/** @defgroup Old_Style_Attribute_Declarations SICStus Prolog style Attribute Declarations
@ingroup Attributed_Variables
@{
Old style attribute declarations are activated through loading the library <tt>atts</tt> . The command
~~~~~
| ?- use_module(library(atts)).
~~~~~
enables this form of use of attributed variables. The package provides the
following functionality:
+ Each attribute must be declared first. Attributes are described by a functor
and are declared per module. Each Prolog module declares its own sets of
attributes. Different modules may have different functors with the same
module.
+ The built-in put_atts/2 adds or deletes attributes to a
variable. The variable may be unbound or may be an attributed
variable. In the latter case, YAP discards previous values for the
attributes.
+ The built-in get_atts/2 can be used to check the values of
an attribute associated with a variable.
+ The unification algorithm calls the user-defined predicate
<tt>verify_attributes/3</tt> before trying to bind an attributed
variable. Unification will resume after this call.
+ The user-defined predicate
<tt>attribute_goal/2</tt> converts from an attribute to a goal.
+ The user-defined predicate
<tt>project_attributes/2</tt> is used from a set of variables into a set of
constraints or goals. One application of <tt>project_attributes/2</tt> is in
the top-level, where it is used to output the set of
floundered constraints at the end of a query.
/** @defgroup Attribute_Declarations Attribute Declarations
@ingroup Old_Style_Attribute_Declarations
@{
Attributes are compound terms associated with a variable. Each attribute
has a <em>name</em> which is <em>private</em> to the module in which the
attribute was defined. Variables may have at most one attribute with a
name. Attribute names are defined with the following declaration:
~~~~~
:- attribute AttributeSpec, ..., AttributeSpec.
~~~~~
where each _AttributeSpec_ has the form ( _Name_/ _Arity_).
One single such declaration is allowed per module _Module_.
Although the YAP module system is predicate based, attributes are local
to modules. This is implemented by rewriting all calls to the
built-ins that manipulate attributes so that attribute names are
preprocessed depending on the module. The `user:goal_expansion/3`
mechanism is used for this purpose.
The attribute manipulation predicates always work as follows:
+ The first argument is the unbound variable associated with
attributes,
+ The second argument is a list of attributes. Each attribute will
be a Prolog term or a constant, prefixed with the <tt>+</tt> and <tt>-</tt> unary
operators. The prefix <tt>+</tt> may be dropped for convenience.
The following three procedures are available to the user. Notice that
these built-ins are rewritten by the system into internal built-ins, and
that the rewriting process <em>depends</em> on the module on which the
built-ins have been invoked.
The user-predicate predicate verify_attributes/3 is called when
attempting to unify an attributed variable which might have attributes
in some _Module_.
Attributes are usually presented as goals. The following routines are
used by built-in predicates such as call_residue/2 and by the
Prolog top-level to display attributes:
Constraint solvers must be able to project a set of constraints to a set
of variables. This is useful when displaying the solution to a goal, but
may also be used to manipulate computations. The user-defined
project_attributes/2 is responsible for implementing this
projection.
The following two examples example is taken from the SICStus Prolog manual. It
sketches the implementation of a simple finite domain `solver`. Note
that an industrial strength solver would have to provide a wider range
of functionality and that it quite likely would utilize a more efficient
representation for the domains proper. The module exports a single
predicate `domain( _-Var_, _?Domain_)` which associates
_Domain_ (a list of terms) with _Var_. A variable can be
queried for its domain by leaving _Domain_ unbound.
We do not present here a definition for project_attributes/2.
Projecting finite domain constraints happens to be difficult.
~~~~~
:- module(domain, [domain/2]).
:- use_module(library(atts)).
:- use_module(library(ordsets), [
ord_intersection/3,
ord_intersect/2,
list_to_ord_set/2
]).
:- attribute dom/1.
verify_attributes(Var, Other, Goals) :-
get_atts(Var, dom(Da)), !, % are we involved?
( var(Other) -> % must be attributed then
( get_atts(Other, dom(Db)) -> % has a domain?
ord_intersection(Da, Db, Dc),
Dc = [El|Els], % at least one element
( Els = [] -> % exactly one element
Goals = [Other=El] % implied binding
; Goals = [],
put_atts(Other, dom(Dc))% rescue intersection
)
; Goals = [],
put_atts(Other, dom(Da)) % rescue the domain
)
; Goals = [],
ord_intersect([Other], Da) % value in domain?
).
verify_attributes(_, _, []). % unification triggered
% because of attributes
% in other modules
attribute_goal(Var, domain(Var,Dom)) :- % interpretation as goal
get_atts(Var, dom(Dom)).
domain(X, Dom) :-
var(Dom), !,
get_atts(X, dom(Dom)).
domain(X, List) :-
list_to_ord_set(List, Set),
Set = [El|Els], % at least one element
( Els = [] -> % exactly one element
X = El % implied binding
; put_atts(Fresh, dom(Set)),
X = Fresh % may call
% verify_attributes/3
).
~~~~~
Note that the _implied binding_ `Other=El` was deferred until after
the completion of `verify_attribute/3`. Otherwise, there might be a
danger of recursively invoking `verify_attribute/3`, which might bind
`Var`, which is not allowed inside the scope of `verify_attribute/3`.
Deferring unifications into the third argument of `verify_attribute/3`
effectively serializes the calls to `verify_attribute/3`.
Assuming that the code resides in the file domain.yap, we
can use it via:
~~~~~
| ?- use_module(domain).
~~~~~
Let's test it:
~~~~~
| ?- domain(X,[5,6,7,1]), domain(Y,[3,4,5,6]), domain(Z,[1,6,7,8]).
domain(X,[1,5,6,7]),
domain(Y,[3,4,5,6]),
domain(Z,[1,6,7,8]) ?
yes
| ?- domain(X,[5,6,7,1]), domain(Y,[3,4,5,6]), domain(Z,[1,6,7,8]),
X=Y.
Y = X,
domain(X,[5,6]),
domain(Z,[1,6,7,8]) ?
yes
| ?- domain(X,[5,6,7,1]), domain(Y,[3,4,5,6]), domain(Z,[1,6,7,8]),
X=Y, Y=Z.
X = 6,
Y = 6,
Z = 6
~~~~~
To demonstrate the use of the _Goals_ argument of
verify_attributes/3, we give an implementation of
freeze/2. We have to name it `myfreeze/2` in order to
avoid a name clash with the built-in predicate of the same name.
~~~~~
:- module(myfreeze, [myfreeze/2]).
:- use_module(library(atts)).
:- attribute frozen/1.
verify_attributes(Var, Other, Goals) :-
get_atts(Var, frozen(Fa)), !, % are we involved?
( var(Other) -> % must be attributed then
( get_atts(Other, frozen(Fb)) % has a pending goal?
-> put_atts(Other, frozen((Fa,Fb))) % rescue conjunction
; put_atts(Other, frozen(Fa)) % rescue the pending goal
),
Goals = []
; Goals = [Fa]
).
verify_attributes(_, _, []).
attribute_goal(Var, Goal) :- % interpretation as goal
get_atts(Var, frozen(Goal)).
myfreeze(X, Goal) :-
put_atts(Fresh, frozen(Goal)),
Fresh = X.
~~~~~
Assuming that this code lives in file myfreeze.yap,
we would use it via:
~~~~~
| ?- use_module(myfreeze).
| ?- myfreeze(X,print(bound(x,X))), X=2.
bound(x,2) % side effect
X = 2 % bindings
~~~~~
The two solvers even work together:
~~~~~
| ?- myfreeze(X,print(bound(x,X))), domain(X,[1,2,3]),
domain(Y,[2,10]), X=Y.
bound(x,2) % side effect
X = 2, % bindings
Y = 2
~~~~~
The two example solvers interact via bindings to shared attributed
variables only. More complicated interactions are likely to be found
in more sophisticated solvers. The corresponding
verify_attributes/3 predicates would typically refer to the
attributes from other known solvers/modules via the module prefix in
` _Module_:get_atts/2`.
