Re: [eclipse-clp-users] Events

Hi Bogdan,

Your questions now are probably too specific for posting to the mailing 
list -- please send them to me only, unless you feel very strongly they 
are of general interest to others on the mailing list.

The one thing I think is of general interest is to say I think your 
message illustrate why you should write your ECLiPSe code in ECLiPSe 
rather than C: it is much less readable in C, and finding out what goes 
on when you run the goal(s) is also much more difficult --in your case 
why you are getting the PTHROW error.

You are getting the PTHROW error because an (ECLiPSe) error was raised 
when executing your posted goals. Any error message should have been 
sent to the (ECLiPSe) error stream. Did you connect this stream to any C 
I/O stream so that you can see the error? (If not, outputs to the error 
stream would go to stderr, which might not be displayed when you are 
running a C program).

You seem to be trying to run the following goals:

create_module(sched).
use_module(sched).

This is a bit strange -- I am not sure why you called create_module/1 
before use_module/1 -- normally the module would be created and defined 
by the file sched.ecl that you are loading via use_module/1, so there is 
no reason for an explicit create_module before this. [In fact, 
create_module/1 should not normally be used, see its documentation]

Without knowing more details about what you are doing, it is difficult 
to be sure what is wrong. However, I think the most likely reasons for 
your problem is either

1) you already have the module sched defined when you called the above 
goals, or

2) that there is something wrong in your file sched.ecl, which is 
causing the compilation of the file to abort

You should try and see what error messages you are getting 
(alternatively, you can try and run use_module(sched) from an actual 
ECLiPSe top-level and see what happens).

Cheers,

Kish
