compile-unsaved-form

Function

Package: common-graphics

Arguments: form-or-form-module

Compiles and loads the code associated with the form specified by the argument (which can be a form or a form-module), using a temporary file. The default on-initialization function (which is default-init-function) calls compile-unsaved-form when a form being run has unsaved changes (that is, when modified returns true for the form) to allow running a form that has never been saved and to ensure that the form's running window is up to date. This is useful for quickly testing a project without first bothering to save whatever forms its on-initialization function runs.

A custom on-initialization function may want to include a similar call to compile-unsaved-form for these reasons.
