129f605d25 Fix bugs in the handling of purity in the optimization passes
Estimated hours taken: 8
Branches: main, release

Fix bugs in the handling of purity in the optimization passes
(in particular constraint propagation), which caused purity
annotations on goals to be lost. This caused
tests/tabling/unused_args to fail on earth.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Make the version of goal_info_init called from
	the optimization passes take the purity as an
	argument. Previously, callers were constructing
	a goal_info then adding the purity, which was
	error prone.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
compiler/purity.m:
	Move the predicates to deal with purity representation
	in hlds_goal_infos into hlds_goal.m. Rationale -
	goal_info_get_determinism is not in det_analysis.m,
	goal_info_get_nonlocals is not in quantification.m, etc.
	This makes it easier to make the purity setting code
	efficient.

	Don't allocate memory in add_goal_info_purity_feature
	if the call doesn't change the purity.

compiler/*.m:
	Pass the extra argument to goal_info_init.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Remove a duplicate definition of
	hlds_goal__make_int_const_construction.

189b9215ae This diff implements stack slot optimization for the LLDS back end based on
Estimated hours taken: 400
Branches: main

This diff implements stack slot optimization for the LLDS back end based on
the idea that after a unification such as A = f(B, C, D), saving the
variable A on the stack indirectly also saves the values of B, C and D.

Figuring out what subset of {B,C,D} to access via A and what subset to access
via their own stack slots is a tricky optimization problem. The algorithm we
use to solve it is described in the paper "Using the heap to eliminate stack
accesses" by Zoltan Somogyi and Peter Stuckey, available in ~zs/rep/stackslot.
That paper also describes (and has examples of) the source-to-source
transformation that implements the optimization.

The optimization needs to know what variables are flushed at call sites
and at program points that establish resume points (e.g. entries to
disjunctions and if-then-elses). We already had code to compute this
information in live_vars.m, but this code was being invoked too late.
This diff modifies live_vars.m to allow it to be invoked both by the stack
slot optimization transformation and by the code generator, and allows its
function to be tailored to the requirements of each invocation.

The information computed by live_vars.m is specific to the LLDS back end,
since the MLDS back ends do not (yet) have the same control over stack
frame layout. We therefore store this information in a new back end specific
field in goal_infos. For uniformity, we make all the other existing back end
specific fields in goal_infos, as well as the similarly back end specific
store map field of goal_exprs, subfields of this new field. This happens
to significantly reduce the sizes of goal_infos.

To allow a more meaningful comparison of the gains produced by the new
optimization, do not save any variables across erroneous calls even if
the new optimization is not enabled.

compiler/stack_opt.m:
	New module containing the code that performs the transformation
	to optimize stack slot usage.

compiler/matching.m:
	New module containing an algorithm for maximal matching in bipartite
	graphs, specialized for the graphs needed by stack_opt.m.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Invoke the new optimization if the options ask for it.

compiler/stack_alloc.m:
	New module containing code that is shared between the old,
	non-optimizing stack slot allocation system and the new, optimizing
	stack slot allocation system, and the code for actually allocating
	stack slots in the absence of optimization.

	Live_vars.m used to have two tasks: find out what variables need to be
	saved on the stack, and allocating those variables to stack slots.
	Live_vars.m now does only the first task; stack_alloc.m now does
	the second, using code that used to be in live_vars.m.

compiler/trace_params:
	Add a new function to test the trace level, which returns yes if we
	want to preserve the values of the input headvars.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Document the new modules (as well as trace_params.m, which wasn't
	documented earlier).

compiler/live_vars.m:
	Delete the code that is now in stack_alloc.m and graph_colour.m.

	Separate out the kinds of stack uses due to nondeterminism: the stack
	slots used by nondet calls, and the stack slots used by resumption
	points, in order to allow the reuse of stack slots used by resumption
	points after execution has left their scope. This should allow the
	same stack slots to be used by different variables in the resumption
	point at the start of an else branch and nondet calls in the then
	branch, since the resumption point of the else branch is not in effect
	when the then branch is executed.

	If the new option --opt-no-return-calls is set, then say that we do not
	need to save any values across erroneous calls.

	Use type classes to allow the information generated by this module
	to be recorded in the way required by its invoker.

	Package up the data structures being passed around readonly into a
	single tuple.

compiler/store_alloc.m:
	Allow this module to be invoked by stack_opt.m without invoking the
	follow_vars transformation, since applying follow_vars before the form
	of the HLDS code is otherwise final can be a pessimization.

	Make the module_info a part of the record containing the readonly data
	passed around during the traversal.

compiler/common.m:
	Do not delete or move around unifications created by stack_opt.m.

compiler/call_gen.m:
compiler/code_info.m:
compiler/continuation_info.m:
compiler/var_locn.m:
	Allow the code generator to delete its last record of the location
	of a value when generating code to make an erroneous call, if the new
	--opt-no-return-calls option is set.

compiler/code_gen.m:
	Use a more useful algorithm to create the messages/comments that
	we put into incr_sp instructions, e.g. by distinguishing between
	predicates and functions. This is to allow the new scripts in the
	tool directory to gather statistics about the effect of the
	optimization on stack frame sizes.

library/exception.m:
	Make a hand-written incr_sp follow the new pattern.

compiler/arg_info.m:
	Add predicates to figure out the set of input, output and unused
	arguments of a procedure in several different circumstances.
	Previously, variants of these predicates were repeated in several
	places.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Export some previously private utility predicates.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Turn off stack slot optimizations when debugging, unless
	--trace-optimized is set.

	Add a new dump format useful for debugging --optimize-saved-vars.

compiler/hlds_llds.m:
	New module for handling all the stuff specific to the LLDS back end
	in HLDS goal_infos.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Move all the relevant stuff into the new back end specific field
	in goal_infos.

compiler/notes/allocation.html:
	Update the documentation of store maps to reflect their movement
	into a subfield of goal_infos.

compiler/*.m:
	Minor changes to accomodate the placement of all back end specific
	information about goals from goal_exprs and individual fields of
	goal_infos into a new field in goal_infos that gathers together
	all back end specific information.

compiler/use_local_vars.m:
	Look for sequences in which several instructions use a fake register
	or stack slot as a base register pointing to a cell, and make those
	instructions use a local variable instead.

	Without this, a key assumption of the stack slot optimization,
	that accessing a field in a cell costs only one load or store
	instruction, would be much less likely to be true. (With this
	optimization, the assumption will be false only if the C compiler's
	code generator runs out of registers in a basic block, which for
	the code we generate should be unlikely even on x86s.)

compiler/options.m:
	Make the old option --optimize-saved-vars ask for both the old stack
	slot optimization (implemented by saved_vars.m) that only eliminates
	the storing of constants in stack slots, and the new optimization.

	Add two new options --optimize-saved-vars-{const,cell} to turn on
	the two optimizations separately.

	Add a bunch of options to specify the parameters of the new
	optimizations, both in stack_opt.m and use_local_vars.m. These are
	for implementors only; they are deliberately not documented.

	Add a new option, --opt-no-return-cells, that governs whether we avoid
	saving variables on the stack at calls that cannot return, either by
	succeeding or by failing. This is for implementors only, and thus
	deliberately documented only in comments. It is enabled by default.

compiler/optimize.m:
	Transmit the value of a new option to use_local_vars.m.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Update the documentation of --optimize-saved-vars.

library/tree234.m:
	Undo a previous change of mine that effectively applied this
	optimization by hand. That change complicated the code, and now
	the compiler can do the optimization automatically.

tools/extract_incr_sp:
	A new script for extracting stack frame sizes and messages from
	stack increment operations in the C code for LLDS grades.

tools/frame_sizes:
	A new script that uses extract_incr_sp to extract information about
	stack frame sizes from the C files saved from a stage 2 directory
	by makebatch and summarizes the resulting information.

tools/avg_frame_size:
	A new script that computes average stack frame sizes from the files
	created by frame_sizes.

tools/compare_frame_sizes:
	A new script that compares the stack frame size information
	extracted from two different stage 2 directories by frame_sizes,
	reporting on both average stack frame sizes and on specific procedures
	that have different stack frame sizes in the two versions.

Branches: main

Split code_aux.m into two. The part that remains in code_aux.m needs stuff
from the LLDS back end. The part that moves out (to the new file goal_form)
doesn't. This removes several unnecessary dependencies on the LLDS back end.

311d0af1e5 Constraint propagation.
Estimated hours taken: 90

Constraint propagation.

compiler/constraint.m:
	Push constraints left and inwards as much as possible
	within a goal. This module has been completely rewritten.

compiler/deforest.m:
	Push constraints within a goal before processing it.

	Make specialized versions for calls with constrained outputs.

	Rerun determinism inference on specialized versions
	when constraint propagation has been run, because the
	determinism can change from nondet to semidet.

compiler/pd_util.m:
	Add pd_util__propagate_constraints, which uses constraint.m
	to push constraints within a goal.

	Add some documentation for the exported predicates.

compiler/pd_term.m:
	Add support for checking termination of the optimization process
	for constraint propagation, which differs from deforestation
	in that the conjunctions selected for optimization don't
	necessarily have a call at both ends.

compiler/pd_debug.m:
	Print some extra information when `--debug-pd' is enabled.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Check whether constraint propagation should be performed when
	working out whether to run the deforestation pass.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Add `no_inline' markers to the "recursive" procedures
	introduced for builtins to stop constraint propagation
	attempting to specialize such procedures.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Don't fill in the declared determinism field of the predicates
	introduced by `hlds_pred__define_new_pred', so that rerunning
	determinism inference will compute a more accurate determinism.

compiler/inlining.m:
	Requantify before recomputing instmap_deltas, not after.

compiler/det_report.m:
	Add predicates to disable warnings when rerunning
	determinism analysis after constraint propagation.

compiler/options.m:
	Add documentation for `--constraint-propagation'.

	Add option `--local-constraint-propagation', which makes
	deforestation call constraint.m to move constraints within
	a goal, but does not create specialized versions of procedures
	for which there are calls with constrained outputs.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	`--constraint-propagation' implies `--local-constraint-propagation'.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Change the documentation to show that constraint.m is now part
	of the deforestation pass.

NEWS:
	Announce the new transformation.

	Document the new options.

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

Aditi update syntax, type and mode checking.

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

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

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

	Add a `lambda_eval_method' field to lambda_goals.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	Add `aditi_top_down' to the type `marker'.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Parse Aditi updates.

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

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

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Typecheck Aditi builtins.

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

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

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

compiler/modes.m:
compiler/unique_modes.m:

	`aditi_di', `aditi_uo' and `aditi_ui'. Installing extras/aditi/aditi.m
	somewhere would remove the need for these.

8d41d4200a Fix some old problems with HLDS dumps, including blank lines between goals
Estimated hours taken: 4

Fix some old problems with HLDS dumps, including blank lines between goals
(using vi's paragraph commands to move between predicates now works),
unescaped characters in strings and chars in unifications, and extra dots
in type definitions.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Make the above fixes. To fix the problem of blank lines between goals,
	we reinterpret the meaning of the Follow arguments of several
	predicates that print goals, which say what to print after the
	goal, to include the newline to print after the goal. This avoids
	lots of separate calls to io__write_string("\n").

	Document the meanings of the arguments of many predicates.

compiler/prog_out.m:
	Modify prog_out__write_sym_name to escape any special characters
	(e.g. newlines) in the symbols written. (Strings, as cons_ids,
	are printed as symbols.)

	Add a new predicate for printing a symbol with single forward quotes
	around it.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury:
	When printing cons_id, quote strings.

compiler/constraint.m:
compiler/mode_errors.m:
compiler/pd_debug.m:
compiler/rl_dump.m:
compiler/saved_vars.m:
	Conform to the new meaning of the Follow arguments in hlds_out.m.

5c955626f2 These changes make var' and term' polymorphic.
Estimated hours taken: 20

These changes make `var' and `term' polymorphic. This allows us to make
variables and terms representing types of a different type to those
representing program terms and those representing insts.

These changes do not *fix* any existing problems (for instance
there was a messy conflation of program variables and inst variables,
and where necessary I've just called varset__init(InstVarSet) with
an XXX comment).

NEWS:
	Mention the changes to the standard library.

library/term.m:
	Make term, var and var_supply polymorphic.
	Add new predicates:
		term__generic_term/1
		term__coerce/2
		term__coerce_var/2
		term__coerce_var_supply/2

library/varset.m:
	Make varset polymorphic.
	Add the new predicate:
		varset__coerce/2

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Introduce type equivalences for the different kinds of
	vars, terms, and varsets that we use (tvar and tvarset
	were already there but have been changed to use the
	polymorphic var and term).

	Also change the various kinds of items to use the appropriate
	kinds of var/varset.

compiler/*.m:
	Thousands of boring changes to make the compiler type correct
	with the different types for type, program and inst vars and
	varsets.

75354e38bb Deforestation.
Estimated hours taken: 400

Deforestation.

This increases the code size of the compiler by ~80k when compiling
with --intermodule-optimization --deforestation.

The improvement from deforestation is not measurable for mmc -C make_hlds.m.
Compile time for make_hlds.m increased from 50.7 seconds to 52.2 seconds
when running deforestation.

compiler/simplify.m
compiler/common.m
	Provide a nicer interface for simplifying a goal,
	not an entire procedure.
	Rework the interface to avoid manipulating lots of booleans.
	Return an estimate of the improvement in cost from simplification.
	Remove failing cases and disjuncts.
	Add an option to optimize common structures even across calls.
	Remove code to merge branched goals, since that is now
	done by deforestation.

	Fix a bug: the code to collect instmap_deltas for cases was not
	including the switched-on variable in the instmap_delta,
	which caused an abort in merge_instmap_delta if the switched
	on variable was further instantiated in the switch.
	This came up while compiling the compiler with --deforestation.

compiler/det_report.
	Output duplicate call warnings even if --warn-simple-code is not set.
	XXX fix the same problem with `:- pragma obsolete'.

compiler/code_aux.m
	Update code_aux__cannot_loop to use termination information.

compiler/hlds_pred.m
compiler/dnf.m
	Pass the type_info_varmap and typeclass_info_varmap
	into hlds_pred__define_new_pred.
	Restrict the variables of the new procedure onto the variables
	of the goal.
	Make sure all relevant type_infos are passed into the new
	procedure if --typeinfo-liveness is set.

compiler/modes.m
compiler/unique_modes.m
compiler/mode_info.m
compiler/modecheck_unify.m
	Put `how_to_check_goal' into the mode_info, rather
	than passing it around.
	Add a field to the `check_unique_modes' case which
	controls whether unique modes is allowed to choose
	a different procedure. For deforestation, this is
	not allowed, since it could result in choosing a less
	efficient procedure after generalisation.

compiler/options.m
	New options:
	--deforestation
	--deforestation-depth-limit
		Safety net for termination of the algorithm.
	--deforestation-cost-factor
		Fudge factor for working out whether deforestation
		was worthwhile.
	--deforestation-vars-threshold
		Like --inline-vars-threshold.
	Enable deforestation at -O3.

	Removed an unnecessary mode for option_defaults_2, since it
	resulted in a warning about disjuncts which cannot succeed.

compiler/handle_options.m
	--no-reorder-conj implies --no-deforestation.

compiler/inlining.m
	Separate code to rename goals into inlining__do_inline_call.

compiler/hlds_goal.m
	Added predicates goal_list_nonlocals, goal_list_instmap_delta
	and goal_list_determinism to approximate information about
	conjunctions.

compiler/hlds_module.m
	Added module_info_set_pred_proc_info to put an updated
	pred_info and proc_info back into the module_info.

compiler/hlds_out.m
	Exported hlds_out__write_instmap for debugging of deforestation.
	Bracket module names on constructors where necessary.

compiler/mercury_compile.m
	Call deforestation.
	Use the new interface to simplify.m.

compiler/intermod.m
	Put recursive predicates with a top-level branched goal
	into `.opt' files.

goal_util.m
	Added goal_calls_pred_id to work out if a predicate is
	recursive before mode analysis.
	Export goal_util__goals_goal_vars for use by deforestation.
	Give a better message for a missing variable in a substitution.

compiler/instmap.m
	Give a better message for inst_merge failing.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.m
	Document the new modules.

library/varset.m
	Add varset__select to project a varset's names and values
	onto a set of variables.

doc/user_guide.texi
	Document deforestation.
	Remove a reference to a non-existent option, --no-specialize.

util/mdemangle.c
profiler/demangle.m
tests/misc_tests/mdemangle_test.{exp,inp}
	Handle the `DeforestationIn__' predicate names introduced by
	deforestation, similar to the `IntroducedFrom__' for lambda goals.

New files:

deforest.m	Deforestation.
pd_cost.m	Cost estimation.
pd_debug.m	Debugging output.
pd_info.m	State type and version control.

5013dd9c76 Implement nondet pragma C codes.
Estimated hours taken: 40

Implement nondet pragma C codes.

runtime/mercury_stacks.h:
	Define a new macro, mkpragmaframe, for use in the implementation
	of nondet pragma C codes. This new macro includes space for a
	struct with a given sruct tag in the nondet stack frame being created.

compiler/{prog_data.m,hlds_goal.m}:
	Revise the representation of pragma C codes, both as the item and
	in the HLDS.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Parse nondet pragma C declarations.

	Fix the indentation in some places.

compiler/llds.m:
	Include an extra argument in mkframe instructions. This extra argument
	gives the details of the C structure (if any) to be included in the
	nondet stack frame to be created.

	Generalize the LLDS representation of pragma C codes. Instead of a
	fixed sequence of <assign from inputs, user c code, assign to outputs>,
	let the sequence contain these elements, as well as arbitrary
	compiler-generated C code, in any order and possibly with repetitions.
	This flexibility is needed for nondet pragma C codes.

	Add a field to pragma C codes to say whether they can call Mercury.
	Some optimizations can do a better job if they know that a pragma C
	code cannot call Mercury.

	Add another field to pragma C codes to give the name of the label
	they refer to (if any). This is needed to prevent labelopt from
	incorrectly optimizing away the label definition.

	Add a new alternative to the type pragma_c_decl, to describe the
	declaration of the local variable that points to the save struct.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Output mkframe instructions that specify a struct as invoking the new
	mkpragmaframe macro, and make sure that the struct is declared just
	before the procedure that uses it.

	Other minor changes to keep up with the changes to the representation
	of pragma C code in the LLDS, and to make the output look a bit nicer.

compiler/pragma_c_gen.m:
	Add code to generate code for nondet pragma C codes. Revise the utility
	predicates and their data structures a bit to make this possible.

compiler/code_gen.m:
	Add code for the necessary special handling of prologs and epilogs
	of procedures defined by nondet pragma C codes. The prologs need
	to be modified to include a programmer-defined C structure in the
	nondet stack frame and to communicate the location of this structure
	to the pragma C code, whereas the functionality of the epilog is
	taken care of by the pragma C code itself.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	When creating a proc_info for a procedure defined by a pragma C code,
	we used to insert unifications between the headvars and the vars of
	the pragma C code into the body goal. We now perform substitutions
	instead. This removes a factor that would complicate the generation
	of code for nondet pragma C codes.

	Pass a moduleinfo down the procedures that warn about singletons
	(and other basic scope errors). When checking whether to warn about
	an argument of a pragma C code not being mentioned in the C code
	fragment, we need to know whether the argument is input or output,
	since input variables should appear in some code fragments in a
	nondet pragma C code and must not appear in others. The
	mode_is_{in,out}put checks need the moduleinfo.

	(We do not need to check for any variables being mentioned where
	they shouldn't be. The C compiler will fail in the presence of any
	errors of that type, and since those variables could be referred
	to via macros whose definitions we do not see, we couldn't implement
	a reliable test anyway.)

compiler/opt_util.m:
	Recognize that some sorts of pragma_c codes cannot affect the data
	structures that control backtracking. This allows peepholing to
	do a better job on code sequences produced for nondet pragma C codes.

	Recognize that the C code strings inside some pragma_c codes refer to
	other labels in the procedure. This prevents labelopt from incorrectly
	optimizing away these labels.

compiler/dupelim.m:
	If a label is referred to from within a C code string, then do not
	attempt to optimize it away.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Remove a now incorrect part of an error message.

compiler/*.m:
	Minor changes to conform to changes to the HLDS and LLDS data
	structures.

0b337ee174 Handle inference of mostly-unique (not just unique) modes.
Estimated hours taken: 25

Handle inference of mostly-unique (not just unique) modes.

compiler/unique_modes.m:
	Change the handling of calls so that if the mode originally selected
	by ordinary mode analysis (modes.m) won't work, then it now calls
	modecheck_call_pred to introduce a new mode for the predicate.

compiler/unify_proc.m:
	Generalize the existing "unify request queue" so that
	it can handle requests for any kind of predicate, not
	just for unification predicates, and hence rename the
	`unify_request' table which contains it as the `proc_request' table.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Rename the `unify_request' table as the `proc_request' table.

compiler/modecheck_call.m:
	When introducing new modes for predicates, do this by adding them
	to the request queue.  This ensures that when we do get around
	to processing predicates added in unique mode analysis, we will
	run mode analysis, switch detection, and determinism analysis
	before doing unique mode analysis.  To make this work, we
	need to pass down a `maybe(determinism)' argument indicating
	the determinism of the newly added procedure.  unique_modes.m
	sets this to the determinism inferred for the mode originally
	inferred by modes.m.  That should be OK, because uniqueness
	should not affect determinism.
	Also change modecheck_call_proc to return a `Changed' flag
	indicating whether we need to rerun fixpoint analysis.
	And change `get_var_insts_and_lives' to return `dead' for
	mostly_unique modes, not just for unique modes, so that
	we can infer `mdi' modes.

compiler/modes.m:
	Instead of analyzing everything to a fixpoint, and then
	analyzing the queued unification procedures, change it so
	that analysis of queued procedures is part of each fixpoint
	iteration.
	When doing ordinary mode analysis for calls, pass `no' as the
	new `maybe(determinism)' argument to modecheck_call_pred.

compiler/constraint.m:
compiler/cse_detection.m:
	Ignore the new output argument for modecheck_call_proc.

compiler/mode_util.m:
	Add code to insts_to_mode to recognize `muo', `mui', and `mdi'
	modes and use the corresponding abbreviations (previously this
	was done only for `uo', `ui', `di', `in' and `out').

tests/valid/mostly_uniq_mode_inf.m:
	A test case for the above change.

b4813457c9 A rewrite of termination analysis to make it significantly easier to modify,
Estimated hours taken: 60

A rewrite of termination analysis to make it significantly easier to modify,
and to extend its capabilities.

compiler/error_util.m:
	A new file containing code that makes it easier to generate
	nicely formatted error messages.

compiler/termination.m:
	Updates to reflect the changes to the representation of termination
	information.

	Instead of doing pass 1 on all SCCs and then pass 2 on all SCCs,
	we now do both pass 1 and 2 on an SCC before moving on to the next.

	Do not insist that either all procedures in an SCC are
	compiler-generated or all are user-written, since this need not be
	true in the presence of user-defined equality predicates.

	Clarify the structure of the code that handles builtins and compiler
	generated predicates.

	Concentrate all the code for updating module_infos in this module.
	Previously it was scattered in several places in several files.

	Put all the code for writing out termination information at the
	end of the module in a logical order.

compiler/term_traversal.m:
	A new file containing code used by both pass 1 and pass 2 to
	traverse procedure bodies.

compiler/term_pass1.m:
	Use the new traversal module.

	Clarify the fixpoint computation on the set of output supplier
	arguments.

	Remove duplicates from the list of equations given to the solver.
	This avoids a det stack overflow in lp.m when doing termination
	analysis on options.m.

	If an output argument of a predicate makes sense only in the absence
	of errors, then return it only in the absence of errors.

compiler/term_pass2.m:
	Use the new traversal module. Unlike the previous code, this allows us
	to ignore recursive calls with input arguments bigger than the head
	if those calls occur after goals that cannot succeed (since those
	calls will never be reached).

	Implement a better way of doing single argument analysis, which
	(unlike the previous version) works in the presence of mutual recursion
	and other calls between the recursive call and the start of the clause.

	Implement a more precise way of checking for recursions that don't
	cause termination problems. We now allow calls from p to q in which
	the recursive input supplier arguments can grow, provided that on
	any path on which q can call p, directly or indirectly, the recursive
	input supplier arguments shrink by a greater amount.

	If an output argument of a predicate makes sense only in the absence
	of errors, then return it only in the absence of errors.

compiler/term_util.m:
	Updates to reflect the changes to the representation of termination
	information.

	Reorder to put related code together.

	Change the interface of several predicates to better reflect the
	way they are used.

	Add some more utility predicates.

compiler/term_errors.m:
	Small changes to the set of possible errors, and major changes in
	the way the messages are printed out (we now use error_util).

compiler/options.m:
	Change --term-single-arg from being a bool to an int option,
	whose value indicates the maximum size of an SCC in which we try
	single argument analysis. (Large SCCs can cause single-arg analysis
	to require a lot of iterations.)

	Add an (int) option that controls the max number of paths
	that we are willing to analyze (analyzing too many paths can cause
	det stack overflow).

	Add an (int) option that controls the max number of causes of
	nontermination that we print out.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Use two separate slots in the proc_info to hold argument size data
	and termination info, instead of the single slot used until now.
	The two kinds of information are produced and used separately.

	Make the layout of the get and set procedures for proc_infos more
	regular, to facilitate later updates.

	The procedures proc_info_{,set_}variables did the same work as
	proc_info_{,set_}varset. To eliminate potential confusion, I
	removed the first set.

compiler/*.m:
	Change proc_info_{,set_}variables to proc_info_{,set_}varset.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Change the code to handle the arg size data and the termination
	info separately.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Change the internal representation of termination_info pragmas to
	hold the arg size data and the termination info separately.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Change the external representation of termination_info pragmas to
	group the arg size data together with the output supplier data,
	to which it is logically connected.

compiler/module_qual.m:
compiler/modules.m:
	Change the code to accommodate the change to the internal
	representation of termination_info pragmas.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Fix some documentation rot, and clarify some points.

	Document termination analysis.

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document --term-single-arg and the new options.

	Remove spaces from the ends of lines.

library/bag.m:
	Add a new predicate, bag__least_upper_bound.

	Fix code that would do the wrong thing if executed by Prolog.

	Remove spaces from the ends of lines.

library/list.m:
	Add a new predicate, list__take_upto.

library/set{,_ordlist}.m:
	Add a new predicate, set{,_ordlist}__count.

tests/term/*:
	A bunch of new test cases to test the behaviour of termination
	analysis. They are the small benchmark suite from our paper.

tests/Mmakefile:
	Enable the new test case directory.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	Add constraints to the pred_info.

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

	Add the "class_method" marker.

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

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

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

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

e3471f333f Fix a bug in inlining of polymorphic pragma c_code procedures.
Estimated hours taken: 3

Fix a bug in inlining of polymorphic pragma c_code procedures.

The bug was that if the actual argument type has a specific type
of say `float', then the C variable for the corresponding formal
parameter will be declared to have type `Float', whereas without
inlining the argument type would have been polymorphic and so
the C variable would have been declared to have type `Word'.
Hence we need to keep track of the original argument types,
before any inlining or specialization has occurred, and use
these original argument types to determine how to declare
the C variables, rather than using the actual argument types
for this particular specialization.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add a new field to pragma_c_code goals, holding the
	original argument types (before any inlining or specialization)
	of the pragma_c_code procedure.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Initialize this field with the declared argument types for
	the pragma c_code procedure.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Update this field to account for the inserted type_info variables.

compiler/code_gen.m:
	Pass this field to pragma_c_gen.m.

compiler/pragma_c_gen.m:
	Use the original argument types field for the pragma variable
	declarations, rather than looking up the actual types of the
	arguments.

compiler/*.m:
	Trivial changes to handle new field.

compiler/live_vars.m:
	Comment out some code to avoid a warning about `fail'
	in the condition of an if-then-else.

91c4330db7 The first half of a change to introduce nondet pragma C goals.
Estimated hours taken: 12

The first half of a change to introduce nondet pragma C goals.
This half makes the necessary modifications to the HLDS; the next
half will modify the LLDS and emit it.

prog_data:
	Add a new pragma type for nondet pragma c_codes; these specify
	the names of a a bunch of variables to save across backtracking,
	and a list of label names to which backtracking may take place.

	Rename is_recursive to may_call_mercury, since this is a more
	direct expression of the meaning.

prog_io:
	Move much of the functionality to new files.

prog_io_dcg, prog_io_goal, prog_io_pragma, prog_io_util:
	New files, made up of pieces of prog_io.

hlds_goal:
	Add an extra argument to the pragma_c_goals to store the extra
	information present in the new type of pragma c_codes.

det_analysis:
	Take into account that the new type of pragma_c goal may have
	more than one solution.

goal_util:
	Rename variables in the new field of pragma_cs.

live_vars:
	Allocate stack slots to the saved variables in the new type of pragma_c
	goals.

make_hlds:
	Handle the new type of pragma_c goals.

mercury_output, hlds_out:
	Output the new type of pragma_c goals.

garbage_out:
	Rename type "det" to "frame_type".

others:
	Ignore one more arg of pragma_c goals or import prog_io_util.

f23324f5fa This change fixes two bugs, in quantification and liveness.
Estimated hours taken: 10

This change fixes two bugs, in quantification and liveness. I made the changes
to the other files while trying to find them; they ought to be useful in
trying to find similar bugs in the future.

The compiler now bootstraps with agressive inlining enabled.

quantification:
	Fix a bug that switched two different accumulators of the same type
	when processing pragma_c_codes.

liveness:
	Fix a bug that could cause a variable to end up in both the post-death
	and post-birth set of the same goal.

options:
	Reenable inlining.

hlds_out, mercury_to_mercury:
	If -D v is given, include the number of each variable at the end of
	its name (e.g. Varname_20).

	The predicates involved (a few from mercury_to_mercury and many from
	hlds_out) now have an extra argument that says whether this should be
	done or not. (It is not done when printing clauses e.g. for .opt
	files.)

	The bug in quantification was causing the improper substitution of
	one variable for another, but both had the same name; such bugs would
	be very difficult to find without this change.

constraint, det_report, intermod, make_hlds, mercury_to_c, mode_debug,
mode_errors, module_qual, typecheck:
	Call predicates in hlds_out or mercury_to_mercury with the extra
	argument.

saved_vars:
	Thread the io__state through this module to allow debugging.

mercury_compile:
	Call saved_vars via its new interface.

	Fix an inadvertent use of an out-of-date ModuleInfo.

goal_util, hlds_goal:
	Minor formatting cleanup.

code_gen:
	Clean up the import sequence.

Estimated hours taken: 2.5

Switch from using a stack of store_maps in the code_info to govern what
goes where at the end of each branched structure to using the store map
fields of the goal expressions of those structures.

Fix variable names where they resembled the wrong kind of map(var, lval).

code_info:
	Remove the operations on stacks of store maps.
	Modify the generate_forced_saves and remake_with_store_map operations
	to take a store_map parameter.

	When making variables magically live, pick random unused variables
	to hold them, since we can no longer use the guidance of the top
	store map stack entry. This may lead to the generation of some
	excess move instructions at non-reachable points in the code;
	this will be fixed later.

code_gen:
	Remove the store map push and pop invocations.
	Modify the generate_forced_goal operation to take a store_map parameter.

code_exprn:
	Export a predicate for use by code_info.

middle_rec, disj_gen, ite_gen, switch_gen,
dense_switch, lookup_switch, string_switch, tag_switch:
	Pass the store map around to get it to invocations of the primitives
	in code_gen and code_info that now need it.

goal_util:
	Name apart the new follow_vars field in hlds__goal_infos.
	(This should have been in the change that introduced that field.)

common, constraint, cse_detection, det_analysis, dnf, excess, follow_code,
intermod, lambda, lco, liveness, make_hlds, mode_util, modes, polymorphism,
quantification, simplify, switch_detection, typecheck, unique_modes,
unused_args:
	Fix variable names.

follow_vars, store_alloc:
	Add comments.

Estimated hours taken: 5

options:
	Add a new option, --assume-gmake. Rename the existing option
	--optimize-constructor-recursion to --optimize-constructor-last-call,
	since it also affects last calls that are not recursive calls.

modules.m
	If --assume-gmake is set, exploit the capabilities of gmake
	to produce significantly smaller .dep files (about 10% the size
	of the ones we produced before for mercury_compile).

mercury_compile:
	Change --optimize-constructor-recursion to
	--optimize-constructor-last-call.

hlds_out:
	Clean up the way we produce HLDS dumps. The new algorithm eliminates
	lines containing nothing but white space or a single comma or dot
	in procedure definitions. It should also be easier to modify.

constraint, mode_errors:
	Use the new interface of a predicate in hlds_out.

livemap:
	Make a predicate more self-contained.

Estimated hours taken: 12

The main changes are

1	associating a name with the arguments of constructors

2	removing the follow_vars field from calls, higher-order calls
	and complicated unifications, since they are not used

3	merging the follow_vars and store_alloc passes, since they logically
	belong together

4	add a new module, lco, for detecting opportunities for last
	call optimization modulo constructor application; it won't
	actually apply the optimization until the mode system becomes
	expressive enough to handle it (this module detects 529 opportunities
	in the compiler and library)

5	make "-O3 --optimize-value-number" do the right thing; previously,
	it used not to apply value numbering because the vnrepeat option
	defaulted to zero

6	don't refer to .err2 files anymore; use .err instead.

prog_data:
	The list associated with each value of type "constructor" now
	contains not only the types of the arguments but their names as well.

equiv_type, hlds_data, hlds_out, make_hlds, mercury_to_{goedel,mercury},
mode_util, module_qual, shapes, type_util, unify_proc:
	Modify the traversal of type definitions to account for the names
	in the lists inside values of type "constructor".

prog_io:
	Parse argument names. An unrelated change is that we now
	check whether :- pred declarations give modes to some of their
	arguments but not to all, in which case we return an error.

hlds_goal:
	Remove the follow_vars field from calls, higher-order calls
	and complicated unifications.

*.m:
	Handle the new arities of calls, higher order calls and complicated
	unifications.

mercury_compile:
	Don't call follow_vars directly anymore, but do call lco if its option
	is set. Also flush the main output before a call to maybe_report_stats
	to prevent ugly output.

store_alloc:
	Call follow_vars directly.

follow_vars:
	Expose the initialization and traversal predicates for store_alloc.

lco:
	Find opportunities for last call optimization modulo constructor
	application.

passes_aux:
	Add a HLDS traversal type for lco.

optimize:
	Consider the vnrepeat count to be zero unless value numbering is on.

options:
	Set the default value of vnrepeat to 1.

modules:
	Don't refer to .err2 files.

5d3fc10571 - Inter-module optimization.
Estimated hours taken: 50

- Inter-module optimization.
Allows inlining and higher-order specialization across module boundaries.
Gives ~10% speed-up on the compiler compiling to C.

- The code to handle explicit type qualification.
The test to recognise a type qualification is semidet_fail'ed
until we work out which operator to use.

- Improved data structures in module_qual.m.
Also, module qualification of the modes of lambda expressions is now
done in make_hlds.m, since it is more convenient now that type
qualifications are module qualified there also.

* Type qualification and module qualifiers on higher-order predicate
constants and function calls still need to be implemented before this
will work on all programs.

* To create a version of a program using this optimization method,
add --intermodule-optimization to MCFLAGS, mmake change_clean,
mmake depend, then make as normal.

* mmake change_clean removes the executable, the .dep file and all
.cs and .os.

compiler/intermod.m
	Handle input and output of .opt files.

compiler/modules.m
	Added some new dependencies in the .d files for
	the .c and .opt files if inter-module optimization
	is being used.
	Also added .opt and .optdate to the list of things for
	mmake realclean to remove.
	Added a target, change_clean, which removes only those files
	necessary to force a rebuild using --intermodule-optimization.
	These are <module>, <module>.dep and all the .c, .o and .s files.

compiler/options.m
	Added options:
		--make-optimization-interface - make the .opt file.
		--intermodule-optimization - puts extra dependencies
			into .d files and turns on input of .opt files.

compiler/make_hlds.m
	Changes to give items from .opt files the correct import_status.
	Also, when matching pragma_c_code clauses to the declared modes
	of the predicates, expand and match on the initial and final insts
	of the argument modes, not the modes themselves, since items in
	.opt files have the modes expanded.
	Module qualify the modes of lambda expressions in unravel_unification
	rather than during mode analysis.
	Parse explicit type qualifications, and add these to the vartypes.
	At the moment this is disabled.

compiler/typecheck.m
	Get the head type params from the tvarset, not from the arg types,
	so that tvars in type qualifications are included.
	Added checks to prevent matching of predicates, functions and
	constructors which should not be visible to a clause.

compiler/module_qual.m
	Module qualify explicit type qualifications.
	More efficient data structures.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m
	Export some predicates. Make sure C code strings are properly
	quoted in the .opt files.

compiler/hlds_out.m
	Output function calls correctly. Alter hlds_out__write_goal to write
	out type qualifications on all functors if writing a .opt file.

compiler/hlds_pred.m
	Added a new import_status opt_imported for clauses and declarations
	read from a .opt file. Pred and func declarations read from a .opt
	file get an `opt_decl' import_status so that the compiler doesn't
	expect clauses for them and local preds can't use them.
	Also added import_status abstract_imported and abstract_exported
	to describe types which have only an abstract definition imported
	or exported.
	Added a field to clauses_info to store the map(var, type) from
	explicit type qualifications.
	Renamed pred_info_set_status/3 to pred_info_set_import_status/3 to
	be consistent with pred_info_import_status/2.

compiler/hlds_data.m
	Added an import_status field to the hlds__mode_defn and
	hlds__inst_defn so that intermod.m knows what has already
	been exported.

compiler/equiv_type.m
	Pass out the equiv_map and export a predicate used to
	expand type qualifications.

compiler/dead_proc_elim.m
	Remove non-optimized versions of opt_imported preds. All
	optimizations must give the optimized version an import_status
	of local.

compiler/code_util.m
	Changed code_util__make_local_entry_label so that `localcall's
	are used for recursive calls in exported predicates.

compiler/code_aux.m
	Changed code_aux__contains_only_builtins_2 so that it doesn't
	check for complicated unifies, since any time this is called,
	complicated unifies have either not been created (when called
	when writing the .opt files) or have been converted to calls
	(when called during inlining).

compiler/higher_order.m
	Make sure that the specialized versions get unique names.

compiler/mercury_compile.pp
	Add calls to intermod.m predicates.

compiler/bytecode_gen.m
	Bracketed some '->'/2 insts so that they can be parsed by SICStus.

compiler/peephole.m
	Replace computed_gotos where all the targets are the same with
	an unconditional goto.

compiler/notes/COMPILER_DESIGN
	Documented intermod.m.

library/list.m
	Added list__all_same/1, which is true if all elements of a list are
	identical. Also added list__last/2, which returns the final element
	of a list, failing on the empty list.

library/io.m
	Change the format specifier for io__write_float so that the decimal
	point is always output. Without this, the result may not be a valid
	Mercury floating point constant.

library/varset.m
	Add predicate varset__create_name_var_map/2 to create a mapping
	from variable name to variable id given a varset. This is used
	in processing type qualifications.

scripts/Mmake.rules
scripts/Mmake.vars.in
	Add suffixes, rules and options for .opt and .optdate.

scripts/mercury_update_interface.in
	Work-around for a problem with parallel gmake. mc --make-interface
	was being run twice in a row on the same module. The first call
	mercury_update_interface moves module.int.tmp to module.int,
	then the second can't find module.int.tmp. The work-around is to
	ignore the exit status of the mv.

Some cleaning up:

compiler/*.m
	Fixed some out of date comments about the handling of
	complicated_unify. Also commented some dead code to do
	with generation of code for complicated_unify.

compiler/modes.m
compiler/mode_info.m
	Moved code to module qualify modes of lambda expressions into
	make_hlds.
	Moved predicates resolve_pred_overloading and find_matching_pred_id
	into typecheck, renaming with a typecheck__ prefix, so that these
	can be called from intermod.m.

compiler/undef_modes.m
compiler/undef_types.m
	Removed - their functionality is now in module_qual.m, except
	for checking for looping equivalence types.

compiler/no_builtin.m
compiler/nit_builtin.m
	Removed - they were made useless (if they weren't already) by
	the removal of the --builtin-module option.

compiler/notes/AUTHORS

5d9e4158f7 Module qualification of types, insts and modes.
Estimated hours taken: 45

Module qualification of types, insts and modes.

Added a new interface file - <module>.int3. This contains the
short interface qualified as much as possible given the information
in the current module.

When producing the .int and .int2 files for a module, the compiler uses
the information in the .int3 files of modules imported in the interface
to fully module qualify all items. The .int2 file is just a fully
qualified version of the .int3 file. The .int3 file cannot be overwritten
by the fully qualified version in the .int2 file because then mmake would
not be able to tell when the interface files that depend on that .int3
file really need updating.

The --warn-interface-imports option can be used to check whether
a module imported in the interface really needs to be imported in
the interface.


compiler/module_qual.m
Module qualify all types, insts and modes. Also checks for modules
imported in the interface of a module that do not need to be.

compiler/modules.m
The .int file for a module now depends on the .int3 files of imported
modules. Added code to generate the make rule for the .int file in the
.d file. There is now a file .date2 which records the last time the
.int2 file was updated.
The .int3 files are made using the --make-short-interface option
introduced a few weeks ago.

compiler/options.m
Added option --warn-interface-imports to enable warning about interface
imports which need not be in the interface. This is off by default
because a lot of modules in the library import list.m when they only
need the type list, which is defined in mercury_builtin.m.
Removed option --builtin-module, since the mercury_builtin name is wired
into the compiler in a large number of places.

compiler/prog_util.m
Added a predicates construct_qualified_term/3 and construct_qualfied_term/4
which take a sym_name, a list of argument term and a context for the /4
version and give a :/2 term.

compiler/type_util.m
Modified type_to_type_id to handle qualified types. Also added predicates
construct_type/3 and construct_type/4 which take a sym_name and a list of
types and return a type by calling prog_util:construct_qualified_term.

compiler/modes.m
On the first iteration of mode analysis, module qualify the modes of
lambda expressions.

compiler/mode_info.m
Added field to mode_info used to decide whether or not to module qualify
lambda expressions.

compiler/mode_errors.m
Added dummy mode error for when module qualification fails so that mode
analysis will stop.
Added code to strip mercury_builtin qualifiers from error messages to
improve readability.

compiler/typecheck.m
Strip builtin qualifiers from error messages.

compiler/llds.m
compiler/llds_out.m
compiler/opt_util.m
compiler/opt_debug.m
Change the format of labels produced for the predicates to use the
qualified version of the type name.

compiler/mercury_compile.pp
Call module_qual__module_qualify_items and make_short_interface.
Remove references to undef_modes.m and undef_types.m

compiler/undef_modes.m
compiler/undef_types.m
Removed, since their functionality is now in module_qual.m.

compiler/prog_io.m
Changed to qualify the subjects of type, mode and inst declarations.

compiler/*.m
Changes to stop various parts of the compiler from throwing away
module qualifiers.
Qualified various mercury_builtin builtins, e.g. in, out, term etc.
where they are wired in to the compiler.

compiler/hlds_data.m
The mode_table and user_inst_table are now abstract types each
storing the {mode | inst}_id to hlds__{mode | inst}_defn maps
and a list of mode_ids or inst_ids. This was done to improve the
efficiency of module qualifying the modes of lambda expressions
during mode analysis.
module_info_optimize/2 now sorts the lists of ids.
The hlds_module interface to the mode and inst tables has not changed.

compiler/hlds_module.m
Added yet another predicate to search the predicate table.
predicate_table_search_pf_sym_arity searches for predicates or
functions matching the given sym_name, arity and pred_or_func.

compiler/higher_order.m
Changed calls to solutions/2 to list__filter/3. Eliminated unnecessary
requantification of goals.

compiler/unused_args.m
Improved abstraction slightly.

0e1e0b0b91 Implement recursive' and non_recursive' pragma c_code declarations.
Estimated hours taken: 4

Implement `recursive' and `non_recursive' pragma c_code declarations.
This allows the compiler to optimize cases when the C code
is known to not call Mercury code.  It's also necessary
to allow C code which modifies the hp register to work
(such code must be declared `non_recursive', otherwise
the registers will be saved and restored over it).
To make things bootstrap OK, the old pragma c_code declarations
default to `non_recursive'.

prog_data.m, hlds_goal.m:
	Add new field c_is_recursive to pragma c_code goals.

prog_io.m:
	Parse the new `recursive' and `non_recursive' pragma c_code
	declarations.

make_hlds.m:
	Pass the c_is_recursive field from the parse tree to the HLDS.

live_vars.m:
	For non-recursive C code, don't save variables on the stack.

code_gen.pp:
	For non-recursive C code, don't save variables on the stack,
	don't mark the succip as needing to be saved, and don't
	call save_registers() and restore_registers().

*.m:
	Change c_code/5 to c_code/6.

Estimated hours taken: 24

Treat higher-order predicate calls as a new sort of goal,
rather than as calls to the special predicate call/N, in order to
remove the fixed limit on the number of arguments and on the modes
for call/N.

Also, remove the restriction on output arguments preceding input arguments
in lambda expressions.

hlds_goal.m:
	Add new functor higher_order_call/6 to the hlds__goal type.

*.m:
	Handle new functor higher_order_call/6.

arg_info.m:
	Abstract things a bit more: the argument passing convention
	for a procedure may be affected by that procedure's types,
	modes, and code_model, as well as the arg_method.

follow_vars.m:
	Pass down the args_method, since it is now needed for figuring
	out the arg_info for unifications and higher-order calls.

follow_code.m:
	Treat complicated unifications in the same way as calls.

lambda.m:
	When creating lambda predicates, permute the arguments so
	that all input arguments come before all output arguments.

call_gen.m:
	When generating higher-order predicate calls, don't abort
	if outputs precede inputs; instead, generate code assuming
	that the called predicate's args have been permuted so that
	the inputs to come before all the outputs.

Estimated hours taken: 8

options.m:
	Rename branch_delay_slot to have_delay_slot.
	Set optimize_delay_slot in -O2 only if have_delay_slot was set earlier.
	This is possible now because the default optimization level is now
	set in mc.

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

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

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

prog_io:
	Moved the data type definitions to prog_data. (Even though prog_io.m
	is ten times the size of prog_data.m, the sizes of the .c files are
	not too dissimilar.)

Estimated hours taken: 10

hlds, hlds_module, hlds_pred, hlds_goal, hlds_data:
	Divided the old hlds.m into four files:

	hlds_module.m defines the data structures that deal with issues
	that are wider than a single predicate. These data structures are
	the module_info structure, dependency_info, the predicate table
	and the shape table.

	hlds_pred.m defined pred_info and proc_info, pred_id and proc_id.

	hlds_goal.m defines hlds__goal, hlds__goal_{expr,info}, and the
	other parts of goal structures.

	hlsd_data.m defines the HLDS types that deal with issues related
	to data and its representation: function symbols, types, insts, modes.
	It also defines the types related to determinism.

	hlds.m is now an empty module. I have not removed it from CVS
	because we may need the name hlds.m again, and CVS does not like
	the reuse of a name once removed.

other modules:
	Import the necessary part of hlds.

det_analysis:
	Define a type that was up to now improperly defined in hlds.m.

prog_io:
	Move the definition of type determinism to hlds_data. This decision
	may need to be revisited when prog_io is broken up.

dnf, lambda:
	Simplify the task of defining predicates.

llds:
	Fix some comments.

mercury_compile:
	If the option -d all is given, dump all HLDS stages.

shape, unused_args:
	Fix formatting.

3b36da6e77 Implement functional syntax. You can now use `:- func' in a similar manner
Estimated hours taken: 12

Implement functional syntax.  You can now use `:- func' in a similar manner
to `:- pred'.  For example, `:- func foo(int, int) = int.' declares a function,
and `:- mode foo(in, in) = out.' defines a mode for it.  You can write clauses
for functions, such as `foo(X, Y) = Z :- Z is 2*X + Y.'  Any term in the
head or body of a clause can be a function call, e.g. `bar(X, Y, foo(X, Y))'.

Until we have implemented a proper Mercury debugger, this syntax
should not be used (except that I might reimplement the functions
provided by Prolog's is/2 predicate using this syntax, rather than
the current special-case hack in the parser).

prog_io.m:
	Add syntax for declaring and defining functions.
	Disallow the use of `=' to define modes, as in `:- mode foo = bar.'
	(Instead, you should use `::'.  `==' is also allowed.)
	Also, use higher-order predicates to simplify some of the rather
	repetitious parsing code.

mercury_to_mercury.m, mercury_to_goedel.m, make_hlds.m, modules.m:
	Handle new functional syntax.

typecheck.m:
	Add support for functions, function types such as `func(int) = int',
	and currying.  (But there's currently no equivalent to call/N for
	functions, so function types and currying aren't very useful yet.)

undef_types.m:
	Add support for function types.

modes.m:
	Convert function calls into predicate calls.
	(This must be done after typechecking is complete,
	so I put it in mode analysis.)

hlds.m:
	Add new field `pred_or_func' to the pred_info.

hlds_out.m:
	Print out the `pred_or_func' field.

higher_order.m, unused_args.m, lambda.m, dnf.m:
	Pass extra pred_or_func argument to pred_info_init to specify that
	the thing being created is a predicate, not a function.

constraint.m, dependency_graph.m, hlds_out.m:
	`mercury_output_mode_subdecl' has been renamed
	`mercury_output_pred_mode_subdecl'.

prog_util.m:
	Add new predicate split_type_and_mode/3.

llds.m:
	Print out
		/* code for predicate '*'/3 in mode 0 */
	rather than
		/* code for predicate */3 in mode 0 */
	to avoid a syntax error in the generated C code.

3e4a019dcc Fix the pass structure, and start using a loose sequence of stage
Estimated hours taken: 8

mercury_compile:
	Fix the pass structure, and start using a loose sequence of stage
	numbers, to make it easier to add new stages without having to fiddle
	stage numbers.

	THIS DOES MEAN THAT ALL STAGE NUMBERS HAVE CHANGED NOW.

	The stage number assignment scheme assigns 1 to 25 to the front end,
	26 to 50 to the middle passes, and 51 to 99 to the back end.

hlds:
	We had two types that combined a pred_id and a proc_id. One,
	pred_proc_id, used a simple pair; the other, procedure_id, had a better
	definition using a specific function symbol but was not used
	anywhere else. I standardized on the name pred_proc_id, but using the
	definition with a dedicated function symbol (proc).

	I also defined a type pred_proc_list as a list of pred_proc_id.

	To prepare for memoing, I added a new field to pred_info, which is
	a list of markers, each requesting a specific transformation on the
	predicate or indicating that the transformation has been done.
	The inline request is now represented using such a marker. However,
	the interface is backwards compatible.

constraint, dead_proc_elim, dependency_graph, det_analysis, det_report,
higher_order, unused_args:
	Changes to conform to the new definition of pred_proc_id.
	In two places removed definitions of predproclist, whose
	equivalent pred_proc_list is now defined in hlds.m.

hlds_out, make_hlds, mercury_to_mercury, prog_io:
	Add code to handle memo pragma declarations, using whenever possible
	a version of the existing code for handling inline requests, but
	generalized for handling any pragma that sets a marker.

switch_detection:
	Rename the type cases_list to sorted_cases_list. This avoids a
	name clash that creates a duplicate label and therefore screws up
	the profiler, and is a better name anyway.

options:
	Add a new option, --opt-space, that turns on optimizations that save
	space and turns off optimizations that squander space.

handle_options:
	Pass the special option handler to getopt.

frameopt:
	For each labelled code sequence that tears down the stack frame but
	does not use it, we used to create a parallel code sequence that omits
	the teardown code, for use by gotos from locations that did not have
	a stack frame. However, peepholing may discover that it is better
	not to tear down the stack frame at the site of the goto after all,
	so we need the original code sequence as well.

	The current change fixes a bug that occurs if the original code
	sequence is modified by another part of frameopt to omit teardown
	code. In such cases, which are produced by --pred-value-number,
	peepholing redirects a goto to a code sequence that it thinks tears
	down the stack frame, but actually doesn't.

	With this change, --pred-value-number now works.

llds:
	Fix typos in a comment.

passes_aux:

	to passes_aux.

constraint, det_analysis, make_hlds, modules, optimize, undef_types:
	Import and refer to passes_aux.

mercury_compile, handle_options:
	Remove the predicates moved to passes_aux. Also move the option
	postprocessing code to a new module, handle_options.

	Another change is that we stop after syntax errors if the new option
	--halt-at-syntax-errors is set.

handle_option:
	New module for option postprocessing.

options:
	Remove the option lookup predicates, which were obsolete.
	Add new options --args, --halt-at-syntax-errors and --opt-level.
	Add a special handler for --opt-level.

lookup_switch:
	Call getopt to look up options, not options.

value_number, vn_block:
	Extended basic blocks with more than one incr_hp pose a problem for
	value numbering when using boehm_gc, because value numbering coalesces
	all the allocations into one. Previously we did not optimize such
	sequences. I modified value numbering to divide up such blocks into
	smaller blocks, each with at most one incr_hp, and optimize these.
	At the moment, some of these blocks contain deeply nested field
	refs, which value numbering is very slow to handle; code_exprn
	should be modified to fix these.

value_number:
	Rename usemap to useset, since this is more accurate.
	Fixed a bug in --pred-value-number, which manifested itself as
	the generation of duplicate labels.

labelopt:
	Rename usemap to useset, since this is more accurate.

The reason for undoing these changes was to minimize incompatibilities
with 0.4 (and besides, the changes were not a really good idea in the first
place).

I also moved `bool' to a separate module.
The main reason for that change is to ensure that the `__' prefix is
only used when it genuinely represents a module qualifier.

b905b2f4d8 Added an extra argument to call, which contains a maybe of the unification
context of the unification from which call was made. We we use this to generate
significantly better error messages. (There should be no more messages of the
form "call to __Unify__(blah blah blah) can fail".) Most of the files are
changed just to reflect this.

An unrelated change in det_analysis is that we now ensure the absence of
cycles by modifying the new inferred determinism in the light of the old
one, ensuring that any changes are monotonic.

In hlds_out, inhibit the printing of pseudo-imported predicates (unifications)
since nobody cares about them except sometimes Fergus.
