Hi,
I've just discovered CIAO prolog and am quite impressed! I'm trying to port
a
series of programs from Quintus prolog to CIAO, and I think the most
complicated
part of the port will be related to maximum atom length: CIAO insists on a
maximum of 512 characters, while Quintus (and I believe Sicstus) allow atom
values up to 64K. The programs will send data among Quintus and CIAO
processes using sockets, and I'm worried the limitation will break a lot of
code.
Would it be a good idea to look at changing this restriction inside of CIAO,
or
are there good reasons why 512 characters are as long at atoms should ever
be in CIAO?
Thanks,
Adam
