This library is typically used to fetch values from the context or process results depending on the context. For example, assume we parse a (large) file using a grammar (see phrase_from_file/3) that has some sort of _record_ structure. What should we do with the recognised records? We can return them in a list, but if the input is large this is a huge overhead if the records are to be asserted or written to a file. Using this interface we can use ``` document --> record(Record), !, { send_signal(record(Record)) }, document. document --> []. ``` Given the above, we can assert all records into the database using the following query: ``` ..., intercept(phrase_from_file(File, document), record(Record), assertz(Record)). ``` Or, we can collect all records in a list using intercept_all/4: ``` ..., intercept_all(Record, phrase_from_file(File, document), record(Record), Records). ``` */ :- meta_predicate intercept(0,?,0), intercept(0,?,1,?), intercept_all(?,0,?,-), nb_intercept_all(?,0,?,-). %! intercept(:Goal, ?Ball, :Handler) % % Run Goal as call/1. If somewhere during the execution of Goal % send_signal/1 is called with a _Signal_ that unifies with Ball, run % Handler and continue the execution. % % This predicate is related to catch/3, but rather than aborting the % execution of Goal and running Handler it continues the execution of % Goal. This construct is also related to _delimited continuations_ % (see reset/3 and shift/1). It only covers one (common) use case for % delimited continuations, but does so with a simpler interface, at % lower overhead and without suffering from poor interaction with the % cut. % % Note that Ball and Handler are _copied_ before calling the (copy) of % Handler to avoid instantiation of Ball and/or Handler which can make % a subsequent signal fail. % % @see intercept/4, reset/3, catch/4, broadcast_request/1. % @compat Ciao intercept(Goal, Ball, Handler) :- do_intercept(Goal, Ball, Handler, args). %! intercept(:Goal, ?Ball, :Handler, +Arg) % % Similar to intercept/3, but the copy of Handler is called as % call(Copy,Arg), which allows passing large context arguments or % arguments subject to unification or _destructive assignment_.
