ABSTRACT

A static analysis of Prolog programs was made for the purposes of revealing the behavior of Prolog programs and of getting useful information for system design. This analysis consists of two parts: one analyzes general aspects of Prolog programs, the other evaluates some compiler techniques which have a great deal of interest. This work has been done using a program written in Prolog, which collects data from test programs. This document summarizes the results of this static analysis.
