zrecompile and removed functions

zrecompile and removed functions

[Andrej Borsenkow]

Removed functions are not handled gracefully:

bor@itsrm2% zrecompile
re-compiling /home/bor/.zsh.d/std.zwc: failed (missing files)

This is the result of renaming _try and _loop.

Is it possible to remove function definitions from wordcode file? In
this case, something like "synchronise wordcode file with directories"
comes in mind.

It would be possible to make zrecompile be quiet when it can't find
one of the functions, but I don't like that -- which you can see by
the output above, it's printed explicitly by zrecompile.
The problem with silently ignoring missing files is exactly the
situation you encountered: the files may be renamed, so the zwc file
should really be rebuild anew...

...and that's why I use `zrecompile -p' (a small wrapper function that 
just calls zrecompile -p with the zwc files I want to keep up to
date). With that it's easy to make zwc files always contain things
like `all functions in directory ...'.
