LM-Prolog: Prolog implemented in ZetaLisp for Lisp
Machines.
lang/prolog/impl/prolog/lmprolog/
LM-Prolog is an implementation of Prolog for the MIT family of Lisp
Machines. The Prolog dialect differs quite a bit from the Edinburgh
Prolog family of dialects both in terms of syntax and built-in
predicates. The bulk of the code was written in 1983, when the
authors were at Uppsala University.
The implementation compiles Prolog predicates to Lisp functions, using
success continuations to emulate the Prolog control structure.
It is implemented in ZetaLisp and depends on features of ZetaLisp that
will make it hard to port to Common Lisp, such as locatives, invisible
pointers, and flavors.
Examples include a Concurrent Prolog interpreter, Warren's
benchmarks, Turtle graphics demos, and the Grammar Kit.
