Where to dump all functions/compctls/etc?

Where to dump all functions/compctls/etc?

[Jarkko Maja]

Hi,

I googled for a little while and I'm still unsure:
where should I put my function definitions, completion
controls, environment settings etc to minimize
terminal start-up/login overhead?

I think these are obvious:

/etc/zshenv, ~/.zshenv: only most crucial system and
user env settings
/etc/logout, ~/.zlogout: stuff to be executed at
logout

Currently I have only a dozen lines of env settings at
/etc/zshenv and ~/.zshenv both, zero at /etc/zlogout
and ~/.zlogout and over 800 at ~/.zshrc
("everything"). Is there any point to move some stuff
to ~/.zprofile? Are there some cases with my current
setup where functions/compctls etc are read twice?

Any URL to a document will do also fine. (Yes, I read
man pages a couple of times, but I can't say what
would be a reason to put something to ~/.zprofile and
something to ~/.zshrc).

Thanks in advance.

I've that at the start of my .zshrc :

autoload -U zrecompile
[ -f ~/.zshrc ] && zrecompile -p ~/.zshrc
[ -f ~/.zcompdump ] && zrecompile -p ~/.zcompdump
[ -f ~/.zshrc.zwc.old ] && rm -f ~/.zshrc.zwc.old
[ -f ~/.zcompdump.zwc.old ] && rm -f ~/.zcompdump.zwc.old


with that, if you modify your .zshrc you pay the compilation time cost.
else, it's very fast
