7.7.2 Recording definitions and redefinition checking

The location information is entered into the database when the definition is executed, by the defining function calling dspec:record-definition .

Note: you should not need to call dspec:record-definition , since all the system-provided definers call it. Only new classes of definition should call dspec:record-definition .

dspec:record-definition performs various checks, and returns true or false depending on whether the definition was allowed or not. In particular, it checks if the same name has already been defined in a different location and if so a warning or error can be signalled. See the entry in the LispWorks Reference Manual for details.
