compile.ss: Compiling Files
To load: (require (lib "compile.ss"))
(compile-file src [dest filter]) PROCEDURE
Compiles the Scheme file src and saves the compiled code
to dest. If dest is not specified, a filename is
constructed by taking src's directory path, adding
a compiled subdirectory, and then adding src's filename
with its suffix replaced by .zo. Also, if dest is not
provided and the compiled subdirectory does not already exist,
the subdirectory is created. If the filter procedure is
provided, it is applied to each source expression and the result is
compiled (otherwise, the identity function is used as the
filter). The result of compile-file is the destination
file's path.
The compile-file procedure is designed for compiling modules
files; each expression in src is compiled independently. If
src does not contain a single module expression, then
earlier expressions can affect the compilation of later expressions
when src is loaded directly. An appropriate filter can
make compilation behave like evaluation, but the problem is also
solved (as much as possible) by the compile-zos procedure
provided by the compiler collection's compiler.ss
module.
