Suppose we are given a program P in some language L, and a set of inference rules based on unification that define the dynamic semantics of this language L. We propose a tactic for (partially) evaluating a given predicate in a set of inference rules, therefore proposing a new executable semantics to our rules. This tactic applied to P and to the dynamic semantics of L yields classically a new set of specialized inference rules that are a compiled version of P. Our partial evaluation tactic proposes and uses some original improvements, which are applicable to the general field of partial evaluation of unification-based languages.
