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.

354ba90db6 Making changes to type_ctor_infos for the builtin types array and univ
Estimated hours taken: 2

Making changes to type_ctor_infos for the builtin types array and univ
is much easier if we can simply change their type_ctor_info by hand
rather than detecting them as simple cases.  They already have their
type_ctor_functors and layouts defined by hand anyway.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Turn off the generation of type_ctor_info for the types array:array
	and std_util:univ.

runtime/mercury_bootstrap.c:
	Put type_ctor_infos for these types into the bootstrapping file.
	They are not needed (or wanted) for stage 1, but needed for stage 2.
	We rename the functors and layouts slightly so that the stage 2
	linking doesn't have them multiply defined.

79dcbbef15 User-guided type specialization.
Estimated hours taken: 60

User-guided type specialization.

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
compiler/modules.m:
compiler/module_qual.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Handle `:- pragma type_spec'.

compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Factor out some common code to parse predicate names with arguments.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Added a field to the module_sub_info to hold information about
	user-requested type specializations, filled in by make_hlds.m
	and not used by anything after higher_order.m.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	For each `:- pragma type_spec' declaration, introduce a new predicate
	which just calls the predicate to be specialized with the
	specified argument types. This forces higher_order.m to produce
	the specialized versions.

compiler/higher_order.m:
	Process the user-requested type specializations first to ensure
	that they get the correct names.
	Allow partial matches against user-specified versions, e.g.
		map__lookup(map(int, list(int)), int, list(int)) matches
		map__lookup(map(int, V), int, V).
	Perform specialization where a typeclass constraint matches a
	known instance, but the construction of the typeclass_info is
	done in the calling module.
	Give slightly more informative progress messages.

compiler/dead_proc_elim.m:
	Remove specializations for dead procedures.

compiler/prog_io_util.m:
	Change the definition of the `maybe1' and `maybe_functor' types
	to avoid the need for copying to convert between `maybe1'
	and `maybe1(generic)'.
	Changed the interface of `make_pred_name_with_context' to allow
	creation of predicate names for type specializations which describe
	the type substitution.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
	Make the specification of pragma declarations in error
	messages consistent. (There are probably some more to
	be fixed elsewhere for termination and tabling).

compiler/intermod.m:
	Write type specialization pragmas for predicates declared
	in `.opt' files.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Export `mercury_output_item' for use by intermod.m.

compiler/options.m:
	Add an option `--user-guided-type-specialization' enabled
	with `-O2' or higher.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	`--type-specialization' implies `--user-guided-type-specialization'.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add predicates to construct constants. These are duplicated
	in several other places, I'll fix that as a separate change.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Added functions `int_type/0', `string_type/0', `float_type/0'
	and `char_type/0' which return the builtin types.
	These are duplicated in several other places,
	I'll fix that as a separate change.

library/private_builtin.m:
	Added `instance_constraint_from_typeclass_info/3' to extract
	the typeclass_infos for a constraint on an instance declaration.
	This is useful for specializing class method calls.
	Added `thread_safe' to various `:- pragma c_code's.
	Added `:- pragma inline' declarations for `builtin_compare_*', which
	are important for user-guided type specialization. (`builtin_unify_*'
	are simple enough to go in the `.opt' files automatically).

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	`instance_constraint_from_typeclass_info/3' does not need type_infos.
	Add `instance_constraint_from_typeclass_info/3' to the
	list of `typeclass_info_manipulator's which higher_order.m
	can interpret.

During the writing of the RTTI paper, we decided that type_ctor_info
was a much better name than base_type_info.

Rename base_type* as type_ctor*, except we don't rename the modules

18430aaef1 Aditi compilation.
Estimated hours taken: 1200

Aditi compilation.

compiler/options.m:
	The documentation for these is commented out because the Aditi
	system is not currently useful to the general public.
	--aditi: enable Aditi compilation.
	--dump-rl: write the intermediate RL to `<module>.rl_dump'.
	--dump-rl-bytecode: write a text version of the bytecodes
		to `<module>.rla'
	--aditi-only: don't produce a `.c' file.
	--filenames-from-stdin: accept a list of filenames to compile
		from stdin. This is used by the query shell.
	--optimize-rl, --optimize-rl-cse, --optimize-rl-invariants,
	--optimize-rl-index, --detect-rl-streams:
		Options to control RL optimization passes.
	--aditi-user:
		Default owner of any Aditi procedures,
		defaults to $USER or "guest".
	--generate-schemas:
		write schemas for base relations to `<module>'.base_schema
		and schemas for derived relations to `<module>'.derived_schema.
		This is used by the query shell.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Handle the default for --aditi-user.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/prog_io_pragma.m:
compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Add some Aditi pragma declarations - `aditi', `supp_magic', `context',
	`naive', `psn' (predicate semi-naive), `aditi_memo', `aditi_no_memo',
	`base_relation', `owner' and `index'.
	Separate out code to parse a predicate name and arity.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add predicates to identify Aditi procedures.
	Added markers `generate_inline' and `aditi_interface', which
	are used internally for Aditi code generation.
	Add an `owner' field to pred_infos, which is used for database
	security checks.
	Add a field to pred_infos to hold the list of indexes for a base
	relation.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Some pragmas must be exported if the corresponding predicates
	are exported, check this.
	Make sure stratification of Aditi procedures is checked.
	Predicates with a mode declaration but no type declaration
	are no longer assumed to be local.
	Set the `do_aditi_compilation' field of the module_info if there
	are any local Aditi procedures or base relations.
	Check that `--aditi' is set if Aditi compilation is required.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	Check that every Aditi predicate has an `aditi__state' argument,
	which is used to ensure sequencing of updates and that Aditi
	procedures are only called within transactions.

compiler/dnf.m:
	Changed the definition of disjunctive normal form slightly
	so that a call followed by some atomic goals not including
	any database calls is considered atomic. magic.m can handle
	this kind of goal, and it results in more efficient RL code.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
compiler/dependency_graph.m:
	Added dependency_graph__get_scc_entry_points which finds
	the procedures in an SCC which could be called from outside.
	Added a new field to the dependency_info, the
	aditi_dependency_ordering. This contains all Aditi SCCs of
	the original program, with multiple SCCs merged where
	possible to improve the effectiveness of differential evaluation
	and the low level RL optimizations.

compiler/hlds_module.m:
	Add a field to record whether there are any local Aditi procedures
	in the current module.
	Added versions of module_info_pred_proc_info and
	module_info_set_pred_proc_info which take a pred_proc_id,
	not a separate pred_id and proc_id.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
compiler/lambda.m:
	Make sure that predicates created for closures in Aditi procedures
	have the correct markers.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Added goal_util__switch_to_disjunction,
	goal_util__case_to_disjunct (factored out from simplify.m)
	and goal_util__if_then_else_to_disjunction. These are
	require because supplementary magic sets can't handle
	if-then-elses or switches.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Added type_is_aditi_state/1.

compiler/mode_util.m:
	Added partition_args/5 which partitions a list of arguments
	into inputs and others.

compiler/inlining.m:
	Don't inline memoed procedures.
	Don't inline Aditi procedures into non-Aditi procedures.

compiler/intermod.m:
	Handle Aditi markers.
	Clean up handling of markers which should not appear in `.opt' files.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Export a slightly different interface for use by magic.m.
	Remove explicit quantifications where possible.
	Merge multiple nested quantifications.
	Don't report infinite recursion warnings for Aditi procedures.

compiler/prog_out.m:
	Generalised the code to output a module list to write any list.

compiler/code_gen.m:
compiler/arg_info.m:
	Don't process Aditi procedures.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Call magic.m and rl_gen.m.
	Don't perform the low-level annotation passes on Aditi procedures.
	Remove calls to constraint.m - sometime soon a rewritten version
	will be called directly from deforestation.

compiler/passes_aux.m:
	Add predicates to process only non-Aditi procedures.

compiler/llds.m:
compiler/llds_out.m:
	Added new `code_addr' enum members, do_{det,semidet,nondet}_aditi_call,
	which are defined in extras/aditi/aditi.m.

compiler/call_gen.m:
	Handle generation of do_*_aditi_call.

compiler/llds_out.m:
	Write the RL code for the module as a constant char array
	in the `.c' file.

compiler/term_errors.m:
compiler/error_util.m:
	Move code to describe predicates into error_util.m
	Allow the caller to explicitly add line breaks.
	Added error_util:list_to_pieces to format a list of
	strings.
	Reordered some arguments for currying.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Don't try to print clauses if there are none.

runtime/mercury_init.h:
util/mkinit.c:
scripts/c2init.in:
	Added a function `mercury__load_aditi_rl_code()' to the generated
	`<module>_init.c' file which throws all the RL code for the program
	at the database. This should be called at connection time by
	`aditi__connect'.
	Added an option `--aditi' which controls the output
	`mercury__load_aditi_rl_code()'.

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.

Estimated hours taken: 3

Define the types typeclass_info and base_typeclass_info by hand,
so that they can be recognized as special cases in the runtime
system.

At the same time, move the definitions of type_info and base_type_info
back into private_builtin.m.  They had been placed in
runtime/mercury_bootstrap for bootstrapping purposes, but have now been
bootstrapped (and will be replaced by typeclass_info which will undergo
the same process).

	Add typeclass_info to the special cases.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Turn off base_type_info generation for typeclass_info
	and base_typeclass_info.

library/private_builtin.m:
	Move the definitions of type_info and base_type_info to here.

f05dc52d86 Fix a bug in the renaming of tvars in type class constraint proofs, and
Estimated hours taken: 20

Fix a bug in the renaming of tvars in type class constraint proofs, and
generally clean up the handling of variable renaming in polymorphism.m.

Change the representation of constraint_proofs to only hold the number of an
instance declaration and not the hlds_instance_defn itself. This means that
polymorphism must look up the instance table to get at hlds_instance_defn,
then calculate the appropriate renamings and substitutions. The rationale
behind this is that the proofs for the superclasses, stored in the
hlds_instance_defn, also need to be renamed. However, we can't just rename
them during typecheck.m because they may not contain proofs for *all* their
ancestors --- that would require topologically sorting the instance defns
before check_typeclass.m.

Also delete the code which attempts to specialise class method calls because
Simon's recent change does this anyway.

hlds_data.m:
        Change the constraint_proof representation to only hold instance
        numbers, not definitions.
polymorphism.m:
        When applying an instance decl, look it up in the instance table
        rather than trying to use the half-renamed one in the proof.

        Also, rather than trying to pass down a renaming substution into
        polymorphism__make_typeclass_info_var, rename everything before
        calling it.
type_util.m:
        Add two new predicates: apply_subst_to_constraint_proofs and
        apply_rec_subst_to_constraint_proofs.
typecheck.m:
        Only store the instance number in the proof.

3e244090d7 Rework the handling of types in higher_order.m.
Estimated hours taken: 50

Rework the handling of types in higher_order.m.
- Fix bugs in higher_order.m that stopped it working with --typeinfo-liveness.
- Perform type and typeclass specialisation.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Previously the type of typeclass_infos variables did not contain
	any information about the constraint about which the variable contains
	information. Now the type of a typeclass_info is
	`private_builtin:typeclass_info(
		private_builtin:constraint([ClassName, ConstrainedTypes]))'.
	This allows predicates such as type_list_subsumes to check that
	the class constraints match.
	Note that `private_builtin:constraint' has no declaration, so
	a lookup in the type definition map will fail. That's OK, because
	type_to_type_id will fail on it, so it will be treated as a type
	variable by any code which doesn't manipulate types directly.
	Added polymorphism__typeclass_info_class_constraint to get the
	class_constraint from a typeclass_info's type. This isn't used yet.

	Also, fix a bug in extract_type_info: an entry in the typeinfo_var_map
	was being overwritten using an entry from a dummy typevarset. Actually
	the optimization to overwrite the location of the type_info after
	extracting it from a typeclass_info was wrong because the type_info
	won't be in that location in other branches.

compiler/higher_order.m:
	Rework the handling of type substitutions. Now the types of the
	called procedure are `inlined' into the calling procedure, rather
	than building up the types of the specialised version using the
	higher-order arguments. The advantage of this is that the code is
	a bit simpler and handles extra type_infos properly. The disadvantage
	is that the argument types for specialised versions may be more
	specific than they need to be, so in some cases more specialised
	versions will be created than before.
	Also, don't actually rebuild the higher-order terms in the specialised
	versions - just pass the terms through in case they are needed.
	Handle the extra typeinfos required for --typeinfo-liveness.
	Specialize calls to unify/2, index/2 and compare/3.
	Specialize class_method_calls.
	Specialize calls to the predicates in private_builtin.m which

6455e041cb Merge in the changes from the existential types branch,
Estimated hours taken: 6
	(plus another 80 or so already recorded for
	my commits on the existential_types branch)

Merge in the changes from the existential types branch,
and make some modifications to address dgj's code review comments.

These changes add support for existentially quantified type variables
and type class constraints on functions and predicates.
(Existential data types, however, are not supported -- see below.)

Existentially quantified type variables are introduced with
an explicit `some [T]', e.g. `:- some [T] pred foo(T)'.
Existentially quantified type class constraints are introduced
with `&' instead of `<=', e.g. `:- some [T] (pred foo(T) & ord(T))'.

There's still several limitations:

0.  XXX It's not yet documented in the language reference manual.

1.  XXX It doesn't do any mode checking or mode reordering.
    If you write code that uses existentially typed procedures in the
    wrong order, then you'll get an internal error in polymorphism.m
    or in the code generator.  (Cases where a type_info has no
    producer at all are caught by the check for unbound type
    variables in post_typecheck.m.)

    To support this, we need to change things so that polymorphism.m
    gets invoked before mode checking.

2.  Using `in' modes on arguments of existential type won't work.
    If you try, you will get a compile error.

    It would be nice to extend things to allow this kind of
    "implied mode" for type_infos, where an existential type
    becomes a universal type if some value of that type is
    input.  Supporting this would require first fixing
    limitation 1 (described above) and then

3.  There's no support for `pragma c_code' for procedures
    with existential type class constraints.
    (In fact, there's not really any support for `pragma c_code'
    for procedures with universal type class constraints either --
    the C code has no way of getting access to the type class info.)

4.  XXX Taking the address of something which is existentially typed
    should be illegal, but we don't check this.

In addition, these changes in this batch make a start towards allowing
existentially typed data types.  The compiler now accepts existential
quantifiers and type class constraints on type definitions, and type
checks them accordingly (assuming all functor occurrences are
deconstructors, not constructors -- see limitation 2 above).  But
there's no special handling for them in polymorphism.m, so if you try
to use them, it will abort with an internal error.

The changes also includes fixes for a couple of bugs in typechecking
and polymorphism that I discovered while making the above changes,
and an improvement to the error reporting from typecheck.m in one case.
Those changes are listed separately below.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add a new type `class_constraints', which holds two different
	lists of constraints, namely the existentially quantified constraints
	and the universally quantified ones.
	Add a new field to the parse tree representation of pred and
	func declarations to hold a list of the existentially quantified
	type variables, and change the `list(class_constraint)' into
	`class_constraints' so that we can store existential constraints too.
	Add new fields to the `constructor' data type (formerly just a pair)
	to hold the existentially quantified type variables and
	type class constraints.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add several new fields to the pred_info:
	  - a list of the existentially quantified type variables;
	  - a list of the "HeadTypeParams": type variables which
	    cannot be bound by this predicate (i.e. those whose type_infos
	    come from this pred's caller or are returned from
	    other preds called by this one);
	  - and a list of unsatisfied type class constraints.
	Add a predicate pred_info_get_univ_quant_tvars to compute the
	universally quantified type variables.
	Change the pred constraints field from `list(class_constraint)'
	to `class_constraints' so that it can hold existential constraints too.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add new fields to hlds_cons_defn to hold the existentially
	quantified type variables and type class constraints.

compiler/*.m:
	Minor changes to reflect the above-mentioned data structure
	changes in prog_data.m, hlds_pred.m, and hlds_data.m.

compiler/prog_io.m:
	Add code to parse the new constructs.

	Also rewrite the code for parsing purity specifiers,
	type quantifiers and type class constraints, using basically
	the method suggested by Peter Schachte: treat these as
	"declaration attributes", and have parse_decl strip off
	all the declaration attributes into a seperate list and
	then pass that list to process_decl, which for each different
	kind of declaration processes the attributes which are
	appropriate for that declaration and then calls check_no_attributes
	to ensure that there were no inappropriate attributes.

	The purpose of this rewrite was to allow it to handle the new
	constructs properly, and to avoid unnecessary code duplication.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Add code to pretty-print the new constructs.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
	Copy the new fields in the parse tree into the
	corresponding new fields in the pred_info.
	Add code to check for various misuses of quantifiers.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Print out the new fields in the pred_info (except the
	unsatisfied type class constraints -- if these are non-empty,
	post_typecheck.m will print them out in the error message).
	When printing out types, pass the AppendVarNums parameter down,
	so that HLDS dumps will distinguish between different type
	variables that have the same name.
	Delete hlds_out__write_constructor, since it was doing exactly
	the same thing as mercury__output_ctor.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Lots of changes to handle existential types and existential
	type class constraints.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	When checking for unbound type variables,
	use the value of HeadTypeParams from the pred_info.

compiler/type_util.m:
	Delete `type_and_constraint_list_matches_exactly', since it was not
	used.  Add various `apply_variable_renaming_to_*' predicates for
	renaming constraints.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Lots of changes to handle existential types and existential
	type class constraints.
	Also some changes to make the code more maintainable:

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Put curly braces around the definitions of 'some'/2 and '&'/2 functors
	in `:- type' definitions, to avoid them being misinterpreted as
	existential type constraints.

compiler/goal_util.m:
compiler/polymorphism.m:
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/lambda.m:
	Include type_infos for existentially quantified type variables
	and type_class_infos for existential constraints
	in the set of extra variables computed by
	goal_util__extra_type_info_vars.

compiler/inlining.m:
	Change inlining__do_goal to handle inlining of calls to
	existentially typed predicates -- for them, instead of not
	binding any type variables at all in the caller, it allows the
	call to bind any type variables in the caller except for those
	that are universally quantified.

compiler/inlining.m:
compiler/deforest.m:
	Call pred_info_get_univ_quant_tvars and pass the
	result to inlining__do_inline_goal.

	existential type class constraints.

----------

Improve an error message.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Improve error reporting by checking type class constraints for
	satisfiability as we go and thus reporting unsatisfiable constraints
	as soon as possible, rather than only at the end of the clause.
	Previously we already did that for the case of ground constraints,
	but they are not the only unsatsfiable constraints: constraints
	on head type params (type variables which cannot be bound) are
	also unsatisfiable if they can't be eliminated straight away
	by context reduction.

tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
tests/invalid/typeclass_test_7.{m,err_exp}:
	Regression test for the above change.

----------

Avoid problems where type inference was reporting some
spurious errors for predicates using type classes,
because the check for unsatisfied type class constraints
was being done before the final pass of type inference
had finished.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add new field to the pred_info containing the unproven
	type class constraints.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	When inferring type class constraints, make sure that before
	we save the results back in the pred_info, we restrict the
	constraints to the head type variables.  Constraints
	on other type variables should be treated as
	unsatisfied constraints.

	Don't check for unsatisfied type class constraints at the
	end of each pass; instead, just save the unproven type class
	constraints in the pred_info.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	Check for unsatisfied type class constraints, using
	the new field in the pred_info.

tests/hard_coded/typeclasses/inference_test_2.{m,exp}:
tests/invalid/Mmakefile:
tests/invalid/typeclass_test_8.{m,err_exp}:
	Add regression tests for this change.

----------

Fix a bug with the computation of the non-locals for
predicates with more than one constraint on the same type variable --
it was only including one of the type-class-infos, rather than all of them.

compiler/goal_util.m:
	Change `goal_util__extra_nonlocal_typeinfos' so that it gets
	passed the TypeClassInfoVarMap and uses this to include all
	the appropriate typeclass infos in the extra nonlocals.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/lambda.m:
compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Pass the TypeClassInfoVarMap to `goal_util__extra_nonlocal_typeinfos'.

fd691889bf Get rid of unnecessary type variables when creating the auxiliary predicate
Estimated hours taken: 3

Get rid of unnecessary type variables when creating the auxiliary predicate
for an instance method.  This will hopefully be a little more robust than
the current approach since typecheck.m is now able to get rid of any unused
tvars...  they *must* have been introduced by type inference.

library/varset.m:
        Add a predicate varset__squash which gets rid of unused variables.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
        Call varset__squash to get rid of the unnecessary tvars.

compiler/typecheck.m:
        Call varset__squash to get rid of the unnecessary tvars, rather than
        doing it "manually".

	Add a new pred apply_variable_renaming_to_constraint.

247b1c24b9 Fix various invasions of the user's namespace by `mercury_builtin.m',
Estimated hours taken: 6

Fix various invasions of the user's namespace by `mercury_builtin.m',
by splitting mercury_builtin.m into two modules, called builtin.m and
private_builtin.m, and ensuring that the latter is imported as if
by `:- use_module' rather than `:- import_module'.

library/builtin.m:
library/private_builtin.m:
	Split mercury_builtin.m into two modules, builtin.m,
	which contains stuff intended to be public,
	and private_builtin.m, which contains implementation
	details that are not supposed to be public.

library/mercury_builtin.m:
	Add a comment saying that this module is no longer used, and
	should eventually be removed.  I have not removed it yet, since
	that would prevent bootstrapping with the current compiler.  It
	will be removed as a seperate change later, once all the
	changes have propagated.

compiler/prog_util.m:
	Change the definition of mercury_private_builtin_module/1 and
	mercury_public_builtin_module so that instead of automatically
	importing mercury_builtin.m as if by `import_module', the
	copiler will now automatically import builtin.m as if by
	`import_module' and private_builtin.m as if by `use_module'.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	Change a call to mercury_private_builtin_module/1 for
	unsafe_promise_unique to instead call mercury_public_builtin_module/1.

compiler/unify_proc.m:
	Avoid hard-coding "mercury_builtin" by instead
	calling one of  mercury_{private,public}_builtin_module/1.

runtime/mercury_type_info.[ch]:
library/term.m:
library/std_util.m:
compiler/code_util.m:
	Change a few hard-coded instances of "mercury_builtin"
	to "builtin" or "private_builtin" as appropriate.

runtime/mercury_trace_internal.c:
library/prolog.m:

	refer to either "builtin" or "private_builtin".

	Don't include the interface to private_builtin.m in the
	library reference manual.

tools/bootcheck:
	Add `-p'/`--copy-profiler' option.  This is needed to get
	the above changes to bootstrap.

c273ecdbcc A re-work of check_typeclass.m. Now, rather than the ad-hoc approach of
Estimated hours taken: 25

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

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

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

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

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

5e86fb5715 Fix some bugs in the handling of "non-simple" type class constraints
Estimated hours taken: 12

Fix some bugs in the handling of "non-simple" type class constraints
(ones for which the types being constrained are not just type variables).

compiler/prog_io_typeclass.m:
	Ensure that constraints on type class declarations must be "simple".
	This is needed the ensure termination of type checking.
	(We already did this for instance declarations, but not for
	superclass constraints on type class declarations.)

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Document the invariant that the types in a type class constraint
	must not contain any information in their term__context fields.

compiler/type_util.m:
compiler/equiv_type.m:
compiler/polymorphism.m:
compiler/prog_io_typeclass.m:
	Enforce the above-mentioned invariant.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Allow the declared constraints to be a superset of the
	inferred constraints.
	When performing context reduction, eliminate declared
	constraints at each step rather than only at the end.
	Remove declared constraints and apply superclass rules
	before applying instance rules.
	When applying instance rules, make sure that it is a type
	error if there is no matching instance rule for a ground
	constraint.
	If context reduction results in an error, restore the
	original type assign set, to avoid repeating the same
	error message at every subsequent call to perform_context_reduction.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	Change the way we superclass conformance for instance declarations
	to take advantage of the new "DeclaredConstraints" argument to
	typecheck__reduce_context_by_rule_application.

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.

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.

99184d3578 Implement support for types with user-defined equality predicates.
Estimated hours taken: 30

Implement support for types with user-defined equality predicates.

Types with user-defined equality predicates are called "non-canonical types";
they may have more than one representation for the same abstract value.
That means that any attempt to deconstruct a value of a non-canonical
type, i.e. any attempt to peek at the representation, must be cc_multi.

This also implies that conceptually speaking, non-canonical types are not
members of the type classes `comparable' (compare/3) or `deconstructible'
(index/2, argument/3, functor/3, deconstruct/5).  Since we don't support
type classes yet, that just means that the type-class checking is done
at runtime, i.e. any call to one of those functions for a non-canonical
type will call error/1 or fatal_error().

To make non-canonical types useful, we really need type classes,
so that the user can provide instance definitions for `comparable'
and `deconstructible' for such types.  It might also be a good idea
to have a type-class `canonicalizable' which provides a function
to convert its argument to some canonical type (that would
require existential types to do nicely, but alternatively we could
just use `univ').

Note that currently the only mechanism for promising that things are
unique is via the C interface.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Add code to check unifications that examine the
	representation of a type with a user-defined equality predicate.
	Any such unification must occur in a single-solution context and
	must not be able to fail.  Such unifications determinism have
	determinism cc_multi.

compiler/det_report.m:
	Add code to report errors for misuse of types with user-defined
	equality predicates.  (Also some other stylistic improvements:
	split up a complicated predicate into subroutines, and
	avoid some unnecessary code duplication.)

compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/hlds_data.m:
	Add a new `maybe(sym_name)' field to the du_type/3 constructor
	to hold the name of the user-defined equality pred for the
	type, if any.

compiler/prog_io.m:
	Add code to parse the new `... where equality is <name>.' syntax.
	Delete the old support for `... where <condition>'.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
compiler/mercury_to_goedel.m:
	Print out the new field.

compiler/type_util.m:
compiler/typecheck.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Trivial changes to ignore (or leave unchanged)
	the new field in `du_type'.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
	Pass the term__context to unify_proc__request_unify.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Typecheck the compiler-generated unify predicates for types
	with user-defined equality preds.

compiler/unify_proc.m:
	For d.u. types, if the type has a user-defined equality predicate
	then generate code for the compiler-generated unify predicate
	that just calls the specified predicate, and generate
	code for the compiler-generated compare and index predicates
	that just calls some procedures in mercury_builtin.m that
	report appropriate error messages.
	Ensure that the automatically-generated predicates
	have appropriate term__contexts everywhere, so that if
	the user-defined equality predicate name is ambiguous,
	non-existent, or has the wrong type, mode, or determinism,
	then the error messages from type checking, mode checking,
	or determinism checking refer to the type declaration.

library/mercury_builtin.m:
	Add predicates builtin_index_non_canonical_type/2
	and builtin_compare_non_canonical_type/2, used by
	the code generated by compiler/unify_proc.m.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Document the support for user-defined equality predicates.

library/std_util.m:
	Change ML_expand() to return an indication of whether or not
	the type is a non-canonical type (one with a user-defined
	equality predicate).  Change argument/2, functor/2, and
	deconstruct/4 to abort if called for a non-canonical type.

The compiler was not correctly handling the unbound type variables when

compiler/inlining.m:

	Update TypeVarSet and TypeInfoVarMap when inlining - unbound
	type variables can occur in the callee which need to be migrated
	to the caller when inlined.  Introduce new inline_info type, which
	stores information threaded through inling. This should make future
	changes to inlining much easier.

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.

Estimated hours taken: 100

* Inter-module unused argument removal.

* Allow the user to specify which directories should be searched
for .opt files.

* Enhancements to simplify.m and common.m which will be useful for
partial deduction.

compiler/options.m
	Added and documented options:
	--intermod-unused-args to enable inter-module unused argument removal.
	--intermod-directory <dir>, same as --search-directory except used
		to locate .opt files.
	--use-search-directories-for-intermod - use the search directories
		for .opt files as well.
	--warn-simple-code - a flag to control the warnings produced by
		simplify.m so that they respect --inhibit-warnings.

compiler/unused_args.m
	Use the unused argument info from the .opt file.
	Clobber the dependency_info if any new preds were added.

compiler/hlds_module.m
	Added a field to the module_info to store unused argument
	information from .opt files.

compiler/prog_data.m
	Add :- pragma unused_args to hold unused argument information.
	This should only be used in .opt files.

compiler/make_hlds.m
	Build the unused_arg_info field in the module_info.
	Check that pragma unused_args only appears in .opt files.
	Fill in the non-locals field in the goal_info for the builtin
	stubs so that mode analysis computes the correct instmap delta.

compiler/intermod.m
	Read in the unused argument information for the current module when
	compiling to C. This is used to ensure that clauses are produced with
	the correct number of removed arguments (it may be possible to remove
	more arguments with the information from other modules).
	Fix a bug in the handling of module qualified function calls and
	higher-order predicate constants.

compiler/handle_options.m
	Handle --intermod-unused-args and
	--use-search-directories-for-intermod.

compiler/mercury_compile.m
	Run the entire front end and polymorphism (not just up to
	typechecking) when building the .opt file with
	--intermod-unused-args.
	Use the new interface to simplify.m, remove calls to excess.m
	and common.m.

compiler/code_util.m
compiler/llds_out.m
	When generating local code for a specialized version of a predicate
	from another module, put this module's name on the label to avoid
	link errors.

compiler/higher_order.m
	Don't add the originating module name to the name of the specialized
	version, since that is now done in code_util.m.
	Clobber the dependency graph so that inlining will work on the
	specialized versions in profiling grades (this will cause slightly
	slower compilation in profiling grades, something I need to fix).

compiler/simplify.m
	Merge a branching goal and an adjacent switch where the branches
	of the first goal contain extra information about the switched
	on variable of the second goal.
	Merge the excess assignments and common subexpression elimination
	passes into simplify.m.

compiler/excess.m
	The functionality of this module is now in simplify.m, but I'll
	leave it here for now.

compiler/instmap.m
	Added predicates instmap__bind_var_to_functor and
	instmap_delta_bind_var_functor to which take a var, cons_id
	and an instmap and adjust the inst of the var. This is used to
	update the instmap at the beginning of each case in a switch.
	Fix a bug in merge_instmap_delta where variables whose inst had
	information added in one branch of a switch, disj, or ite had that
	changed inst included in the instmap_delta for the entire
	branched goal.

compiler/mode_util.m
	Use instmap_delta_bind_var_to_functor in recompute_instmap_delta.
	Added predicate bind_inst_to_functor which takes a ground or bound
	inst and a cons_id and adjusts the top level of the inst to be bound
	to that cons_id. Other types of inst are left unchanged.
	Change recompute_instmap_delta so that the switched on variable of
	a switch is bound to the functor in each case even if the binding
	unification has been removed. Added a boolean argument to request
	recomputation of instmap_deltas for atomic goals.

compiler/modes.m
compiler/unique_modes.m
	Make sure that the instmap_delta for each branch of a switch
	includes the extra information added by the functor test.

compiler/common.m
	Removed the goal traversal. Leave preds to be called by simplify.m
	to optimise common unifications and calls.
	Warn about and eliminate multiple calls to a predicate with the same
	input arguments.
	Replace deconstructions of known terms with assignments to the output
	variables where this would not make more variables live at stack
	flushes.

compiler/follow_code.m
	Exported move_follow_code_select.
	Don't move follow code into erroneous branches.

library/string.nu.nl
	Added string__contains_char/2.

compiler/base_type_layout.m
compiler/special_pred.m

	Change construct_type/3 and construct_type/4 so they correctly
	create higher-order types (particularly functions).

compiler/equiv_type.m:
	Use construct_type instead of construct_qualified_term, so
	that we handle higher order arguments correctly.

Estimated hours taken: 50

Create base_type_layout structures, which store information about how
Mercury data is represented in memory.

compiler/base_type_layout.m:
    Generate base_gen_layouts from HLDS.
    Pass over base_gen_layouts after code generation, create layout
    tables, and pseudo-typeinfos as needed.

compiler/base_type_info.m, compiler/dead_proc_elim.m:
    Allow base_type_infos to be `neutered' rather than eliminated
    by dead_proc_elim. This just removes references to compiler
    generated preds, and replaces them with references to an
    'unused' pred in mercury_builtin, which prints an error
    message if ever used. (The base_type_infos are always needed,
    even if the generated preds aren't, because the layout tables
    refer to them).

compiler/hlds_module.m:
    Add marker for procs eliminated in base_type_infos.
    Add base_gen_layout structure, and access predicates to HLDS.

compiler/llds.m, compiler/llds_out.m, compiler/opt_debug.m:
    Add a base_type_layout data_name, for storing references to
    base_type_layouts. Add output code.

compiler/llds_common.m:
    Get llds_common to process c_data structures given to it.
    (We'll give it the base_type_layouts).

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
    Add a pass to generate and process the base_type_gens.
    Fix a newline in a ... done message.
    Let llds_common work on the base_type_layouts.

compiler/type_util.m:
    Add type_util__var, which returns the type variable of a type
    (if it is a variable at the top level).

622b165a69 Fix some bugs with the handling of partially instantiated
Estimated hours taken: 16

Fix some bugs with the handling of partially instantiated
variables which have `no_tag' types.

N.B.  This fix does not handle the case of passing a partially
instantiated variable of a no_tag type to polymorphic predicate.
However, polymorphic predicates with partially instantiated
modes are a bit of a dodgy case anyway.

mode_util.m:
	Change mode_to_arg_mode to handle `no_tag' types properly.

unify_gen.m:
	Change the code to handle `no_tag' types properly.

arg_info.m, bytecode_gen.m:
	Pass the type of the variable, not just its mode,
	to mode_to_arg_mode, since whether a variable
	is `top_in' or not may depend on the type.

live_vars.m, liveness.m, store_alloc.m, unify_gen.m:
	Use `mode_to_arg_mode(..., top_in)' rather than
	`mode_is_input(...)', since here we're concerned
	with the low-level concept of top_in/top_out
	rather than the higher-level notion of input/output.

modecheck_unify.m:
	In split_complicated_subunifies, `mode_to_arg_mode(..., top_in)'
	rather than `mode_is_input(...)', for same reason as above.
	(In other parts of mode analysis we're concerned with the higher-level
	notion, but split_complicated_subunifies is basically just there
	for the code generator.)

type_util.m, make_tags.m, shapes.m:
	Put the test for a `no_tag' type into a utility predicate
	type_is_not_tag_type in type_util.m.

make_hlds.m:
	Change the code for add_builtin so that it puts the correct
	type annotations in the pred_info.  (The previous code was
	wrong, but the problem didn't show up until the new code in the
	other parts of this change tried to use the var_types field of
	the pred_info.)

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
	Updated student email addresses.

	local/1 (local a Mercury module but not necessarily to a C module,
	and exported.

llds_out:
	Keep track of the things declared previously, and don't declare them
	again unnecessarily. Associate indentation with the following item
	rather than the previous item (the influence of 244); this results
	in braces being put in different places than previously, but should be
	easier to maintain. Handle the new forms of addresses and labels.
	Refer to c_local labels as STATIC when not using --split-c-files.

code_info:
	Use a presently junk field to store a cell counter, which is used
	to allocate distinguishing numbers to create'd cells. Previously
	we used the label counter, which meant that label numbers changed
	when we optimized away some creates. Handle the new forms of
	addresses and labels.

exprn_aux:
	Handle the new forms of addresses and labels. We are now more
	precise in figuring out what label address forms will be considered
	constants by the C compilers.

others:
	Changes to handle the new forms of addresses and labels, and/or to
	access hlds_type__defn as an abstract type.

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.

Bug fixes for higher_order.m and unused_args.m

NEWS
	Removed the message about bugs in unused_args.m and higher_order.m

compiler/options.m
	Re-enabled higher_order and unused_args.

compiler/unused_args.m
	Fixed so that this now handles partially instantiated
	deconstructions correctly.

	inlining:apply_rec_substitution_to_type_map to type_util.m
	for use in the higher_order.m bug fix.

library/varset.m
	Added predicate varset__new_vars which returns a list of new
	variables.

library/term.m
	Added predicates term__apply_variable_renaming(_to_list)
	to apply a variable renaming (map(var, var)) to a term
	or list of terms.

library/map.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.)

	reporting errors for functions.

mercury_to_mercury:
	List `func' in the table of operators, so that it gets
	parenthesized correctly.

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.

Estimated hours taken: 1.5

Undo dylan's changes in the names of some library entities,
by applying the following sed script

	s/term_atom/term__atom/g
	s/term_string/term__string/g
	s/term_integer/term__integer/g
	s/term_float/term__float/g
	s/term_context/term__context/g
	s/term_functor/term__functor/g
	s/term_variable/term__variable/g
	s/_term__/_term_/g
	s/std_util__bool_/bool__/g

to all the `.m' and `.pp' files in the compiler and library directories.
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.
(That's what dylan's changes were trying to acheive, but `term__'
does genuinely represent a module qualifier.)

compiler/*.m:
	Apply sed script above;
	where appropriate, add `bool' to the list of imported modules.

Estimated hours taken: _2___

Change names with badly placed double underscores (ie where the part of
a name before a double underscore is not the same as the module name.)

Reflect changes in the library interface.

compiler/*:
	Use the newer, more correct form of the term and bool names.
	Predicates "bool__" are now "std_util__bool" and labels of
	the term ADT are now "term_" instead of "term__".

compiler/vn*.m:
	change all names "vn__*" to a correct module prefix.  All the
	names remain qualified.
