write-codevectors

Function

Package: system

Arguments: fname &optional verbose

This function creates a file named fname and writes all heap-allocated code vectors for heap-allocated functions to it. (Our convention is that the filename should have the extension .cvs.) The code vectors written to file are not flushed from the heap, as with flush-codevectors, they are just written to file. The file written is appropriate as a command-line argument to the program cvdcvt to create a pll file. system:write-codevectors cannot extend or append to an existing code-vector file, so different output filenames should be used if this function is called more than once.

If the verbose argument is specified true, information about what is written to file will be printed.

See miscellaneous.htm for information on pll files.

The documentation is described in introduction.htm and the index is in index.htm.
