STANDARD_MCFLAGS:
Make --warn-dead-preds and --warn-implicit-stream-calls the defaults.
Previously, these were the defaults in some directories, but not all.

Avoid warnings about dead code by
- deleting it (if it is trivial recreate if ever needed again,
or is obviously never going to be needed again,
- commenting out the dead predicates, if the module concerned already
has such code, or
- adding consider_used pragmas for the dead predicates.

deep_profiler/Mercury.options:
Disable --warn-dead-preds for the canonical module, which was
never finished. Document this fact.
library/Mercury.options:
Disable --warn-implicit-stream-calls for the modules that export
predicates that do I/O to implicitly specified streams, since
they cannot be fixed without breaking backwards compatibility.
ssdb/ssdb.m:
Document the fact that this module requires nontrivial changes
(storing the ids of the input/stream streams in the debugger state)
to avoid warnings from --warn-implicit-stream-calls.
Document why --warn-dead-preds must be disabled for (the current code of)
this module.
Change a type from an equivalence type to a notag type, for additional
type safety.
Add some documentation.
Delete a dead predicate.
ssdb/Mercury.options:
Disable --warn-dead-preds and --warn-implicit-stream-calls for ssdb.m.
Mercury
Mercury is a logic/functional programming language which combines the clarity and the expressiveness of declarative programming with advanced static analysis and error detection features.
More information is available on the website's about pages, in other README files in the source code repository, and in the documentation.
Small sample programs written in Mercury can be found in the samples and extras directories of the source code repository.
README files
The Mercury compiler has two different backends and works on different operating systems. Specific information is contained in individual README files:
-
Bootstrapping discusses how to get Mercury installed.
This is important, as the Mercury compiler is written in Mercury.
-
C Low-level backend
This backend works well with GCC but also works with:
-
High-level backend targets
-
Supported operating systems
-
Other platform information
Other information
See the current release notes for the latest stable release. The news file lists any recent changes. The history file is relevant if you want to find out more about the past development of Mercury. The limitations file lists some ways in which the Mercury implementation does not yet meet its goals.
Information for developers
If you are considering contributing to the Mercury project, the website contains some documents that may be helpful. These include a document about contributions in general and specific information about contributing such as coding styles.
