are known to hold non-negative values.

and signedness of the corresponding C RTTI structure fields.
Encode type ctor flags in a uint16 instead of int.

return a maybe value, instead of a negative value to represent no
primary tags or no function symbols, respectively.

Branches: main
Pack consecutive enumeration arguments in discriminated union types into a
single word to reduce cell sizes. Argument packing is only enabled on C
back-ends with low-level data, and reordering arguments to improve
opportunities for packing is not yet attempted. The RTTI implementations for
other back-ends will need to be updated, but that is best left until after any
argument reordering change.
Modules which import abstract enumeration types are notified so by writing
declarations of the form:
:- type foo where type_is_abstract_enum(NumBits).
into the interface file for the module which defines the type.
compiler/prog_data.m:
Add an `arg_width' argument to constructor arguments.
Replace `is_solver_type' by `abstract_type_details', with an extra
option for abstract exported enumeration types.
compiler/handle_options.m:
compiler/options.m:
Add an internal option `--allow-argument-packing'.
compiler/make_hlds_passes.m:
Determine whether and how to pack enumeration arguments, updating the
`arg_width' fields of constructor arguments before constructors are
added to the HLDS.
compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
compiler/modules.m:
Write `where type_is_abstract_enum(NumBits)' to interface files
for abstract exported enumeration types.
compiler/prog_io_type_defn.m:
Parse `where type_is_abstract_enum(NumBits)' attributes on type
definitions.
compiler/arg_pack.m:
compiler/backend_libs.m:
Add a new module. This mainly contains a predicate which packs rvals
according to arg_widths, which is used by both LLDS and MLDS back-ends.
compiler/ml_unify_gen.m:
compiler/unify_gen.m:
Take argument packing into account when generating code for
constructions and deconstructions. Only a relatively small part of the
compiler actually needs to understand argument packing. The rest works
at the HLDS level with constructor arguments and variables, or at the
LLDS and MLDS levels with structure fields.
compiler/code_info.m:
compiler/var_locn.m:
Add assign_field_lval_expr_to_var and
var_locn_assign_field_lval_expr_to_var.
Allow more kinds of rvals in assign_cell_arg. I do not know why it was
previously restricted, except that the other kinds of rvals were not
encountered as cell arguments before.
compiler/mlds.m:
We can now rely on the compiler to pack arguments in the
mlds_decl_flags type instead of doing it manually. A slight downside
is that though the type is packed down to a single word cell, it will
still incur a memory allocation per cell. However, I did not notice
any difference in compiler speed.
compiler/rtti.m:
compiler/rtti_out.m:
Add and output a new field for MR_DuFunctorDesc instances, which, if
any arguments are packed, points to an array of MR_DuArgLocn. Each
array element describes the offset in the cell at which the argument's
value is held, and which bits of the word it occupies. In the more
common case where no arguments are packed, the new field is simply
null.
compiler/rtti_to_mlds.m:
Generate the new field to MR_DuFunctorDesc.
compiler/structure_reuse.direct.choose_reuse.m:
For now, prevent structure reuse reusing a dead cell which has a
different constructor to the new cell. The code to determine whether a
dead cell will hold the arguments of a new cell with a different
constructor will need to be updated to account for argument packing.
compiler/type_ctor_info.m:
