OK.  But why do you need to do<br>
(member :foo *features*)<br>
instead of<br>
#+foo<br>
?<br>
That was the original question.<br></blockquote></div><br>Simple: because the user may switch compilers at run time at any time he/she wishes. This is quite typical in Windows, where the bytecodes compiler is active by default because many people do not have a C compiler in their PC.<br>

<br>Using #+ hardcodes the behavior in ASDF. This would be short-sighted: the same ASDF library can handle multiple compilers without needing to re-load it again.<br><br>Juanjo<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Instituto de Física Fundamental, CSIC<br>
