Re: Literal quote character causes exception.

Nicolas,

after looking carefully at the ISO standard, there is no bug here. ISO says the syntax is:

0'<single quoted char>

where <single quoted char> is a character that could appear in a quoted string. So if you want to use ' inside either you have to write it twice ('') or to escape it \'

You should use one of the valid forms: 0''' or 0'\'

I agree the result is not very nice...
In 1.3.2 I will relax the lexer to also accept 0'' (to remain compatible with other Prolog systems).

Hello,

I found the following behaviour both in GNU Prolog 1.3.1 and GNU

I expected the substitution X = 39 as the result of my query. Would
you please look into this problem ?

Thanks in advance.
