built-in method
representation_error/1
Description
representation_error(Flag)
Throws a representation error. Used when some representation limit is exceeded. For example, trying to construct a compound term that exceeds the maximum arity supported by the backend Prolog system. This built-in method is declared private and thus cannot be used as a message to an object. Calling this predicate is equivalent to the following sequence of goals:
...,
context(Context),
throw(error(representation_error(Flag), Context)).
This allows the user to generate errors in the same format used by the runtime.
Possible values for Flag
include:
character
character_code
in_character_code
max_arity
max_integer
min_integer
acyclic_term
lambda_parameters
entity_prefix
Modes and number of proofs
