.zwc file execution question

.zwc file execution question

[Paul Lew]

If a script is zcompiled and a .zwc is generated.  Will the following
command read it?

	. zsh-script

Will it read zsh-script.zwc or I have to use:

	. zsh-script.zwc

Thanks in advance.

That's what the doc says:  If the .zwc is newer, that's what gets read.

If it doesn't seem to be working that way, notify zsh-workers.

A quick test:
   echo "echo foo" > ZSHTEST
   zcompile ZSHTEST
   echo "echo bar" > ZSHTEST
   # wait a second or so
   touch ZSHTEST.zwc
   . ./ZSHTEST

If it says "foo", the compile version is used (as is here), if it says
"bar", you found a bug worth to be reported :-)

Ciao,
Thomas
