Learn MERCURY with Real Code Examples

Mercury compiler generates optimized native code

Tail recursion improves performance for recursive predicates

Minimize use of nondeterministic predicates when possible

Compiler warnings help detect inefficiencies

Memory management is automatic but can be tuned for large programs

Mercury itself is safe due to declarative semantics

Avoid unsafe foreign function interface (FFI) calls

Validate inputs for critical predicates

Limit external system access in logic programs

Use compiler checks to prevent unexpected runtime errors

Profile predicate execution

Check memory usage for large logic sets

Analyze recursive calls for efficiency

Use compiler warnings for optimization

Trace deterministic and non-deterministic paths

Strongly typed code with explicit modes

Exhaustive determinism declarations

Modular and maintainable structure

Comment predicates and logic rules

Test small predicates before integration
