d74eb22905 Fix a bug in the module import mechanism -- use_module should
Estimated hours taken: 8

Fix a bug in the module import mechanism -- use_module should
not be transitive. This change is needed for smart recompilation
to avoid needing to check whether the removal of a transitive
import could cause compilation errors -- it never should.

Also fix some bugs in the handling of type class declarations.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add a `transitively_imported' pseudo-declaration, which
	is placed before the items from `.int2' files and `.opt'
	files.

	Fix the representation of type class bodies.
	`:- typeclass foo where [].' declares a typeclass with no
	methods. `:- typeclass foo.' declares an abstract typeclass.
	The old representation made no distinction between these cases.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/module_qual.m:
	Move the declaration of type type_id from hlds_data.m to prog_data.m.
	This avoids a duplicate declaration in module_qual.m.

compiler/modules.m:
	Add a `transitively_imported' pseudo-declaration before the
	items from `.int2' files.

	Remove the bodies of typeclass declarations placed in `.int2'
	files -- the methods should not be available unless the module
	is explicitly imported.

compiler/module_qual.m:
	Items after the `transitively_imported' pseudo-declaration
	should not be considered when module qualifying locally
	declared items.

Fix a bug which caused some programs using typeclasses to
crash with a segmentation fault.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	For typeclass method implementations, make sure the
	order of the type-info and typeclass-info arguments
	matches the order used by do_call_class_method.
	The type-infos for the unconstrained type variables in
	the instance declaration and the typeclass-infos for the
	constraints on the instance declaration must come
	before any other type-infos and typeclass-infos.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add a field to the pred_info type to record for each
	typeclass method implementation which class constraints
	come from the `:- instance' declaration and which come
	from the predicate or function declaration in the
	`:- typeclass' declaration.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	Fill in the new field in the pred_info.

Estimated hours taken: 5

Fix a bug whereby polymorphism was not using the complete set of class
constraint proofs when generating a type class info, resulting in a map
lookup failure under certain conditions.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
        When generating a type class info, don't just pass the proofs for
        the instance declaration that we calculated in check_typeclass.m.
        These proofs just specify how to build the type class infos for any
        superclass constraints *given the constraints on the instance
        declaration*. Instead, we pass the union of those constraints and
        those local to the predicate. This provides proofs for the constraints
        on the instance declaration too.

compiler/typecheck.m:
        Rather than using the headvars as the set of variables that must not
        be bound when searching the superclass relation, use all the variables
        in the varset. This remove a parameter from the exported constraint
        reduction predicate.
compiler/check_typeclass.m:
        Remove the redundant parameter.

22e418f610 Improve the error message for errors in type class instance
Estimated hours taken: 1

Improve the error message for errors in type class instance
definitions that use the named (e.g. "pred(foo/N) is bar") syntax, as
suggested by Ralph Becket: for such procedures, just output "in bar/N"
rather than "in call to bar/N", since the user didn't write any
explicit call.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add a new marker `named_class_instance_method' to the pred_marker type.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
compiler/intermod.m:
	Handle the new marker.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	For instance methods defined using the named syntax,
	add the `named_class_instance_method' marker to their markers.

compiler/typecheck.m:
compiler/mode_errors.m:
	Pass the pred_markers down to hlds_out__write_call_arg_id.

e6769ef622 Record the module that each instance declaration came from.
Estimated hours taken: 8

Record the module that each instance declaration came from.
This is needed for the IL back-end, which includes that
module name in the symbol name that it generates for each
instance declaration.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add a module_name field to the `instance' item.

compiler/prog_io_typeclass.m:
	When parsing `instance' declarations, store the
	module name that they came from in the module_name field
	of the `instance' item.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add a module_name field to the `hlds_instance_defn' structure.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Copy the module_name field from the `instance' item to the
	`hlds_instance_defn' structure.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Fix an old XXX: when constructing `base_typeclass_info_const's,
	use the module name from the `hlds_instance_defn', rather than
	hard-coding the invalid value "some bogus module name".

compiler/rtti.m:
	Add a module_name field to the `base_typeclass_info' rtti_name
	and rtti_data.

compiler/base_typeclass_info.m:
	Copy the module_name field in the `hlds_instance_defn' to the
	module_name field in the `base_typeclass_info' rtti_data
	and rtti_name.

compiler/rtti_to_mlds.m:
	When constructing mlds `data_addr's, use the module_name from
	the `base_typeclass_info' rtti_name, rather than assuming that
	such references always refer to instance declarations in the
	current module.  (That assumption would be a safe one currently,
	but doing it this way is probably a bit more robust against
	future changes.)

	Trivial changes to reflect the above data structure changes.

64111f4303 Fix a bug reported by petdr.
Estimated hours taken: 5

Fix a bug reported by petdr.

compiler/typecheck.m:
        When searching the superclass relation trying to reduce a constraint C,
        we were holding all the variables in C as constant and allowing any
        others to be bound. (The theory being that any other variables must be
        variables introduced during the search eg. by a multiparameter
        typeclass that uses less than all of its parameters in one of its
        superclass constraint. These variables are effectively existentially
        quantified).
        However, this is not enough: variables from *other* assumed constraints
        must also not be bound, otherwise you risk binding the variables from
        another assumed constraint to the variables in C.

        So... now we do not bind any of the head_type_params (which makes sense
        given that these are the variables that are universally quantified from
        the head or existentially quantified from the body).

        This required passing the head_type_params down a couple of levels,
        including typecheck__reduce_context_by_rule_application, which is
        exported.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
        Add the new argument to the call to
        typecheck__reduce_context_by_rule_application.

        A test case for this. This test case was giving an abort during

        checker had recorded a bogus proof).

82378c381b Allow polymorphic ground insts. This change assumes that all inst
Estimated hours taken: 80

Allow polymorphic ground insts.  This change assumes that all inst
parameters in the mode declaration for a predicate or function are
constrained to be ground-shared.  This is a temporary measure until we
work out a nice syntax to allow the programmer to tell the compiler that
certain inst parameters may be treated as ground insts.  Since we don't
currently support unconstrained inst parameters anyway, this shouldn't
cause a problem.

	TODO:
		- Add syntax, something like `:- mode p(in(I)) <= ground(I).',
		  to specify that an inst parameter represents a ground inst.
		- Allow abstract ground insts that are treated in a similar
		  way to what we've done here with ground inst parameters.
		- Make mode checking more efficient (i.e. rewrite the mode
		  system).

compiler/inst.m:
	Add a new alternative for ground insts:
		`constrained_inst_var(inst_var)'.
	Define the type `inst_var_sub'.

compiler/inst_match.m:
	Change inst_matches_initial so that it:
		- handles constrained_inst_vars correctly;
		- returns the inst_var substitutions necessary for the call;
		- handles inst_matches_initial(ground(...), bound(...), ...)
		  properly (this requires knowing the type of the variable).

	  The last change has also been made for inst_matches_final
	  and inst_matches_binding.  However, the check is disabled for
	  now because, without alias tracking, the mode checker
	  becomes too conservative.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/mode_info.m:
compiler/simplify.m:
compiler/det_util.m:
	Include the inst_varset in the proc_info, mode_info and simplify_info.
	Add a vartypes field to the det_info.
	Remove the vartypes field from the simplify_info since it is
	now in the det_info.
	Use record syntax for these data structures and their access predicates
	to make future changes easier.

	insts to ground(shared, constrained_inst_var(V)).

	When checking or recomputing initial insts of a call, build up

compiler/mode_util.m:
	Make sure that recompute_instmap_delta recomputes the
	instmap_deltas for lambda_goals even when RecomputeAtomic = no.

compiler/type_util.m:

	nondeterministically returns the cons_ids and argument types for a
	given type.
	Add a new predicate type_util__get_consid_non_existential_arg_types

0dab66d926 Allow class methods to be impure or semipure.
Estimated hours taken: 6

Allow class methods to be impure or semipure. Previously any purity annotation
on a class method was ignored, and the method assumed to be pure. (We have
for some time caught the case of providing an impure implementation for
a (pure) class method, though).

compiler/prog_data.m:
        Add purity to the information we store about each method.
compiler/prog_io_typeclass.m:
        Record the declared purity of each method.

        For the predicate we generate corresponding to a method, add any
        purity annotations that the method has.
compiler/check_typeclass.m:
        Add the appropriate impurity marker to the predicate we generate for
        each instance method.
compiler/purity.m:
        Be careful not to spit out spurious purity warnings:
                - Never warn about excessive impurity for a class methods.
                  (The body of the method is just class_method_call, which
                  never looks impure as far as it is concerned).
                - Never warn about excessive impurity for class instance
                  method. The fact that a method is impure doesn't mean that
                  its instances need to be impure, and it would be excessive
                  to warn about it, seeing that there is no way for the user
                  to avoid it (other than actually making their implementation
                  impure...).

Estimated hours taken: 3

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
        After creating the procs to go in the dictionary for an instance
        decl, check that:
                - there is one proc per proc in the typeclass inteface
                                  - we created on pred per entry in the instance
                                    interface.

tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
        Turn the typeclass_test_9 test on again. We now pass this test.

Fix a spurious error when there is a typeclass method with multiple modes.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
        Compare the number of generated procedures with the number of methods in
        the typeclass, not the instance declarations since the typeclass has
        one per proc put the instance has one per pred.

d8cfbaf07a Fix the remaining bugs with the handling of partial qualifiers
Estimated hours taken: 10

Fix the remaining bugs with the handling of partial qualifiers
for nested modules.

compiler/module_qual.m:
	Define a new abstract type partial_qualifier_info, and a predicate
	mq_info_get_partial_qualifier_info to get this type from the mq_info.
	Define a new predicate get_partial_qualifiers/3 in module_qual.m
	which is like the old get_partial_qualifiers/2 predicate from
	modules.m except that it takes a partial_qualifier_info and
	uses the information in this to return only the partial qualifiers
	for modules which are visible, rather than returning all partial
	qualifier regardless of whether the modules that they refer to
	are in scope or not.

compiler/prog_util.m:
	Export the `insert_module_qualifier' predicate, for use in the
	definition of get_partial_qualifiers/3.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Change the code for make_hlds__ctors_add and
	hlds_module__pred_table_insert/5 so that they handles partial
	qualifiers properly, computing the partial qualifiers by
	calling get_partial_qualifiers/3 rather than by checking the
	NeedQual variable and calling get_partial_qualifiers/2.

compiler/modules.m:
	Delete the old get_partial_qualifiers/2 predicate.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Add a new field to the HLDS containing the partial_qualifier_info.
	Add a partial_qualifier_info parameter to pred_table_insert/5.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
compiler/make_hlds.m:
	When calling pred_table_insert/5, get the partial_qualifier_info
	from the HLDS and pass it as an extra argument.

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.

c6812299c2 Remove support for --args simple. We don't use it, we won't use it even for
Estimated hours taken: 4.5

Remove support for --args simple. We don't use it, we won't use it even for
experiments, and it is unnecessary complication.

If anybody were using --args simple, this would need bootstrapping, but
since nobody does, there is no need, and this can be committed as an
ordinary change.

compiler/options.m:
doc/user_guide.texi:
scripts/*.in:
scripts/*.sh-subr:
	Remove the --args option.

compiler/globals.m:
	Remove the args_method global and its access predicates.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Don't set the args_method global from the option.

compiler/arg_info.m:
	Remove support for --args simple. This allows us to remove a now
	redundant argument from an exported predicate.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Remove the code for passing -DCOMPACT_ARGS to the C compiler.

compiler/bytecode_gen.m:
compiler/fact_table.m:
compiler/follow_vars.m:
compiler/live_vars.m:
compiler/call_gen.m:
	Don't pass the unnecessary argument to arg_info.

compiler/call_gen.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Remove now unnecessary assertions.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Don't include an args_method in proc_infos; instead, include
	a slot that says whether the procedure's address is taken or not.
	(In most cases, this determined whether the args_method was
	simple or compact.) We will need this bool in the near future
	(when we generate layout structures for procedures whose address
	is taken).

	Modify the signatures of exported predicates to accommodate
	this change to the data structure.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Print the new slot, not the args_method.

compiler/lambda.m:
	When creating procedures from lambdas, set the address-taken slot
	to address_is_taken instead of setting up its args_method.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Minor changes to conform to the changes in the signatures of
	the predicates exported from hlds_pred.m.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
compiler/clause_to_proc.m:
compiler/dnf.m:
compiler/magic.m:
compiler/magic_util.m:
compiler/modecheck_call.m:
compiler/pd_info.m:
compiler/post_typecheck.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Minor changes to conform to the changes in the signatures of
	the predicates exported from hlds_pred.m and make_hlds.m.

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Remove the conditional definition of the macros that provided
	an argument-method-independent way of referring to the registers
	holding the inputs and outputs of e.g. unification procedures.
	We don't need the independence anymore, and using registers instead
	of macros in the code ensures that maintainers are aware of register
	reuse issues (e.g. they copy an input from r1 before overwriting it
	with an output).

runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
runtime/mercury_grade.h:
	Remove support for the args method component of the grade.

runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
runtime/mercury_tabling.c:
library/*.m:
	Conform to the changes in runtime/mercury_type_info.h by effectively
	applying the #defines appropriate to compact args by hand.

	Remove code and data structures only needed for simple args.
	Remove comments needed only in the presence of uncertainty about
	the args method.

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

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Clean up the code a bit, and make sure that it detects some errors
	which previously we didn't detect: duplicate or overlapping
	instance declarations, and instance declarations with methods for
	classes with no methods.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	If an instance is abstract, then we don't need to check
	that the methods in the instance body match those in the class.

compiler/base_typeclass_info.m:
	Only generate base_typeclass_infos for concrete instance
	declarations, not for abstract ones.

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'.

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.

Improve the error messages generated by check_typeclass.m.

check_typeclass.m:
        Write decent error messages, including term__contexts for the
        appropriate lines, for the errors detected by this module. These errors
        are missing or multiple definitions of instance methods and unsatisfied
        superclass constraints on instance decls.
mercury_to_mercury.m:
        Add predicates which convert class_constraints and types into strings.
        This is needed so that an error message can be created as a string,
        then formatted to fit the line, rather than writing out the error
        message as you go.

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.

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.

----------

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.

----------

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.

Get rid of unnecessary type variables when creating the auxiliary predicate

Disable the often erroneous "optimisation" in check_typeclass.m whereby we
skipped the level of indirection for instance methods if there was an exact
match for the types, modes and determinisms of the instance method.
Consequently rip out lots of useless stuff from check_typeclass.m.

Also, for methods which are functions, introduce unifications for the body
rather than calls.

Also improve a couple of error messages slightly.

Fix a bug where variable names were getting mixed up for certain introduced
instance method predicates.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	Calculate the variables names correctly (ie. get the renaming
	right).
compiler/typecheck.m:
	Make typecheck_info_get_final_info also rename the declared
	constraints for the predicate. After getting the final info, store
	the new versions of the arg types and the renamed constraints,
	regardless of whether we are doing type inference or not.

	Although the intention was originally that the var numbers would
	only be changed in typecheck_info_get_final_info when doing
	inference (since that is the only time that redundant type vars
	would be present), this is no longer the case. Preds introduced in
	typecheck.m can also have redundant type vars in the varset at the
	time of creation since they have the *class declarations's* tvarset.
	This meant that typecheck_info_get_final_info was getting rid of
	some variables, then updating the proofs, but not updating the
	constraints, arg types etc.

        When adding constraints from the instance declaration to the

        class declaration.

        This is only a concern where a class method uses type variables
        that are not parameters of the class, so was missed by the test
        cases.

Estimated hours taken: 25

A re-work of check_typeclass.m. Now, rather than the ad-hoc approach of
checking each method of each instance declaration for *exact* type and mode
correctness, we generate a new predicate that gets inserted into the HLDS.
This predicate is checked for type, mode, uniqueness and determinism
correctness in the appropriate compiler pass.

As a consequence, the check_typeclass pass now has to come before typecheck.m.
Previously, it was the final semantic analysis pass because it had to use
type, mode, uniqueness and determinism information. The new approach does not
need that information to be available.

This has the following user-visible improvements:
	- constraints on class methods are now checked properly. An
	  instance's implementation of a method may be less constrained.
	  (Previously, these constraints weren't even checked at all. Oops).
	- a method implementation may be more polymorphic than expected
	- implied modes will be used for methods if necessary

This is a much more robust approach (and it co-incides with the typeclass
paper ;-) ).

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	Introduce the auxiliary predicate for the instance method. As an
	optimisation, do not introduce the predicate if the implementation
	given is an *exact* match (in terms of types, modes and determinism).
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Put the check_typeclass pass before typechecking.
compiler/type_util.m:
	Change type_list_matches_exactly to
	type_and_constraint_list_matches_exactly since check_typeclass is
	also responsible for checking constraints on method implementations.
	(This is only used in the optimisation mentioned above).

Estimated hours taken: 15

Re-implement the part of context reduction which seeks to eliminate a
typeclass constraint by using the fact that one class is a superclass of
another. This achieves two things:
        - Fixes a bug, in that the new algorithm (correctly) searches the whole
                    superclass relation to find a path from one constraint to
          another.
        - It makes the algorithm the same as what we put in the type class
                    paper. :-)

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
        Pass the super class table to the context reduction predicate
compiler/hlds_data.m:

        than just implicitly in the class_table
compiler/make_hlds.m:
        Explicitly construct the superclass information as classes are added.
        This saves re-computing it for each constraint in typecheck.m
compiler/typecheck.m:
        Use the explicit superclass information for context reduction, rather
        than just the class table.

        When reducing the context using superclasses, recursively search the

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

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.

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:
tests/hard_coded/parent2.exp:
	Two simple tests case for the use of nested modules with
	separate compilation.

Bug fix. When there are no methods for a class, the maybe(list(pred_proc_id))
field of the hlds_instance_defn was left as no, rather than yes([]), so
base_typeclass_info.m bombed out when trying to generate the pointers to the
typeclass methods.

compiler/base_typeclass_info.m:
        Explicitly check for typeclasses with no methods, and set the
        mybe(list(pred_proc_id)) field to yes([]).

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.
