Hi Jasper,
you are right, gplc (which is called by consult) has problems to compile large
terms containing many nested structures or lists (floats appearing inside
compound terms are considered as structures). This would not occur with atoms
or integers.
The problems comes from the register allocated. I have to rewrite this part.
The best I can suggest is to avoid the compilation, and instead read it and
assert it. BTW you file contains B = … thus you cannot consult nor assert it
since =/2 is a built-in predicate.
Example (I assert q(B = …)):
open('big.pl', read, Stream), read(X,Clause), assertz(q(Clause)), close(Stream).
then you can call:
q(X).
If you need to refer q/1 from a Prolog program, add in this program
:- dynamic(q/1).
you can add a directive
:- initialization(load_big).
load_big :-
open('big.pl', read, Stream),
read(X,Clause),
assertz(q(Clause)),
close(Stream).
Obviously you can read several clauses and add them using a repeat-fail loop.
Hope this helps.
Daniel
