Zoltan Somogyi ebe9f9a3ec Add tabling of I/O actions for the debugger.
Estimated hours taken: 80

Add tabling of I/O actions for the debugger.

compiler/options.m:
	Add a new option, --trace-table-io, that enables the tabling of I/O
	actions, and another, --trace-table-io-states, that governs whether the
	tabling includes the I/O state variables themselves. (You want to table
	these variables iff they contain meaningful information that is not
	stored in global variables.) These options are for developers only
	for now.

compiler/modules.m:
	Implicitly import table_builtin if --trace-table-io is specified.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Add eval_table_io as a new eval method.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add a mechanism for checking whether a predicate has an input/output
	pair of io__state args.

	Extend the tables indexed by eval_method to handle eval_table_io.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Print the eval method in HLDS dumps.

compiler/table_gen.m:
	If a procedure has a pair of I/O state args and is defined using pragma
	C code that has the tabled_for_io marker, and --trace-table-io is
	specified, then perform I/O tabling on it and mark it as tabled.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.m:
	Document that table_gen.m can now change the evaluation methods of
	procedures (to eval_table_io).

compiler/stack_layout.m:
runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
	Add an extra field to proc layouts. If debugging is enabled and a
	procedure has I/O state arguments, this field gives the number of the
	stack slot which will be filled with the I/O action counter at the
	time of the call, so that on retry the debugger can reset the I/O
	action counter to this value.

compiler/trace.m:
	Add code to reserve and fill this stack slot.

	Make the order of fields in the trace_slots structure match the order
	in proc layouts.

compiler/code_info.m:
compiler/live_vars.m:
	Pass a module_info to trace__setup and trace__reserved_slots.

library/io.m:
	Mark the I/O primitives (i.e. procedures that are defined by pragma C
	code and do I/O) with the tabled_for_io feature. (See the discussion
	of I/O primitives in compiler/table_gen.m.)

	Standardize the formatting of predicates defined by pragma C codes.

library/table_builtin.m:
	Define the predicates that perform I/O tabling, to which calls are
	inserted in I/O tabled predicates. These depend on knowing what the
	maximum MR_Unsigned value is.

library/table_builtin.m:
runtime/mercury_tabling_macros.h:
	Table nodes implementing a simple kind of trie, which can also be
	viewed as a hash table with the hash function hash(n) = hash - start
	were already supported by mercury_tabling.c. They are used to
	implement I/O tabling, since I/O the tabled action numbers form a
	contiguous sequence. Now allow that functionality to be accessed
	from the library through macros.

runtime/mercury_trace_base.[ch]:
	Add the global variables required by I/O tabling.

trace/mercury_trace.c:
	Implement retry across I/O by resetting the I/O counter to the value
	it had on entry to the retried call. However, since this is not safe
	in general, ask the user for permission first.

trace/mercury_trace.h:
	Add two extra arguments to MR_trace_retry to specify the input and
	output streams on which to ask permission.

trace/mercury_trace_internal.c:
	Add commands to start and stop I/O tabling. For now, they are for use
	by developers only and are undocumented; I expect they will change
	significantly before being let loose on users.

trace/mercury_trace_external.c:
trace/mercury_trace_declarative.c:
	Pass extra arguments to MR_trace_retry to indicate that these modules
	are not interested (at least for now) in retry across I/O, since they
	do not (yet) have mechanisms for asking the user for permission.

tests/debugger/tabled_read.{m,inp,exp,data}:
	A new test case to check retry across tabled and non-tabled I/O.

tests/debugger/Mmakefile:
	Enable the new test case.
