[m-dev.] for review: fix to liveness.m

Zoltan Somogyi zs at cs.mu.OZ.AU
Tue Feb 27 11:34:38 AEDT 2001


For review by anyone.

Make the liveness pass handle erroneous goals more sensibly. In particular,
avoid situations where erroneous goals force a variable to be born, to die
and to be born again, since such life histories violate the assumptions behind
the delay_death option.

compiler/liveness.m:
	Fix the bug that caused a compiler abort for erroneous_liveness.m
	in tests/hard_coded when compiled with debugging and --delay-death
	both enabled. The bug and the fix are described by the long comment
	before the new predicate union_branch_deadness.

	Fixing the bug also required fixing an old XXX about the correct
	calculation of post-death sets on atomic goals, which in turn
	required forward liveness information to be made available during the
	backward scan of the deadness pass.

compiler/options.m:
	Add a new option, --debug-liveness <predid>, that causes the HLDS of
	the specified procedure to be dumped to stdout between the major phases
	of the liveness pass. Without this, it is very difficult to debug the
	liveness pass.

	Turn the delay_death option back on, since the fix to liveness.m means
	it now works.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Make HLDS dumps detailed when the new option is given.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Pass I/O states to the liveness pass.

Zoltan.

+% The situation that requires the use of these predicates is the following:
+%
+% ... ( branch1 ; branch2 ), <goal2>, <goal3> ...
+%
+% where a variable is born in goal2 and dies in goal3, but, because e.g.
+% branch1 has determinism erroneous, the same variable is born and dies in
+% branch1 as well. (The current mode system permits this, although whether it
+% should is another matter.) Since the variable dies in branch1, it is put into
+% the pre-death set of branch2 as well.
+%
+% The problem arises when the death of the variable is delayed by the third
+% phase of liveness. The variable is still born in branch1, but is not born in
+% branch2, which leads to an inconsistency and a compiler abort.
+%
+% The solution is to take into account only the non-erroneous branches (the
+% branches that have reachable instmaps) when computing the set of variables
+% that have been seen in the branched control structure for the first time
+% in the backward traversal in the procedure body, and which therefore should
+% be put into the pre-death set of the branches which do not mention them.
+%
+% A further complication is branched control structures that have *no* branches
+% whose end points are reachable. (They exist, typically to select the
+% appropriate argument to invoke error/1 with.) We treat such control
+% structures as if they were erroneous non-branched goals, reducing the
+% situation to the one discussed in the previous paragraph. Treating them
+% as non-branched goals in this case requires treating all branches as if
+% their end points *were* reachable. Any excess deadness acquired by the goal
+% in this fashion will be discarded when the erroneous goal is paralleled by
+% a non-erroneous branch of an enclosing branched control structure.
