8.8 ASDF

ASDF is a popular “system construction tool”. The package slime-asdf provides some commands to load and compile such systems from Emacs. ASDF itself is not included with SLIME; you have to load that yourself into your Lisp. In particular, you must load ASDF before you connect, otherwise you will get errors about missing symbols.

M-x slime-load-system NAME
Compile and load an ASDF system. The default system name is taken from the first file matching *.asd in the current directory.
M-x slime-reload-system NAME
Recompile and load an ASDF system without recompiling its dependencies.
M-x slime-open-system NAME &optional LOAD
Open all files in a system, optionally load it if LOAD is non-nil.
M-x slime-browse-system NAME
Browse files in a system using Dired.
M-x slime-delete-system-fasls NAME
Delete FASLs produced by compiling a system.
M-x slime-rgrep-system NAME REGEXP
Run rgrep on the base directory of an ASDF system.
M-x slime-isearch-system NAME
Run isearch-forward on the files of an ASDF system.
M-x slime-query-replace-system NAME FROM TO &OPTIONAL DELIMITED
