Syntax

Macro: use-foreign-library name

Arguments and values

name

A library designator; unevaluated.

Description

See load-foreign-library, for the meaning of “library designator”. This is intended to be the top-level form used idiomatically after a define-foreign-library form to go ahead and load the library. Finally, on implementations where the regular evaluation rule is insufficient for foreign library loading, it loads it at the required time.15

Examples

See Loading foreign libraries.
