make_local_array(++Array)

   Creates an array or global variable Array visible only in the caller
module.



Arguments
   Array               Atom or Ground compound term with integer arguments.

Type
   Obsolete

Description
   If Array is an atom, a global variable only visible from the caller
   module is created.  Its value is initialised to a free variable.


   If Array is a compound term, a local array of type prolog is created,
   its dimension is the arity of the term Array and the size of each
   dimension is specified by the corresponding argument of the term Array.
   The elements of arrays of type prolog are initialised to free variables.


Note
   make_local_array(A) is equivalent to make_local_array(A, prolog).




Modes and Determinism
   make_local_array(++) is det

Modules
   This predicate is sensitive to its module context (tool predicate, see @/2).

Exceptions
     4 --- Array is not ground.
     5 --- Array is not an atom or a structure with integer arguments.
     6 --- The ground structure Array has arguments that are integers    not greater than 0.
    42 --- A local array with the same name and dimension as Array    already exists.

Examples
   
Success:
      make_local_array(a).
      make_local_array(a(1)).
      make_local_array(a(4)).
      make_local_array(b(2,3)).
      make_local_array(a(4)), make_local_array(a(4,1)).
      make_local_array(a), make_local_array(a(1)).

Error:
      make_local_array(X).              (Error 4).
      make_local_array(a(6.0)).         (Error 5).
      make_local_array(a(0)).           (Error 6).
