesn't check that the parent module is imported/used before allowing
	import/use of its sub-modules.
- doesn't check that there is an include_module declaration in the
	parent for each module claiming to be a child of that parent
- privacy of private modules is not enforced

-------------------

NEWS:
	Mention that we support nested modules.

library/ops.m:
library/nc_builtin.nl:
library/sp_builtin.nl:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Add `include_module' as a new prefix operator.
	Change the associativity of `:' from xfy to yfx
	(since this made parsing module qualifiers slightly easier).

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add new `include_module' declaration.
	Change the `module_name' and `module_specifier' types
	from strings to sym_names, so that module names can
	themselves be module qualified.

compiler/modules.m:
	Add predicates module_name_to_file_name/2 and
	file_name_to_module_name/2.
	Lots of changes to handle parent module dependencies,
	to create parent interface (`.int0') files, to read them in,
	to output correct dependencies information for them to the
	`.d' and `.dep' files, etc.
	Rewrite a lot of the code to improve the readability
	(add comments, use subroutines, better variable names).
	Also fix a couple of bugs:
	- generate_dependencies was using the transitive implementation
	  dependencies rather than the transitive interface dependencies
	  to compute the `.int3' dependencies when writing `.d' files
	  (this bug was introduced during crs's changes to support
	  `.trans_opt' files)
	- when creating the `.int' file, it was reading in the
	  interfaces for modules imported in the implementation section,
	  not just those in the interface section.
	  This meant that the compiler missed a lot of errors.

library/graph.m:
library/lexer.m:
library/term.m:
library/term_io.m:
library/varset.m:
compiler/*.m:
	Add `:- import_module' declarations to the interface needed
	by declarations in the interface.  (The previous version
	of the compiler did not detect these missing interface imports,
	due to the above-mentioned bug in modules.m.)

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/intermod.m:
	Change mercury_compile__maybe_grab_optfiles and
	intermod__grab_optfiles so that they grab the opt files for
	parent modules as well as the ones for imported modules.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Minor changes to handle parent module dependencies.
	(Also improve the wording of the warning about trans-opt
	dependencies.)

compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/module_qual.m:
	Ignore `:- include_module' declarations.

compiler/module_qual.m:
	A couple of small changes to handle nested module names.

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

compiler/*.m:
	Replace many occurrences of `string' with `module_name'.
	Change code that prints out module names or converts
	them to strings or filenames to handle the fact that
	module names are now sym_names intead of strings.
	Also change a few places (e.g. in intermod.m, hlds_module.m)
	where the code assumed that any qualified symbol was
	fully-qualified.

compiler/prog_io.m:
compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
	Move sym_name_and_args/3, parse_qualified_term/4 and
	parse_qualified_term/5 preds from prog_io_goal.m to prog_io.m,
	since they are very similar to the parse_symbol_name/2 predicate
	already in prog_io.m.  Rewrite these predicates, both
	to improve maintainability, and to handle the newly
	allowed syntax (module-qualified module names).
	Rename parse_qualified_term/5 as `parse_implicit_qualified_term'.

compiler/prog_io.m:
	Rewrite the handling of `:- module' and `:- end_module'
	declarations, so that it can handle nested modules.
	Add code to parse `include_module' declarations.

compiler/prog_util.m:
compiler/*.m:
	Add new predicates mercury_public_builtin_module/1 and
	mercury_private_builtin_module/1 in prog_util.m.
	Change most of the hard-coded occurrences of "mercury_builtin"
	to call mercury_private_builtin_module/1 or
	mercury_public_builtin_module/1 or both.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Add llds_out__sym_name_mangle/2, for mangling module names.

compiler/special_pred.m:
compiler/mode_util.m:
compiler/clause_to_proc.m:
compiler/prog_io_goal.m:
compiler/lambda.m:
compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Move the predicates in_mode/1, out_mode/1, and uo_mode/1
	from special_pred.m to mode_util.m, and change various
	hard-coded definitions to instead call these predicates.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Ensure that the type names `type_info' and `typeclass_info' are
	module-qualified in the generated code.  This avoids a problem
	where the code generated by polymorphism.m was not considered
	type-correct, due to the type `type_info' not matching
	`mercury_builtin:type_info'.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	Simplify the code for check_instance_pred and
	get_matching_instance_pred_ids.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/modules.m:
	Disallow directory names in command-line arguments.

compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/modules.m:
	Add a `--make-private-interface' option.
	The private interface file `<module>.int0' contains
	all the declarations in the module; it is used for
	compiling sub-modules.

scripts/Mmake.rules:
scripts/Mmake.vars.in:
	Add support for creating `.int0' and `.date0' files
	by invoking mmc with `--make-private-interface'.

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

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Document nested modules.

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

tests/general/Mmakefile:
tests/general/string_format_test.m:
tests/general/string_format_test.exp:
tests/general/string__format_test.m:
tests/general/string__format_test.exp:
tests/general/.cvsignore:
	Change the `:- module string__format_test' declaration in
	`string__format_test.m' to `:- module string_format_test',
	because with the original declaration the `__' was taken
	as a module qualifier, which lead to an error message.
	Hence rename the file accordingly, to avoid the warning
	about file name not matching module name.

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

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

tests/hard_coded/Mmakefile:
tests/hard_coded/parent.m:
tests/hard_coded/parent.child.m:
tests/hard_coded/parent.exp:
tests/hard_coded/parent2.m:
tests/hard_coded/parent2.child.m:

Estimated hours taken: 5

Fix a bug in the optimization where polymorphism.m passes a
base_type_info in place of a type_info for non-polymorphic types.
The type of the variable was `base_type_info' not `type_info'.
This caused inlining.m to be unable to compute a type substitution,
and code_util__cons_id_to_tag aborted on an unsubstituted type
variable.

compiler/mercury_builtin.m
compiler/code_util.m
	Add a new builtin, unsafe_type_cast/2, used by common.m
	to preserve type correctness.
	Make unsafe_promise_unique/2 a builtin, since it is basically
	the same as unsafe_type_cast/2.

compiler/polymorphism.m
	Set the type of a `base_type_info' passed where a `type_info'
	is expected to `type_info'.
	Don't add the type_info argument for unsafe_type_cast, since it is
	not needed and would make the code in common.m more complicated.

compiler/common.m
	Generate a call to unsafe_type_cast rather than an assignment
	unification when the assignment would not be type correct.

tests/valid/inlining_bug.m
	Regression test.

tests/general/common_type_cast.m
tests/general/common_type_cast.exp

d0085d8119 Assorted changes to make the HLDS type and mode correct
Estimated hours taken: 45

Assorted changes to make the HLDS type and mode correct
after lambda expansion. The HLDS is still not unique mode
correct after common structure elimination.

compiler/det_analysis.m
	Make sure the inferred_determinism field of the proc_info is filled
	in correctly for imported procedures and class methods.

compiler/mode_util.m
	Fix a bug in recompute_instmap_delta_call to do with unreachable
	instmaps. This caused an abort a couple of months ago when
	compiling with --deforestation (not yet committed), but
	can't currently be reproduced.

compiler/hlds_pred.m
compiler/lambda.m
	Add a field to the proc_info to record which args_method
	should be used for this procedure. Procedures directly
	called by do_call_*_closure must be compiled with
	the `compact' argument convention to avoid the need to permute
	the arguments so inputs come before outputs.

compiler/lambda.m
compiler/higher_order.m
	Remove permutation of argument variables of lambda expressions
	so the HLDS is type and mode correct and mode analysis can
	be rerun. Otherwise, rerunning mode analysis will fail on
	tests/hard_coded/ho_order.m.

compiler/arg_info.m
	Added arg_info__ho_call_args_method which returns
	an args_method which can always be directly called by
	do_call_*_closure (`compact').
	Added arg_info__args_method_is_ho_callable to check that
	a given args_method can be directly called.

compiler/unify_gen.m
	Abort if a closure is created for a procedure compiled
	with the simple argument convention.

compiler/hlds_goal.m
compiler/lambda.m
	Mode analysis was not storing the non-locals list on which the
	uni_modes field of the construction of a lambda goal was computed.
	If the nonlocals were renamed, the sort order could change, and
	the non-locals could be incorrectly matched with the arguments
	of the introduced lambda expression, causing a mode error. The
	argument list is now stored.
	This caused rerunning mode-checking on tests/valid/lazy_list.m
	after polymorphism to fail.

compiler/*.m
	Fill in the args_method field of proc_infos with the value
	from the globals.
	Handle the extra argument to the lambda_goal unify_rhs.

compiler/follow_vars.m
	Remove code to handle complicated unifications, since
	they should be removed by polymorphism.m.

compiler/special_pred.m
library/mercury_builtin.m
	Make the uniqueness of the comparison_result argument
	of builtin_compare_* and the automatically generated
	comparison procedures match that of compare/3. Unique mode
	errors will still be introduced if polymorphism.m specializes
	calls to any of the unique modes of compare/3 and then mode analysis
	is rerun, since the compiler-generated comparison procedures
	only implement the (uo, in, in) mode. (This is not yet a problem
	because currently we don't rerun mode analysis.)

runtime/mercury_ho_call.c
	Remove code in do_call_*_closure to deal with the
	`simple' args_method. Since the output arguments no longer
	need to be moved, the closure call is now a tailcall.
	Remove some magic numbers.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m
	Avoid some aborts and mode errors when rerunning mode analysis,
	especially those resulting from not_reached insts being treated
	as bound.
	Avoid aborting on higher-order predicate constants with multiple
	modes if lambda expansion has already been run.

tests/valid/higher_order.m
        Add a test case for an abort in mode analysis when
	compiling with --deforestation (not yet committed),
	due to a predicate constant for a procedure with multiple
	modes.

tests/valid/unreachable_code.m
	Add a test case for bogus higher-order unification
	mode errors in unreachable code.
