The current_atom/1 and current_functor/2 assumes that you somewhere have stored a set of atoms or functors. What set???? In practice those two predicates are meaningless and should not be implemented. Tables for atoms, numbers, functors, predicates, etc have to be garbage collected in any system that claim to be a commercial product. All data areas (tables and stack) shall also shrink on garbage collection. -- Roland Karlsson SICS, PO Box 1263, S-164 28 KISTA, SWEDEN Internet: roland@sics.se Tel: +46 8 752 15 40 Ttx: 812 61 54 SICS S Fax: +46 8 751 72 30
