Loads into the image all appropriate files from the directory
patches
in the directory determined by
*lispworks-directory*
, and then loads the file
private-patches/load.lisp
where load forms for any private patches may be placed. When the appropriate patches have successfully been loaded, the updated version of the image can be saved using save-image.
You should call
load-all-patches
before starting the LispWorks IDE. Thus, you normally place the call to this function in your
.lispworks
file.
The system expects all patches to be loaded sequentially. If a patch is missing, there is a warning message. In this situation, it is advisable to contact Lisp Support to obtain a copy of the missing patch.
