Autolog development page


This webpage archives code development of the AutoLog programing system. AutoLog is an extended coherent-form logic prover. The parent system is colog14I. AutoLog uses a new input parser for an experimental coherent-form logic with coherent type terms and judgements, and parametric functor term expressions allowing impredicative terms. The system design stress indexicality analysis, which is implemented by the analyzer/compiler.



The Autolog Design Notebook (ADN) describes design requirements and specifications for the AutoLog inference programming system, as well as testing regimens. The ADN is a Pages generated document and is modified frequently. The ADN is a Lab notebook documenting system proposals and development issues.








The autolog app appears on the user's desktop and can be relocated by dragging. Double-click the app to open the Autolog editor, or drop an autolog source file on the app to open it in the editor. Use the editor's compile button to open the theory in the AutoLogViewer window.



CODE archive management

The current code archive may use Java 20 preview features:

Visit https://www.antlr.org to download manna from antlr. Download antlr jars :

~/antlr-4.12.0-complete.jar
~/antlr-runtime-4.12.0.jar
Use the complete jar for generating the parsers.
Read the aliases file in sam/antlr/autolog
to see how to generate parsers, compile sources and runs tests.

The autolog component autolog/org/ is extracted from antlr-runtime-4.12.0.jar as follows
jar -xf antlr-runtime-4.12.0.jar

The development versions are archived using makezip,

> source makezip <version>
This will store autolog<version>.zip in the autolog/ directory. Read the makezip file to see how it works.
NOTE: makezip removes compiled components (but NOT antlr-generated sources) before the zip.

Use build20 to recompile java components anytime (but not to generate parser-related java sources). Read the build20 file to see how it works.

> source build20

To run AutoLogApp (editor/viewer) enabling Java19 preview features one needs to use a command like

> java --enable-preview AutoLogApp &

I use JavApp mini IDE for Java projects.
The current java JDK version for Autolog development is given above, before the link to the current zip archive.

Current Testing Regimen using GUI Editor and Viewer and AutoLogAnalyzer:
Continue design/test for ADN, §6.6-6.12 regarding sam.machine.active components.

Any advantage for virtual threads, for concurrent inference components, seems unlikely at this time, but specific runtime experiments will continue. Similarly, structured concurrency employment needs to be tested when the inference manager (sam.machine.active.ActiveTree) becomes more functional.

The anticipated runnable autolog.jar components will need to use a non-preview JDK ...
