EXPORT goal(void). call(goal(arguments))
call(Goal) (i)
void(Goal) (i) the goal or compound goal to be called
Standard PROLOG call predicate.
Call() is able to call all 'exported' predicates. Goal may consist of compound goals. The number of
arguments of the called predicates is restricted to 10. This restriction only applies to the 'top
level' of the predicate. Any Argument itself may be a struct and contain an unlimited amount
components.
In most PROLOG implementations a call just fails if the predicate called does not exists.
However, in BAP we issue a warning because in most cases you call a not available predicate it
is due to a program error. You may check the existence of a predicate by the use of the
exists
() predicate, thus avoiding this warning.
If you call predicates that are defined in different modules, you may have to ensure that these
modules are loaded already.
read(X),read(Y), call(( X ; Y )). read(X), exists(X), call(X).
Warning and failure if the Goal predicate is not currently available in the symbol table.
