Abstract In this paper we describe a new constraint solver over finite domains that has recently been included in the SWI-Prolog distribution 1. Our solver generalises finite domain constraint solving towards unbounded domains, and thus enables a uniform approach to integer arithmetic and constraints. We ensure termination of all predicates, which facilitates termination proofs of constraint logic programs. The solver is written in Prolog and can be quite easily ported to other systems.
