We're involved in trying to come up with some efficient code in C to
do unification (actually a subset of full-blown unification) for a
natural language parser, and we've wondered more than once if we might
benefit from some good descriptions of Prolog compilation techniques
(looking at compiling a unification-based grammar). Clearly some of
the big boys in this game aren't about to share their secrets because
they're commercial enterprises: but can anybody provide me with some
useful references that are also generally available? Thanks.
