It turns out I had misinterpreted the cause of that test case
failure. It was actually failing due to a determinism error
in the test case. That of course raises another question: why wasn't
it failing for the LLDS back-end? The reason is that the determinism
error was in a part of the test case which the LLDS back-end didn't
compile, but which the MLDS back-end did.
Anyhow, here's the fix.
----------
Estimated hours taken: 1
tests/valid/intermod_user_equality2.m:
tests/valid/intermod_user_equality_nested2.m:
Fix a bug in these test cases that caused a compile error
("unification for non-canonical type is not guaranteed to succeed")
when building things in MLDS grades. For the LLDS back-end,
these modules weren't being compiled, only the modules that
import them were being compiled; but for the MLDS back-end,
compiling the latter to `.o' requires generating the header
files for the former, and generating the header files requires
compilation.
