Branches: main
Use 32 bits instead of 16 to index into module string tables, since our largest
file (make_hlds.m) is now bumping into the 64K limit. (It exceeded 32K some
time ago.) This increase the size of the Mercury compiler in debugging grades
by about 4%. (It also improves speed by almost 3%, but since this is probably
due to cache effects, I wouldn't count on it.)
runtime/mercuy_stack_layout.h:
Change the types of data structure fields that are used to index into
the string table from MR_uint_least16_t to MR_uint_least32_t.
compiler/layout_out.m:
Change from MR_uint_least16_t (actually MR_int_least16_t due to a bug)
to MR_uint_least32_t where appropriate.
compiler/stack_layout.m:
Change from MR_uint_least16_t to MR_uint_least32_t where appropriate.
