7 The Compiler

7.6 Compiler parameters affecting LispWorks

There are six compiler parameters that control the generation of information used by various LispWorks utilities, such as the debugger, and also by various editor commands, such as Show Paths From. By default, these parameters are allt, which allows you to use all the features of these utilities, at the expense of increasing compilation times.

These variables are initially set tot (in the configuration fileconfigure.lisp). To speed up compilation times, you should set these variables tonil. The variables can be controlled as a group by using the "master-toggle" functionlispworks:toggle-source-debugging. See under this function in the LispWorks Reference Manual for details of all the variables that it controls.
