% start by loading the example with the debug statements activated:

| ?- logtalk_load(debug_hooks(loader_debug)). ...

% debug the definition of the "object" predicate append/3:

| ?- object::append([1,2,3], [4,5], List). Recursive case: append([2, 3], [4, 5], _G340) Recursive case: append([3], [4, 5], _G347) Recursive case: append([], [4, 5], _G354) Base case: append([], [4, 5], [4, 5]) List = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. yes

% debug calls to the "object" predicate sum/2:

| ?- object::sum([1,2,3,_], S). Exception: error(instantiation_error, number::check(_G433), object)

| ?- object::sum([1,2,3,a], S). Exception: error(type_error(number, a), number::check(a), object)

| ?- object::sum(wrong, S). Exception: error(type_error(list, wrong), list::check(wrong), object)

% load the example with the debug statements discarded:

| ?- logtalk_load(debug_hooks(loader_production)). ...

% call the "object" predicate append/3 without the debugging statements:

| ?- object::append([1,2,3], [4,5], List). List = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. yes

% call the "object" predicate sum/2 without the debugging statements:

| ?- object::sum([1,2,3,_], S). Exception: instantiation_error

| ?- object::sum([1,2,3,a], S). Exception: type_error(evaluable, a/0)

| ?- object::sum(wrong, S). no
