PART V - Assertions, Properties, Types, Modes, Comments (assertions)
Author(s): The CLIP Group.
Ciao allows annotating the program code with assertions. Such assertions include type and instantiation mode declarations, but also more general properties as well as comments for autodocumentation in the literate programming style. These assertions document predicates (and modules and whole applications) and can be used by the Ciao preprocessor/compiler while debugging and optimizing the program or library, and by the Ciao documenter to build program or library reference manuals.
