swank-source-file-cache.lisp

;;;; Source-file cache
;;;
;;; To robustly find source locations in CMUCL and SBCL it's useful to
;;; have the exact source code that the loaded code was compiled from.
;;; In this source we can accurately find the right location, and from
;;; that location we can extract a "snippet" of code to show what the
;;; definition looks like. Emacs can use this snippet in a best-match
;;; search to locate the right definition, which works well even if
;;; the buffer has been modified.
;;;
;;; The idea is that if a definition previously started with
;;; `(define-foo bar' then it probably still does.
;;;
;;; Whenever we see that the file on disk has the same
;;; `file-write-date' as a location we're looking for we cache the
;;; whole file inside Lisp. That way we will still have the matching
;;; version even if the file is later modified on disk. If the file is
;;; later recompiled and reloaded then we replace our cache entry.
;;;
;;; This code has been placed in the Public Domain.  All warranties
;;; are disclaimed.
