Public predicates
-----------------

.. index:: dif/2
.. _coroutining/0::dif/2:

``dif/2``
^^^^^^^^^

Sets a constraint that is true iff the two terms are different.

| **Compilation flags:**
|    ``static``

| **Template:**
|    ``dif(Term1,Term2)``
| **Mode and number of proofs:**
|    ``dif(+term,+term)`` - ``zero_or_one``


------------

.. index:: dif/1
.. _coroutining/0::dif/1:

``dif/1``
^^^^^^^^^

Sets a set of constraints that are true iff all terms in a list are different.

| **Compilation flags:**
|    ``static``

| **Template:**
|    ``dif(Terms)``
| **Mode and number of proofs:**
|    ``dif(+list(term))`` - ``zero_or_one``


------------

.. index:: freeze/2
.. _coroutining/0::freeze/2:

``freeze/2``
^^^^^^^^^^^^

Delays the execution of a goal until a variable is bound.

| **Compilation flags:**
|    ``static``

| **Template:**
|    ``freeze(Variable,Goal)``
| **Meta-predicate template:**
|    ``freeze(*,0)``
| **Mode and number of proofs:**
|    ``freeze(+term,+callable)`` - ``zero_or_more``


------------

.. index:: frozen/2
.. _coroutining/0::frozen/2:

``frozen/2``
^^^^^^^^^^^^

Unifies ``Goal`` with the goal delayed by ``Variable``. When no goals are frozen on ``Variable``, ``Goal`` is unified with true.

| **Compilation flags:**
|    ``static``

| **Template:**
|    ``frozen(Variable,Goal)``
| **Mode and number of proofs:**
|    ``frozen(@var,--callable)`` - ``one``


------------

.. index:: when/2
.. _coroutining/0::when/2:

``when/2``
^^^^^^^^^^

Calls ``Goal`` when ``Condition`` becomes true. The portable conditions are: ``nonvar/1``, ``ground/1``, ``(,)/2``, and ``(;)/2``.

| **Compilation flags:**
|    ``static``

| **Template:**
|    ``when(Condition,Goal)``
| **Meta-predicate template:**
|    ``when(*,0)``
| **Mode and number of proofs:**
|    ``when(+callable,+callable)`` - ``zero_or_more``
