compiler/handle_options.m:
compiler/options.m:
Add a new internal option --static-ground-int64s, whose value
says whether 64-bit integers may be placed in static data.
(As with floats currently, we always do this.)
compiler/llds_out_data.m:
If 64-bit integers are boxed, then emit a static constant to hold
the value of each 64-bit integer literal.
compiler/llds.m:
compiler/llds_out_util.m:
compiler/code_info.m:
Keep track of whether we are using unboxed int64s and static ground int64s
at various points in the code generator.
Add decl_ids for the labels we generate for 64-bit integer constants.
compiler/exprn_aux.m:
Fix an XXX: properly determine whether an expression containing 64-bit
integers is constant or not.
compiler/c_util.m:
Add functions for converting 64-bit integers into strings giving
the C literal representation of those integers.
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.
