Zoltan Somogyi 309910d736 Change the mechanism we use to transmit a representation of procedure bodies
Estimated hours taken: 16
Branches: main

Change the mechanism we use to transmit a representation of procedure bodies
from the compiler to the declarative debugger from Mercury terms to a bytecode.
This achieves two objectives.

First, the code for Mercury terms worked only as long as the compiler used
the same data representation as the program being compiled; it generated
incorrect term representations when e.g. the compiler generating code in
reserve tag grades.

Second, the new representation is significantly smaller. The total size of the
.c files in the compiler directory in grade asm_fast.gc.decldebug.tr is now
only 213 Mb compared with 313 Mb previously (a reduction of almost one third).
The executable file size of a compiler compiled in asm_fast.gc.decldebug.tr is
now only 59 Mb, compare with 64 Mb previously (a reduction of almost 8%, and
there is room for further reductions). The overhead of the decldebug grade
when compared with a plain debug grade now only about 25%, compared to
about 36% before.

The downside is that the procedure body representation must now be constructed
by the declarative debugger from the bytecode instead of being available
directly. We minimize this effect by using a cache to ensure that each
procedure's body representation is constructed at most once.

browser/declarative_execution.m:
	Do not include the procedure representation in call nodes. This should
	make the annotated trace somewhat smaller and quicker to construct.
	Since this code will be executed many more times than the number of
	procedures whose bodies are needed by subterm dependency tracking,
	the overall effect of this change on speed should be positive.

	Instead, add code to construct procedure body representations on demand
	from bytecode, which is reachable indirectly through the call's node
	label label structure.

browser/declarative_tree.m:
	Conform to the new structure of call nodes.

compiler/prog_rep.m:
	Replace the code that generated the term representation of procedure
	bodies with code that generates a bytecode representation of procedure
	bodies.

compiler/static_term.m:
	Delete this file, since it is no longer needed.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Document the deletion of static_term.m.

mdbcomp/program_representation.m:
	Add the definitions related to the structure of the bytecode that are
	shared by the compiler and the declarative debugger. This includes
	the representations of determinisms.

compiler/code_model.m:
	To prevent requiring double maintenance, use the facilities now in
	mdbcomp/program_representation.m to encode determinisms.

runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h:
compiler/layout.m:
compiler/layout_out.m:
compiler/opt_debug.m:
compiler/stack_layout.m:
	Replace the proc layout field holding the procedure representation term
	with the field holding the procedure representation bytecode.

runtime/mercury_grade.h:
	Record the breaking of backward compatibility in debug grades.

compiler/options.m:
	Add an option for use by compiler implementors while implementing
	changes like this.

runtime/mercury_trace_base.[ch]:
	Add the hash table that caches the results of bytecode translations.

trace/mercury_trace_declarative.c:
	Do not include procedure representations when constructing call nodes,
	since it is no longer necessary.

trace/mercury_trace_internal.c:
	Update the code that deals with procedure bodies to use the bytecode
	representation.

% Definitions of Mercury types for representing layout structures within
% the compiler. Layout structures are generated by the compiler, and are
% used by the parts of the runtime system that need to look at the stacks
% (and sometimes the registers) and make sense of their contents. The parts
% of the runtime system that need to do this include exception handling,
% the debugger, the deep profiler and (eventually) the accurate garbage
% collector.
%
% When output by layout_out.m, values of most these types will correspond
% to the C types defined in runtime/mercury_stack_layout.h or
% runtime/mercury_deep_profiling.h; the documentation of those types
% can be found there. The names of the C types are listed next to the
% function symbol whose arguments represent their contents.
%
% The code to generate values of these types is in stack_layout.m and
% deep_profiling.m.
%
% This module should be, but as yet isn't, independent of whether we are
% compiling to LLDS or MLDS.
