@ingroup SWILibrary
The library(option) provides some utilities for processing option lists.
Option lists are commonly used as an alternative for many arguments.
Examples built-in predicates are open/4 and write_term/3. Naming the
arguments results in more readable code and the list nature makes it
easy to extend the list of options accepted by a predicate. Option lists
come in two styles, both of which are handled by this library.
$ Name(Value) :
This is the preferred style.
$ Name = Value :
This is often used, but deprecated.
Processing options inside time critical code (loops) can cause serious
overhead. One possibility is to define a record using library(record)
and initialise this using make_<record>/2. In addition to providing good
performance, this also provides type-checking and central declaration of
defaults.
==
:- record atts(width:integer=100, shape:oneof([box,circle])=box).
process(Data, Options) :-
make_atts(Options, Attributes),
action(Data, Attributes).
action(Data, Attributes) :-
atts_shape(Attributes, Shape),
...
==
@tbd We should consider putting many options in an assoc or record
with appropriate preprocessing to achieve better performance.
@tbd We should provide some standard to to automatic type-checking
on option lists.
