Zoltan Somogyi 678fa1075f Add a capability for measuring statistics about the stack frame usage
Estimated hours taken: 6
Branches: main

Add a capability for measuring statistics about the stack frame usage
of a program.

configure.in:
	Find out the symbolic names of the max values for the 16 and 32 bit
	integer types.

runtime/mercury_conf.h.in:
	Include MR_{UINT,INT}_LEAST{16,32}_MAX among the macros whose values
	are determined by autoconfiguration.

runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
	Document MR_STACK_FRAME_STATS as a macro whose definition causes the
	program to collect statistics on stack frame sizes.

	Fix an obsolete reference: PARALLEL was renamed MR_THREAD_SAFE a long
	time ago.

	Document the incompatibility between MR_THREAD_SAFE and the statistics
	collection flags.

runtime/mercury_stacks.h:
	If MR_STACK_FRAME_STATS is defined, then record statistics every time
	we create a stack frame.

runtime/mercury_stacks.c:
	Define the global variables and functions needed for stack frame
	statistics.

runtime/mercury_heap_profile.h:
runtime/mercury_dword.h:
	Move the macros for managing 64-bit counters from
	mercury_heap_profile.h to a new header file, mercury_dword.h,
	since mercury_stacks.h now needs such counters too.

	Rewrite the macros to make fewer assumptions, using MR_int_least64_t
	and MR_int_least32_t instead of "long long" and "int".

	Add expression-like forms of some of the macros for use in
	mercury_stacks.h.

	Rename the type MR_dword as MR_Dword.

runtime/mercury_heap_profile.c:
	#include the new header file.

runtime/mercury_prof.c:
	Conform to the change from MR_dword to MR_Dword.

runtime/Mmakefile:
	Add the new header file to the list of header files.

runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
	If MR_STACK_FRAME_STATS is defined, initialize the stack frame stats
	before execution starts and write out the statistics when execution
	ends.

tools/speedtest:
	Add an option that when set, causes the script to report stack frame
	stats for each variant being tested.

** We count memory allocation in units of

** We keep track of how much allocation occurs in each "period".
** A period ends (and a new period begins) at each call to

** We also keep track of the total allocation over all periods.
**
** We keep track of how much memory was allocated
** - by each procedure,
** - for objects of each type,
** - and an overall total
**
** The tables of counters for each procedure is represented

** for each type.
**
** Due to garbage collection, the total amount of memory allocated can exceed
** the amount of real or even virtual memory available. Hence the total amount
** of memory allocated by a long-running Mercury program might not fit into a
** single 32-bit `unsigned long'. This is why we use MR_Dwords, which are
