As with all compiler switch variables, the value of this variable
can be t, nil, or a
function object that accepts four arguments and returns t or nil. The arguments
passed to the function will be the values of the safety, space, speed,
and debug optimization qualities, in that order. nil is equivalent to a function that always returns
nil and t to a
function that always returns t. When the
value is a function and we say t (or true) or
nil (or false) in the text below, we mean
that the function returns, respectively, t or
nil.
If true, the compiler will trust dynamic-extent declarations in
code and produce code (when it can) that is optimized given the
declarations. This switch is separated from the general trust-declarations-switch
because when using multiprocessing, trusting
dynamic-extent declarations
may be unsafe when trusting other declarations is safe.
Initially true when speed is greater than safety.
