directive

dynamic/0

Description

dynamic

Declares an entity and its contents as dynamic. Dynamic entities can be abolished at runtime.

As entities created at runtime (using the create_object/4, create_protocol/3, and create_category/4 built-in predicates) are always dynamic, this directive is only necessary in the rare cases where we want to define dynamic entities in source files.

Warning

Some backend Prolog compilers declare the atom dynamic as an operator for a lighter syntax, forcing writing this atom between parenthesis when using this directive.
