Description

This library provides the following: The suspend pseudo-solver for arithmetic comparisons simply consists of suspending (lazy-checking) versions of all arithmetic comparisons (>/2, #>/2, etc). These all suspend until all their variables have been instantiated, then they wake up and test the condition, succeeding or failing as appropriate. Together with a search routine, this provides the means to implement simple test-and-generate algorithms.

The suspend-attribute is a basis for the implementation of similar user-defined data-driven computations that react to variable instantiation, variable binding, or general variable-constraining events. The suspend- attribute defines the following three suspension lists (and thus waking conditions) for a variable:

inst
woken when variable is instantiated.
bound
woken when variable is bound, even to an other variable.
constrained
woken when variable is (further) constrained. This is triggered by the notify_constrained built-in.
These three lists can be used as waking conditions in the suspend/3,4 built-in. Variables using the suspend-attribute do not have to be declared specially, the attribute is implicitly created when needed.
