By default, when consulting or reconsulting, predicates are assumed to be static: execution is faster and the code will probably use less space. Static predicates impose some restrictions: in general there can be no addition or removal of clauses for a procedure if it is being used in the current execution. Dynamic predicates allow programmers to change the Clausal Data Base with the same flexibility as in C-Prolog. With dynamic predicates it is always possible to add or remove clauses during execution and the semantics will be the same as for C-Prolog. But the programmer should be aware of the fact that asserting or retracting are still expensive operations, and therefore he should try to avoid them whenever possible. */ :- system_module( '$_preds', [abolish/1, abolish/2, assert/1, assert/2, assert_static/1, asserta/1, asserta/2, asserta_static/1, assertz/1, assertz/2, assertz_static/1, clause/2, clause/3, clause_property/2, compile_predicates/1, current_key/2, current_predicate/1, current_predicate/2, dynamic_predicate/2, hide_predicate/1, nth_clause/3, predicate_erased_statistics/4, predicate_property/2, predicate_statistics/4, retract/1, retract/2, retractall/1, stash_predicate/1, system_predicate/1, system_predicate/2, unknown/2], ['$assert_static'/5, '$assertz_dynamic'/4, '$clause'/4, '$current_predicate'/4, '$init_preds'/0, '$noprofile'/2, '$public'/2, '$unknown_error'/1, '$unknown_warning'/1]). :- use_system_module( '$_boot', ['$check_head_and_body'/4, '$check_if_reconsulted'/2, '$handle_throw'/3, '$head_and_body'/3, '$inform_as_reconsulted'/2]). :- use_system_module( '$_errors', ['$do_error'/2]). :- use_system_module( '$_init', ['$do_log_upd_clause'/6, '$do_log_upd_clause0'/6, '$do_log_upd_clause_erase'/6, '$do_static_clause'/5]). :- use_system_module( '$_modules', ['$imported_pred'/4, '$meta_predicate'/4, '$module_expansion'/5]). :- use_system_module( '$_preddecls', ['$check_multifile_pred'/3, '$dynamic'/2]). :- use_system_module( '$_strict_iso', ['$check_iso_strict_clause'/1]). /** @pred assert_static(: _C_) Adds clause _C_ to a static procedure.
