Summary0000142: problem updating rtti varmaps on inlining
DescriptionIn the following test case, higher order specialisation creates
`or__ho1' from of `or'.

We try to inline `or__ho1' into `orr'. In the call to `or__ho1' the
same variable `TypeClassInfo_for_dcg_14' appears twice in the argument
list, corresponding to the formal arguments V_22 and
TypeClassInfo_for_dcg_18 in the callee.

Eventually we try to rename the variables in the callee rtti varmap.
We hit an assertion failure in apply_substs_to_constraint_map
(hlds_rtti.m:777) as the two callee variables holding typeclass_infos
map to the same variable in the caller, and supposedly it is for two
different constraints. They are the same, just with different type
variables.

Is the fix to relax the assertion, or something else?

I think the problem may be this. inlining.get_type_substitution, which is used in a few places, creates a substitution from the callee's head argument types to types in the caller. However, it doesn't account for type variables in the range of functional dependencies, so they never appear in the type substitution.

So two separate type variables in the calleee remain as two different type variables after inlining, but they should have been unified. Which is why we got the assertion failure above: a single variable is supposedly holding the TypeClassInfo for two "different" constraints, but the two constraints only differ because their type variables weren't unified.

Does that make sense?
