24b98fdafe Pack sub-word-sized ints and dummies in terms.
Previously, the only situation in which we could pack two or more arguments
of a term into a single word was when all those arguments are enums. This diff
changes that, so that the arguments can also be sub-word-sized integers
(signed or unsigned), or values of dummy types (which occupy zero bits).

This diff also records, for each argument of a function symbol, not just
whether, and if yes, how it is packed into a word, but also at *what offset*
that word is in the term's heap cell. It is more economical to compute this
once, when the representation of the type is being decided, than to compute
it over and over again when terms with that function symbol are being
constructed or deconstructed. However, for a transition period, we compute
these offsets at *both* times, to check the consistency of the new algorithm
for computing offsets that is run at "decide representation time" with
the old algorithms run at "generate code for a unification time".

compiler/du_type_layout.m:
    Make the changes described above: pack sub-word-sized integers and
    dummy values into argument words, if possible, and if the relevant
    new option allows it. These options are temporary. If we find no problems
    with the new packing algorithm in a few weeks, we should be able to
    delete them.

    Allow 64 bit ints and uints to be stored in unboxed in two words
    on 32 bit platforms, if the relevant new option allows it. Support
    for this is not yet complete, but it makes sense to implement the
    RTTI changes for both this change and one described in the above
    paragraph together.

    For each packed argument, record not just its width, its shift and
    the mask, but also the number of bits the argument takes. Previously,
    we computed this on demand from the mask, but there is no real need
    for that when simply storing this info is so cheap.

    For all arguments, packed or not, record its offset, relative to both
    the start of the arguments, and the start of the memory cell. (The two
    are different if the arguments are preceded by either a remote secondary
    tag, the typeinfos and/or typeclass_infos describing some existentially
    typed arguments, or both.) The reason for this is given at the top.

    Centralize the decision of the parameters of packing in one predicate.

    If the option --inform-suboptimal-packing is given, print an informational
    message whenever the code deciding type representations finds that
    reordering the arguments of a function symbol would allow it to pack
    the arguments of that function symbol into less space.

compiler/options.m:
    Add the option --allow-packing-ints which controls whether
    du_type_layout.m will attempt to pack {int,uint}{8,16,32} arguments
    alongside enum arguments.

    Add the option --allow-packing-dummies which controls whether
    du_type_layout.m will optimize away (in other words, represent in 0 bits)
    arguments of dummy types.

    Add the option --allow-double-word-ints which controls whether
    du_type_layout.m will store arguments of the types int64 and uint64
    unboxed in two words on 32 bit platforms, the way it currently stores
    double precision floats.

    All three those options are off by default, which preserves binary
    compatibility with existing code. However, the first two are ready
    to be switched on (the third is not).

    All three options are intended to be present in the compiler
    only until these changes are tested. Once we deem them sufficiently
    tested, I will modify the compiler to always do the packing they control,
    at which point we can delete these options. This is why they are not
    documented.

    Add the option --inform-suboptimal-packing, whose meaning is described
    above.

doc/user_guide.texi:
    Document --inform-suboptimal-packing.

compiler/prog_data.m:
    For each argument of a function symbol in a type definition, use
    a new type called arg_pos_width to record the extra information
    mentioned above in (offsets for all arguments, and number of bits
    for packed arguments).

    For each function symbol that has some existential type constraints,
    record the extra information mentioned for parse_type_defn.m below.

compiler/hlds_data.m:
    Include the position, as well as the width, in the representation
    of the arguments of function symbols.

    Previously, we used the integer 0 as a tag for dummies. Add a tag to
    represent dummy values, since this gives more information to any code
    that sees that tag.

compiler/ml_unify_gen.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:
    Handle the packing of dummy values, and of sub-word-sized ints and uints.

    Compare the cell offset of each argument computed using existing
    algorithms here with the cell offset recorded in the argument's
    representation, and abort if they are different.

    In some cases, restructure code a bit to make it possible.
    For example, for tuples and closures, this means that instead of
    simply recording that each tuple argument or closure element
    is a full word, we must record its correct offset as well.

    Handle the new dummy_tag.

    Add prelim (not yet finished) support for double-word int64s/uint64s
    on 32 bit platforms.

    When packing the values of two or more variables (or constants) into a
    single word in a memory cell, optimize away operations that are no-ops,
    such as shifting anything by zero bits, shifting the constant zero
    by any number of bits, and ORing anything with zero. This makes the
    generated code easier to read. It is probably also faster for us
    to do it here than to write out a bigger expression, have the C compiler
    read in the bigger expression, and then later make the same optimization.

    In ml_unify_gen.m, avoid the unnecessary use of a list of the argument
    variables' types separate from the list of the argument variables
    themselves; just look up the type of each argument variable when it is
    processed.

compiler/add_special_pred.m:
    When creating special (unify and compare) predicates for tuples,
    include the offsets in the representation of their arguments.

    Delete an unused predicate.

compiler/llds.m:
    Add a new way to create an rval: a cast. We use it to implement
    the extraction of signed sub-word-sized integers from packed argument
    words in terms. Masking the right N bits out of the packed word
    leaves the other 32-N or 64-N bits as zeroes; a cast to int8_t,
    int16_t or int32_t will copy the sign bit to these bits.
    Likewise, when we pack signed int{8,16,32} values into words,
    we cast them to their unsigned versions to throw away any sign-extension
    bits in their original word-sized representations.

    No similar change is needed for the MLDS, since that already had
    a mechanism for casts.

compiler/mlds.m:
    Note a potential simplification in the MLDS.

compiler/builtin_lib_types.m:
    Add functions to return the Mercury representation of the int64
    and uint64 types.

compiler/foreign.m:
    Export a specialized version of an existing predicate, to allow
    ml_unify_gen.m to avoid the costs of the more general version.

compiler/hlds_out_module.m:
    Always print the representations of all arguments, since the
    inclusion of position information in those representation means that
    the representations of even all-full-word-argument terms are of potential
    interest when debugging term representations.

compiler/lco.m:
    Do not try to apply LCO to arguments of dummy types. (We could optimize
    them differently, by filling them in before they are "computed", but
    that is a separate optimization, which is of *very* low priority.)

compiler/liveness.m:
    Do not include variables of dummy types in resume points.

    The reason for this is that the code that establishes a resume point
    returns, for each such variable, a list of *lvals* where that variable
    can be found. The new code in unify_gen.m will optimize away assignments
    to values of dummy types, so there is *no* lval where they can be found.
    We could allocate one, but doing so would be a pessimization. Instead,
    we simply don't save and restore such values. When their value (which is
    always 0) is needed, we can create them out of thin air.

compiler/ml_global_data.m:
    Include the target language in the ml_global_data structure, to prevent
    some of its users having to look it up in the module_info.

    Add notes about the specializing the implementation of arrays of
    int64s/uint64s on 32 bit platforms.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
compiler/ml_type_gen.m:
    Add sanity checks of the new precomputed fields of exist_constraints.

    Conform to the changes above.

compiler/mlds_to_c.m:
    Add prelim (not yet finished) support for double-word int64s/uint64s
    on 32 bit platforms.

    Add notes about possible optimizations.

compiler/parse_type_defn.m:
    When a function symbol in a type definition contains existential
    arguments, precompute and store the set of constrained and unconstrained
    type variables. The code in du_type_layout.m needs this information
    to compute the number of slots occupied by typeinfos and typeclass_infos
    in memory cells for this function symbol, and several other places
    in the compiler do too. It is easier and faster to compute this
    information just once, and this is the earliest time what that can be done.

compiler/type_ctor_info.m:
    Use the prerecorded information about existential types to simplify
    the code here

compiler/polymorphism.m:
    Add an XXX about possibly using the extra info we now record in
    exist_constraints to simplify the job of polymorphism.m.

compiler/pragma_c_gen.m:
compiler/var_locn.m:
    Create the values of dummy variables from scratch, if needed.

compiler/rtti.m:
    Replace a bool with a bespoke type.

compiler/rtti_out.m:
compiler/rtti_to_mlds.m:
    When generating RTTI information for the LLDS and MLDS backends
    respectively, record new kinds of arguments as needing special
    treatment. These are int64s and uint64s stored unboxed in two words
    on 32 bit platforms, {int,uint}{8,16,32} values packed into words,
    and dummy arguments. Each of these has a special code: its own negative
    negative value in the num_bits field of the argument.

    Generate slightly better formatted output.

compiler/type_util.m:
    Delete a predicate that isn't needed anymore.

compiler/opt_util.m:
    Delete a function that hasn't been needed for a while.

compiler/ml_code_util.m:
    Factor out some common code.

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
    Allocate special values of the MR_arg_bits field of the MR_DuArgLocn type
    to designate arguments as two word int64/uint64s, as sub-word-sized
    arguments of types {int,uint}{8,16,32}, or as arguments of dummy types.
    (We already had a special value for two word float arguments.)

    Document the list of places that know about this code, so that they
    can be updated if and when it changes.

library/construct.m:
    Handle the construction of terms with two-word int64/uint64 arguments,
    with packed {int,uint}{8,16,32} arguments, and with dummy arguments.

    Factor out the code common to the sectag-present and sectag-absent cases,
    to make it possible to do the above in just *one* place.

library/store.m:
    Add an XXX to a place that I don't think handles two word arguments
    correctly. (I think this is an old bug.)

runtime/mercury_deconstruct.c:
    Handle the deconstruction of terms with two-word int64/uint64 arguments,
    with packed {int,uint}{8,16,32} arguments, and with dummy arguments.

runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h:
    Handle the copying of terms with two-word int64/uint64 arguments,
    with packed {int,uint}{8,16,32} arguments, and with dummy arguments.

    Give a macro a more descriptive name.

runtime/mercury_type_info.c:
    Handle taking the size of terms with two-word int64/uint64 arguments,
    with packed {int,uint}{8,16,32} arguments, and with dummy arguments.

runtime/mercury.h:
    Put related definitions next to each other.

tests/hard_coded/construct_test.{m,exp}:
    Add to this test case a test of the construction, via the library's
    construct.m module, of terms containing packed sub-word-sized integers,
    and packed dummies.

tests/hard_coded/deconstruct_arg.{m,exp}:
    Convert the source code of this test case to state variable notation,
    and update the line number references (in the names of predicates created
    from lambda expressions) accordingly.

f80463dbcb Add builtin 64-bit integer types -- Part 2.
Replace placeholder types with int64 and uint64 as appropriate throughout the
system.

Enable support for 64-bit integer literals in the compiler.

Add initial library support for 64-bit integers.

configure.ac:
     Check that the bootstrap compiler recognises int64 and uint64 as
     builtins.

library/int64.m:
library/uint64.m:
     Populate these two modules to the extent that we can now run
     basic tests of 64-bit integer support.

     Note that since the bootstrap compiler will not recognise
     64-bit integer literals, any such literals are current written
     as conversions from ints; this will be replaced once this change
     has bootstrapped.

library/private_builtin.m:
    Replace the placeholder definitions for builtin unification and
    comparison of 64-bit integers with their actual definitions.

library/integer.m:
    Add procedures for converting integers to- and from int64 and uint64.

library/string.m:
    Add functions for converting 64-bit integers into strings.

library/io.m:
    Add predicates for writing 64-bit integers to text streams.
    (Support for 64-bit integers with binary streams will be done
    separately.)

library/stream.string_writer.m:
    Add put_int64/4 and put_uint/64.

    Extend the implementations of print and write to cover int64 and
    uint64.

library/pprint.m:
    Make int64 and uint64 instances of the doc/1 type class.

library/erlang_rtti_implementation.m:
library/rtti_implementation.m:
    Handle int64 and uint64 properly in deconstruct.

library/term.m:
    Add functions for converting 64-bit integers into terms.

library/term_conversion.m:
    Support int64 and uint64 in univ -> term conversion.

library/Mercury.options:
    Avoid a warning about the import of the require being
    unused in the int64 and uint64 modules.  It *is* used,
    but only in the definitions used by the Erlang backend.

compiler/superhomogeneous.m:
     Accept 64-bit integer literals.

compiler/c_util.m:
     In C, write out the value of the min_int64 as the symbolic
     constant INT64_MIN.  This expands in such a way as to avoid
     generating warnings from the C compiler.

12281f3419 Implement a type representation optimisation ("direct argument functors"),
Branches: main

Implement a type representation optimisation ("direct argument functors"),
where a functor with exactly one argument can be represented by a tagged
pointer to the argument value, which itself does not require the tag bits,
e.g.

	:- type maybe_foo ---> yes(foo) ; no.
	:- type foo       ---> foo(int, int).  % aligned pointer

To ensure that all modules which could construct or deconstruct the functor
agree on the type representation, I had planned to automatically output
extra information to .int files to notify importing modules about functors
using the optimised representation:

	:- type maybe_foo ---> yes(foo) ; no
		where direct_arg is [yes/1].

However, the compiler does not perform enough (or any) semantic analysis
while making interface files.  The fallback solution is to only use the
optimised representation when all importing modules can be guaranteed to
import both the top-level type and the argument type, namely, when both
types are exported from the same module.  We also allow certain built-in
argument types; currently this only includes tuples.

Non-exported types may use the optimised representation, but when
intermodule optimisation is enabled, they may be written out to .opt files.
Then, we *do* add direct_arg attributes to .opt files to ensure that importing
modules agree on the type representation.  The attributes may also be added by
Mercury programmers to source files, which will be copied directly into .int
files without analysis.  They will be checked when the module is actually
compiled.

This patch includes work by Zoltan, who independently implemented a version
of this change.

b68e45e937 Improvements to the Erlang backend RTTI implementation.
Estimated hours taken: 10
Branches: main

Improvements to the Erlang backend RTTI implementation.

- Remember the lexical order of discriminated union functors, and use that
  for functor numbers, as in the C backends.

- Change the representation of type_ctor_descs, which are now different from
  the representation of type_ctor_infos in the case of variable arity types
  (higher order types and tuples).  This is necessary so we can get the arity
  from a variable arity type_ctor_desc.

- Implement some related procedures:

	construct.get_functor_ordinal
	construct.get_functor_lex
	deconstruct.functor_number
	deconstruct.functor_number_cc


compiler/erl_rtti.m:
compiler/erlang_rtti.m:
	For d.u. functors, output the functor number (based on lexicographic
	order) as well in the RTTI data.

library/erlang_rtti_implementation.m:
	Implement the functor numbering and type_ctor_desc changes.

	Rename some procedures to distinguish between type_ctor_infos and
	type_ctor_descs.

	Fix some minor bugs.

library/construct.m:
	Make get_functor_ordinal, get_functor_lex call the corresponding
	procedures in erlang_rtti_implementation.

library/deconstruct.m:
	Make deconstruct_du, functor_number, functor_number_cc
	call the corresponding procedures in erlang_rtti_implementation.

library/type_desc.m:
	Make type_ctor, type_ctor_and_args, make_type,
	type_ctor_name_and_arity call the corresponding procedures in

941be20e27 Type_desc__get_functor looks up the types of the arguments of a function
Estimated hours taken: 16
Branches: main

Type_desc__get_functor looks up the types of the arguments of a function
symbol. This predicate used to abort when an argument has an existential
type. This diff makes type_desc__get_functor work even in that case.
However, since in such cases the type of an argument is not a ground type,
this diff has to add the concept of a pseudo_type_desc, a descriptor for
a not necessarily ground type. Pseudo_type_descs are implemented as
MR_PseudoTypeInfos.

runtime/mercury_type_info.[ch]:
	Add new macros to operate on pseudo_type_infos. Most have a structure
	modelled on corresponding macros operating on type_infos.

	Provide versions of MR_get_arg_type_info, MR_compare_type_info,
	MR_unify_type_info, MR_collapse_equivalences,
	MR_type_params_vector_to_list, MR_create_type_info and
	MR_create_type_info_maybe_existq that work on pseudo_type_infos,
	not type_infos.

	Change MR_pseudo_type_info_vector_to_type_info_list, which implements
	the core of get_functor, to return pseudo_type_infos instead of
	type_infos, and rename it to reflect this fact.

	Change to four-space indentation to reduce the number of lines
	that have to be wrapped.

runtime/mercury_make_type_info_body.h:
	Generalize the code for creating type_infos to also be handle
	pseudo_type_infos.

	Change to four-space indentation to reduce the number of lines
	that have to be wrapped.

runtime/mercury_type_desc.[ch]:
	Provide versions of MR_make_type_ctor_desc and MR_type_ctor_and_args
	that work on pseudo_type_infos, not type_infos.

	Change to four-space indentation to reduce the number of lines
	that have to be wrapped.

runtime/mercury_builtin_types.[ch]:
runtime/mercury_builtin_types_proc_layouts.h:
runtime/mercury_hlc_types.h:
runtime/mercury_unify_compare_body.h:
	Add the C types, global variables and functions necessary for the
	new builtin Mercury type pseudo_type_desc. This type must be builtin,
	because its structure (MR_PseudoTypeInfo) is defined in C, and as such
	cannot be unified, compared, deconstructed etc without hand-written
	C code.

runtime/mercury_deep_copy.c:
runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h:
	Handle the copying of pseudo_type_infos/pseudo_type_descs. This code
	is almost the same as the code to copy type_infos, but must of course
	handle type variables, and the arguments are themselves copied as
	pseudo_type_infos, not type_infos.

	Since deep copy needs to create pseudo_type_infos, provide a version
	of the MR_PseudoTypeInfo type without const.

runtime/mercury_construct.c:
runtime/mercury_deconstruct.c:
	Handle pseudo_type_descs just as we handle type_descs: neither can be
	constructed, nor do they have function symbols with named arguments.

runtime/mercury_ml_expand_body.c:
	Provide code to deconstruct pseudo_type_descs. This code is almost
	the same as the code to deconstruct type_descs, but must of course
	handle type variables, and the arguments are themselves
	pseudo_type_descs, not type_descs.

runtime/mercury_tabling.c:
	Catch attempts to table pseudo_type_infos.

runtime/mercury_tags.h:
	Add macros for constructing lists of
	pseudo_type_infos/pseudo_type_descs.

runtime/mercury_wrapper.[ch]:
	Define global variables holding the addresses of the typeinfos for
	describing pseudo_type_descs and lists of pseudo_type_descs.

runtime/mercury_init.c:
	Add the extern declarations required by new code in mkinit.c.

util/mkinit.c:
	Make the addresses of the typeinfos for describing pseudo_type_descs
	and lists of pseudo_type_descs, defined in the library, known to the
	runtime.

library/type_desc.m:
	Add a new builtin type, pseudo_type_desc, for describing possibly
	nonground types.

	Add utility predicates for operating on pseudo_type_descs.

library/private_builtin.m:
	Handle the new builtin type.

	Add builtin typeinfos for describing pseudo_type_descs and lists of
	pseudo_type_descs, since some functions in the runtime need them
	for memory profiling.

library/rtti_implementation.m:
	Handle the new builtin type, mostly by ignoring it, since the backends
	that use this module do not have any notion of pseudo_type_infos.

	Bring the module up to date with our formatting guidelines.

library/construct.m:
	Make get_functor return a list of pseudo_type_descs instead of
	type_descs.

	Change the name of the version of get_functor that returns argument
	names, to distinguish it from the base version by more than just the
	arity.

	Make the order of predicates more logical.

library/std_util.m:
	Change the name of the version of get_functor that returns argument
	names, to distinguish it from the base version by more than just the
	arity.

	However, this name change is effectively the only change: both
	get_functor and get_functor_with_names still return lists of
	type_descs. This means that they will throw exceptions in the presence
	of existential types, but code using them need no algorithmic changes.

library/term.m:

2b559ad054 Move the RTTI-related parts of std_util.m to three new modules in the standard
Estimated hours taken: 8
Branches: main

Move the RTTI-related parts of std_util.m to three new modules in the standard
library, and (in the case of embedded C code) to new modules in the runtime.
The main reason for this is to allow a reorganization of some of the
RTTi-related functionality without breaking backward compatibility. However,
the new arrangement should also be easier to maintain.

Use a separate type_ctor_rep for functions, to distinguish them from predicates
for RTTI code. (At one point, I thought this could avoid the need for the
change to the initialization files mentioned below. It can't, but it is a good
idea in any case.)

library/std_util.m:
	Remove the functionality moved to the new modules, and replace them
	with type equivalences and forwarding code. There are no changes in
	the meanings of the user-visible predicates, with two exceptions.

	- First, the true, equivalence-expanded names of what used to be
	  std_util:type_desc and std_util:type_ctor_desc are now
	  type_desc:type_desc and type_desc: type_ctor_desc.
	- Second, deconstructing a function term now yields
	  "<<function>>" instead of "<<predicate>>".

	The intention is that the RTTI predicates in std_util.m will continue
	to work in a backwards-compatible manner for the near future, i.e. as
	the new modules are updated, the code in std_util will be updated to
	maintain the same functionality, modulo improvements such as avoiding
	unwanted exceptions. When the RTTI functionality in the other modules
	has stabilised, the RTTI predicates in std_util.m should be marked
	obsolete.

	The exported but non-documented functionality of std_util has been
	moved to one of the new modules without forwarding code, with one
	of the moved predicates being turned into the function it should have
	been in the first place.

library/construct.m:
library/deconstruct.m:
library/type_desc.m:
	Three new modules for the code moved from std_util.m.

library/library.m:
compiler/modules.m:
	Record the names of the three new library modules.

runtime/mercury.[ch]:
compiler/mlds_to_il.m:
	Record that type_desc is now in type_desc.m, not std_util.m.

compiler/static_term.m:
	Import the deconstruct module, since we are using its undocumented
	facilities.

runtime/Mmakefile:
	Mention the two new modules.

runtime/mercury_construct.[ch]:
runtime/mercury_type_desc.[ch]:
	Two new modules holding the C functions that used to be in foreign_code
	in std_util, now using MR_ instead of ML_ prefixes, and being more
	consistent about indentation.

runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Add a new type_ctor_rep for functions, separate from predicates.
	(It reuses the EQUIV_VAR type_ctor_rep, which hasn't been used
	in ages.)

	Use type_ctor_reps to distinguish between the type_ctor_infos of
	pred/0 and func/0. However, to create higher order typeinfos, we
	still need to know the addresses of the type_ctor_infos for
	pred/0 and func/0, and we still need to know the address of the
	type_ctor_info for tuples to create typeinfos for tuples. Since
	these three type_ctor_infos are defined in the library,
	we cannot access them directly from the runtime. We therefore need
	to access them indirectly in the usual manner, via address_of
	variables initialized by mkinit-generated code.
