#124486 — ANN: Dogelog Player 2.3.2 (Schwartzian Transform)

Dear All,

We are happy to announce a new
edition of the Dogelog Player:

- Ehanced common:
Triggered by SWI-Prologs new built-ins,
we did a revision of library(cyclic) now
exposing term_minimal/2 and term_decompose/2.
Turns out we could also speed-up distinct/1
and aggregate/3, by using term_minimal/2
alone in the deduplication phase. And
then for aggregate/3 deploying a Schwartzian
Transform with term_decompose/2 in
the sorting phase.

- Enhanced top-level:
We also did a revision of the top-level.
For example answer substitutions are now
shown more compact, so that a query X = f(A,Y),
Y = f(B,X) can keep its shape. Further
the debugger now uses the visibility rules
of listing/[0,1]. Even overriding the
provenance of goals arguments and only
prompting in case they branch back
into user clauses.

- New undo/1:
Realizing the analogue to our recent rogue
'$CUT'/1 for cleanup goals, this time not
scanning the choice points but the variable
trail to find undo goals, we could arrive
at a undo/1. Because of atomicity concerns,
its not directly exposed, and subsequently
the user facing API has now new set_arg/3
and setup_undo/2 only.

Have Fun!

#124487 — The implementation of dif/2 with Open Trees (Was: ANN: Dogelog Player 2.3.2 (Schwartzian Transform))

Hi,

In the following we show that P(purity) has
currently almost zero probability, i.e that a
Prolog system will provide the first pillar of
purity, i.e. the dif/2 constraint. Even if a
Prolog system can deal with a large number of
dif/2 constraints, it might still fail
the reclamation test.

Testing Ulrich Neumerkels maplist(dif) problem
with a time limit of 1000 ms, we found Trealla
Prolog, EyeProlog and Scryer Prolog only
approached N=1000. While SWI-Prolog and Dogelog
Player climbed above N=1000000. Further a garbage
collection test was only survived by
Dogelog Player.

Bye
