The CMUCL cross-referencing facility (abbreviated XREF) assists in the analysis of static dependency relationships in a program. It provides introspection capabilities such as the ability to know which functions may call a given function, and the program contexts in which a particular global variable is used. The compiler populates a database of cross-reference information, which can be queried by the user to know:
A global variable is either a dynamic variable or a constant variable,
for instance declared using defvar
or defparameter
or
defconstant
.
