Hello(World) (version 2) |
This simple example shows the basic definition of the predicate hello/1 and how a Prolog argument is converted to C-data:
PREDICATE(hello, 1) { cout << "Hello " << A1.as_string() << endl; return true; }
The arguments to PREDICATE()
are the name and arity of the predicate. The macros A<n>
provide access to the predicate arguments by position and are of the
type PlTerm
. The C or C++ string for a PlTerm
can be extracted using as_string(),
or as_wstring() methods;26The
C-string values can be extracted from std::string
by using c_str(),
but you must be careful to not return a pointer to a local/stack value,
so this isn't recommende. and similar access methods
provide an easy type-conversion for most Prolog data-types, using the
output of write/1
otherwise:
?- hello(world). Hello world Yes ?- hello(X) Hello _G170 X = _G170
