Summary0000528: Compiler aborts when constructing invalid inst
DescriptionI want Mercury's mode checker to enforce following HTML validation rules via insts:
- An ul tag (unordered list) allows only li tags (list item) as direct children
- An li tag must have an ol tag as immediate parent

Expected result:
Compiler should report an error when creating an invalid inst.

Actual result:
Compiler aborts.

The error occurs with Mercury 20.06 as well as with rotd-2021-01-27.

I am testing a fix now.

However, if I were you, I would choose a HTML representation that
encoded HTML's invariants in the type, not in the mode. It would
not have any representation for
  • tags at all. Instead, the function
    symbol for lists would look like this:

    :- type html_elem
      ---> list(html_elem, list(html_elem))
      ...

    The
  • tags would be added only when a list is unparsed.
    (Not having an explicit representation for
  • guarantees
    that this representation cannot be put anywhere it shouldn't :-)
    And storing the first element of the list separately guarantees
    that the empty list is not representable.

    Sorry about the formatting of the above note. I didn't realize
    that Mantis does not quote html in notes :-( Those bullets were
    originally a sequence of <, l, i, and >.
