Until this point it sounds easy.

Bit positions those are not. They are bit values.

Those are bit positions:
accflag(0, public).
accflag(4, final).
accflag(5, super).
accflag(9, interface).
accflag(10, abstract).

> %% predicate to convert Value into a list of accflag/2 names.

My way:

access_flags(Value, Output) :-
    findall(X, flag_check(Value, X), Output).

flag_check(Value, Output) :-
    accflag(X, Output),
    g_assign(z, Value),
    g_test_set_bit(z, X).

Just out of curiosity, how do you count the time? From your first hello
world? From first year of working as programmer? Something else?
