compile.ss: Compiling Files
(compile-file src [dest filter]) PROCEDURE
Compiles the Scheme file src and saves the compiled code to
dest. If dest is not specified, a filename is constructed
by taking src's directory path, adding a compiled
subdirectory, and then adding src's filename with its suffix
replaced by .zo. Also, if dest is not provided and the
compiled subdirectory does not already exist, the subdirectory
is created. If the filter procedure is provided, it is applied
to each source expression and the result is compiled (otherwise, the
identity function is used as the filter).
The compile-file function is designed for compiling modules
files; each expression in src is compiled independently. If
src does not contain a single module expression, then
earlier expressions can affect the compilation of later expressions
when src is loaded directly. An appropriate filter can
make compilation behave like evaluation, but the problem is also
solved (as much as possible) by the compile-zos function
provided by the compiler collection's compiler.ss
module.
