.. _library_genint:

genint

The genint library implements predicates for generating positive integers in increasing order. The public predicates are declared synchronized to prevent race conditions when using a backend Prolog compiler with multi-threading support.

Loading

To load all entities in this library, load the loader.lgt file:

::

| ?- logtalk_load(genint(loader)).

Testing

To test this library predicates, load the tester.lgt file:

::

| ?- logtalk_load(genint(tester)).

Usage

The genint_core category implements the library predicates. This category is imported by the default genint object to provide application global named counters. To make the counters local and thus minimize the potential for counter name clashes, the category can be imported by one or more application objects. Use protected or private import to restrict the scope of the library predicates.
