8.8 ASDF

ASDF is a popular “system construction tool”. The package slime-asdf provides some commands to load and compile such systems from Emacs. ASDF itself is not included with SLIME; you have to load that yourself into your Lisp. In particular, you must load ASDF before you connect, otherwise you will get errors about missing symbols.

M-x slime-load-system NAME
Compile and load an ASDF system. The default system name is taken from the first file matching *.asd in the current directory.

The package also installs some new REPL shortcuts (see Shortcuts):

load-system
Compile (as needed) and load an ASDF system.
compile-system
Compile (but not load) an ASDF system.
force-compile-system
Recompile (but not load) an ASDF system.
force-load-system
Recompile and load an ASDF system.
