-- Stack based Prolog inference engine
-- Mark P. Jones November 1990, modified for Gofer 20th July 1991
--
-- uses Gofer version 2.28
--
version = "stack based"
--- Calculation of solutions:
-- the stack based engine maintains a stack of triples (s,goal,alts)
-- corresponding to backtrack points, where s is the substitution at that
-- point, goal is the outstanding goal and alts is a list of possible ways
-- of extending the current proof to find a solution. Each member of alts
-- is a pair (tp,u) where tp is a new subgoal that must be proved and u is
-- a unifying substitution that must be combined with the substitution s.
--
-- the list of relevant clauses at each step in the execution is produced
-- by attempting to unify the head of the current goal with a suitably
-- renamed clause from the database.
type Stack = [ (Subst, [Term], [Alt]) ]
type Alt = ([Term], Subst)
alts :: Database -> Int -> Term -> [Alt]
alts db n g = [ (tp,u) | (tm:-tp) <- renClauses db n g, u <- unify g tm ]
-- The use of a stack enables backtracking to be described explicitly,
-- in the following `state-based' definition of prove:
prove :: Database -> [Term] -> [Subst]
prove db gl = solve 1 nullSubst gl []
where
solve :: Int -> Subst -> [Term] -> Stack -> [Subst]
solve n s [] ow = s : backtrack n ow
solve n s (g:gs) ow
| g==theCut = solve n s gs (cut ow)
| otherwise = choose n s gs (alts db n (app s g)) ow
choose :: Int -> Subst -> [Term] -> [Alt] -> Stack -> [Subst]
choose n s gs [] ow = backtrack n ow
choose n s gs ((tp,u):rs) ow = solve (n+1) (u@@s) (tp++gs) ((s,gs,rs):ow)
backtrack :: Int -> Stack -> [Subst]
backtrack n [] = []
backtrack n ((s,gs,rs):ow) = choose (n-1) s gs rs ow
--- Special definitions for the cut predicate:
theCut :: Term
theCut = Struct "!" []
cut :: Stack -> Stack
cut (top:(s,gl,_):ss) = top:(s,gl,[]):ss
cut ss = ss
