The variable provides the default value for the libfasl keyword argument to cl:load. (libfasl is an Allegro CL-specific argument.)
The initial value of this variable is set when the image is created with build-lisp-image, using the presto argument.
Note: if an image is built with the value of the
presto argument nil, Allegro Presto
will not be enabled in that image and all functions will be fully
loaded regardless of the value of the
libfasl keyword argument to
load, and thus the value of *libfasl*.
Because much of the size saving obtained by Allegro Presto can be achieved with pll files and other techniques, and because Allegro Presto adds significant compexity to code and images, it is intended to remove the Allegro Presto facility in a future release.
See loading.htm for information on loading. See The Allegro Presto algorithm in loading.htm for specific information on libfasl loading and Allegro Presto.
