Re: [eclipse-clp-users] help

Hi Rana,

I cannot really spend the time to look at your whole program in detail. I
can only provide help for specific points like why your program might be
aborting.

For this, I asked you to show your code for the check predicate (I did not
expect you to send your whole program), and also to say what you meant
exactly by your program aborting -- which you didn't answer.

I took a quick look at your check/4 predicate, and it is not clear how it
will lead to sharing. It is also unclear to me how it will lead to ECLiPSe
aborting, although it might lead to your program failing, is this what
happened -- failing is not the same as aborting.

I cannot really figure out what the intended meaning of your check/4 is --
it is called with a new variable Event in all the 4 arguments. Event is a
free variable at this point, and I suspect this is not what you intended.
If you are unfamiliar with Prolog, I strongly suggest that you learn Prolog
before attempting to write your application program.

Also, you can try to debug your own program using ECLiPSe's debugger/tracer
-- did you try this?

Cheers,

Kish
