Previous: CHR Constraint Declaration, Up: CHR in Prolog Programs


10.8.3.3 Compilation

The Prolog CHR compiler exploits user:term_expansion/6 rules to translate the constraint handling rules to plain Prolog. These rules are loaded from library(chr). They are activated after finding a declaration of the format:

     :- chr_constraint ...

It is advised to define CHR rules in a module-file, where the module declaration is immediately followed by loading library(chr) as exemplified below:

     :- module(zebra, [ zebra/0 ]).
     :- use_module(library(chr)).
     
     :- chr_constraint ...
