Re: 5 Minutes Implementation of Prolog catch/3 and throw/1 (Re: Dogelog in the Park: A Barriered Statechart Simulator)

Hi,

Dogelog Player is a Prolog system for the
JavaScript, Python and Java target, mostly
written in 100% Prolog itself. So far we only
provided once_cleanup/2 to deal with resource
managment. It turns out we could secure a
call_cleanup/2 through a simple mechanism.

Drawing on a phrasing in a BIM Prolog document
from 1984, we could implement the post-N215
semantics of call_cleanup/2. Since we had
eliminated the native stack use from catch/3,
we could again apply patterns of continuation
manipulation for events in the continuation.

Bye
