[asdf-devel] Force reloading a .asd file without "touch" it
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, Chun Tian (binghe)

Does (asdf:clear-system :snmp) do what you need? Zach
Hi, Zach Amazing, it works. Just do a clear-system before load-system, it solves my need. Thank you! --binghe 在 2011-6-16，01:48， Zach Beane 写道：
