[asdf-devel] Performance hit in TRUENAMIZE

[Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll]

Why using TRUENAME + ERROR + HANDLER-CASE instead of PROBE-FILE?

I have been tracking a completely unrelated bug in ECL but found that for
loading all files ASDF calls TRUENAME with the names of FASLs that do not
exist. It finds out that by catching the corresponding error and then tries
something else.

Throwing and catching errors is costly. Why doing that instead of using
PROBE-FILE?
