Examples

An example where a hypothetic application would have some limitations that the user should be made aware when running on a backend Prolog compiler with bounded arithmetic:

:- if(current_prolog_flag(bounded, true)).

    :- initialization(
        logtalk::print_message(warning,app,bounded_arithmetic)
    ).

:- else.

    :- initialization(
        logtalk::print_message(comment,app,unbounded_arithmetic)
    ).

:- endif.
