% message sending and super call operators

% message sending to an explicit object
:- op(600, xfy, ::).
% message sending to "self"
:- op(600,  fy, ::).
% "super" call (calls an inherited or imported method definition)
:- op(600,  fy, ^^).


% mode operators

% input argument (instantiated); ISO Prolog standard operator
:- op(200, fy, (+)).
% input/output argument
:- op(200, fy, (?)).
% input argument (not modified by the call)
:- op(200, fy, (@)).
% output argument (not instantiated); ISO Prolog standard operator
:- op(200, fy, (-)).
% ground argument
:- op(200, fy, ++).
% unbound argument (typically when returning an opaque term)
:- op(200, fy, --).


% bitwise left-shift operator (used for context-switching calls)
% some backend Prolog compilers don't declare this ISO Prolog standard operator!
:- op(400, yfx, <<).

% bitwise right-shift operator (used for lambda expressions)
% some backend Prolog compilers don't declare this ISO Prolog standard operator!
:- op(400, yfx, >>).


% predicate alias operator (alternative to the ::/2 or :/2 operators depending on the context)
% first introduced in SWI-Prolog and YAP also for defining aliases to module predicates
:- op(700, xfx, as).
