206cc8503b Revisit valid vs all proc_ids in a pred_info.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    We have several predicates that retrieve selected subsets of all
    the proc_ids in a pred_info. For those that retrieve the proc_ids
    of only valid procedures, put "valid" into their names.

    Fix a bug in the implementation of pred_info_all_non_imported_proc_ids,
    which, despite its name, used to return the proc_ids of only the
    *valid* non-imported procedures.

    The distinction between all procedures and only valid procedures
    only really matters between mode analysis and the end of the front end.
    A procedure is valid if it has no mode errors, so before mode analysis,
    all procedures are valid by default, and if any procedure has any
    mode errors, the compiler should terminate after the front end is done.

    However, the distinction matters for readability, so this diff changes
    things so that we get all proc_ids in code executed before mode analysis,
    and valid proc_ids after the front end, with calls handled on a case-by-
    case basis in between.

    The distinction also matters in the presence of errors. For example,
    we shouldn't tell users that a predicate has no modes when it has
    modes that all happen to be invalid, and we should dump procedures
    into .hlds_dump files even if they are invalid, since their invalidity
    may be exactly what the user is trying to debug.

compiler/*.m:
    Make the changes described above.

    In some places, fix bad programming style.

df9420c3e6 Flatten the unify_mode structure.
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
    Change the unify_mode structure from

        unify_modes_lhs_rhs(from_to_insts(LI, LF), from_to_insts(RI, RF))

    to

        unify_modes_li_lf_ri_rf(LI, LF, RI, RF)

    This requires fewer memory allocations (1 vs 3) and less memory
    (4 words vs 6), though the performance improvement is too small
    to measure.

    It should also require writing fewer function symbols in code.

compiler/instmap.m:
compiler/mode_util.m:
    For each utility predicate that works with from_to_insts, provide
    a version that works with the separate insts contained in it.
    Delete the from_to_insts version if no longer needed.

8f761b4968 Remove out_of_line_builtin.
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
    Delete out_of_line_builtin as a possible builtin_state, since we
    haven't had any builtin predicates implemented using out-of-line code
    in a long time, and we almost certainly never will again.
    Even if we did, there is no particular reason to believe that all
    the places that test the builtin_state do the right thing when they see
    an out_of_line_builtin; such decisions haven't had their correctness

d6c140af1f Allow inlining of linear mutual tail recursions.
Lets say an SCC contains n procedures, P1 through Pn. The SCC is *linearly
tail recursive* if the set of tail recursive calls in the SCC is {P1 -> P2,
P2 -> P3, ... Pn-1 -> Pn, Pn -> P1}, i.e. each procedure calls the next one
and the last one calls the first. For each Pi that is called from above
the SCC, the new optimization inlines the callee at every tail recursive
call site except the one that calls Pi itself. For example, if Pi is P1,
it would inline the tail call to P2, the tail call to P3 inside P2,
the tail call to P4 inside P3, and so on. Since the only tail recursive
call left in Pi is to Pi, this scheme transforms mutual tail recursion,
which the MLDS backend cannot (yet) implement, into self tail recursion,
which it *can* implement.

We only perform the transformation if each procedure in the SCC
contains *exactly one* tail recursive call. This is because each extra
tail recursive call may *double* the size of the resulting code.

Any recursive calls that are not *tail* recursive are left alone.

compiler/options.m:
doc/user_guide.texi:
    Add a new option, --inline-linear-tail-rec-sccs, that calls for the
    new transformation.

NEWS:
    Announce the new option.

compiler/mercury_compile_middle_passes.m:
    Call inlining if the new option is set.

compiler/inlining.m:
    If the new option is given, implement the transformation described
    at the top.

    Fix several variable and predicate names that misleadingly implied
    that a predicate *has* been inlined when it has only been decided
    that it is *worth* inlining, with the actual inlining taking place later.

    Pass the needed_map inside the inline_params.

    Rename the top predicate to fit the naming scheme used in the rest
    of the module.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
    Add a goal feature that designates the call that it decorates as being
    either a self or a mutual tail recursive call.

    Rename the existing goal features that apply only to self tail recursive
    calls to make clear that fact.

compiler/mark_tail_calls.m:
    Generalize the code to look either for

    - just self tail recursive calls, as at the moment, as needed by both
      the LLDS and the MLDS code generator (for different purposes), or for
    - both self and mutual tail recursive calls, as needed by the new
      kind of inlining.

    Give the top level predicates names that indicate their overall purpose.

    Change the representation of the at_tail type to separate out the
    flag that says whether we have or haven't seen a recursive call
    in the backward traversal so far. This yields cleaner code
    in several places.

    Store the list of generated error_specs, and the flag that says whether
    the traversal has found any recursive call, in the mark_tail_calls_info
    structure, instead of returning them as separate output arguments.
    This is better, since *most* places don't add error_specs or set the flag.

compiler/dependency_graph.m:
    Explicitly gather the list of edges in the graph we are building,
    and record that list. Inlining now needs this, because it needs to know
    not just that e.g. two procedures p and q in an SCC call each other,
    also *from how many call sites". The dependency graph does not contain
    that information, but the list of edges from which it is built does.

compiler/hlds_dependency_graph.m:
    For most purposes, we want to add an edge from p to q if

    - p calls q in a tail call,
    - p calls q in a non-tail call, or
    - p *refers* to q without calling it, e.g. by constructing a closure
      whose procedure is q.

    However, when constructing the *tail* SCC within a conventional SCC,
    we want to add an edge from p to q only in the first situation.
    Add an option that controls whether we add an edge just in the first
    situation or all three.

7231df1666 Simplify hlds_dependency_graph.m.
compiler/hlds_dependency_graph.m:
    Make module_info_ensure_dependency_info return the dependency info,
    so that the caller does not have to get it separately.

    Simplify the type class used in the module: make it cover only the
    operation used in traversing goals. Making it cover the operations
    used in traversing predicates as well takes more code and adds more
    complexity than it saves.

    Rewrite the code that traverses predicates to avoid code duplication.
    The tests for whether a predicate or procedure should be processed
    used to be duplicated, and in one case the duplication was imperfect,
    i.e. two different pieces of code implicitly made inconsistent assumptions
    about each other. Rewriting the code so that code that adds arcs to the
    digraph accepts the decisions of the code that added the nodes to the
    digraph eliminates this problem.

    Factor out the common code for adding a new edge to the digraph.

    Traversing a predicate or procedure does not guarantee that we will add it
    to the digraph as a node. To reflect this, add a "maybe" prefix to the
    names of the affected predicates.

    Put related predicates next to each other.

dea4368f7d Make each SCC in the dependency graph a set, not a list.
This is to make the data type follow the inherent semantics of SCCs
more closely, and enforce the invariant that a procedure can appear
in the SCC only once.

Also, rename the list of SCCs from "dependency_ordering", which does
not give a clue about *which way* the SCCs are ordered, to "bottom_up_sccs",
which does.

compiler/dependency_graph.m:
    Make the changes described above.

    Document why we reverse the list generated by digraph.atsort.

library/digraph.m:
    Document the order in which digraph.atsort returns the list of SCCs.

    Note that the last step of atsort is to reverse the list, which
    its caller in compiler/dependency_graph.m will then immediately
    re-reverse.

    Document the order in which digraph.tsort and digraph.dfs return
    a list of items.

    Give some variables more meaningful names, and make the argument order
    of some predicates conform to our conventions.

compiler/hlds_out_module.m:
    Add code to print out the dependency info in the module_info, if asked.

doc/user_guide.texi:
    Document the dump string option that asks for this.

compiler/hlds_dependency_graph.m:
    Make the same changes for hlds_dependency_info as dependency_graph.m
    did to just plain dependency_info.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    Make the scc type expand to a set, not a list, of pred_proc_ids.

e2ffb8d01a Reorganise dependency graph code
This change moves code that could be generic/common out of
hlds_dependency_graph.m into dependency_graph.m.  It also moves some code
from hlds_module.m into hlds_dependency_graph.m where it makes more sense.

compiler/dependency_graph.m:
    New module.

    Make the accessors predicates functions and give them more sensible
    names.

    Create a new accessors to get a version or the dependency ordering,
    condensed into a single list.

compiler/hlds_dependency_graph.m:
    Build the dependency_info structure in a more straightforward way.  It
    can easily be created with a single call rather than three.  The
    dependency ordering information is now calculated by dependency_graph.m.

    Make build_dependency_graph, build_proc_dependency_graph and
    build_pred_dependency_graph functions rather than predicates.

cfcfde1db7 Simplify the representation of modes of unifications.
Unifications (x = y) have long had two descriptions of their modes.
One is the unify_mode, which used to look like this:
    (initx -> finalx) - (inity -> finaly)
and other is the uni_mode, which used to look like this:
    (initx - inity) -> (finalx - finaly)
Each unification had one unify_mode, and each unification that includes
a function symbol had one uni_mode per argument of that function symbol.

The two forms of mode information looked similar enough to be easily
confusable, but were subtly different. As it turns out, there was no
particular reason for the difference, so this diff eliminates the
uni_mode type, and the difference along with it.

What rationale there was for the uni_mode type was that the two modes
it represented (one for each side of the unification) both had their
initial and final insts directly available. This is not true for modes
in general: a value of the mer_mode type could have the form
"InitInst -> FinalInst" (which this diff renames "from_to_mode(InitInst,
FinalInst)", but could also be a "user_defined_inst(...)", which required
a table lookup to turn it into an initial/final pair of insts. This matters,
because almost all code that processes the modes of unifications
works with the initial and final insts.

This diff therefore creates a new type, from_to_insts, which represents
mode information only in the form of terms such as "from_to_insts(InitInst,
FinalInst)", and makes a unify_mode take two values of this type, not mer_mode,
as arguments.

As discussed on m-rev, this diff also renames the old, deceptively named
"arg_mode" type: its new name is "top_functor_mode".

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
    As mentioned above, avoid using "->" as a function symbol, and replace
    both -> and - with bespoke function symbols.

compiler/mode_util.m:
    Add some utility predicates and functions on the new types, and
    delete the old utility routines that operated on uni_modes.

    Code that uses the new functions and predicates should have a higher level
    of abstraction than the code that used to do the same job "manually".

compiler/*.m:
    Conform to the changes above, using the new utility predicates and
    functions where relevant. In several cases, this required fixing
    confusion of the kind described at the top. In all but one case,
    the confusion affected only variable names, but in one case,
    deconstruct_functor in make_goal.m, it caused a bug. The bug has
    had no effect up till now because deconstruct_functor is called
    only from three places: try_expand.m, stm_expand.m, and untupling.m.
    The incorrect mode (which was the nonsensical ground -> free)
    generated by the code of try_expand.m itself was discarded and
    overwritten when try_expand.m invoked the modechecker. (I don't
    know whether this bugfix makes that invocation redundant or not.)
    The other two modules, stm_expand.m and untupling.m, may do something
    similar, but in any case, they don't yet work for other reasons.
    (A bootcheck with --untupling causes a compiler abort when compiling
    deep_profiler/query.m in stage 2 both without and with this fix.)

    Delete no-longer-needed imports of the pair module (and of some other
    modules).

    Put the arguments of some predicates into a more logical order.

    In bytecode_gen.m, replace clauses with disjunctions, and delete the
    arguments that this step has revealed to be unused.

4ebc3ffa04 Carve four modules out of prog_data.m.
The prog_data.m module is imported by most modules of the compiler; by
359 modules out of 488, to be exact. Yet it has many parts that most of
those 359 modules don't need. This diff puts those parts into four new
modules. The number of imports of these modules:

    348 modules import prog_data.m
     84 modules import prog_data_foreign.m
     62 modules import prog_data_pragma.m

95805686bb Fix some spurious warnings from dead proc elimination.
Often a procedure whose job is to verify an invariant or otherwise help with
debugging will be private to its defining module, and will be called only
from conditionally compiled trace goal scopes. If the trace goal's condition
is false, then the procedure will have no calls to it left by the time
we invoke dead_proc_elim. However, any warning that the compiler could print
to the effect that "the procedure is never called" would be incorrect
from the programmer's point of view, even though it would be correct
from the code generator's point of view.

compiler/simplify_goal_scope.m:
    When deleting a trace goal scope because it is conditionally compiled
    and its condition is false, compute the set of procedures called in
    the deleted goal and record that set in a new slot of the simplify_info.

compiler/simplify_info.m:
    Define a new slot for that purpose.

compiler/simplify_proc.m:
    When we have finished processing a procedure, add the procedure ids
    in the new slot of the simplify_info to a new slot of the procedure's
    proc_info.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    Define a new slot in the proc_info (actually, proc_sub_info)
    for that purpose.

compiler/dead_proc_elim.m:
    When we call dead proc elimination because we want to generate warnings,
    treat the procedures named in these proc_info slots as if they were
    actually called (since the source code actually contains calls to them).

    When we call dead proc elimination because we want to delete unused
    procedures from the HLDS, because we don't want to generate code for them,
    we *don't* want to treat the appearance of a procedure id in this slot
    as a call. We now therefore provide two separate predicates to call:
    one (dead_proc_elim) that deletes procedures from the HLDS but returns
    no warnings, and another (dead_proc_warn) that generates warnings
    but leaves the HLDS unchanged. Besides the different in their
    signatures, these two top level predicates use slightly different
    criteria to decide whether a procedure is dead or not. (No current caller
    wants both an updated HLDS *and* warnings. If new callers do, they will
    have to call both predicates. This will find the set of called procedures
    twice, but since their criteria of what they count as "called" will be
    different, the set of "called" procedures they compute could differ.)

    Parameterize the code that computes the set of needed entities
    to allow it to be used for both purposes.

    Split the old code that used to use the results of that analysis
    to both delete procedures and to generate warnings for such deletions.
    There is now one copy specialized for deleting unused procedures from the
    HLDS, and one copy specialized for generating warnings. The two don't
    actually have that much in common.

compiler/deep_profiling.m:
compiler/mercury_compile_middle_passes.m:
    Update all the places that used to call dead proc elimination
    to call instead one of its two replacement predicates.

compiler/hlds_out_pred.m:
    Dump the new field in the proc_info if it is not empty.

tests/warnings/warn_dead_proc_trace.{m,exp}:
    A new test case to test the new functionality.

    Enable the new test case.

b2ae55c29c Change 'none' to 'none_or_default_func' in ho_inst_info.
This value of ho_inst_info is used for first-order values as well as
for functions that have the default inst, and the new name better
reflects that.

Places using this value have been checked for correctness. Issues that
need to be looked at have been marked with XXX, although have not been
addressed in this change.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Update the type.

compiler/inst_match.m:
	Add XXX comments. This module needs to check for non-default
	function insts in a bunch of places.

compiler/inst_util.m:
	Add XXX comments. We lose information about non-default function
	insts when merging bound and any. The information needs to be
	either preserved or disallowed entirely.

compiler/float_regs.m:
	Add XXX comments. This module may miss cases involving default
	function insts.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
	Add XXX comment. We should exclude pred and non-default func
	lambda non-locals from becoming locked, an addition to default
	functions.

compiler/*.m:
	No special handling is required for other modules.

cc9912faa8 Don't import anything in packages.
Packages are modules whose only job is to serve as a container for submodules.
Modules like top_level.m, hlds.m, parse_tree.m and ll_backend.m are packages
in this (informal) sense.

Besides the include_module declarations for their submodules, most of the
packages in the compiler used to import some modules, mostly other packages
whose component modules their submodules may need. For example, ll_backend.m
used to import parse_tree.m. This meant that modules in the ll_backend package
did not have to import parse_tree.m before importing modules in the parse_tree
package.

However, this had a price. When we add a new module to the parse_tree package,
parse_tree.int would change, and this would require the recompilation of ALL
the modules in the ll_backend package, even the ones that did NOT import ANY
of the modules in the parse_tree package.

This happened even at one remove. Pretty much all modules in every one
of the backend have to import one or more modules in the hlds package,
and they therefore have import hlds.m. Since hlds.m imported transform_hlds.m,
any addition of a new middle pass to the transform_hlds package required
the recompilation of all backend modules, even in the usual case of the two
having nothing to do with each other.

This diff removes all import_module declarations from the packages,
and replaces them with import_module declarations in the modules that need
them. This includes only a SUBSET of their child modules and of the non-child
modules that import them.

f2acc09ce6 Speed up operations on special pred maps.
The special_pred_map type used to have a pair of a special_pred_id and a
type_ctor as its key. This meant that we compared the special_pred_ids
on every level of a lookup. Since there are only four special_pred_ids
(for unify, index, compare and solver init predicates), this is wasteful.

Replace the special_pred_map type with the special_pred_maps type,
which is a tuple of four maps, one for each special_pred_id, in which
the keys are just type_ctors. Looking at the special_pred_id just once
should speed up operations.

compiler/special_pred.m:
    As above.

    Provide search and lookup predicates on the special_pred_maps type,
    since it is no longer just a simple map.search or map.lookup.

    Put the definitions of predicates into the same order as their
    declarations.

    Remove an unnecessary cell from the representation of origin_special_pred.

c34f6dd4e8 Let the compiler bootstrap in decldebug grades again.
The big diff that replaced the item list with proper parse trees included code
that the compiler couldn't handle in decldebug grades, aborting with a message
about liveness mismatch between different switch arms. The problem occurred
when compiling this code in generate_missing_start_section_warning_int,
which is one arm of a switch on !.MissingStartSectionWarning:

    !.MissingStartSectionWarning =
        have_not_given_missing_section_start_warning,
    !:MissingStartSectionWarning =
        have_given_missing_section_start_warning,
    Pieces = [invis_order_default_start(1), ...],
    _Spec = error_spec(severity_error, phase_term_to_parse_tree,
        [simple_msg(Context, [always(Pieces)])])

The problem was liveness.m's handling of the from_ground_term_construct
scope that is generated for the assigmnet of the ground term to Pieces.

compiler/liveness.m:
    During the first pass through the procedure body, the liveness pass,
    replace with the empty conjunction any from_ground_term_construct scopes
    that construct terms to assign to dead variables. This prevents the
    second pass, the deadness pass, from including the dead variable
    (Pieces in the above example, after the assignment to _Spec was
    optimized away by earlier passes) in the set of variables that
    have been seen, since obviously, they won't be seen in the other arms.
    This inclusion was the cause of the assertion failure that led to
    the compiler abort.

    Improve the existing debugging infrastructure to help find bugs like this,
    by printing out what the selected procedure's body looks like before
    as well as after the initial requantification.

compiler/quantification.m:
    Replace from_ground_term_construct scopes whose ground term is assigned
    to a dead variable with empty conjunctions, so that the compiler passes
    between the first quantification after mode checking and the liveness
    pass also see a smaller HLDS.

    Implement an unrelated improvement whose possibility I discovered when
    investigating why a version of the test case *without* the from_ground_term
    scope wasn't getting the abort. When processing unifications, build up the
    set of variables in the unification directly, not by recording a bunch
    of maybe(somethings)s and then processing the somethings, if they existed,
    later. This yields code that is shorter, simpler *and* faster.

tests/valid/liveness_disagree.m:
    A new test case for this bug. It is a cut-down version of
    generate_missing_start_section_warning_int.

tests/valid/Mmakefile:
tests/valid/Mercury.options:
    Enable the new test case, and try to compile it in a declarative debugging
    grade.

compiler/assertion.m:
compiler/deep_profiling.m:
compiler/lookup_switch.m:
compiler/par_loop_control.m:
    Add module qualifications in several places. I found the need for these
    when I temporarily redefined the set_of_var type to use sets instead of
    sparse_bitsets, to make debugging the bug in liveness.m easier; without
    them, I got errors about excessive overloading.

    Do some other cleanups as well.

04dec8c205 Carve vartypes.m, prog_detism.m and prog_rename.m out of prog_data.m.
Besides defining most of the types representing the smaller parts of
parse trees (parts smaller than items), prog_data.m also has many utility
predicates that operate on values of these types. Carve the three substantial
clusters of predicates out of prog_data.m, and move them into their own
modules, which are each imported by fewer modules than prog_data.m itself.

compiler/vartypes.m:
    New module containing the vartypes type and the predicates that operate
    on it. The new module has *much* better cohesion than the old prog_data.m.

    The vartypes type does not appear in any parse tree; it is used only
    in the HLDS. So make vartypes.m part of the hlds.m package, not
    parse_tree.m.

    Move three predicates that perform renamings and substitutions on vartypes
    here from prog_type_subst.m, since the latter is part of the parse_tree.m
    package, and thus doesn't have access to hlds.vartypes. Make private
    the service predicate that these three moved predicates used to rely on,
    since it has no other callers.

compiler/prog_detism.m:
    New module containing utility predicates that operate on determinisms
    and determinism components.

compiler/prog_rename.m:
    New module containing utility predicates that rename variables in
    various data structures.

compiler/prog_data.m:
    Remove the stuff now in the three new modules.

compiler/prog_type_subst.m:
    Remove the three predicates now in vartypes.m.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:

    that referred to vartypes.

compiler/builtin_lib_types.m:
compiler/type_util.m:
    Move some utility predicates that refer to vartypes from prog_type.m

    (part of check_hlds.m).

c1402f8b99 Clean up hlds_module.m.
compiler/hlds_module.m:
    Put related fields of the module_sub_info next to each other.

    Some of those fields contained lists that were built reversed,
    in order to avoid O(N^2) behavior when repeatedly adding new items
    to the end of the list. Replace these with cords, which did not exist
    when those fields were first added.

    Give some fields and their getter/setter predicates more descriptive
    names.

    Separate out both the declarations and definitions of the getter and
    setter predicates, and put them into the same order as the (updated)
    order of the fields. Put the utility predicates (those that are more
    complicated than just getters or setters) into an order based on
    what fields they work on, following the same order.

    Improve the operation of some of the utility predicates, e.g. replacing
    a nondet predicate with a det predicate returning a set.

    Delete an unused type.

    Conform to the changes in the modules imported by hlds_module.m,
    e.g. pred_table.m, prog_data.m and prog_foreign.m.

compiler/pred_table.m:
    We used to store the set of valid pred ids as two lists, again to avoid
    O(N^2) behavior. Replace the two lists with a set. This allows
    looking up the set *without* updating the pred_table, or, when
    the pred_table is within the module_info, updating the module_info.

    Instead of allowing callers to replace the set of valid pred ids wholesale,
    enforce the documented invariant on that set by only allowing deletions.

    Conform to the changes above.

    In many places, the change to how the valid pred ids are stored
    allows us to avoid creating new module_infos.

    In some places, fix style issues I noticed while working on the above.

compiler/llds.m:
compiler/mercury_compile_llds_back_end.m:
    Conform to the changes above.

    Move a type from llds.m to mercury_compile_llds_back_end.m, since
    only the latter uses it.

    Replace some types that used to hold reversed lists with cords.

efb56544ed Speed up pred_info's setter predicates a bit.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    If the new value of a field of pred_info is likely to be bit-identical
    to the old value, then test the old and new bits for equality in the
    setter, and if they are the same, do not allocate a new pred_info
    structure that is guaranteed to be the same as the old one.

    By avoiding unnecessary memory turnover, this speeds up the compiler a bit,
    though I cannot nail down by how much. I measured it several times, with
    the results being no change, a speedup of 1%, and a speedup of 2%.

Estimated hours taken: 5
Branches: main

compiler/pred_table.m:
	The predicates that searched the pred table used to return lists of
	matching pred_ids, but they never returned empty lists; if there
	were no matching pred_ids, they failed. This diff changes them
	from semidet to det, and makes them return empty lists if there
	are no matches.

	This change simplifies both the code of these predicates, and the code
	of the predicates calling them.

	- Some callers of these predicates were prepared BOTH for the call
	  to fail, and for it to succeed returning an empty list; their types
	  allowed both.

	- Some pattern-matched the return value againt a one-element list
	  in the call itself, and treated both no matches and multiple matches
	  the same, even though an error message for one will be misleading
	  for the other.

	- All calls had to have a test for cons to pick up the first match;
	  this test was logically redundant, since they also had a test for
	  success/failure.

	Change the names of the affected predicates by replacing "search"
	in their names with "lookup", both to give the right intuition
	about what they do, and to make sure I didn't miss updating any
	callers.

b86f973fa9 Allow the use of Mercury abstract machine float registers for passing
Branches: main

Allow the use of Mercury abstract machine float registers for passing
double-precision float arguments in higher order calls.

In of itself this is not so useful for typical Mercury code.  However, as
all non-local procedures are potentially the targets of higher order calls,
without this change first order calls to non-local procedures could not use
float registers either.  That is the actual motivation for this change.

The basic mechanism is straightforward.  As before, do_call_closure_* is
invoked to place the closure's hidden arguments into r1, ..., rN, and extra
input arguments shifted into rN+1, etc.  With float registers, extra input
arguments may also be in f1, f2, etc. and the closure may also have hidden
float arguments.  Optimising for calls, we order the closure's hidden
arguments so that all float register arguments come after all regular
register arguments in the vector.  Having the arguments out of order does
complicate code which needs to deconstruct closures, but that is not so
important.

Polymorphism complicates things.  A closure with type pred(float) may be
passed to a procedure expecting pred(T).  Due to the `float' argument type,
the closure expects its argument in a float register.  But when passed to the
procedure, the polymorphic argument type means it would be called with the
argument in a regular register.

Higher-order insts already contain information about the calling convention,
without which a higher-order term cannot be called.  We extend higher-order
insts to include information about the register class required for each
argument.  For example, we can distinguish between:

	pred(in) is semidet /* arg regs: [reg_f] */
and
	pred(in) is semidet /* arg regs: [reg_r] */

Using this information, we can create a wrapper around a higher-order
variable if it appears in a context requiring a different calling convention.
We do this in a new HLDS pass, called float_regs.m.

Note: Mercury code has a tendency to lose insts for higher-order terms, then
"recover" them by hacky means.  The float_regs pass depends on higher-order
insts; it is impossible to create a wrapper for a procedure without knowing
how to call it.  The float_regs pass will report errors which we otherwise
accepted, due to higher-order insts being unavailable.  It should be possible
for the user to adjust the code to satisfy the pass, though the user may not
understand why it should be necessary.  In most cases, it probably really
*is* unnecessary.  We may be able to make the float_regs pass more tolerant
of missing higher-order insts in the future.

Class method calls do not use float registers because I didn't want to deal
with them yet.


compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
	Always enable float registers in low-level C grades when floats are
	wider than a word.

compiler/make_hlds_passes.m:
	Always allow double word floats to be stored unboxed in cells on C
	grades.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add an extra field to `generic_call' which gives the register class
	to use for each argument.  This is set by the float_regs pass.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add an extra field to `pred_inst_info' which records the register class
	to use for each argument.  This is set by the float_regs pass.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add a field to `proc_sub_info' which lists the headvars which must be
	passed via regular registers despite their types.

	Add a field to `pred_sub_info' to record the original unsubstituted
	argument types for instance method predicates.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	In the pred_info of an instance method predicate, record the original
	argument types before substituting the type variables for the instance.

compiler/float_regs.m:
compiler/transform_hlds.m:
	Add the new HLDS pass.

compiler/mercury_compile_middle_passes.m:
	Run the new pass if float registers are enabled.

compiler/lambda.m:
	Export the predicate to produce a predicate from a lambda.
	This is reused by float_regs.m to create wrapper closures.

	Add an argument to `expand_lambda' to set the reg_r_headvars field on
	the newly created procedure.

	Delete some unused fields from `lambda_info'.

compiler/arg_info.m:
	Make `generate_proc_arg_info' no longer always use regular registers
	for calls to exported procedures.  Do always use regular registers for
	class methods calls.

	Add a version of `make_arg_infos' which takes an explicit list of
	argument registers.  Rename the previous version.

	Add `generic_call_arg_reg_types' to return the argument registers
	for a generic call.

	Add a version of `compute_in_and_out_vars' which additionally separates
	arguments for float and regular registers.

compiler/call_gen.m:
	Use float registers for argument passing in higher-order calls, as
	directed by the new field in `generic_call'.

compiler/code_util.m:
	Add a function to encode the number of regular and float register
	arguments when making a higher-order call.

compiler/llds.m:
	Say that the `do_call_closure_N' functions only work for zero float
	register arguments.

compiler/follow_vars.m:
compiler/interval.m:
	Account for the use of float registers by generic call goals in these
	passes.

compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Move float register arguments to the end of a closure's hidden
	arguments vector, after regular register arguments.

	Count hidden regular and float register arguments separately, but
	encode them in the same word in the closure.  This is preferable to
	using two words because it reduces the differences between grades
	with and without float registers present.

	Disable generating code which creates a closure from an existing
	closure, if float registers exist.  That code does not understand the
	reordered hidden arguments vector yet.

compiler/continuation_info.m:
	Replace an argument's type_info in the closure layout if the argument
	is a float *and* is passed via a regular register, when floats are
	normally passed via float registers.  Instead, give it the type_info
	for `private_builtin.float_box'.

compiler/builtin_lib_types.m:
	Add function to return the type of `private_builtin.float_box/0'.

compiler/hlds_out_goal.m:
compiler/hlds_out_pred.m:

	Add helper predicate.

compiler/*.m:
	Conform to changes.

library/private_builtin.m:
	Add a type `float_box'.

runtime/mercury_ho_call.h:

	it being used incorrectly, as it now encodes two numbers (potentially).

	Add macros to unpack the encoded field.

585c1d623c Fix a problem with from_ground_term scopes.
Estimated hours taken: 20
Branches: main

Fix a problem with from_ground_term scopes. When they are built, the scopes
are tentantively marked as from_ground_term_construct scopes, and the
unifications inside them are in a top down order. Mode analysis therefore
expected the unifications inside from_ground_term_construct scopes to have
that order.

The problem was that mode analysis, when it confirmed that a
from_ground_term scope is indeed a from_ground_term_construct scope,
itself reversed the order of the unifications, putting them in a bottom up
order. When mode analysis is reinvoked, either for unique mode checking, or
after cse_detection finds common subexpressions, this meant that
mode analysis found the unifications in the "wrong" order, and therefore
disregarded the scope, discarding all its performance benefits.

This diff separates out the two notions that we previously conflated.
The scope kind from_ground_term_construct now refers only to scopes
which are definitely known to construct ground terms. We can know that
only after mode analysis. Until then, from_ground_term scopes are now marked
as from_ground_term_initial. The two kinds have different though overlapping
sets of invariants; in particular, they promise different orderings of the
unifications in the scope.

This diff reduces the time needed to compile mas_objects.data.m
from about 221 seconds to about 8.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add the from_ground_term_initial kind. Document the invariants
	that each kind of from_ground_term scope promises.

	not from_ground_term_construct.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:

	unifications (such as X = int.min) into actual function calls
	say whether it performed such a conversion.

compiler/purity.m:
	Use the new functionality in post_typecheck.m to convert
	from_ground_term_initial scopes into from_ground_term_other scopes
	if the conversion of a unification into a call means that we have to
	break an invariant expected of from_ground_term_initial scopes.

compiler/cse_detection.m:
compiler/switch_detection.m:
	Maintain the invariants we now expect of from_ground_term_deconstruct
	scopes.

compiler/modecheck_goal.m:
	Maintain the invariants we now expect of the different
	from_ground_term scopes.

	Avoid traversing such scopes if a previous invocation of mode analysis
	says we can.

	Optimize away from_ground_term_construct scopes if the variable being
	constructed is not needed later.

compiler/quantification.m:
	If the variable named in a from_ground_term_initial or
	from_ground_term_construct scope is not referred to outside the scope,
	set the nonlocals set of the scope to empty, which allows later
	compiler passes to optimize it away.

d00ea69529 Switch from using set(prog_var), which is represented using set_ordlist,
Estimated hours taken: 12
Branches: main

Switch from using set(prog_var), which is represented using set_ordlist,
to set_of_progvar, which is represented using tree_bitset, for most sets
of variables in the compiler, including the nonlocals sets in goal_infos.

This diff yields about a 5% speedup when compiling the training_cars_full.m
stress test, but also about a 1% slowdown on tools/speedtest. Both of these
are with the current default state in which tree_bitset is compiled with
a whole bunch of sanity checks. If these are disabled, we get roughly a 1%
speedup on tools/speedtest. I intend to disable those sanity checks after
a shakedown period of a week or two in which the updated version of the
compiler is installed on our platforms.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Replace almost all occurrences of set(prog_var) with set_of_progvar.
	The main exceptions are the types supporting rbmm.

875054422c Fix bug180.
Branches: main 11.01

Fix bug180.

bug180's symptom was a crash in the code generator when compiling ssdb/ssdb.m
with inlining in a deep-profiling grade.

The pre-profiling simplify transformation can introduce new variables and did
not update the varset in the proc_info structure, but did add new entries to
the vartypes map.  Then when the deep-profiling transformation executes it
allocates it's own new variables using an old varset, causing it to clobber
existing entries in the vartypes array.  This means that variables created by
the simplification transformation that are referenced by goals are now
clobbered by the deep-profiler variables

a2cd0da5b3 The existing representation of goal_paths is suboptimal for several reasons.
Estimated hours taken: 80
Branches: main

The existing representation of goal_paths is suboptimal for several reasons.

- Sometimes we need forward goal paths (e.g. to look up goals), and sometimes
  we need reverse goal paths (e.g. when computing goal paths in the first
  place). We had two types for them, but

  - their names, goal_path and goal_path_consable, were not expressive, and
  - we could store only one of them in goal_infos.

- Testing whether goal A is a subgoal of goal B is quite error-prone using
  either form of goal paths.

- Using a goal path as a key in a map, which several compiler passes want to
  do, requires lots of expensive comparisons.

This diff replaces most uses of goal paths with goal ids. A goal id is an
integer, so it can be used as a key in faster maps, or even in arrays.
Every goal in the body of a procedure gets its id allocated in a depth first
search. Since we process each goal before we dive into is descendants,
the goal representing the whole body of a procedure always gets goal id 0.
The depth first traversal also builds up a map (the containing goal map)
that tells us the parent goal of ever subgoal, with the obvious exception
of the root goal itself. From the containing goal map, one can compute
both reverse and forward goal paths. It can also serve as the basis of an
efficient test of whether the goal identified by goal id A is an ancestor
of another goal identified by goal id B. We don't yet use this test,
but I expect we will in the future.

mdbcomp/program_representation.m:
	Add the goal_id type.

	Replace the existing goal_path and goal_path_consable types
	with two new types, forward_goal_path and reverse_goal_path.
	Since these now have wrappers around the list of goal path steps
	that identify each kind of goal path, it is now ok to expose their
	representations. This makes several compiler passes easier to code.

	Update the set of operations on goal paths to work on the new data
	structures.

	Add a couple of step types to represent lambdas and try goals.
	Their omission prior to this would have been a bug for constraint-based
	mode analysis, or any other compiler pass prior to the expansion out
	of lambda and try goals that wanted to use goal paths to identify
	subgoals.

compiler/hlds_goal:
	Replace the goal_path field with a goal_id field in the goal_info,

	Keep a reverse_goal_path field in the goal_info for use by RBMM and
	CTGC. Those analyses were too hard to convert to using goal_ids,
	especially since RBMM uses goal_paths to identify goals in multi-pass
	algorithms that should be one-pass and should not NEED to identify
	any goals for later processing.

compiler/goal_path:
	Add predicates to fill in goal_ids, and update the predicates
	filling in the now deprecated reverse goal path fields.

	Add the operations needed by the rest of the compiler
	on goal ids and containing goal maps.

	Remove the option to set goal paths using "mode equivalent steps".
	Constraint based mode analysis now uses goal ids, and can now
	do its own equivalent optimization quite simply.

	Move the goal_path module from the check_hlds package to the hlds
	package.

compiler/*.m:
	Conform to the changes in goal path representation.

	Most modules now use goal_ids to identify goals, and use a containing

543fc6e342 Change the way the typechecker iterates over the predicates of the program.
Estimated hours taken: 12
Branches: main

Change the way the typechecker iterates over the predicates of the program.
We used to do it by looking up each predicate in the module_info,
typechecking it, and putting it back into the module_info. We now do it
by converting the predicate table into a list, iterating over the list
transforming each pred_info in it, converting the updated list back to
a predicate table.

The original intention of this change was to allow different predicates
to be typechecked in parallel by removing a synchronization bottleneck:
the typechecking of a predicate now doesn't have to wait for the typechecking
of the previous predicate to generate the updated version of the module_info.
However, it turned out that the change is good for sequential execution
as well, improving the time on tools/speedtest from 11.33 seconds to 11.08
seconds, a speedup of 2.2%. On tools/speedtest -l, which tests the compilation
of more modules, the speedup is even better: 3.1% (from 32.63 to 31.60s).

c877dceb2b Refactor profiler feedback code for implicit parallelism.
This change mostly re-factors the goal representation used to feedback implicit
parallelism information to the compiler.  The goal_rep datatype is now used
rather than the much simpler datatype.  (goal_rep is the same type that is used
by the declarative debugger).

This makes it easier for the compiler to match HLDS goals against goals from
the implicit parallelism analysis and will probably help in the future if the
analysis wants the compiler to re-order goals.

It also makes it easier to pretty-print the feedback sent to the compiler in
more detail.

mdbcomp/feedback.m:
    As above, redefine pard_goal as a type alias to
    goal_rep(pard_goal_annotation).

    Added a new type, candidate_par_conjunctions_proc, it represents candidate
    parallelisations within a procedure along with shared information for the
    procedure.

    Add a new predicate, convert_candidate_par_conjunctions_proc.

    Increment the feedback file format version number.

mdbcomp/program_representation.m:
    XXX: See about refactoring bytecode in/out put into one place.

    Add a new predicate transform_goal_rep for transforming a goal_rep
    structure from one arbitrary annotation type to another.

    Add extra predicates to aid in converting a prog_rep structure to and from
    bytecode.  This includes cut_byte/2 and can_fail_byte/2.

    Export print_goal_to_strings/4 so that it can be used when printing the
    feedback file reports.

deep_profiler/program_representation_utils.m:
    Modify print_goal_to_strings to print determinisms and annotations on
    separate lines before each goal.

deep_profiler/display_report.m:
    Modify pretty printing of coverage annotations so that they make sense
    after modifying print_goal_to_strings/4.

compiler/implicit_parallelism.m:
    Refactor goal matching code that compares HLDS goals to feedback goals.
    Goal matching is now more accurate and can more easily support goal
    re-ordering when parallelising code (this is not implemented yet).

    The code that builds parallel conjunctions has also been refactored.

    This pass now generates warnings if it is not able to parallelise
    a candidate parallel conjunction in the feedback data.

    Insert deeper and later parallelizations before shallower or earlier ones,
    this makes it easier to continue to parallelise a procedure as it's goal
    tree changes due to parallelisation.

    Silently ignore duplicate candidate parallel conjunctions.

    Refuse to parallelise a procedure that has been parallelized explicitly.

compiler/prog_rep.m:
    Re-factor the hlds_goal to bytecode transformation, this transformation now
    goes via goal_rep.  We use the hlds_goal to goal_rep portion of this
    transformation in compiler/implicit_parallelism.m.

    Add variable names prefixed with DCG_ to the list of those introduced by
    the compiler.

compiler/goal_util.m:
    Modify maybe_transform_goal_at_goal_path so that it returns a value that
    can describe the different kinds of error that may be encountered.

    Add a new predicate, maybe_transform_goal_at_goal_path_with_instmap.  Given
    a goal, goal path and initial inst map this predicate recurses the goal
    structure following the goal path and maintaining the inst map.  It then
    uses a higher order value to transform the goal at it's destination before
    re-constructing the goal.  It is different to
    maybe_transform_goal_at_goal_path in that it passes the instmap to it's
    higher order argument, the instmap is correct for the state immediately
    before executing the goal in question.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    Include the procedure's varset in the information used to construct the
    program representation data that is included in deep profiling builds.

compiler/instmap.m:
    Add a useful function, apply_instmap_delta_sv.  This is the same as
    apply_instmap_delta except that it's arguments are in a more convenient

Optimize calls to formatting functions and predicates such as

	Str = string.format("%s_%d", [s(Prefix), i(Num)])

into
	V1 = string.int_to_string(Num),
	V2 = "_" ++ V1,
	Str = Prefix ++ V2

essentially interpreting the format string at compile time rather than runtime.

At the moment, the optimization applies to calls to string.format/3,
io.format/3 and io.format/4, and only in the case where the format specifiers
are just "%c", "%d", or "%s", with no widths, precisions etc, though
that could be changed relatively easily, though at the cost of coupling
the compiler more tightly to the implementation of library/string.m.
(We don't handle %f, because float_to_string(F) yields a different string
than string.format("%f", [f(F)]). The former yields e.g. "1.23", while the
latter yields "1.23000".)

compiler/format_call.m:
	Change the code that looks for malformed calls to formatting predicates
	to also look for well-formed, optimizable calls, and to transform them
	as shown above.

mdbcomp/prim_data.m:
	List the standard library's string module here, since the compiler now
	needs to know what its name is (it generates calls to its predicates).

compiler/options.m:
doc/user_guide.texi:
	Add a new option, --optimize-format-calls, that calls for this
	optimization. Make it enabled by default.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Since the transformation in format_call.m will typically introduce
	nested conjunctions, we now do it before the rest of the
	simplifications. We also invoke the fixups needed by the output
	of format_call.m if it actually optimized any code.

	Delete the code that used to record whether the procedure has any
	format calls, since it now comes too late.

	Decide once, when setting up for processing a procedure, whether
	we want to invoke format_call.m if appropriate, instead of doing it
	later. This allows us to reduce the size of the simplications
	data structure we pass around.

	Protect the predicates that format_call.m can generate calls to
	from being deleted by dead_pred_elim before the simplification pass.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Since simplify.m itself cannot record early enough whether a given
	procedure body contains calls to formatting predicates, do it here.

compiler/det_info.m:
	Add a new field to the det_info that records whether we have seen
	a call to a formatting predicate.

	Add another field to the det_info that records the list of errors
	we have found so far, so that we can stop passing it around separately.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add a marker that allows det_analysis.m to record its conclusions.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add utility predicate.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Make the predicates for creating new plain calls (and, for the sake of
	uniformity, calls to foreign code) take instmap_deltas, such as those
	created by the new utility functions in instmap.m. This allows these
	predicates' caller to avoid creating unnecessary intermediate data
	structures.

compiler/instmap.m:
	Make an existing predicate into a function to allow it to be used
	more flexibly.

	Move some utility functions for creating instmap_deltas here from
	table_gen.m, so that they can be used by other modules.

cc9423e35d Rationalize the way the MLDS code generator handles global data structures.
Estimated hours taken: 80
Branches: main

Rationalize the way the MLDS code generator handles global data structures.
The previous way was somewhat perverse in several respects.

The first respect was that static Mercury terms were translated into global
MLDS definitions, those MLDS definitions were turned into local definitions,
and then later turned back into global definitions. However, while they were
local definitions, they were part of the list of definitions processed
by ml_elim_nested. Since the complexity of ml_elim_nested is at least O(n^2)
and probably O(n^3) or worse, and since the definitions representing static
terms could increase the value of n from dozens or hundred to many thousands,
this was a BAD IDEA, especially since by construction, the MLDS definitions
representing ground terms cannot have other definitions nested inside them.
This problem was the main reason why previously the compiler took effectively
forever to compile any program with large tables of facts in MLDS grades.

The second respect has to do with the fact that terms are represented as tagged
pointers to memory cells. When generating an MLDS definition (a static cell)
for a ground term, ml_unify_gen.m remembered the name of the MLDS variable
representing the static cell, but forgot the tag on the pointer. So when
that ground term was used as an argument in another, bigger ground term,
it had to figure out the tag all over again. The argument of the
construct_statically functor in construct unifications had as its sole purpose
the provision of the data needed by this recomputation.

The third respect was that the code generator could generate duplicate
definitions (same variable name, same content) when two conjoined goals
referred to two or more type_infos or pseudo_type_infos for the same type.
The code generator used to handle it by wrapping a scope around the later
definitions, which (a) wasted memory, and (b) could yield warnings from
the C compiler about shadowed declarations. This problem used to prevent
the compiler from bootchecking in grade hlc_nest.gc; with this diff,
we can again bootcheck in grade hlc_nest.gc.

The fourth respect was that the code generator's record of which variables are
bound to constant terms was inaccurate, because it was never reset. If a
variable was bound to a constant term in one branch of a control structure,
the MLDS code generator state's record of this binding was still there
when the compiler generated code for the later branches of that control
structure. It did not use the record, but it was still there.

The MLDS code generator also used a horribly inefficient algorithm for figuring
out which Mercury variables should have their corresponding MLDS variables
declared at a given goal. It gathered up all the goals's variables, and then
gathered up all the variables in the goal's immediate subgoals. This meant
that the entire goal had to be traversed TWICE, with the second traversal
being needed only because the first one gathered too much information.
Those traversals were a huge performance problem on programs with large static
terms, since their representation is large conjunctions of unifications,
which have large numbers of variables. To add insult to injury, the traversals
used ordered lists to represent the sets, which meant that (given the ascending
variable numbers in from_ground_term scopes), adding the n'th unification's
new variable to the set took O(n) time, with the complexity of the whole
algorithm being quadratic.

Besides fixing these problems, this diff makes the MLDS code generator
handle from_ground_term_construct scopes specially, in a streamlined fashion,
just as the LLDS backend has done for a while now. It also fixes a bunch
of other performance problems pointed out by profiling.

This diff reduces the compilation time on the training_cars_150.m benchmark,
which has nothing but ground terms, from 94+ seconds to less than 2 seconds,
a 98% speedup. (This is with from_ground_term scopes enabled, as is
appropriate.) For ordinary programs, compilation time in grade hlc.gc
is reduced by about 3%.

compiler/ml_global_data.m:
	A new module that manages the MLDS code generator's records about
	static definitions. It separates those definitions into different
	categories based on what kind of processing they need. At the moment,
	the categories are: definitions of cells for ground terms and
	definitions of cells for RTTI, with the latter being subdivided
	into those that may need to be processed by ml_elim_nested
	and those that are known not to need such processing.

	It also records whether we have generated representation for a
	type_info or pseudo_type yet, so that we can avoid generating duplicate
	definitions. This, and the code that uses this, fixes the third
	problem.

compiler/ml_backend.m:
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Add the new module.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Add a warning about the bad complexity of goal_vars.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Remove the static_cons type, since it is no longer needed.
	Remove the static_cons argument of the construct_statically
	functor of the how_to_construct type.

	Fix an out-of-date comment about from_ground_term scopes.

compiler/mark_static_terms.m:
	Change the data structure being threaded through this module
	from being a map(prog_var, static_cons) to a set_tree234(prog_var),
	since we no longer need the information stored in static_conses.

compiler/modes.m:
	Do not compute static_conses.

compiler/mlds.m:
	Put the information about global data into a separate field of
	the MLDS, since some classes of such data can have their treatment
	optimized.

	Put the arguments of some functions into a more logical order.

	Give some function symbol names prefixes to avoid ambiguities.

	Change or add some field name prefixes to avoid ambiguities.

	Avoid the unnecessary use of higher order code in handling the flags of
	MLDS definitions. The new code is simpler as well as faster than the
	old.

compiler/ml_code_util.m:
	Make ml_global_data a part of the MLDS code generator state. This
	allows a bunch of predicates in the MLDS code generator to no longer
	return lists of definitions, since those definitions are now put
	into this new part of ml_gen_info, which ml_elim_nested won't touch.
	This is part of the solution of the first problem.

	Replace the field that mapped vars to the name of the global static
	definition involved in representing the ground term bound to that var
	with a field that maps the var to the actual rval (which will be a
	tagged pointer to that static definition), though we also remember
	the variable's type, since this is needed for making decisions about
	boxing. This is part of the solution for the second problem.

	Rename the extra_defns field of the ml_gen_info to the
	closure_wrapper_defns field, since this is the only thing that
	it is used for.

	Add fields to the ml_gen_info holding the value of the --highlevel-data
	option and the compilation target, since these are needed very often,
	and looking them up in the globals is too slow.

	Access all fields of ml_gen_info via access predicates, not via field
        notation, so that the number of accesses to each field can be measured
        by deep profiling.

        Separate the ml_gen_info structure into a main structure whose fields
        are frequently updated and which fits into an 8-word block of memory,
        and a substructure whose fields are read-only or rarely updated.
        This should help improve memory performance.

	Provide more useful access predicates to some of the counters,
	and make them harder to confuse by using fewer type synonyms.

	Provide some more convenient predicates for creating auxiliary MLDS
	variables (those that do not correspond to Mercury variables).

	Delete ml_join_decls, since fixing the third problem means that it is
	no longer needed.

	Delete some other predicates whose job has been taken over by
	ml_global_data.m.

	Put the arguments of some predicates into a more logical order.

	Rename some predicates to avoid ambiguities.

compiler/ml_code_gen.m:
	As part of the fix for the repeated traversals of parts of the
	procedure body with goal_vars, we now have to run quantification
	before generating MLDS for a procedure. Quantification does in
	one optimized pass what the old code used to do in many unoptimized
	passes. However, since quantification can change the HLDS, this
	requires a small change in the module's interface. HLDS dump 499
	now dumps to the HLDS version *output* by MLDS code generation,
	not the HLDS version that is its input.

	Use the (now guaranteed accurate) nonlocals fields of the goal and
	its immediate subgoals to figure out what variables need to declared at
	each goal. This fixes the fifth problem.

	Special case from_ground_term_construct scopes. (This code recognizes
	such scopes; the code that handles them is in ml_unify_gen.m.)

	Use trace goals to print progress messages.

	Avoid the use of io.format and string.format (see below).

	Group the predicates of this module a bit more meaningfully.
	(A really good order requires more reordering, but that will be
	a separate change.)

	Give some predicates more meaningful names.

	Add predicates that allow the convenient implementation of branched
	control structures.

	Use them in the implementation of the branched control structures
	handled in this module

	Together, these solve the fourth problem.

compiler/ml_switch_gen.m:
compiler/ml_string_switch.m:
	Use them in the implementation of the branched control structures
	handled in these modules.

	Use the new module to generate constant data.

compiler/ml_unify_gen.m:
	Implement the changes described at the top.

	Divide ml_gen_new_object, a predicate that used to be 220 lines long,
        into several pieces, one for each different method of constructing new
	objects (memory cells).

	Delete the (extensive) code that used to recreate the tags on
	pointers to static cells. This code used to also recreate static
	arguments in their entirety if they were NOT pointers to cells,
	e.g. if they were integers or floats or strings, so we now record
	the values of such non-tagged-pointer constant terms also.

	Put the arguments of some predicates into a more logical order.
	In addition, some predicates now need ml_global_data threaded through
	them, but avoid returning lists of definitions.

compiler/ml_call_gen.m:
	Simplify the interface of the predicate that decides on boxing and
	unboxing, making it callable from places that do not have a full code
	generator state (such as the streamlined code in ml_unify_gen handling
	from_ground_term_construct scopes).

	Avoid the unnecessary use of higher order code.

	Rename a predicate to avoid ambiguity.

compiler/ml_closure_gen.m;
	Generate the closure layout information as static global data.

compiler/ml_elim_nested.m:
	Thread the globals through this module instead of the I/O state,
	since the only thing the I/O state was used for was accessing the
	globals.

	Traverse only the small subset of global data that needs to be
	traversed.

compiler/ml_type_gen.m:
	Use trace goals to print progress messages.

	Replace a semidet predicate  with a function returning a tailored type,
	for improved robustness.

	Look up stuff in the globals structure less frequently, by reusing the
	results of past lookups.

compiler/rtti_to_mlds.m:
	Restructure the code in this module in two respects.

	First, instead of having predicates returning lists of
	MLDS definitions, make them add those definitions to a ml_global_data
	data structure threaded through the module. Since the ml_global_data
	structure records which type_infos and pseudo_type_infos we have
	already generated definitions for, this allows us to avoid generating
	duplicate static cells for them. This allows us to avoid the old
	code's roundabout way of handling of such cells.

	Second, several predicates of this module returned initializers,
	which their caller then stuck into a static definition. This diff
	changes things so that wherever possible, the predicate that computes
	the initializers also creates the cell definition. This improves the
	code's cohesion.

	Also, rename some predicates where, after the above changes, their old
	names are no longer appropriate.

compiler/mlds_to_c.m:
	Avoid the use of io.format and string.format, since (after the more
	extensive changes described at the top of this log message) this
	turned out to account for a nontrivial percentage of the compiler's
	runtime.

	Instead of repeatedly looking up the values of some options
	in a copy of the globals obtained from the I/O state, thread
	through this module a term that records all the information
	that this module needs from globals.

	Threading this data through this module instead of looking something
	upo in the I/O state leads to a slight slowdown, but not having to do
	option lookups in large trees leads to a larger speedup.

	Rename some predicates to ambiguity.

	Convert some predicate definitions from multiple clauses into one,
	for clarity.

	Conform to the changes in the structure of the MLDS.

compiler/mlds_to_gcc.m:
	Conform to the changes in the structure of the MLDS.

compiler/mlds_to_il.m:
compiler/mlds_to_ilasm.m:
compiler/mlds_to_java.m:
compiler/mlds_to_managed.m:
	Conform to the changes in the structure of the MLDS.

	Pass the globals to this module instead of looking it up in the
	I/O state.

	Rename some predicates to ambiguity.

	Avoid the unnecessary use of higher order code.

	In mlds_to_managed.m, thread a previously frequently-looked-up value
	through the module.

compiler/typecheck_info.m:
	The code for expanding equivalence types in a procedure's vartypes
	field used to iterate on the keys of the vartypes map, and then
	looked up the associated values in the map. This diff replaces hat
	with new code that iterates on an association list that puts the
	value right next to its key (a list that the old code just threw away).

	The var/type assoc list we compute is still sorted on the variables,
	so create the new vartypes map not by repeated insertion, but
	directly (using map.from_sorted_assoc_list).

compiler/purity.m:
	Add a note about a possible future speedup.

compiler/prog_io_sym_name.m:
	Rename a predicate to avoid an ambiguity, and to make its purpose
	clearer.

compiler/globals.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
compiler/mlds_to_il.m:
	Check whether the mmc option that specifies the IL version number is
	well formed at the start of the compilation, in handle_options.m,
	when all the other option values are checked if needed, rather than
	when generating IL code. This way, we can generate an error message,
	not a compiler abort.

	The IL version number is now recorded in the globals structure.

compiler/make_hlds_warn.m:
	Do not descend into from_ground_term scopes, since by construction,
	they cannot contain singleton variables.

d69ba1a1f0 Include the type_ctor in cons_ids for user-defined types.
Estimated hours taken: 32
Branches: main

Include the type_ctor in cons_ids for user-defined types. The intention is
two-fold:

- It prepares for a future in which we allow more than one function symbol to
  with the same name to be defined in a module.

- It makes the HLDS code more self-contained. In many places, processing
  construction and deconstruction unifications required knowing which type
  the cons_id belongs to, but until now, code couldn't know that unless it
  kept track of the type of the variable unified with the cons_id.

With this diff, user-defined cons_ids are represented as

	cons(SymName, Arity, TypeCtor)

The last field is filled in during post-typecheck. After that time, any module
qualification in the SymName (which may initially be partial) is redundant,
since it is also available in the TypeCtor.

In the future, we could make all those SymNames be just unqualified(_) at that
time. We could also replace the current maps in HLDS type definitions with
full cons_id keys with just name/arity keys (since the module qualifier is a
given for any given type definition), we could also support partially
qualified cons_ids in source code using a map from name/arity pairs to a list
of all the type_ctors that have function symbols with that name/arity, instead
of our current practice of inserting all possible partially module qualified
version of every cons_id into a single giant table, and we could do the same
thing with the field names table.

This diff also separates tuples out from user-defined types, since in many
respects they are different (they don't have a single type_ctor, for starters).
It also separates out character constants, since they were alreay treated
specially in most places, though not in some places where they *ought* to
have been treated specially. Take the opportunity to give some other cons_ids
better names.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Make the change described above, and document it.

	Put the implementations of the predicates declared in each part
	of this module next to the declarations, instead of keeping all the
	code until the very end (where it was usually far from their
	declarations).

	Remove three predicates with identical definitions from inst_match.m,
	inst_util.m and mode_constraints.m, and put the common definition
	in prog_data.m.

library/term_io.m:
	Add a new predicate that is basically a reversible version of
	the existing function espaced_char, since the definition of char_consts
	needs reversibilty.

	Minor changes, mostly to ignore the type_ctor in cons_ids in places
	where it is not needed, take the type_ctor from the cons_id in places
	where it is more convenient, conform to the new names of some cons_ids,
	conform to the changes in hlds_out.m, and/or add now-needed imports
	of builtin_lib_types.m.

	In some places, the handling previously applied to cons/2 (which
	included tuples and character constants as well as user-defined
	function symbols) is now applied only to user-defined function symbols
	or to user-defined function symbols and tuples, as appropriate,
	with character constants being handled more like the other kinds of
	constants.

	In inst_match.m, rename a whole bunch of predicates to avoid
	ambiguities.

	In prog_util.m, remove two predicates that did almost nothing yet were
	far too easy to misuse.

Estimated hours taken: 2
Branches: main

Fix a coverage profiling bug caused by new changes to the deep profiler with
regard to 'from ground term construction' scopes.

compiler/deep_profiling.m:
    Mark from ground term construction scopes as not being instrumentation
    introduced by the deep profiling pass.

compiler/goal_util.m:
    Create a predicate that transforms a goal and all it's children according
    to a higher order argument.

5ad9a27793 Speed up the compiler's handling of code that constructs large ground terms
Estimated hours taken: 80
Branches: main

Speed up the compiler's handling of code that constructs large ground terms
by specializing the treatment of such code.

This diff reduces the compilation time for training_cars_full.m from 106.9
seconds to 30.3 seconds on alys, my laptop. The time on tools/speedtest
stays pretty much the same.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Record the classification of from_ground_term scopes as purely
	constructing terms, purely deconstructing them or something other.

	Fix an old potential bug: variables inside the construct_how fields
	of unifications weren't being renamed along with other variables.
	This is a bug if any part of the compiler later looks at those
	variables. (I am not sure whether or not this happens.)

compiler/superhomogenous.m:
	Provisionally mark newly constructed static terms as being
	from_ground_term_construct. Mode checking will either confirm this
	or change the scope kind.

compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
	Add a new option, from_ground_term_threshold, that allows the user to
	set the boundary between ground terms that get scopes and ground terms
	do not. I plan to experiment with different settings later.

compiler/modes.m:
	Make this classification. For scopes that construct ground terms,
	use a specialized algorithm that avoids quadratic behavior.
	(It does not access the unify_inst_table, which is where the
	factor of N other than the length of the goal list came from.)
	The total size of the instmap_deltas, if printed out, still looks like
	O(N^2) in size, but due to structure sharing it needs only O(N) memory.

	For scopes that construct ground terms, set the determinism information
	so that det_analysis.m doesn't have to traverse such scopes.

	When handling disjunctions, check whether some nonlocals of the
	disjunctions are constructed by from_ground_term_construct scopes.
	For any such nonlocals, set their insts to just ground, throwing away
	the precise information we have about exactly what function symbols
	they and ALL their subterms are bound to. This is HUGE win, since
	it allows us avoid spending a lot of time building a huge merge_inst
	table, which later passes of the compiler (e.g. equiv_type_hlds) would
	then have to spend similarly huge times traversing.

	This approach does have a down side. If lots of arms of a disjunction
	bind a nonlocal to a large ground term, but a few bind it to a SMALL
	ground term, a term below the from_ground_term_threshold, this
	optimization won't kick in. That could be one purpose of the new
	option. It isn't documented yet; I will seek feedback about its
	usefulness first.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
	Handle the three different kinds of right hand sides separately.
	This yields a small speedup, because now we don't test rhs_vars and
	rhs_functors (the common right hand sides) for a special case
	(goals containing "any" insts) that is applicable only to
	rhs_lambda_goals.

compiler/unique_modes.m:
	Don't traverse scopes that construct ground terms, since modes.m has
	already done everything that needs to be done.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Don't traverse scopes that construct ground terms, since modes.m has
	already done the needed work.

compiler/instmap.m:
	Add a new predicate for use by modes.m.

	Many predicate names in this module were quite uninformative; give them
	informative names.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	If this pass invalidates the from_ground_term_construct invariants,
	then mark the relevant scope as from_ground_term_other.

	Delete two unused access predicates.

compiler/equiv_type_hlds.m:
	Don't traverse scopes that construct ground terms, since modes.m
	ensures that their instmap deltas do not contain typed insts, and
	thus the scope cannot contain types that need to be expanded.

	Convert some predicates to single clauses.

compiler/goal_form.m:
compiler/goal_util.m:
	In predicates that test goals for various properties, don't traverse
	scopes that construct ground terms when the outcome of the test
	is the same for all such scopes.

	Convert some predicates to single clauses.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Do not look for common structs in from_ground_term_construct scopes,
	both because this speeds up the compiler, and because retaining
	references to ground terms is in fact a pessimization, not an
	optimization. This is because (a) those references need to be stored in
	stack slots across calls, and (b) the C code generators ensure that
	the cells representing ground terms will be shared as needed.

	If all arms of a switch are from_ground_term_construct scopes,
	do not merge the instmap_deltas from those arms, since this is
	both time-consuming (even after the other changes in this diff)
	and extremely unlikely to improve the instmap_delta.

	Disable common_struct in from_ground_term_construct scopes,
	since for these scopes, it is actually a pessimization.

	Do not delete from_ground_term_construct scopes, since many
	compiler passes can now use them.

	Do some manual deforestation, break up some large predicates,
	and give better names to some.

compiler/liveness.m
	Special-case the handling from_ground_term_construct scopes. This
	allows us to traverse them just once instead of three times, and this
	traversal is simpler and faster than any of the three.

	In some traversals, we were switching on the goal type twice; once
	in e.g. detect_liveness_in_goal_2, and once by calling
	goal_expr_has_subgoals. Eliminate the double switching by merging
	the relevant predicates. (The double-switching structure was easier
	to work with before we had multi-cons-id switches.)

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Move a lookup after a test, so we don't have to do it if the test
	fails.

	Provide a specialized mode for a predicate. This should allow the
	compiler to eliminate an argument and a test in the common case.

	Note a possible chance for a speedup.

compiler/typecheck_info.m:
	Don't apply empty substitutions to the types of a possibly very large
	set of variables.

compiler/quantification.m:
	Don't quantify from_ground_term_construct scopes. They are created
	correctly quantified, and any compiler pass that invalidates that
	quantification also removes the from_ground_term_construct mark.

	Don't apply empty renamings to a possibly very large set of variables.

	Move the code for handling scopes to its own predicate, to avoid
	overwhelming the code that handles other kinds of goals. Even from
	this, factor out the renaming code, since it is needed only for
	some kinds of scopes.

	Make some predicate names better reflect what the predicate does.

compiler/pd_cost.m:
	For from_ground_term_construct scopes, instead of computing their cost
	by adding up the costs of the goals inside, make their cost a constant,
	since binding a variable to a static term takes constant time.

compiler/pd_info.m:
	Add prefixes on field names to avoid ambiguities.

	These passes have nothing to do in from_ground_term_construct scopes,
	so don't traverse them.

	In some modules (e.g. dead_proc_elim), some traversals had to be kept.

	In loop_inv.m, replace a code structure that updated accumulators
	with functions (which prevented the natural use of state variables),
	that in lots of places reconstructed the term it had just
	deconstructed, and obscured the identical handling of different kinds
	of goals, with a structure based on predicates, state variables and
	shared code for different goal types where possible.

	In store_alloc.m, avoid some double switching on the same value.

	In stratify.m, unneeded_code.m and unused_args.m, rename predicates
	to avoid ambiguities.

compiler/size_prof.m:
	Turn from_ground_term_construct scopes into from_ground_term_other

	terms.

	Give predicates better names.

compiler/*.m:
	Minor changes to conform to the changes above.

compiler/make_hlds_passes.m:
	With -S, print statistics after the third pass over items, since
	this is the time-consuming one.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Conform to the new names of some predicates.

	When declining to output a HLDS dump because it would be identical to
	the previous dump, don't confuse the user either by being silent about
	the decision, or by leaving an old dump laying around that could be
	mistaken for a new one.

tools/binary:
tools/binary_step:
	Bring these tools up to date.

compiler/Mmakefile:
	Add an int3s target for use by the new code in the tools. The
	Mmakefiles in the other directories with Mercury code already have
	such a target.

compiler/notes/allocation.html:
	Fix an out-of-date reference.

tests/debugger/polymorphic_ground_term.{m,inp,exp}:
	New test case to check whether liveness.m handles typeinfo liveness
	of ground terms correctly.

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

tests/debugger/polymorphic_output.{m,exp}:
	Fix tab/space mixup.
