<h2 id="sec:prolog_xref"><a id="sec:A.25"><span class="sec-nr">A.25</span> <span class="sec-title">library(prolog_xref):
Cross-reference data collection library</span></a></h2>
<a id="sec:prolog_xref"></a>
<a id="sec:lib:prologxref"></a>
<p>This library collects information on defined and used objects in
Prolog source files. Typically these are predicates, but we expect the
library to deal with other types of objects in the future. The library
is a building block for tools doing dependency tracking in applications.
Dependency tracking is useful to reveal the structure of an unknown
program or detect missing components at compile time, but also for
program transformation or minimising a program saved state by only
saving the reachable objects.
<p>This section gives a partial description of the library API,
providing some insight in how you can use it for analysing your program.
The library should be further modularized, moving its knowledge about,
for example, XPCE into a different file and allowing for adding
knowledge about other libraries such as Logtalk. <b>Please do not
consider this interface rock-solid.</b>
<p>The library is exploited by two graphical tools in the SWI-Prolog
environment: the XPCE front-end started by <a id="idx:gxref0:1961"></a><a class="pred" href="xref.html#gxref/0">gxref/0</a>
and described in
<a class="sec" href="xref.html">section 3.7</a>, and PceEmacs (<a class="sec" href="pceemacs.html">section
3.4</a>), which exploits this library for its syntax colouring.
<p>For all predicates described below, <var>Source</var> is the source
that is processed. This is normally a filename in any notation
acceptable to the file loading predicates (see <a id="idx:loadfiles2:1962"></a><a class="pred" href="consulting.html#load_files/2">load_files/2</a>).
Using the hooks defined in <a class="sec" href="prolog_xref.html">section
A.25.1</a> it can be anything else that can be translated into a Prolog
stream holding Prolog source text. <var>Callable</var> is a callable
term (see <a id="idx:callable1:1963"></a><a class="pred" href="typetest.html#callable/1">callable/1</a>).
Callables do not carry a module qualifier unless the referred predicate
is not in the module defined
<var>Source</var>.
<dl class="latex">
<dt class="pubdef"><a id="xref_source/1"><strong>xref_source</strong>(<var>+Source</var>)</a></dt>
<dd class="defbody">
Gather information on <var>Source</var>. If <var>Source</var> has
already been processed and is still up-to-date according to the file

<p><h3 id="sec:xrefhooks"><a id="sec:A.25.1"><span class="sec-nr">A.25.1</span> <span class="sec-title">Extending
the library</span></a></h3>
<a id="sec:xrefhooks"></a>
<p>The library provides hooks for extending the rules it uses for
finding predicates called by some programming construct.
<dl class="latex">
<dt class="pubdef"><a id="prolog:called_by/2"><strong>prolog:called_by</strong>(<var>+Goal,
-Called</var>)</a></dt>
<dd class="defbody">
<var>Goal</var> is a non-var subgoal appearing in the called object
(typically a clause body). If it succeeds it must return a list of goals
called by <var>Goal</var>. As a special construct, if a term <var>Callable+N</var>
is returned, <var>N</var> variable arguments are added to <var>Callable</var>
before further processing. For simple meta-calls a single fact suffices.
Complex rules as used in the <code>library(html_write)</code> library
provided by the HTTP package examine the arguments and create a list of
called objects.
<p>The current system cannot deal with the same name/arity in different
modules that behave differently with respect to called arguments.
