I've just been browsing the docs & implementations of get_flag and set_flag. There seem to be a number of inconsistencies. The flag `default_language' is supported by both get_flag and set_flag, but is not documented. The flags `max_global_trail' and `max_local_control' are documented and returned by get_flag, but set_flag does not recognise them (other read-only flags print a message saying they're read only rather than giving a generic out-of-range error). A number of flags are valid for set_flag, but are not supported by get_flag and are not documented. Some are obsolete, and are simply ignored or print an error. They are: debugger_warnings default_language gc_incr global_size (prints error) load_release_delay max_vars_per_clause (ignored) parser_size (ignored) publishing_parameter statistics (obsolete) strip_variables (can only turn on!?!?) user_options (ignored) Strangely, `strip_variables' can only be turned on. I intend to fix this one (since I want to be able to turn it off for the IC tests), and while I'm at it I'll fix `max_global_trail' and `max_local_control'. The rest I'll claim I don't know enough about to tamper with the week before a release. :) Cheers, WarwickReceived on Thu Jun 07 19:55:42 2001
