DeclareOptimize

Overview

The OPTIMIZE declaration gives hints to the compiler about the code it produces. There are 5 possible parameters each dealing with a specific area of compilation, although some do interact. Each can take a value of 0 to 3 where 0 means that the compiler should pay no attention to that aspect to 3 which means the parameter is very important. The following table lists the parameter, the topic that discusses its implementation in detail, a brief definition, and the default level. All of these symbols are in the COMMON-LISP package.

Parameter	Topic	Definition	Default
DEBUG	OptimizeDebug?	mumble	2
SAFETY	OptimizeSafety?	mumble	1
SPACE	OptimizeSpace?	mumble	1
SPEED	OptimizeSpeed?	mumble	1
COMPILATION-SPEED	OptimizeCompilationSpeed?	mumble	0
