Implement the infrastructure for term size profiling.
Estimated hours taken: 400
Branches: main
Implement the infrastructure for term size profiling. This means adding two
new grade components, tsw and tsc, and implementing them in the LLDS code
generator. In grades including tsw (term size words), each term is augmented
with an extra word giving the number of heap words it contains; in grades
including tsc (term size cells), each term is augmented with an extra word
giving the number of heap cells it contains. The extra word is at the start,
at offset -1, to leave almost all of the machinery for accessing the heap
unchanged.
For now, the only way to access term sizes is with a new mdb command,
"term_size <varspec>". Later, we will use term sizes in conjunction with
deep profiling to do experimental complexity analysis, but that requires
a lot more research. This diff is a necessary first step.
The implementation of term size profiling consists of three main parts:
- a source-to-source transform that computes the size of each heap cell
when it is constructed (and increments it in the rare cases when a free
argument of an existing heap cell is bound),
- a relatively small change to the code generator that reserves the extra
slot in new heap cells, and
- extensions to the facilities for creating cells from C code to record
the extra information we now need.
The diff overhauls polymorphism.m to make the source-to-source transform
possible. This overhaul includes separating type_ctor_infos and type_infos
as strictly as possible from each other, converting type_ctor_infos into
type_infos only as necessary. It also includes separating type_ctor_infos,
type_infos, base_typeclass_infos and typeclass_infos (as well as voids,
for clarity) from plain user-defined type constructors in type categorizations.
This change needs this separation because values of those four types do not
have size slots, but they ought to be treated specially in other situations
as well (e.g. by tabling).
The diff adds a new mdb command, term_size. It also replaces the proc_body
mdb command with new ways of using the existing print and browse commands
("print proc_body" and "browse proc_body") in order to make looking at
procedure bodies more controllable. This was useful in debugging the effect
of term size profiling on some test case outputs. It is not strictly tied
to term size profiling, but turns out to be difficult to disentangle.
compiler/size_prof.m:
A new module implementing the source-to-source transform.
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
Mention the new module.
compiler/transform_hlds.m:
Include size_prof as a submodule of transform_hlds.
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
If term size profiling is enabled, invoke its source-to-source
transform.
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
Extend construction unifications with an optional slot for recording
the size of the term if the size is a constant, or the identity of the
variable holding the size, if the size is not constant. This is
needed by the source-to-source transform.
compiler/quantification.m:
Treat the variable reference that may be in this slot as a nonlocal
variable of construction unifications, since the code generator needs
this.
compiler/compile_target_code.m:
Handle the new grade components.
compiler/options.m:
Implement the options that control term size profiling.
doc/user_guide.texi:
Document the options and grade components that control term size
profiling, and the term_size mdb command. The documentation is
commented out for now.
Modify the wording of the 'u' HLDS dump flag to include other details
of unifications (e.g. term size info) rather than just unification
categories.
Document the new alternatives of the print and browse commands. Since
they are for developers only, the documentation is commented out.
compiler/handle_options.m:
Handle the implications of term size profiling grades.
Add a -D flag value to print HLDS components relevant to HLDS
transformations.
compiler/modules.m:
Import the new builtin library module that implements the operations
needed by term size profiling automatically in term size profiling
grades.
Switch the predicate involved to use state var syntax.
compiler/prog_util.m:
Add predicates and functions that return the sym_names of the modules
needed by term size profiling.
compiler/code_info.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:
compiler/var_locn.m:
Reserve an extra slot in heap cells and fill them in in unifications
marked by size_prof.
compiler/builtin_ops.m:
Add term_size_prof_builtin.term_size_plus as a builtin, with the same
implementation as int.+.
compiler/make_hlds.m:
Disable warnings about clauses for builtins while the change to
builtin_ops is bootstrapped.
compiler/polymorphism.m:
Export predicates that generate goals to create type_infos and
type_ctor_infos to add_to_construct.m. Rewrite their documentation
to make it more detailed.
Make orders of arguments amenable to the use of state variable syntax.
Consolidate knowledge of which type categories have builtin unify and
compare predicates in one place.
Add code to leave the types of type_ctor_infos alone: instead of
changing their types to type_info when used as arguments of other
type_infos, create a new variable of type type_info instead, and
use an unsafe_cast. This would make the HLDS closer to being type
correct, but this new code is currently commented out, for two
reasons. First, common.m is currently not smart enough to figure out
that if X and Y are equal, then similar unsafe_casts of X and Y
are also equal, and this causes the compiler do not detect some
duplicate calls it used to detect. Second, the code generators
are also not smart enough to know that if Z is an unsafe_cast of X,
then X and Z do not need separate stack slots, but can use the same
slot.
compiler/type_util.m:
Add utility predicates for returning the types of type_infos and
type_ctor_infos, for use by new code in polymorphism.m.
Move some utility predicates here from other modules, since they
are now used by more than one module.
Rename the type `builtin_type' as `type_category', to better reflect
what it does. Extend it to put the type_info, type_ctor_info,
typeclass_info, base_typeclass_info and void types into categories
of their own: treating these types as if they were a user-defined
type (which is how they used to be classified) is not always correct.
Rename the functor polymorphic_type to variable_type, since types
such as list(T) are polymorphic, but they fall into the user-defined
category. Rename user_type as user_ctor_type, since list(int) is not
wholly user-defined but falls into this category. Rename pred_type
as higher_order_type, since it also encompasses functions.
Replace code that used to check for a few of the alternatives
of this type with code that does a full switch on the type,
to ensure that they are updated if the type definition ever
changes again.
compiler/pseudo_type_info.m:
Delete a predicate whose updated implementation is now in type_util.m.
compiler/mlds_to_c.m:
compiler/mlds_to_gcc.m:
compiler/mlds_to_il.m:
compiler/mlds_to_java.m:
Still treat type_infos, type_ctor_infos, typeclass_infos and
base_typeclass_infos as user-defined types, but prepare for when
they won't be.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
Require interface typeinfo liveness when term size profiling is
enabled.
Add term_size_profiling_builtin.increase_size as a
no_type_info_builtin.
compiler/hlds_out.m:
Print the size annotations on unifications if HLDS dump flags call
for unification details. (The flag test is in the caller of the
modified predicate.)
compiler/llds.m:
Extend incr_hp instructions and data_addr_consts with optional fields
that allow the code generator to refer to N words past the start of
a static or dynamic cell. Term size profiling uses this with N=1.
compiler/llds_out.m:
When allocating memory on the heap, use the macro variants that
specify an optional offset, and specify the offset when required.

Do not include the term_size_prof_builtin module in the library
documentation.

library/benchmarking.m:
library/construct.m:
library/deconstruct.m:
library/io.m:
library/sparse_bitset.m:
library/store.m:
library/string.m:
Replace all uses of MR_incr_hp with MR_offset_incr_hp, to ensure
that we haven't overlooked any places where offsets may need to be
specified.
Fix formatting of foreign_procs.
Use new macros defined by the runtime system when constructing
terms (which all happen to be lists) in C code. These new macros
specify the types of the cell arguments, allowing the implementation
to figure out the size of the new cell based on the sizes of its
fields.
library/private_builtin.m:
Define some constant type_info structures for use by these macros.
They cannot be defined in the runtime, since they refer to types
defined in the library (list.list and std_util.univ).
util/mkinit.c:
Make the addresses of these type_info structures available to the
runtime.
runtime/mercury_init.h:
Declare these type_info structures, for use in mkinit-generated
*_init.c files.
runtime/mercury_wrapper.[ch]:
Declare and define the variables that hold these addresses, for use
in the new macros for constructing typed lists.
Since term size profiling can refer to a memory cell by a pointer
that is offset by one word, register the extra offsets with the Boehm
collector if is being used.
Document the incompatibility of MR_HIGHTAGS and the Boehm collector.
runtime/mercury_tags.h:
Define new macros for constructing typed lists.
Provide macros for preserving the old interface presented by this file
to the extent possible. Uses of the old MR_list_cons macro will
continue to work in grades without term size profiling. In term
size profiling grades, their use will get a C compiler error.
Fix a bug caused by a missing backslash.
runtime/mercury_heap.h:
Change the basic macros for allocating new heap cells to take
an optional offset argument. If this is nonzero, the macros
increment the returned address by the given number of words.
Term size profiling specifies offset=1, reserving the extra
word at the start (which is ignored by all components of the
system except term size profiling) for holding the size of the term.
Provide macros for preserving the old interface presented by this file
to the extent possible. Since the old MR_create[123] and MR_list_cons
macros did not specify type information, they had to be changed
to take additional arguments. This affects only hand-written C code.
Call new diagnostic macros that can help debug heap allocations.
Document why the macros in this files must expand to expressions
instead of statements, evn though the latter would be preferable
(e.g. by allowing them to declare and use local variables without
depending on gcc extensions).
runtime/mercury_debug.[ch]:
Add diagnostic macros to debug heap allocations, and the functions
behind them if MR_DEBUG_HEAP_ALLOC is defined.
Update the debugging routines for hand-allocated cells to print the
values of the term size slot as well as the other slots in the relevant
grades.
runtime/mercury_string.h:
Provide some needed variants of the macro for copying strings.
runtime/mercury_deconstruct_macros.h:
runtime/mercury_type_info.c:
Supply type information when constructing terms.
runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h:
Preserve the term size slot when copying terms.
runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h:
runtime/mercury_ho_call.c:
runtime/mercury_ml_expand_body.h:
Use MR_offset_incr_hp instead of MR_incr_hp to ensure that all places
that allocate cells also allocate space for the term size slot if
necessary.
Reduce code duplication by using a now standard macro for copying
strings.
runtime/mercury_grade.h:
Handle the two new grade components.
runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
Document the C macros used to control the two new grade components,
as well as MR_DEBUG_HEAP_ALLOC.
Detect incompatibilities between high level code and profiling.
runtime/mercury_term_size.[ch]:
A new module to house a function to find and return term sizes
stored in heap cells.
runtime/mercury_proc_id.h:
runtime/mercury_univ.h:
New header files. mercury_proc_id.h contains the (unchanged)
definition of MR_Proc_Id, while mercury_univ.h contains the
definitions of the macros for manipulating univs that used to be
in mercury_type_info.h, updated to use the new macros for allocating
memory.
In the absence of these header files, the following circularity
would ensue:
mercury_deep_profiling.h includes mercury_stack_layout.h
- needs definition of MR_Proc_Id
mercury_stack_layout.h needs mercury_type_info.h
- needs definition of MR_PseudoTypeInfo
mercury_type_info.h needs mercury_heap.h
- needs heap allocation macros for MR_new_univ_on_hp
mercury_heap.h includes mercury_deep_profiling.h
- needs MR_current_call_site_dynamic for recording allocations
Breaking the circular dependency in two places, not just one, is to
minimize similar problems in the future.
runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
Delete the definition of MR_Proc_Id, which is now in mercury_proc_id.h.
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
Delete the macros for manipulating univs, which are now in
mercury_univ.h.
runtime/Mmakefile:
Mention the new files.
runtime/mercury_imp.h:
runtime/mercury.h:
runtime/mercury_construct.c:
runtime/mercury_deep_profiling.h:
Include the new files at appropriate points.
runtime/mercury.c:
Change the names of the functions that create heap cells for
hand-written code, since the interface to hand-written code has
changed to include type information.
runtime/mercury_tabling.h:
Delete some unused macros.
runtime/mercury_trace_base.c:
runtime/mercury_type_info.c:
Use the new macros supplying type information when constructing lists.
scripts/canonical_grade_options.sh-subr:
Fix an undefined sh variable bug that could cause error messages
to come out without identifying the program they were from.
scripts/init_grade_options.sh-subr:
scripts/parse_grade_options.sh-subr:
scripts/canonical_grade_options.sh-subr:
scripts/mgnuc.in:
Handle the new grade components and the options controlling them.
trace/mercury_trace_internal.c:
Implement the mdb command "term_size <varspec>", which is like
"print <varspec>", but prints the size of a term instead of its value.
In non-term-size-profiling grades, it prints an error message.
Replace the "proc_body" command with optional arguments to the "print"
and "browse" commands.
doc/user_guide.tex:
Add documentation of the term_size mdb command. Since the command is
for implementors only, and works only in grades that are not yet ready
for public consumption, the documentation is commented out.
Add documentation of the new arguments of the print and browse mdb
commands. Since they are for implementors only, the documentation
is commented out.
trace/mercury_trace_vars.[ch]:
Add the functions needed to implement the term_size command, and
factor out the code common to the "size" and "print"/"browse" commands.
Decide whether to print the name of a variable before invoking the
supplied print or browse predicate on it based on a flag design for
this purpose, instead of overloading the meaning of the output FILE *
variable. This arrangement is much clearer.
trace/mercury_trace_browse.c:
trace/mercury_trace_external.c:
trace/mercury_trace_help.c:
Supply type information when constructing terms.
browser/program_representation.m:
Since the new library module term_size_prof_builtin never generates
any events, mark it as such, so that the declarative debugger doesn't
expect it to generate any.
Do the same for the deep profiling builtin module.
tests/debugger/term_size_words.{m,inp,exp}:
tests/debugger/term_size_cells.{m,inp,exp}:
Two new test cases, each testing one of the new grades.
tests/debugger/Mmakefile:
Enable the two new test cases in their grades.
Disable the tests sensitive to stack frame sizes in term size profiling
grades.
tests/debugger/completion.exp:
Add the new "term_size" mdb command to the list of command completions,
and delete "proc_body".
tests/debugger/declarative/dependency.{inp,exp}:
Use "print proc_body" instead of "proc_body".
tests/hard_coded/nondet_c.m:
tests/hard_coded/pragma_inline.m:
Use MR_offset_incr_hp instead of MR_incr_hp to ensure that all places
that allocate cells also allocate space for the term size slot if
necessary.
tests/valid/Mmakefile:
Disable the IL tests in term size profiling grades, since the term size
profiling primitives haven't been (and probably won't be) implemented
for the MLDS backends, and handle_options causes a compiler abort
for grades that combine term size profiling and any one of IL, Java
and high level C.

Make Aditi work with `--highlevel-code'.
Estimated hours taken: 80 Branches: main Make Aditi work with `--highlevel-code'. (Note that this doesn't work with the current CVS version of Aditi. The Aditi developers have rewritten the Aditi client API, and haven't maintained the old version of the API, so Mercury queries don't work at the moment. extras/aditi will be updated to use the new interface as a separate change.) extras/aditi/aditi_private_builtin.m: extras/aditi/aditi.m: Move code to implement Aditi calls and updates into a aditi_private_builtin.m. These operations are now implemented using ordinary Mercury foreign procedures, rather than hand-coded C modules. compiler/magic.m: Use calls to ordinary calls to predicates defined in extras/aditi/aditi_private_builtin.m to implement the procedures which interface between top-down Mercury code and Aditi procedures. compiler/aditi_backend.pp: compiler/aditi_builtin_ops.m: compiler/mercury_compile.m: compiler/notes/compiler_design.html: Add a pass to convert Aditi builtins (calls and updates) into ordinary calls to predicates defined in extras/aditi/aditi_private_builtin.m. compiler/hlds_goal.m: compiler/hlds_pred.m: Add a new generic_call type -- `unsafe_cast'. aditi_builtin_ops.m needs to be able to cast closures from one type and inst to another.

Perform loop invariant hoisting after inlining, since inlining
Estimated hours taken: 2 Branches: main compiler/mercury_compile.m: compiler/notes/compiler_design.html: Perform loop invariant hoisting after inlining, since inlining can create opportunities for loop invariant hoisting. library/string.m: Implement string__index in Mercury, in terms of string__length, string__unsafe_index, and a new procedure string__index_check, rather than implementing in C. string__index_check contains just the index checking code from the old string__index implementation. Implementing string__index in Mercury like this should allow the Mercury compiler to do loop invariant hoisting on the calls to string__length. Declare the output argument for string__unsafe_index and string__index_det with mode `uo', to match string__index. For unsafe__index, this change was needed now that string__index is implemented in terms of string__unsafe_index. |

Add an option `--no-inline-builtins', which causes builtins to
Estimated hours taken: 8
Branches: main
Add an option `--no-inline-builtins', which causes builtins to
be generated as calls to out-of-line procedures. This is done
by default when debugging, as without this option the execution
of builtins is not traced.
On earth, a compiler built in grade asm_fast.gc.tr.debug
takes 36.8s to run `mmc -C -I ../analysis/ hlds.make_hlds'.
When the compiler is built with `--no-inline-builtins',
this is increased to 38.6s.
The size of the compiler built in grade asm_fast.gc.tr.debug
increases from 45.0MB to 46.6MB.

Estimated hours taken: 16 Branches: main, release Fix a bug where the compiler was going into an infinite loop for insts and modes that are infinitely recursive at the top level, e.g. `:- inst foo == foo.' or `:- mode foo == foo'. compiler/make_hlds.m: Check for circular insts and modes, and report an error if any occur. Also, pass back a boolean from pass 1 indicating whether or not any cyclic insts and modes. Rename the "UndefModes" argument for parse_tree_to_hlds as "InvalidModes", and set it to yes if there were any circular insts or modes, to ensure that mercury_compile.m will not run mode analysis. This is needed to avoid infinite loops in mode analysis when processing circular compiler/notes/compiler_design.html: Mention that make_hlds.m checks for circular insts and modes.

This diff implements stack slot optimization for the LLDS back end based on
Estimated hours taken: 400
Branches: main
This diff implements stack slot optimization for the LLDS back end based on
the idea that after a unification such as A = f(B, C, D), saving the
variable A on the stack indirectly also saves the values of B, C and D.
Figuring out what subset of {B,C,D} to access via A and what subset to access
via their own stack slots is a tricky optimization problem. The algorithm we
use to solve it is described in the paper "Using the heap to eliminate stack
accesses" by Zoltan Somogyi and Peter Stuckey, available in ~zs/rep/stackslot.
That paper also describes (and has examples of) the source-to-source
transformation that implements the optimization.
The optimization needs to know what variables are flushed at call sites
and at program points that establish resume points (e.g. entries to
disjunctions and if-then-elses). We already had code to compute this
information in live_vars.m, but this code was being invoked too late.
This diff modifies live_vars.m to allow it to be invoked both by the stack
slot optimization transformation and by the code generator, and allows its
function to be tailored to the requirements of each invocation.
The information computed by live_vars.m is specific to the LLDS back end,
since the MLDS back ends do not (yet) have the same control over stack
frame layout. We therefore store this information in a new back end specific
field in goal_infos. For uniformity, we make all the other existing back end
specific fields in goal_infos, as well as the similarly back end specific
store map field of goal_exprs, subfields of this new field. This happens
to significantly reduce the sizes of goal_infos.
To allow a more meaningful comparison of the gains produced by the new
optimization, do not save any variables across erroneous calls even if
the new optimization is not enabled.
compiler/stack_opt.m:
New module containing the code that performs the transformation
to optimize stack slot usage.
compiler/matching.m:
New module containing an algorithm for maximal matching in bipartite
graphs, specialized for the graphs needed by stack_opt.m.
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
Invoke the new optimization if the options ask for it.
compiler/stack_alloc.m:
New module containing code that is shared between the old,
non-optimizing stack slot allocation system and the new, optimizing
stack slot allocation system, and the code for actually allocating
stack slots in the absence of optimization.
Live_vars.m used to have two tasks: find out what variables need to be
saved on the stack, and allocating those variables to stack slots.
Live_vars.m now does only the first task; stack_alloc.m now does
the second, using code that used to be in live_vars.m.
compiler/trace_params:
Add a new function to test the trace level, which returns yes if we
want to preserve the values of the input headvars.
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
Document the new modules (as well as trace_params.m, which wasn't
documented earlier).
compiler/live_vars.m:
Delete the code that is now in stack_alloc.m and graph_colour.m.
Separate out the kinds of stack uses due to nondeterminism: the stack
slots used by nondet calls, and the stack slots used by resumption
points, in order to allow the reuse of stack slots used by resumption
points after execution has left their scope. This should allow the
same stack slots to be used by different variables in the resumption
point at the start of an else branch and nondet calls in the then
branch, since the resumption point of the else branch is not in effect
when the then branch is executed.
If the new option --opt-no-return-calls is set, then say that we do not
need to save any values across erroneous calls.
Use type classes to allow the information generated by this module
to be recorded in the way required by its invoker.
Package up the data structures being passed around readonly into a
single tuple.
compiler/store_alloc.m:
Allow this module to be invoked by stack_opt.m without invoking the
follow_vars transformation, since applying follow_vars before the form
of the HLDS code is otherwise final can be a pessimization.
Make the module_info a part of the record containing the readonly data
passed around during the traversal.
compiler/common.m:
Do not delete or move around unifications created by stack_opt.m.
compiler/call_gen.m:
compiler/code_info.m:
compiler/continuation_info.m:
compiler/var_locn.m:
Allow the code generator to delete its last record of the location
of a value when generating code to make an erroneous call, if the new
--opt-no-return-calls option is set.
compiler/code_gen.m:
Use a more useful algorithm to create the messages/comments that
we put into incr_sp instructions, e.g. by distinguishing between
predicates and functions. This is to allow the new scripts in the
tool directory to gather statistics about the effect of the
optimization on stack frame sizes.
library/exception.m:
Make a hand-written incr_sp follow the new pattern.
compiler/arg_info.m:
Add predicates to figure out the set of input, output and unused
arguments of a procedure in several different circumstances.
Previously, variants of these predicates were repeated in several
places.
compiler/goal_util.m:
Export some previously private utility predicates.
compiler/handle_options.m:
Turn off stack slot optimizations when debugging, unless
--trace-optimized is set.
Add a new dump format useful for debugging --optimize-saved-vars.
compiler/hlds_llds.m:
New module for handling all the stuff specific to the LLDS back end
in HLDS goal_infos.
compiler/hlds_goal.m:
Move all the relevant stuff into the new back end specific field
in goal_infos.
compiler/notes/allocation.html:
Update the documentation of store maps to reflect their movement
into a subfield of goal_infos.
compiler/*.m:
Minor changes to accomodate the placement of all back end specific
information about goals from goal_exprs and individual fields of
goal_infos into a new field in goal_infos that gathers together
all back end specific information.
compiler/use_local_vars.m:
Look for sequences in which several instructions use a fake register
or stack slot as a base register pointing to a cell, and make those
instructions use a local variable instead.
Without this, a key assumption of the stack slot optimization,
that accessing a field in a cell costs only one load or store
instruction, would be much less likely to be true. (With this
optimization, the assumption will be false only if the C compiler's
code generator runs out of registers in a basic block, which for
the code we generate should be unlikely even on x86s.)
compiler/options.m:
Make the old option --optimize-saved-vars ask for both the old stack
slot optimization (implemented by saved_vars.m) that only eliminates
the storing of constants in stack slots, and the new optimization.
Add two new options --optimize-saved-vars-{const,cell} to turn on
the two optimizations separately.
Add a bunch of options to specify the parameters of the new
optimizations, both in stack_opt.m and use_local_vars.m. These are
for implementors only; they are deliberately not documented.
Add a new option, --opt-no-return-cells, that governs whether we avoid
saving variables on the stack at calls that cannot return, either by
succeeding or by failing. This is for implementors only, and thus
deliberately documented only in comments. It is enabled by default.
compiler/optimize.m:
Transmit the value of a new option to use_local_vars.m.
doc/user_guide.texi:
Update the documentation of --optimize-saved-vars.
library/tree234.m:
Undo a previous change of mine that effectively applied this
optimization by hand. That change complicated the code, and now
the compiler can do the optimization automatically.
tools/extract_incr_sp:
A new script for extracting stack frame sizes and messages from
stack increment operations in the C code for LLDS grades.
tools/frame_sizes:
A new script that uses extract_incr_sp to extract information about
stack frame sizes from the C files saved from a stage 2 directory
by makebatch and summarizes the resulting information.
tools/avg_frame_size:
A new script that computes average stack frame sizes from the files
created by frame_sizes.
tools/compare_frame_sizes:
A new script that compares the stack frame size information
extracted from two different stage 2 directories by frame_sizes,
reporting on both average stack frame sizes and on specific procedures
that have different stack frame sizes in the two versions.

Add an alternative implementation of Mmake as part of the compiler.
Estimated hours taken: 500 Add an alternative implementation of Mmake as part of the compiler. The advantages of this are - more accurate dependencies - no `mmake depend' step - less process creation (no processes are created to build interface files). Still to do: - handle --split-c-files - handle the IL backend properly - library installation - allow the compiler to be built and the nightly tests to be run with `mmc --make' compiler/make.m: Control the build process. compiler/make.program_target.m: Build executables and libraries. compiler/make.module_target.m: Build C files, object files, interface files etc. compiler/make.dependencies.m: Work out the depenendencies between targets. compiler/make.module_dep_file.m: Record the inter-module dependencies between invocations of mmc. compiler/make.util.m: Utility predicates used by `mmc --make'. compiler/compile_target_code.m: This module will eventually contain the predicates used to compile the target code files generated by the compiler which are now in mercury_compile.m. (That will be done as a separate change for ease of reviewing). For now compile_target_code.m compiler/mercury_compile.m: Export the predicates used to compile target code. Call make.m. Pass the name of the top-level module in the source file to modules.m. It is needed when generating the `.module_dep' files. Lookup the option defaults (which will eventually be stored in DEFAULT_MCFLAGS by the mmc script) before compiling. Up until now the option defaults have been passed on the command line by the mmc script, but with `mmc --make' the default options need to be overridden by the value of the MCFLAGS make variable, but the MCFLAGS make variable is overridden by command line options. Pass the value of `--link-flags' to c2init. Remove some uninformative messages printed when a C, IL, etc. compilation fails. compiler/options_file.m: Read files containing Make style variable assignments. compiler/options.m: doc/user_guide.texi: Add a new options category: build system options. Add some extra options: --warn-undefined-options-variables - like mmake --warn-undefined-vars --verbose-commands - print commands that the user might be interested in, like C compilation, but not things like mercury_update_interface. --output-compile-error-lines - print the first n lines of the error file generated by a command. --generate-mmc-make-modules-dependencies - generate dependencies for use by `mmc --make' even when using Mmake. --il-assembler, --ilasm-flags, --mcpp-compiler, --mcpp-flags, --csharp-compiler, --csharp-flags, --install-prefix, --install-command, --libgrades, --options-files, --options-search-directories. compiler/modules.m: Add fields to the `module_imports' type for use by make.*m. Don't try to fill in fields of the module_imports structure lazily. It's error prone, and probably doesn't save much anyway. Clean up the code to compute what foreign languages are used by a list of item. Simplify the handling of fact tables by recording that a module containing fact tables has foreign code to implement them, rather than requiring separate checks everywhere. Generalise predicates like get_interface so that they work even after the imported items have been read. Fix the handling of header files with the LLDS backend. Install the `.module_dep' files created for use by `mmc --make'. compiler/*.m: Use record syntax rather than explicit deconstruction to refer to fields of the `module_imports' type. compiler/*.m: Be more careful about where output goes. mercury_compile.m sets the output stream to be io__stderr_stream at the start of compilation, so remove all explicit writes to io__stderr_stream (with `--make' the error output stream may be a `.err' file, not io__stderr_stream). Change all occurrences of io__tell/io__told to use io__open_output/io__close_output (io__told restores the current output stream to io__stdout_stream, not the previous value). compiler/passes_aux.m: Make the output from system commands go to the current output stream, not C stdout and stderr. Allow commands to be printed with `--verbose-commands'. Remove uninformative error messages when a command fails. compiler/timestamp.m: Add functions oldest_timestamp and newest_timestamp. compiler/llds_out.m: Record the number of C files written with `--split-c-files' in <module>.num_split. compiler/prog_io.m: compiler/*.m: `search_for_file' now returns the directory in which the file was found. compiler/foreign.m: Use sub-typing to make some calls to predicates in this module `det' rather than `semidet'. compiler/handle_options.m: Return the option arguments. compiler/Mmakefile: make.util.m refers to kill() and `struct sigaction' which are not exported from <signal.h> unless `--no-ansi' is passed to gcc. compiler/notes/compiler_design.html: Document the new modules. runtime/mercury_signal.h: runtime/mercury_signal.c: Add a function MR_signal_should_restart() which alters whether a signal restarts or interrupts system calls. In general restarting is the preferred behaviour, but the wait() for a child process needs to be interruptible. scripts/Mmake.vars.in: Add subdirs for `.module_dep', `.err_date' and `.num_split' files. library/io.m: Add a version of io_call_system which returns the signal that killed the command rather than converting it into an error message.

Some more bug fixes for accurate GC with the MLDS->C back-end.
Estimated hours taken: 2 Branches: main Some more bug fixes for accurate GC with the MLDS->C back-end. With these changes, and a few hacks (see http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/research/ mercury/mailing-lists/mercury-reviews/mercury-reviews.0201/0188.html), I was able to build all of the programs in tests/benchmarks in grade hlc.agc, with `EXTRA_MCFLAGS = -O5 --no-deforestation --no-reclaim-heap-on-failure'. compiler/ml_elim_nested.m: - Use an assignment rather than an initializer when saving the stack chain; this is needed because the hoist_nested_funcs pass (which gets run next) assumes that the MLDS doesn't have any initializers for local variables. - Include a counter in the ml_elim_info, and use it to ensure that all the saved stack chain variables get named differently; this is needed because the hoist_nested_funcs pass doesn't handle variables with overlapping scopes. - Move the code for generating the code to save/restore the stack chain into a separate function. compiler/notes/compiler_design.html: Mention the accurate GC pass in ml_elim_nested.m. |

Constraint propagation.
Estimated hours taken: 90
Constraint propagation.
compiler/constraint.m:
Push constraints left and inwards as much as possible
within a goal. This module has been completely rewritten.
compiler/deforest.m:
Push constraints within a goal before processing it.
Make specialized versions for calls with constrained outputs.
Rerun determinism inference on specialized versions
when constraint propagation has been run, because the
determinism can change from nondet to semidet.
compiler/pd_util.m:
Add pd_util__propagate_constraints, which uses constraint.m
to push constraints within a goal.
Add some documentation for the exported predicates.
compiler/pd_term.m:
Add support for checking termination of the optimization process
for constraint propagation, which differs from deforestation
in that the conjunctions selected for optimization don't
necessarily have a call at both ends.
compiler/pd_debug.m:
Print some extra information when `--debug-pd' is enabled.
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
Check whether constraint propagation should be performed when
working out whether to run the deforestation pass.
compiler/make_hlds.m:
Add `no_inline' markers to the "recursive" procedures
introduced for builtins to stop constraint propagation
attempting to specialize such procedures.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
Don't fill in the declared determinism field of the predicates
introduced by `hlds_pred__define_new_pred', so that rerunning
determinism inference will compute a more accurate determinism.
compiler/inlining.m:
Requantify before recomputing instmap_deltas, not after.
compiler/det_report.m:
Add predicates to disable warnings when rerunning
determinism analysis after constraint propagation.
compiler/options.m:
Add documentation for `--constraint-propagation'.
Add option `--local-constraint-propagation', which makes
deforestation call constraint.m to move constraints within
a goal, but does not create specialized versions of procedures
for which there are calls with constrained outputs.
compiler/handle_options.m:
`--constraint-propagation' implies `--local-constraint-propagation'.
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
Change the documentation to show that constraint.m is now part
of the deforestation pass.
NEWS:
Announce the new transformation.
doc/user_guide.texi:
Document the new options.

Smart recompilation. Record version numbers for each item
Estimated hours taken: 400
Smart recompilation. Record version numbers for each item
in interface files. Record which items are used in each compilation.
Only recompile a module if the output file does not exist or
nothing has changed.
There is still some work to do on this:
- it doesn't work with inter-module optimization.
- it doesn't work when the module name doesn't match the file name.
(this problem will go away when mmake functionality is moved into
the compiler.
I'll hold off documenting this change in the NEWS file and
on the web page for a month or so, until I've had a bit more
experience using it.
compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
doc/user_guide.texi:
Add an option `--smart-recompilation', currently off by default.
Add an internal option `--generate-version-numbers' to control
whether version numbers are written to the interface files. If
`--smart-recompilation' is disabled because the module
is being compiled with `--intermodule-optimization' (e.g. in the
standard library), we still want to write the version numbers
to the interface files.
Add an option `--verbose-recompilation' (default off)
to write messages describing why recompilation is needed.
Add an option `--warn-smart-recompilation' (default on)
to control warnings relating to the smart recompilation
system. Warn if smart recompilation will not work with
the output and inter-module optimization options given.
compiler/recompilation.m:
Type declarations for smart recompilation.
Predicates to record program items used by compilation.
compiler/recompilation_version.m:
Compute version numbers for program items in interface files.
compiler/recompilation_usage.m:
Find all items used by a compilation.
compiler/recompilation_check.m:
Check whether recompilation is necessary.
compiler/timestamp.m:
Timestamp ADT for smart recompilation.
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
Invoke the smart recompilation passes.
compiler/modules.m:
compiler/prog_io.m:
Return timestamps for modules read.
When reading a module make sure the current input stream
is reset to its old value, not stdin.
Handle version number items in interface files.
compiler/module_qual.m:
compiler/unify_proc.m:
compiler/make_hlds.m:
Record all items used by local items.
compiler/make_hlds.m:
Process `:- pragma type_spec' declarations in
add_item_list_clauses. The qual_info is needed
when processing `:- pragma type_spec' declarations
so that any equivalence types used by the declaration
can be recorded as used by the predicate or function to
which the `:- pragma type_spec' applies.
compiler/equiv_type.m:
For each imported item, record which equivalence types
are used by that item.
compiler/hlds_module.m:
Add a field to the module_info to store information about
items used during compilation of a module.
compiler/check_typeclass.m:
Make sure any items used in clauses for typeclass method
implementations are recorded in the `.used' file.
compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/*.m:
Factor out some duplicated code by combining the
pred and func, and pred_mode and func_mode items.
Make it easier to extract the name of a type, inst or mode
from its declaration.
Add an item type to hold the version numbers for an interface file.
Allow warnings to be reported for `nothing' items (used for
reporting when version numbers are written using an
obsolete format).
compiler/prog_io.m:
compiler/prog_io_util.m:
compiler/typecheck.m:
compiler/type_util.m:
compiler/*.m:
Strip contexts from all types, not just those in class constraints.
This makes it possible to use ordinary unification to check
whether items have changed (with the exception of clauses).
Remove code to create types with contexts in typechecking.
Remove code scattered through the compiler to remove contexts
from types in class constraints.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
compiler/prog_util.m:
Move hlds_pred__adjust_func_arity to prog_util, so that it
can be used by the pre-hlds passes.
compiler/typecheck.m:
compiler/hlds_module.m:
Move typecheck__visible_modules to hlds_module.m, so it can
be used by recompilation_usage.m.
compiler/typecheck.m:
Add a comment telling where updates may be required if the
code to typecheck a var-functor unification changes.
compiler/error_util.m:
Allow writing messages without contexts (used for the verbose
recompilation messages).
Add functions to format sym_name and sym_name_and_arity,
and to add punctuation to the end of an error message
without unwanted line breaks before the punctuation.
scripts/Mmake.rules:
compiler/modules.m:
Don't remove the output file before running the compiler. We need
to leave the old output file intact if smart recompilation detects
that recompilation is not needed.
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
Document the new modules.
library/io.m:
NEWS:
Add predicates to find the modification time of files
and input_streams.
library/set.m:
NEWS:
Add a predicate version of set__fold
Don't sort the output of set__filter, it's already sorted.
library/std_util.m:
NEWS:
Add a predicate `std_util__map_maybe/3' and a function
`std_util__map_maybe/2' to apply a predicate or a function to
a value stored in a term of type `std_util__maybe'.
configure.in:
runtime/mercury_conf.h.in:
runtime/RESERVED_MACRO_NAMES:
When checking whether the compiler is recent enough, check for
the --warn-smart-recompilation option.
Check for stat().
library/Mmakefile:
Disable warnings about smart recompilation not working with
`--intermodule-optimization'.
browser/Mmakefile:
Disable warnings about smart recompilation not working when
the module name doesn't match the file name.
runtime/mercury_string.h:
Add a macro MR_make_string_const() which automates computation
of the length of string argument to MR_string_const().
tests/recompilation/Mmakefile:
tests/recompilation/runtests:
tests/recompilation/test_functions:
tests/recompilation/TESTS:
tests/recompilation/README:
A framework for testing smart recompilation.
The option currently only works for the recompilation directory.
tests/recompilation/TEST.m.{1,2}:
tests/recompilation/TEST_2.m.{1,2}:
tests/recompilation/TEST.exp.{1,2}:
tests/recompilation/TEST.err_exp.2:
Test cases, where TEST is one of add_constructor_r, add_instance_r,

Implement deep profiling; merge the changes on the deep2 branch back

The main documentation on the general architecture of the deep profiler is the deep profiling paper. doc/user_guide.texi: Document how to use the deep profiler. deep_profiler: deep_profiler/Mmakefile: A new directory holding the deep profiler and its mmakefile. Mmakefile: Add targets for the new directory. Add support for removing inappropriate files from directories. deep_profiler/interface.m: The deep profiler consists of two programs: mdprof_cgi.m, which acts as a CGI "script", and mdprof_server.m, which implements the server process that the CGI script talks to. Interface.m defines the interface between them. script/mdprof.in: A shell script template. ../configure uses it to generate mdprof, which is a wrapper around mdprof_cgi that tells it how to find mdprof_server. deep_profiler/mdprof_cgi.m: The CGI "script" program. deep_profiler/mdprof_server.m: The top level predicates of the server. deep_profiler/profile.m: The main data structures of the server and their operations. deep_profiler/read_profile.m: Code for reading in profiling data files. deep_profiler/startup.m: Code for post-processing the information in profiling data files, propagating costs from procedures to their ancestors and performing various kinds of summaries. deep_profiler/server.m: Code for responding to requests from the CGI script. deep_profiler/cliques.m: Code to find cliques in graphs. deep_profiler/array_util.m: deep_profiler/util.m: Utility predicates. deep_profiler/dense_bitset.m: An implementation of (part of) the set ADT with dense bit vectors. deep_profiler/measurements.m: Operations on profiling measurements. deep_profiler/timeout.m: An implementation of a timeout facility. deep_profiler/conf.m: Functions that depend on autoconfigured settings. configure.in: Find out what command to use to find the name of the local host. Install deep profiling versions of the standard library along with the other profiling versions. runtime/mercury_conf.h.in: Add some macros for deep_profiler/conf.m to use. library/profiling_builtin.m: runtime/mercury_deep_call_port_body.h: runtime/mercury_deep_leave_port_body.h: runtime/mercury_deep_redo_port_body.h: A new library module that implements deep profiling primitives. Some of these primitives have many versions, whose common code is factor is factored out in three new include files in the runtime. compiler/deep_profiling.m: New module to perform the program transformations described in the paper. compiler/notes/compiler_design.html: Document the new compiler module. compiler/mercury_compiler.m: Invoke the new module in deep profiling grades. Allow global static data to be generated by deep_profiling.m. compiler/options.m: Add options to turn on deep profiling and (for benchmarking purposes) control its implementation. Add an optiooption disable tailcall optimization in the LLDS backend, to help benchmarking deep profiling. compiler/jumpopt.m: compiler/optimize.m: Obey the option to disable tailcalls. compiler/handle_options.m: Handle the implications of deep profiling. compiler/modules.m: In deep profiling grades, automatically import profiling_builtin.m. compiler/prog_util.m: doc/Makefile: library/library.m: Handle the new builtin module. compiler/export.m: In deep profiling grades, wrap deep profiling code around exported procedures to handle the "unscheduled call" aspects of callbacks to Mercury from the foreign language. compiler/higher_order.m: profiler/demangle.m: util/demangle.c: When creating a name for a higher-order-specialized predicate, include the mode number in the name. compiler/add_trail_ops.m: compiler/type_util.m: Move c_pointer_type from add_trail_ops to type_util, so it can also be used by deep_profiling.m. compiler/hlds_goal.m: Add a new goal feature that marks a tail call, for use by deep_profiling.m. compiler/hlds_pred.m: Add a new field to proc_info structures for use by deep_profiling.m. Add a mechanism for getting proc_ids for procedure clones. Remove next_proc_id, an obsolete and unused predicate. compiler/hlds_data.m: Add a new cons_id to refer to the proc_static structure of a procedure. compiler/bytecode_gen.m: compiler/code_util.m: compiler/dependency_graph.m: compiler/hlds_out.m: compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m: compiler/ml_unify_gen.m: compiler/opt_debug.m: compiler/prog_rep.m: compiler/rl_exprn.m: compiler/switch_util.m: compiler/unify_gen.m: Trivial changes to handle the new cons_id, goal feature and/or proc_info argument. compiler/rtti.m: Add a utility predicate for extracting pred_id and proc_id from an rtti_proc_label, for use by hlds_out.m compiler/layout.m: compiler/layout_out.m: compiler/llds.m: compiler/llds_common.m: Add support for proc_static and call_site_static structures. compiler/layout_out.m: compiler/llds_out.m: Add code for the output of proc_static structures. compiler/code_util.m: Make code_util__make_proc_label_from_rtti a function, and export it. util/mkinit.c: compiler/llds_out.m: compiler/layout.m: compiler/modules.m: Add support for a fourth per-module C function, for writing out proc_static structures (and the call_site_static structures they contains). Since proc_static structures can be referred to from LLDS code (and not just from other static structures and compiler-generated C code), reorganize the declarations of static structures slightly. Change the schema for the name of the first per-module C function slightly, to make it the addition of the fourth function easier. The scheme now is: mercury__<modulename>__init mercury__<modulename>__init_type_tables mercury__<modulename>__init_debugger mercury__<modulename>__write_out_proc_statics Improve formatting of the generated C code. library/*.m: runtime/mercury.c: runtime/mercury_context.c: runtime/mercury_engine.c: runtime/mercury_ho_call.c: runtime/mercury_tabling.c: runtime/mercury_trace_base.c: runtime/mercury_wrapper.c: trace/mercrury_trace.[ch]: trace/mercrury_trace_declarative.c: trace/mercrury_trace_external.c: trace/mercrury_trace_internal.c: Conform to the new scheme for initialization functions for hand-written modules. compiler/mercury_compile.m: library/benchmarking.m: runtime/mercury_conf_param.h: runtime/mercury.h: runtime/mercury_engine.c: runtime/mercury_goto.c: runtime/mercury_grade.h: runtime/mercury_ho_call.c: runtime/mercury_label.[ch]: runtime/mercury_prof.[ch]: Add an MR_MPROF_ prefix in front of the C macros used to control the old profiler. compiler/handle_options.m: runtime/mercury_grade.h: scripts/canonical_grade.sh-subr: scripts/init_grade_options.sh-subr: scripts/parse_grade_options.sh-subr: Make deep profiling completely separate from the old profiling system, by making the deep profiling grade independent of MR_MPROF_PROFILE_TIME and the compiler option --profile-time. library/array.m: library/builtin.m: library/std_util.m: runtime/mercury_hand_unify_body.h: runtime/mercury_hand_compare_body.h: In deep profiling grades, wrap the deep profiling call, exit, fail and redo codes around the bodies of hand-written unification and comparison procedures. Make the reporting of array bounds violations switchable between making them fatal errors, as we currently, and reporting them by throwing an exception. Throwing an exception makes debugging code using arrays easier, but since exceptions aren't (yet) propagated across engine boundaries, we keep the old behaviour as the default; the new behaviour is for implementors. runtime/mercury_deep_profiling_hand.h: New file that defines macros for use in Mercury predicates whose definition is in hand-written C code. library/exception.m: runtime/mercury_exception_catch_body.h: runtime/mercury_stacks.h: In deep profiling grades, wrap the deep profiling call, exit, fail and redo codes around the bodies of the various modes of builtin_catch. Provide a function that C code can use to throw exceptions. library/benchmarking.m: library/exception.m: library/gc.m: library/std_util.m: runtime/mercury_context.[ch]: runtime/mercury_engine.[ch]: runtime/mercury_debug.c: runtime/mercury_deep_copy.c: runtime/mercury_overflow.h: runtime/mercury_regs.h: runtime/mercury_stacks.h: runtime/mercury_thread.c: runtime/mercury_wrapper.c: Add prefixes to the names of the fields in the engine and context structures, to make code using them easier to understand and modify. runtime/mercury_deep_profiling.[ch]: New module containing support functions for deep profiling and functions for writing out a deep profiling data file at the end of execution. runtime/mercury_debug.[ch]: Add support for debugging deep profiling. Add support for watching the value at a given address. Make the buffered/unbuffered nature of debugging output controllable via the -du option. Print register contents only if -dr is specified. runtime/mercury_goto.h: runtime/mercury_std.h: Use the macros in mercury_std.h instead of defining local variants. runtime/mercury_goto.h: runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h: runtime/mercury_stack_trace.c: runtime/mercury_tabling.c: trace/mercury_trace.c: trace/mercury_trace_declarative.c: trace/mercury_trace_external.c: trace/mercury_trace_vars.c: Standardize some of the macro names with those used in the debugger paper. runtime/mercury_heap.h: Add support for memory profiling with the deep profiler. runtime/mercury_prof.[ch]: runtime/mercury_prof_time.[ch]: Move the functionality that both the old profiler and the deep profiler need into the new module mercury_prof_time. Leave mercury_prof containing stuff that is only relevant to the old profiler. runtime/mercury_prof.[ch]: runtime/mercury_strerror.[ch]: Move the definition of strerror from mercury_prof to its own file. runtime/mercury_wrapper.[ch]: Add support for deep profiling. Add suppory for controlling whether debugging output is buffered or not. Add support for watching the value at a given address. runtime/Mmakefile: Mention all the added files. scripts/mgnuc.in: Add an option for turning on deep profiling. Add options for controlling the details of deep profiling. These are not documented because they are intended only for benchmarking the deep profiler itself, for the paper; they are not for general use. tools/bootcheck: Compile the deep_profiler directory as well as the other directories containing Mercury code. Turn off the creation of deep profiling data files during bootcheck, since all but one of these in each directory will be overwritten anyway. Add support for turning on --keep-objs by default in a workspace. tools/speedtest: Preserve any deep profiling data files created by the tests. trace/mercury_trace.c: Trap attempts to perform retries in deep profiling grades, since they would lead to core dumps otherwise. util/Mmakefile: Avoid compile-time warnings when compiling getopt. tests/*/Mmakefile: tests/*/*/Mmakefile: In deep profiling grades, switch off the tests that test features that don't work with deep profiling, either by design or because the combination hasn't been implemented yet. |

Remove the `--convert-to-goedel' option. It doesn't really work
Estimated hours taken: 0.5 Remove the `--convert-to-goedel' option. It doesn't really work and it's a hassle to maintain. Remove the `--generate-prolog' and `--prolog-dialect' options. They aren't implemented, and now that we have a proper debugger they probably never will be. compiler/mercury_to_goedel.m: Removed. compiler/notes/compiler_design.html: Remove mercury_to_goedel.m. compiler/globals.m: compiler/handle_options.m: Remove code dealing with Prolog dialects. compiler/options.m: doc/user_guide.texi: Remove the options. compiler/prog_io.m: Delete a comment referring to Mercury-to-Goedel converters. compiler/mercury_compile.m: Don't call convert_to_goedel. NEWS: Document the removal of the `--convert-to-goedel' option. WORK_IN_PROGRESS: Remove a reference to the `--generate-prolog' option. |

Remove compiler/excess.m. Its functionality has been included in
Estimated hours taken: 0.2 Remove compiler/excess.m. Its functionality has been included in simplify.m. The rationale for leaving it lying around was that it may have been necessary to provide a version which maintains superhomogeneous form. Experience has shown that when a compiler pass requires strict superhomogeneous form (e.g. magic.m) it's simpler to add back the extra assignments where needed. compiler/excess.m: Removed. compiler/dnf.m: Remove the last import of excess.m. compiler/notes/compiler_design.html Remove description of excess.m. |
