    Hello,

    I am looking for a way to create Deffacts through function-calls from C. Does anybody know how this could be implemented? I already created a feature request for it: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2067569&group_id=215471&atid=1033805

    Or is this nothing that is desirable? I think that the facts for Deffacts will be created faster when calling reset than a 'manual reset implementation' that creates the facts by calling assert.

    Can anybody comment on that?

    Thank you very much and greetings from Stuttgart/Germany,
    Tobias.

      You can use the Build function to create a construct from C. This is analogous to using the CLIPS build command. Since the facts in a deffacts have been pre-parsed, if you are calling reset more than once it would be faster using a deffacts than asserting the facts manually using the Assert function, but you might not see any significant difference since parsing the facts is typically faster than asserting them.

        Hello Gary,

        thanks for the hint. I have not been aware of the Build function which matches all my needs.

        Cheers, Tobias.
