Package

fli

Signature

get-embedded-module name filename

Arguments

name

A symbol.

filename

A pathname specifier for a file containing a dynamic foreign module.

Description

The function get-embedded-module gets the foreign module in filename and sets up an embedded dynamic module named name.

Notes

1. get-embedded-module is called at load time and has no effect except to set up the embedded module. To actually use the code in the module, you need to call install-embedded-module at run time.
2. The effect of get-embedded-module persists after save-image and deliver.
3. The module should not have dependencies on other non-standard modules, otherwise install-embedded-module may fail to install it.
4. To incorporate an embedded module into a fasl file (that is, to load it at compile time) you need to use both get-embedded-module-data (at compile time) and setup-embedded-module (at load time), instead of get-embedded-module.
5. get-embedded-module does not return a useful value.
