The prog_data.m module is imported by most modules of the compiler; by
359 modules out of 488, to be exact. Yet it has many parts that most of
those 359 modules don't need. This diff puts those parts into four new
modules. The number of imports of these modules:
348 modules import prog_data.m
84 modules import prog_data_foreign.m
62 modules import prog_data_pragma.m
12 modules import prog_data_event.m
5 modules import prog_data_used_modules.m
compiler/prog_data_event.m:
compiler/prog_data_foreign.m:
compiler/prog_data_pragma.m:
compiler/prog_data_used_modules.m:
New modules. They contain the parts of the parse tree that deal
respectively with the specification of events and event sets,
interfacing to foreign languages, pragmas, and the sets of used
(i.e. not unused) modules.
compiler/prog_data.m:
Delete the stuff that is now in the new modules. Put the remaining parts
of the module into a logical order.
compiler/parse_tree.m:
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
Include and document the new modules.

Move a type here from prog_data.m, since this is where it belongs.

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.
README files
The Mercury compiler has a number of 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
-
Platforms
-
Cross compilation
Other information
See the current release notes for the latest stable release. The history file is relevant if you want to find out more about the past development of Mercury. News lists any current or future enhancements (but this isn't always up-to-date). The limitations file lists a number of 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.
