Description

The generic function interface-reuse-p returns a true value if interface is suitable for reuse with initargs .

interface-reuse-p is used by locate-interface if no matching interface is found first by interface-match-p. In this case, when there is an interface for which interface-reuse-p returns true, then locate-interface reinitializes it by reinitialize-interface and returns it.

Note: interface-reuse-p should not be confused with reuse-interfaces-p, which determines the global re-use state.
