GNU Prolog is a free Prolog compiler with constraint solving over finite
|
|
domains developed by Daniel Diaz.
|
|
|
|
GNU Prolog accepts Prolog+constraint programs and produces native binaries
|
|
(like gcc does from a C source). The obtained executable is then stand-alone.
|
|
The size of this executable can be quite small since GNU Prolog can avoid to
|
|
link the code of most unused built-in predicates. The performances of GNU
|
|
Prolog are very encouraging (comparable to commercial systems).
|
|
|
|
Beside the native-code compilation, GNU Prolog offers a classical interactive
|
|
interpreter (top-level) with a debugger.
|
|
|
|
The Prolog part conforms to the ISO standard for Prolog with many extensions
|
|
very useful in practice (global variables, OS interface, sockets,...).
|
|
|
|
GNU Prolog also includes an efficient constraint solver over Finite Domains
|
|
(FD). This opens contraint logic pogramming to the user combining the power
|
|
of constraint programming to the declarativity of logic programming.
