Description

atomic(Functor/Arity)
atomic(Functor1/Arity1, Functor2/Arity2, ...)
atomic([Functor1/Arity1, Functor2/Arity2, ...])

atomic(Functor1//Arity1, Functor2//Arity2, ...)
atomic([Functor1//Arity1, Functor2//Arity2, ...])

Declares atomic predicates and atomic grammar rule non-terminals. The execution of an atomic predicate (or atomic non-terminal) is protected by a mutex in order to allow for thread synchronization when proving a call to the predicate (or non-terminal).
