Hello,

You are right, GNU Prolog uses bounded integers, whose bounds depend on the architecture (32/64 bits). You can know these limits with (e.g. on a 64 bits machine):

| ?- current_prolog_flag(min_integer,X).

X = -1152921504606846976

yes
| ?- current_prolog_flag(max_integer,X).

X = 1152921504606846975

yes

A workaround to store bigger integers is to spit them into 2 parts and for instance use a Prolog structure to record them.

Hello gnu-prolog users,

I am new to prolog and I just have a quick question..

So basically on my 32bit x64 Linux, It seems that in GNU-Prolog, integer has only 28bits, so code like below can't be compiled by gplc.

    X is 0xdeadbeef.

After a quick search, I still don't know how to use GNU-Prolog to handle big integer...

I might be able split a 32bit integer like 0xdeadbeef into two 16bit integers 0xdead and 0xbeef and concat when necessary, but is there any more convenient way to do this?


Best Regards,
Shuai
