0c162fb50e Improve diagnostics for higher-order mode errors.
In case of a problem with an argument of a higher order call,
we used to generate diagnostics containing text such as

    in argument 2 (i.e. argument 1 of the called function)
    of impure higher-order function call:

This clumsy construction was needed because the HLDS did not contain
enough info. Specifically, it did not specify whether in the source code,
the higher order call was written as e.g. call(P, A, B, C) or as P(A, B, C).
If the former, then then a problem with e.g. A occurs in argument 2
of the call to the 'call' builtin; if the latter, then it occurs
in argument 1 of the call to 'P'.

This diff fixes that. It adds to the HLDS representation of higher order
calls a record of the original form of the call in the source code

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
    Add this field, the higher_order_syntax field, to the representation
    of higher order calls.

compiler/goal_expr_to_goal.m:
    Fill the higher_order_syntax field for higher order predicate calls.

compiler/resolve_unify_functor.m:
    Fill the higher_order_syntax field for higher order function calls.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    Change the representation of generic calls in call_ids, which we use
    to identify callees for diagnostics, to include both the variable
    specifying the callee in higher order calls (by changing from a
    generic_call_id to the generic_call from which it would be derived
    by throwing out that info), and the var_name_source needed to
    look up its name.

compiler/hlds_out_util.m:
    Use the new higher_order_syntax field to generate text that

    - identifies the higher order call as using either call(P, A, B, C)
      syntax or P(A, B, C) syntax, and likewise for function, and

    - specifies the exact argument number (which will depend on the above
      distinction).

    This should result in more easily understandable diagnostics.

    Add a version of this predicate that generates text that specifically
    describes the higher order callee, not the higher order call as a whole.

    Add an option to suppress the printing of variable names.
    We use this to *not* refer to e.g. "the predicate P" when reporting
    an error about P actually being a function, not a predicate.

compiler/mode_info.m:
    Rename mode_context_call to mode_context_call_arg, because
    the context it describes is one argument of a call.

    Add a new mode context, mode_context_call, which now describes
    a call as a whole.

compiler/mode_errors.m:
    Use the new facilies described above to generate better diagnostics
    for higher order calls.

compiler/modecheck_util.m:
    Document the reason why we handle argument numbers for higher order calls
    the way we do.

    When generating an error that relates the whole of a higher order call,
    use the new mechanism in mode_info.m to record the fact that the error
    is not specific to any one argument of the call. Not doing this would
    include the argument number in the context of the error, which would be
    misleading.

    Add a utility function that is needed by more than one module below.

0fa51cc45c Use color in typecheck_error_undef.m ...
... and change the coloring done in many other modules.

compiler/typecheck_error_undef.m:
    Add color to the diagnostics generated by this module.

    In a few cases, improve the wording of the diagnostic.

    Make the name of a function and of a function symbol more descriptive.

    Convert some predicates from using many clauses to using
    an explicit disjunction.

    Delete a function that was sort-of a specialize version of a
    utility function in error_spec.m.

compiler/hlds_error_util.m:
    Change the functions that return descriptions of predicates and procedures,
    mostly for use in diagnostics, to allow the parts of those descriptions
    specific to an individual predicate or procedure to be colored *without*
    coloring the generic parts (such as the word "predicate" or "function").

    Add simpler versions of the affected functions for use cases that
    do not need any coloring.

5eee81204e A big step towards cleaning up the way we handle errors.
Estimated hours taken: 28
Branches: main

A big step towards cleaning up the way we handle errors. The main changes are

- the provision, in error_util.m, of a mechanism for completely specifying
  everything to do with a single error in one data structure,

- the conversion of typecheck_errors.m from using io.write_string to
  using this new capability,

- the conversion of mode_errors.m and det_report.m from using
  write_error_pieces to using this new capability, and

- consistently using the quoting style `symname'/N instead of `symname/N'
  in error_util and hlds_error_util (previously, error_util used the former
  but hlds_error_util used the latter).

This diff sets up later diffs which will collect all error specifications
in a central place and print them all at once, in order.

compiler/error_util.m:
	The new type error_spec, which completely specifies an error.
	An error_spec may have multiple components with different contexts
	and may have parts which are printed only under certain conditions,
	e.g. a given option being set. Each error_spec has a severity
	and also records which phase found the error.

	The new predicate write_error_spec takes care of updates of the exit
	status for errors and (if --halt-at-warn is set) for warnings. It also
	takes care of setting the flag that calls for the reminder about -E
	at the end.

	This diff also makes it simpler to use the ability to print arbitrary
	output. It adds the ability to include integers in messages directly,
	and the ability to create blank lines. It renames some function symbols
	to avoid ambiguities.

	Move a predicate that only used by typecheck_errors.m to that file.

compiler/hlds_error_util.m:
	Switch to the `symname'/N quoting style for describing predicates and
	procedures.

compiler/prog_util.m:
	Switch to the `symname'/N quoting style for describing
	sym_name_and_arity.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Provide a predicate to increment the number of errors not by one,
	but by the number of errors printed by write_error_spec.

	Fix some documentation rot.

compiler/typecheck_errors.m:
	Use write_error_spec instead of io.write_strings to print error
	messages. In several cases, improve the formatting of the messages
	printed.

	Mark a number of places where we don't (yet) update the number of
	errors in the module_info correctly.

	Rename the checkpoint predicate to avoid potential ambiguity with
	similar predicates in e.g. mode_info.

compiler/typecheck_info.m:
	Group the code for writing stuff out together in one bunch. For each
	such predicate, create another that returns a list of format components
	instead of doing I/O directly.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Move the code for writing inference messages here from
	typecheck_errors.m, since these messages aren't errors.

compiler/mode_errors.m:
compiler/det_report.m:
	Use write_error_spec instead of write_error_pieces. In the case of
	mode_errors.m, this means we now get correct the set of circumstances
	in which we set the flag that calls for the reminder about -E.

compiler/add_pragma.m:
compiler/add_type.m:
	Convert some code that used to use write_error_pieces to print error
	messages to use write_error_spec instead.

compiler/assertion.m:
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	Assertion.m used to contain some code to check for assertions in the
	interface that mention predicates that are not exported. Move most
	of this code to post_typecheck.m (which is where this code used to be
	called from). One small part, which is a test for a particular property
	of import_statuses, is moved to hlds_pred.m to be with all the other
	similar tests of import_statuses.

compiler/prog_util.m:
	Change unqualify_name from a predicate to a function.

compiler/pred_table.m:
compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Avoid some ambiguities by adding a suffix to the names of some
	predicates.

compiler/*.m:
	Conform to the changes above.

library/list.m:
	Add a function that was previously present (with different names)
	in two compiler modules.

tests/hard_coded/allow_stubs.exp:
	Update the format of the expected exception.

tests/invalid/errors2.err_exp2:
	Remove this file. As far as I can tell, it was never the correct
	expected output on the main branch. (It originated on the alias branch
	way back in the mists of time.)

tests/invalid/*.err_exp:
tests/invalid/purity/*.err_exp:
tests/warnings/*.exp:
	Update the format of the expected error messages.

tests/recompilation/*.err_exp.2:
	Update the format of the expected messages about what was modified.

b819fbc0a6 Give the compiler the capability of detecting errors that manifest themselves
Estimated hours taken: 16
Branches: main

Give the compiler the capability of detecting errors that manifest themselves
as mismatches between the format string and the list of values to be printed
in calls to string.format and io.format.

This capability is controlled through two new options:

	--warn-known-bad-format-calls
	--warn-unknown-format-calls

The first (which will default to "on" once this change has bootstrapped)
controls whether the compiler emits warnings for statically known mismatches.
The second (which will default to "off") controls whether the compiler emits
warnings in cases where either the format string or the structure of the list
of values to be printed is not available statically to be checked.

NEWS:
	Mention the new capability.

compiler/options.m:
	Add the two new options.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document the new options.

compiler/format_call.m:
	New module to implement the new capability.

compiler/notes/compiler_structure.html:
	Document the new module.

compiler/check_hlds.m:
	Include the new module.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Invoke the new module if the procedure being processed contains calls
	to string.format or io.format.

	Fix an old bug: we could generate warnings or even errors when
	simplifying predicate bodies imported from other modules via
	intermodule optimization.

	Don't export get/set predicates that do not need to be exported.

compiler/det_report.m:
	Add new kinds of error specifications for the errors detected by the
	new module.

	Separate out the context of each error specification, in order
	to allow the error messages to be sorted by context; this makes
	the output much easier to read.

compiler/common.m:
compiler/det_analysis.m:
compiler/simplify.m:
	Conform to the change to det_report.m.

mdbcomp/prim_data.m:
	Add a utility function for forming the possibly qualified names of
	library modules (such as "io" and "string").

library/Mercury.options:
compiler/Mercury.options:
	Add the lines that disable the new checks in the modules that need them
	disabled. The new lines are commented out until installed compilers all
	understand them, at which point in time we will add the requirement to
	understand the option to configure.in.

compiler/fact_table.m:
compiler/mlds_to_il.m:
	Fix three bugs reported by the new check that have apparently escaped
	detection all this time.

library/rtti_implementation.m:
	Change some code to avoid a spurious warning from the new checks.

library/string.m:
	Rename a predicate to avoid an unnecessary and confusing overloading of
	its name.

	Replace __ with . as module qualifier connective.

compiler/handle_options.m:
library/pprint.m:
	Misc cleanups.

tests/invalid/string_format_bad.{m,err_exp}:
tests/invalid/string_format_unknown.{m,err_exp}:
	New test cases to test the new warnings.

tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
tests/invalid/Mercury.options:
	Enable the new test cases.

tests/general/string_format_test*.exp*:

Estimated hours taken: 8

Improve the error messages generated for determinism errors involving committed
choice contexts. Previously, we printed a message to the effect that e.g.
a cc pred is called in context that requires all solutions, but we didn't say
*why* the context requires all solutions. We now keep track of all the goals
to the right that could fail, since it is these goals that may reject the first
solution of a committed choice goal.

The motivation for this diff was the fact that I found that locating the
failing goal can be very difficult if the conjunction to the right is
a couple of hundred lines long. This would have been a nontrivial problem,
since (a) unifications involving values of user-defined types are committed
choice goals, and (b) we can expect uses of user-defined types to increase.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Keep track of goals to the right of the current goal that could fail,
	and include them in the error representation if required.

compiler/det_report.m:
	Include the list of failing goals to the right in the representations
	of determinism errors involving committed committed choice goals.

	Convert the last part of this module that wasn't using error_util
	to use error_util. Make most parts of this module just construct
	error message specifications; print those specifications (using
	error_util) in only a few places.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Add a function for use by the new code in det_report.m.

compiler/error_util.m:
	Add a function for use by the new code in det_report.m.

compiler/error_util.m:
compiler/compiler_util.m:
	Error_util is still changing reasonably often, and yet it is
	included in lots of modules, most of which need only a few simple
	non-parse-tree-related predicates from it (e.g. unexpected).
	Move those predicates to a new module, compiler_util.m. This also
	eliminates some undesirable dependencies from libs to parse_tree.

compiler/libs.m:
	Include compiler_util.m.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Document compiler_util.m, and fix the documentation of some other
	modules.

compiler/*.m:
	Import compiler_util instead of or in addition to error_util.
	To make this easier, consistently use . instead of __ for module
	qualifying module names.

tests/invalid/det_errors_cc.{m,err_exp}:
	Add this new test case to test the error messages for cc contexts.

tests/invalid/det_errors_deet.{m,err_exp}:
	Add this new test case to test the error messages for unifications
	inside function symbols.

tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
	Add the new test cases.

tests/invalid/det_errors.err_exp:
tests/invalid/magicbox.err_exp:
	Change the expected output to conform to the change in det_report.m,
	which is now more consistent.
