3 Problems caused by unimplemented Mercury features

1. How can I avoid getting a compile-time error when I try to fill in a partially instantiated data structure?
   

   At the moment, you can create a partially instantiated data structure, but you can’t fill in the holes. The reason is that the code that does the filling in must temporarily alias two variables together, and the current mode checker does not allow this. This limitation will go away in the future.

   
   
2. I’m getting an error from the C compiler:

   foo.c:45: initializer is not computable at load time
   

   
   

   You’re using an old version of ‘gcc’. Check that the version of ‘gcc’ in your PATH is version 2.6.3 or later. Mercury does not (at the current time) support versions of gcc earlier than 2.6.3. (Using the ‘--no-static-ground-terms’ option may also solve this problem, but results in less efficient code.)
