compile-file-pathname (original) (raw)

ANSI Common Lisp 24 System Construction 24.2 Dictionary of System Construction

Syntax:

compile-file-pathname input-file &key output-file &allow-other-keys pathname

Arguments and Values:

input-file - a pathname designator. (Default fillers for unspecified components are taken from*default-pathname-defaults*.)

output-file - a pathname designator. The default is implementation-defined.

pathname - a pathname.

Description:

Returns the pathname that compile-file would write into, if given the same arguments.

The defaults for the _output-file_are taken from the _pathnamethat results from merging the input-file_with the value of *default-pathname-defaults*, except that the type component should default to the appropriateimplementation-defined default type for compiled files.

If input-file is a logical pathname and _output-file_is unsupplied, the result is a logical pathname. If input-file is a logical pathname, it is translated into a physical pathname as if by calling translate-logical-pathname. If input-file is a stream, the stream can be either open or closed.compile-file-pathname returns the same pathname after a file is closed as it did when the file was open. It is an error if input-file is a stream that is created with make-two-way-stream, make-echo-stream, make-broadcast-stream, make-concatenated-stream,make-string-input-stream, make-string-output-stream.

If an implementation supports additional keyword arguments to compile-file, compile-file-pathname must accept the same arguments.

Examples:

See logical-pathname-translations.

Exceptional Situations:

An error of type file-error might be signaled if either input-file or_output-file_ is wild.
