:- module(diag, [wam_instructions/2]).
/** Diagnostics library
The predicate `wam_instructions/2` _decompiles_ a predicate so that
we can inspect its Warren Abstract Machine (WAM) instructions.
In this way, we can verify and reason about compiled programs,
and detect opportunities for optimization.
For example, we have:
```
?- use_module(library(lists)).
true.
?- use_module(library(diag)).
true.
?- use_module(library(format)).
true.
?- wam_instructions(append/3, Is),
maplist(portray_clause, Is).
switch_on_term(1,external(1),external(2),external(6),fail).
try_me_else(4).
get_constant(level(shallow),[],x(1)).
get_value(x(2),3).
proceed.
trust_me(0).
get_list(level(shallow),x(1)).
unify_variable(x(4)).
unify_variable(x(1)).
get_list(level(shallow),x(3)).
unify_value(x(4)).
unify_variable(x(3)).
execute(append,3).
Is = [switch_on_term(1,external(1),external(2),external(6),fail)|...].
```
