This predicate performs the 52% following steps: 53% 54% 1. If Module is unbound, create a unique identifier for it. 55% 2. Turn Module into a _temporary_ module using set_module/1. 56% Note that this requires the module to be non-existent or 57% empty. If Module is specified, it should typically be set 58% to a unique value as obtained from e.g. uuid/1. 59% 3. Run Setup in the context of Module. 60% 4. If setup succeeded possible choice points are discarded 61% and Goal is started. 62% 63% The logical result of this predicate is the same as 64% `(Setup@Module -> Goal@Module)`, i.e., both Setup and Goal are 65% resolved relative to the current module, but executed in the 66% context of Module. If Goal must be called in Module, use 67% `call(Goal)`. 68% 69% The module and all its predicates are destroyed after Goal 70% terminates, as defined by setup_call_cleanup/3. 71% 72% *Discussion* This predicate is intended to load programs in an 73% isolated environment and reclaim all resources. This 74% unfortunately is incomplete: 75% 76% - Running the code may leave side effects such as creating 77% records, flags, changing Prolog flags, etc. The system 78% has no provisions to track this. 79% - So called _functors_ (name/arity pairs) are not yet subject 80% to garbage collection. Functors are both used to define 81% predicates and to create compound terms. 82% 83% @see library(sandbox) determines whether unknown goals are safe 84% to call. 85% @see load_files/2 offers the option sandboxed(true) to load code 86% from unknown sources safely. 87 88in_temporary_module(Module, Setup, Goal) :- 89 setup_call_cleanup( 90 prepare_temporary_module(Module), 91 ( @(Setup, Module) 92 -> @(Goal, Module) 93 ), 94 destroy_module(Module)). 95 96prepare_temporary_module(Module) :- 97 var(Module), 98 !, 99 ( thread_id(Tid), 100 repeat, 101 I is random(1<<62), 102 atomic_list_concat([tmp, Tid, I], -, Module), 103 catch(set_module(Module:class(temporary)), 104 error(permission_error(_,_,_),_), fail) 105 -> b_setval('$tmp_module', Module) 106 ). 107prepare_temporary_module(Module) :- 108 set_module(Module:class(temporary)), 109 b_setval('$tmp_module', Module). 110 111:- if(current_prolog_flag(threads, true)). 112thread_id(Id) :- 113 thread_self(Self), 114 thread_property(Self, id(Id)). 115:- else. 116thread_id(main). 117:- endif. 118 119destroy_module(Module) :- 120 retractall(system:'$load_context_module'(_File, Module, _Options)), 121 '$destroy_module'(Module). 122 123%! current_temporary_module(-Module) is semidet. 124% 125% True when we are executing in the given temporary module context. 126 127current_temporary_module(Module) :- 128 nb_current('$tmp_module', Module)
