Its the first time I seem to get an error related to the prolog / PDT / swipl-win.exe (one of them).
I have some short code that looks up a table for a predicate name and first argument (that was previously asserted), and does a call/2 call.
When i try to trace this, i get a small popup window in Eclipse / PDT environment with an infiinte loop – with one of the messages show in the subject line.
This runs for a little while until prolog traps.
This only happens on widnows – the same code runs on ubuntu ( on my notebook i work in ubuntu and on the desktop in windows 7, prolog 8.0.0.0 64 bit)
The main issue seems to be the definition of dynamic/1. Pushed a fix to prevent that, Users may redefine system predicates, but not the ISO ones. dynamic was not flagged as ISO though. By running check/0 you do get some info:
% Checking undefined predicates ...
Warning: The predicates below are not defined. If these are defined
Warning: at runtime using assert/1, use :- dynamic Name/Arity.
Warning:
Warning: the_call/2, which is referenced by
Warning: /home/jan/src/swipl-devel/linux/d.pl:11:0: 1-st clause of make_call/0
% Checking trivial failures ...
% Checking redefined system and global predicates ...
% dynamic/1 System predicate redefined globally
% Checking predicates with declarations but without clauses ...
% Checking predicates that need autoloading ...
i.e., it tells you the predicate is not dynamic and that dynamic/1 is redefined.
