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

Merge in the changes from the existential_types_2 branch.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6d88f700a7 Fix a couple of bugs related to pruning of impure goals with no output
Estimated hours taken: 1.5

Fix a couple of bugs related to pruning of impure goals with no output
variables.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Fix a bug: the compiler was automatically inserting pruning
	across impure goals with no output variables.  That should
	happen only for pure or semipure goals.  To prevent pruning
	in those cases, I changed it so that impure goals with no
	output variables are not considered single-solution contexts.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Document the above-mentioned change.

compiler/clause_to_proc.m:
	Fix a bug: when converting a bunch of clauses into a disjunction,
	clause_to_proc.m was not computing the proper purity annotation
	on the goal_info for the disjunction.

tests/hard_coded/Mmakefile:
tests/hard_coded/impure_prune.m:
tests/hard_coded/impure_prune.exp:
	A test case for the above-mentioned changes to det_analysis.m
	and clause_to_proc.m.

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

Add support for nested modules.

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

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

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

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

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

NEWS:
	Mention that we support nested modules.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Document nested modules.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

14bc9b8f70 Bug fixes for module qualified cons_ids.
Estimated hours: 8

Bug fixes for module qualified cons_ids.

Improve the compilation time of modules with lots of user_defined insts.
(Compilation of tree234.m with the unique tree skeleton modes enabled is
still way too slow).

compiler/mode_util.m
	In propagate_type_info_into_modes and the predicates it calls, avoid
	finding the constructors for a type and substituting the argument
	types.

compiler/hlds_pred.m
	Add a new field to the proc_info, maybe_declared_argmodes which
	holds the declared arg_modes for use in .opt files and error messages.

compiler/typecheck.m
	Call propagate_type_info_into_modes from here to avoid calling it
	many times throughout mode analysis. This does not cause a
	substantial performance improvement, but reduces confusion
	over where everything should be module qualified.
	This also fixes a bug with the no_tag optimisation reported by
	Mark Brown. A runtime abort occurred because a constructor in a bound
	inst was not being module qualified which confused mode_to_arg_mode
	into giving the argument an arg_mode of top_unused.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m
	Call propagate_type_info_mode_list for modes of lambda predicates.

compiler/modes.m
compiler/modecheck_call.m
compiler/unique_modes.m
	Don't call propagate_type_info_mode_list since that has
	already been done in typecheck.m.

compiler/intermod.m
	Write out the declared arg_modes, since these don't contain
	constructs such $typed_inst which the parser doesn't handle.

compiler/clause_to_proc.m
compiler/unify_proc.m
	Fill in the declared_argmodes field in proc_infos.

compiler/type_util.m

	s/dupelim__main/dupelim_main/g
	The reason for this change is that a program can only
	have one main/2 predicate.

compiler/prog_io_dcg.m:
	Remove the old "temporary hack" to strip off and ignore
	io__gc_call/1, since the new handling of `__' broke it.
	It was only useful for optimizing NU-Prolog performance,
	which we don't care about anymore.

	Ensure that we properly handle the special hacks in mercury_builtin
	where predicates from other modules (e.g. term__context_init)
	are defined in mercury_builtin because they are needed for
	type_to_term and term_to_type.  llds_out.m: don't put
	`mercury_builtin' in the mangled names for those symbols.
	base_type_info.m: handle types whose status is "imported"

3243dbe238 The only significant change in this checkin is that liveness.m now
Estimated hours taken: 0.5

The only significant change in this checkin is that liveness.m now
tries to compute the best resume_locs for negations (it already did
for if-then-elses and disjunctions; leaving out negations was an
oversight in my earlier checkin).

The other changes are only syntactic:

I have removed the cont-lives and nondet-lives field from goal_info,
since they are not used anymore.

I have replaced the nondet-lives field in code_info, which is not used
anymore, with a follow-vars field, which is not used yet (but will be).

Some of the "read" access predicates in hlds_goal did not have "get" in
their name; I added them.

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
	Updated student email addresses.

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.

0ac3ffa304 Four loosely related changes to improve mode inference.
Estimated hours taken: 12

Four loosely related changes to improve mode inference.

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

(1) Fix a problem with inference of unique modes.

Previously it was sufficient to just look at the final insts of the
mode and check whether they were `clobbered' or not in order to tell
which arguments will be dead on exit from this procedure.  However,
that doesn't work for inferred modes, where the final inst will
initially be `not_reached'.  Previously mode inference just assumed that
all arguments to a predicate were live, but that prevents it from being
able to infer `di' modes.  So I've added a new field to the proc_info
to record which arguments are required to be dead on exit.
I've also changed mode analysis so that it checks that such
arguments really are dead.  This means you can declare both `di' and
`ui' modes of a predicate, and so long as you declare the `di' one
first, mode checking should handle this overloading.  It also means
that errors such as passing a variable which is live to a procedure with
a `di' mode argument are caught earlier, with a potentially better
error message; mode checking may also be able to reorder such calls,
so that the `di' mode pred is scheduled last.  Mode inference now
notices if an argument is dead, and if so will try infering a `di'
mode.

hlds_pred.m:
	Add a new field to the proc_info, the `maybe_arglives', of type
	`maybe(list(is_live))'.  If set, this records whether or not the
	arguments are required to be dead after the procedure or not.
	Add an access predicate which checks whether this is set,
	and returns either the value set, or if no value special value
	is set, looks up a value based on the modes by calling get_arg_lives
	from mode_util.m.

make_hlds.m:
	Add a MaybeArgLives parameter to add_new_pred.
	(Also change the error messages about pragmas to reflect
	the new pragma syntax.)

clause_to_proc.m, unify_proc.m:
	Pass MaybeArgLives = no to add_new_pred.

modes.m, mode_errors.m:
	Use the new arglives field.  When mode-checking a call (or
	higher-order call), check that all the variables which are
	required to be dead really are dead.

unique_modes.m:
	Use the new arglives field.

mode_util.m:
	Add predicate `get_arg_lives', for use by modes.m and hlds_pred.m.

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

(2) Fix a problem with mode inference looping.

It was checking whether a fixpoint had been reached by comparing the
(un-normalised) inferred final insts with the previously recorded final
insts (which had been normalised).  Instead, it has to normalise the
insts before the comparison.

modes.m:
	When doing mode analysis of an inferred mode, normalise the insts
	before checking whether they've changed, rather than vice versa.

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

(3) Fix a problem with the computation of liveness for mode-analysis
of if-then-elses that was detected when I tried to bootcheck the above
changes.

modes.m, unique_modes.m:
	When mode-checking if-then-elses, the variables in the "else"
	should not be considered live when checking the condition.
	(They're nondet-live, but not live with regard to forward execution.)

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

(4) Reduce the occurrence of mode inference inferring spurious
`in(not_reached)' modes.

modes.m:
	If the top-level inst of a variable becomes `not_reached', set
	the whole instmap to `unreachable'.

8496c71b04 Add preliminary support for mode inference.
Estimated hours taken: 24

Add preliminary support for mode inference.

hlds_pred.m, hlds_out.m:
	Add a new pred marker `infer_modes'.

make_hlds.m:
	If there are no declared modes for a predicate,
	set the `infer_modes' marker in the pred_info.

modes.m:
	Implement mode inference.

	When we see a call to a predicate with the `infer_modes' marker
	set, then if the call does not match any of the modes we've
	already inferred for the predicate, create a new inferred mode;
	the initial insts are set to the normalised argument insts, and
	the final insts are initially set to not_reached.  When
	analysing such a predicate, rather than checking whether the
	inferred final insts match the declared final insts, just
	replace the old final insts with the normalised version of the
	newly inferred insts.  Change the top-level to repeat mode
	analysis until a fixpoint is reached.  We need to "normalise"
	insts to a bounded approximation avoid non-termination due to
	infinite expansion.

	Also fix a bug which meant that using `inst constrained == any.'
	didn't work - the checks for `any' weren't calling `inst_expand'.

mode_util.m:
	Change the predicates `inst_is_ground', `inst_is_unique', etc.
	so that they consider `not_reached' insts to satisfy the
	condition.

mode_errors.m:
	Change the message for predicates with no mode declaration.
	Add code for printing out inferred mode declarations.

clause_to_proc.m:
	Add a new predicate copy_module_clauses_to_procs
	to call copy_clauses_to_procs for a list of pred_ids.
	We call this from modes.m at the start of each fixpoint iteration.

ca73a1aa5d Fix a bug in the implementation of default modes for functions:
Estimated hours taken: 3

Fix a bug in the implementation of default modes for functions:
default modes were only being added for functions in the current
module, not for imported functions.

Also, allow pragma declarations to precede the pred or func declaration
that they reference.

clause_to_proc.m:
	Add a predicate maybe_add_default_modes to call maybe_add_default_mode
	for each pred_id in a list.

make_hlds.m:
	Move the processing of pragma declarations from the first pass
	to the second pass.  Add code in the second pass to call
	maybe_add_default_modes for the predicates matching each
	function declaration.  Rename some predicates to better reflect
	their modified purpose.

typecheck.m:
	Remove the call to maybe_add_default_mode, since it is now
	done in make_hlds.m.

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.)

	Add a new option, --branch-delay-slot, intended for use by mc on
	the basis of the configuattion script. It says whether the machine

	The setting of option should affect whether we set
	--optimize-delay-slots at -O2, but this doesn't work yet.

hlds_goal:
	Add an extra field to hold follow_vars infromation to disjunctions,
	switches and if-then-elses. I intend to use this information to
	generate better code.

2833bfffb7 Divided the old hlds.m into four files:
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.

details of how it's done.

hlds.m:
	Add new export statuses `pseudo_imported' and `pseudo_exported'
	to handle unification predicates, which can now have complicated
	modes.

code_gen.pp, code_info.m, common.m, constraint.m, cse_detection.m,
follow_code.m, follow_vars.m, hlds_out.m, inlining.m, live_vars,
make_hlds.m, mercury_compile.pp, modes.m, store_alloc.m,
switch_detection.m:
	Handle pseudo_imported predicates.

modes.m, constraint.m:
	Change modecheck to return an updated module_info, since
	modechecking may insert new entries into the unify_requests
	queue in the module_info.  Make sure that modechecking
	never inserts requests into the unify_requests queue
	for code that has mode errors (or needs rescheduling).

call_gen.m, polymorphism.m:
	Move duplicated code into unify_proc.m.

clause_to_proc.m:
	Add new predicate clauses_to_proc for use by unify_proc.m.

unify_proc.m:
	Implement complicated unifications with complicated modes.
