Fergus Henderson a16424f6a1 Add support to the Mercury tracer for interacting with an external
Estimated hours taken: 24

Add support to the Mercury tracer for interacting with an external
Opium-style debugger via a socket.

TODO: currently there is no way for the debugger to specify
constraints on the arguments for a `forward_move' query.
The current code for doing that doesn't work.
(However, the reporting of arguments to the debugger
for an `output_current' query works fine.)

runtime/mercury_trace.c:
	Add code to MR_trace() to open a socket connection to
	an external debugger, and to process requests from that
	debugger, and send responses back.

runtime/mercury_trace.h:
runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
	Call MR_trace_end() from mercury_runtime_terminate() so that
	the external debugger gets notified when the program does
	a (normal) exit.

runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
	Fix a bug where the structures here did not match
	the output produced by compiler/stack_layout.m.

library/debugger_interface.m:
	New file.  Declares the Mercury types used for the debugger
	socket interface and defines support routines used by
	runtime/mercury_trace.c.

library/io.m:
runtime/mercury_types.h:
	Move the definition of MercuryFile from library/io.m to
	runtime/mercury_types.h, for use by runtime/mercury_trace.c.

library/io.m:
	When printing out values of type `c_pointer', print out
	the "<<c_pointer>>" string in single quotes, to ensure
	that it has valid syntax for a Prolog or Mercury term.
	This is necessary because otherwise c_pointers in procedure
	arguments could lead to the Mercury process sending a
	syntactically invalid term down the socket to the debugger,
	which would then be unable to parse it.

library/library.m:
	Add reference to debugger_interface.m, so that it gets
	include in libmercury.a.

doc/Mmakefile:
	Make sure that the library/debugger_interface.m does *not*
	get included in the Mercury library reference manual.

runtime/mercury_wrapper.h:
runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
runtime/mercury_init.h:
util/mkinit.c:
	Declare, define, and initialize pointers to the C functions
	exported by library/debugger_interface.m.
	(This is to avoid having a circular dependency where the
	runtime depends on the library.)

compiler/notes/authors.html:
	Add Erwan Jahier.
