I am using prolog-mode in Emacs 25.2. The following code shows that the
inferior prolog process is not available when prolog-inferior-mode-hook
is run:

(add-hook 'prolog-inferior-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (unless (get-buffer-process (current-buffer))
              (warn "NO PROCESS!"))))

When I have above in my ~/.emacs, and when I start the Prolog REPL using
M-x run-prolog, the warning "NO PROCESS!" will appear, showing that the
inferior prolog process in not available when the hook is run.

I don't get this problem with the inferior mode hooks of other
programming languages (e.g. inferior-python-mode-hook,
inferior-lisp-mode-hook, inferior-scheme-mode-hook, etc.); their process
is available when their hook is run. I assume that there is problem with
prolog-mode.

Is it a requirement for a buffer in a inferior-mode to always have a
process? 
When you call run-prolog or prolog-consult-buffer, if a prolog process
is not running, a *prolog* buffer is created, prolog-inferior-mode is
activated in the buffer and THEN the process itself is run. Relevant code
from prolog-ensure-process function.

      (with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "*prolog*")
	(prolog-inferior-mode)
...
          (apply 'make-comint-in-buffer "prolog" (current-buffer)
	         (prolog-program-name) nil (prolog-program-switches)))

I assume this was required because (prolog-inferior-mode) sets up the
variables required for (prolog-program-name) and (prolog-program-switches).

If the relevant variables are inherited from the buffer from which run-prolog is
called then, this bug fix[1] will remove this dependency and prolog-inferior-mode
can be activated after the process is created.

Those are computed before we enter prolog-inferior-mode, though...  Oh,
because you've fixed that in an earlier applied patch.

OK, then I'm applying this patch to Emacs 29, which should fix this bug
