<p>Each Common Lisp implementation has its own format
|
||
|
for compiled files or fasls.<a id="DOCF14" href="Controlling-where-ASDF-saves-compiled-files.html#FOOT14"><sup>14</sup></a>
|
||
|
If you use multiple implementations
|
||
|
(or multiple versions of the same implementation),
|
||
|
you’ll soon find your source directories
|
||
|
littered with various <samp>fasl</samp>s, <samp>dfsl</samp>s, <samp>cfsl</samp>s and so
|
||
|
on.
|
||
|
Worse yet, multiple implementations use the same file extension and
|
||
|
some implementations maintain the same file extension
|
||
|
while changing formats from version to version (or platform to
|
||
|
platform).
|
||
|
This can lead to many errors and much confusion
|
||
|
as you switch from one implementation to the next.
|
||
|
Finally, this requires write access to the source directory,
|
||
|
and therefore precludes sharing of a same source code directory between multiple users.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<p>Since ASDF 2, ASDF includes the <code>asdf-output-translations</code> facility
|
||
|
to mitigate the problem.
