WHAT'S NEW

SwiPICs updated to support SWI-Prolog Version 8.0.3-1 32bit and 64bit

        An interface from .Net languages to SWI-Prolog

This library is a .Net (CSharp) interface to SWI-Prolog. The described
interface provides a layer around the C-interface for natural programming from C#. The interface deals with automatic type-conversion to and from Prolog, mapping of exceptions and making queries to Prolog in an easy way. There is a call-back from Prolog to C#.

WEB-HOME

    The documantation is at
    http://www.lesta.de/prolog/swiplcs/Generated/Index.aspx

    The binaries are available at 
    http://www.lesta.de/prolog/swiplcs/download/index.htm

If you want to compile SwiplCs only the project SwiPlCs is needed.

To work with Visual Studio install 'Visual Studio Tools for Git' in the Tools - 'Extensions and Updates' menu and connect to https://github.com/SWI-Prolog/contrib-swiplcs

Add the following lines to .git\info\exlude if you like to commit something .sdf .opensdf

SWI_HOME_DIR has to be set as an environment variable to the SWI-Prolog installation Path.

PATH the bin directory of SWI-Prolog has to be added to the PATH environment variable.

Compiler switches

The following compiler switches are in the sources:

_PL_X64 Maintained by the project files (.csproj). If defined a 64-bit version is compiled
_LINUX Not maintained!
_DEBUG in SWI-cs-PlQuery.cs. Write an Exception to the Console / trace window. The release version throw the Exception.
USE_PRINT_MESSAGE debugging purpose in exceptions.cs

Build binaries

To Build the binaries the batch script build_bin_package.bat in the project SwiPlCs-Documentation can be used. Therefor winrar must be installed at c:\programme\winrar\winrar and the Sandcastle Help File Builder (shfb) must be installed.

64-Bit

To run the test on a 64-Bit environment got to the Test menu

'Test settings' - 'Default Processor Architecture' - chose X64

Known BUGs

64-Bit:

test cases for Prolog call back with war args (t_varargs_single, t_varargs) are not running see remarks on DelegateParameterVarArgs in SWI-cs.cs
