The current implementation does not yet completely implement the
|
|
Mercury language. The main limitations of the current implementation
|
|
are the following:
|
|
|
|
* We do not allow definite aliasing in the mode system.
|
|
Without this, partially instantiated modes are unusable,
|
|
and so are nested unique modes :-(
|
|
|
|
* The compiler does not yet use structure reuse or compile-time
|
|
garbage collection to exploit unique modes :-(
|
|
|
|
* Type inference and mode inference are a bit imperfect.
|
|
|
|
We are working on eliminating all of these problems.
|
|
|
|
In addition, design decisions in this implementation have imposed the
|
|
following fixed limits:
|
|
|
|
* Predicates and functions can have at most about 1000 arguments.
|
|
|
|
* Higher order terms are limited to arity of about 500.
|
|
|
|
These limits can be lifted (with some effort), but would possibly incur
|
|
performance penalties. Contact the Mercury team (mercury@csse.unimelb.edu.au)
|
|
if you find these limits are affecting your application.
