Using derive macro

The crate provides a derive macro to help easing the use of rust data types as facts.

In your Cargo.toml add:

[dependencies]
clingo = { version = "0.6", features = ["derive"] }

In your source write:

use clingo::ToSymbol;
use clingo::ClingoError;
use clingo::FactBase;

#[derive(ToSymbol)]
struct MyPoint {
    x: i32,
    y: i32,
}

let p = MyPoint{ x:4, y:2 };
let fb = FactBase::new();
fb.insert(p);

The macro performs a conversion to snake case. This means the corresponing fact for MyPoint{x:4,y:2} is my_point(4,2).

Parallel build

It is possible to speed up the build of clingo, via parallel compilation. This is enabled by the feature parallel_build.

[dependencies]
clingo = { version = "0.6.0", features = ["parallel_build"] }

Using dynamic_linking

The crate defines a Cargo feature that allows to use the clingo library via dynamic linking.

With dynamic linking enabled the clingo library is not build for static linking but it is assumed that a clingo dynamic library is installed on the system.

The recommended way to use the optional dynamic linking support is as follows.

[dependencies]
clingo = { version = "0.6.0", features = ["derive", "dynamic_linking"] }
