/** <module> Some traditional Edinburgh predicates

This module defines  predicates  from   `traditional  Edinburgh  Prolog'

Standard Prolog.

%!  display(+Term) is det.
%!  display(+Stream, +Term) is det.
%
%   Write a term, ignoring operators and  special syntax constructs such
%   as _brace terms_ (`{a}`) and lists (`[a,b,c]`). Currently does print
%   dicts using the dict notation.
%
%   @see  write_canonical/2.  SWI-Prolog's  write_canonical/2,  however,
%   prints lists using lst notation to reduce incompatibility due to the
%   modified list functor (`'[|]'` rather than   `.`)  and reduce memory
%   usage while parsing lists.

display(Term) :-
    display(current_output, Term).
display(Stream, Term) :-
    write_term(Stream, Term,
               [ quoted(true),
                 ignore_ops(true),
                 no_lists(true),
                 brace_terms(true)
               ]).

%!  unknown(-Old, +New) is det.
%
%   Edinburgh Prolog predicate for dealing dealing with undefined
%   procedures

unknown(M:Old, M:New) :-
    current_prolog_flag(M:unknown, O),
    map_unknown(O, Old),
    map_unknown(N, New),
    !,
    set_prolog_flag(M:unknown, N).

map_unknown(error,   trace).
map_unknown(warning, trace).
map_unknown(fail,    fail).

%!  reconsult(+FileOrList) is det.
%
%   Load source file(s), wiping the  old content first. SWI-Prolog's
%   consult/1 and related predicates always do this.
%
%   @deprecated The Edinburgh Prolog consult/reconsult distinction
%   is no longer used throughout most of the Prolog world.

reconsult(File) :-
    consult(File).

%!  debug is det.
%!  nodebug is det.
%
%   Switch on/off debug mode.  Note that nodebug/0 has been defined
%   such that is is not traced itself.

debug   :- set_prolog_flag(debug, true).
nodebug :- notrace, set_prolog_flag(debug, false).

:- '$hide'(nodebug/0).

%!  fileerrors(-Old, +New) is det.
%
%   Query and change the  fileerrors  flag.   Default  it  is set to
%   =true=, causing file operations to   raise an exception. Setting
%   it to =false=  activates  the  old   Edinburgh  mode  of  silent
%   failure.
%
%   @deprecated     New code should use catch/3 to handle file errors
%                   silently

fileerrors(Old, New) :-
    current_prolog_flag(fileerrors, Old),
    (   Old == New
