CMUCL supports the with-compilation-unit
macro added to the
language by the X3J13 cleanup “with-compilation-unit”.
This provides a mechanism for eliminating spurious undefined
warnings when there are forward references across files, and also
provides a standard way to access compiler extensions.
This macro evaluates the forms in an environment that causes warnings for undefined variables, functions and types to be delayed until all the forms have been evaluated. Each keyword value is an evaluated form. These keyword options are recognized:
:override
If uses of with-compilation-unit
are
dynamically nested, the outermost use will take precedence,
suppressing printing of undefined warnings by inner uses.
However, when the override
option is true this shadowing is
inhibited; an inner use will print summary warnings for the
compilations within the inner scope.
:optimize
This is a CMUCL extension that specifies of the
“global” compilation policy for the dynamic extent of the body.
The argument should evaluate to an optimize
declare form,
like:
(optimize (speed 3) (safety 0))
:optimize-interface
Similar to :optimize
, but
specifies the compilation policy for function interfaces (argument
count and type checking) for the dynamic extent of the body.
See The Optimize-Interface Declaration.
:context-declarations
This is a CMUCL extension that
pattern-matches on function names, automatically splicing in any
appropriate declarations at the head of the function definition.
See :context-declarations
.
