(compile-file src [dest filter]) → path? src : path-string?
dest : path-string? =
(let-values ([(base name dir?) (split-path src)]) (build-path base "compiled" (path-add-suffix name #".zo"))) filter : (any/c . -> . any/c) = values
Compiles the Scheme file src and saves the compiled code to
dest. If dest is not provided and the
"compiled" subdirectory does not already exist, the
subdirectory is created. The result of compile-file is the
destination file’s path.
If the filter procedure is provided, it is applied to each source expression, and the result is compiled.
The compile-file procedure is designed for compiling modules files, in that each expression in src is compiled independently. If src does not contain a single module expression, then earlier expressions can affect the compilation of later expressions when src is loaded directly. An appropriate filter can make compilation behave like evaluation, but the problem is also solved (as much as possible) by the compile-zos procedure.
