No doubt they do something important, } but I'm not noticing their absence right now. No, actually, they're entirely unimportant; they're just the compiled (into zsh's internal word code) versions of the functions that share their base name. In some cases it can be faster to load a pre-compiled function file, so zsh has the "zcompile" builtin for creating them. But the chances you'd notice the difference from them not being there, are small. } Is there some sort of global map of everything that zsh adds to } one's system? These *.zwc files, I had no idea they were there } and I have no idea what they do. As I said, they're NOT something that zsh added to the system. It must be that the package for your OS's stock zsh binary included them. } I just rebuild without " --enable-zsh-debug " and all is well. Sadly, rebuilding without --enable-zsh-debug is sort of like removing the batteries from your smoke detector. There may still be a fire, but you just aren't hearing about it any more.
