Hi, ASDF users
Any one know how to reload a .asd file without "touch" it to let it have a newer timestamp?
I have a snmp.asd file which contain the content of another file:
(defparameter *mib.lisp-expr* (with-open-file (s (merge-pathnames (make-pathname :name "mib" :type "lisp-expr") *load-truename*) :direction :input) (read s)))
(defsystem snmp ... :components ( ... (:module "compiled-mibs" :depends-on ("runtime") :components #.*mib.lisp-expr*)))
See, the DEFSYSTEM form is actually determined by another file. And I have a function which can update this another file, and after its content change, I want to re-load this snmp.asd to make the new DEFSYSTEM form take effect. Just call (asdf:load-system :snmp) obviously won't help.
How can I achieve this goal?
Thanks,
