This is a prolog compiler written in Common Lisp which compiles prolog code to bytecode of Warren's abstract machine (WAM).

I recommend using Steel Bank Common Lisp (SBCL). To start REPL, eval the following expression:

(load "wamcompiler.lisp")
(repl)

Input ';' to show the next solution, 'y' to stop finding solutions, or 'a' to show all solutions.

To show the compiled bytecode, eval the following expression:

(show-wamcode "predicate-name" predicate-arity)
