Hey all.
I have a zsh script I source in my .zshrc. The script is setting up a
function for `chpwd_functions`. Here it is:
https://github.com/doronbehar/dotfiles/blob/master/.zsh/chpwd/taskwarrior
The function `_chpwd_task_contexts_parser` defined in that file slows
down the shell startup time, and I was looking for a way to improve the
situation. I tried simply zcompiling it, and the `zcompile` command did
generate a .zwc file, but then I get on startup:
[3] 27780
/home/doron/.zsh/chpwd/taskwarrior.zwc:1: no such file or directory: ^G^F^E^D^A
/home/doron/.zsh/chpwd/taskwarrior.zwc:1: permission denied:

/home/doron/.zsh/chpwd/taskwarrior.zwc:8: permission denied:
/home/doron/.zsh/chpwd/taskwarrior.zwc:17: unmatched "
Have I done something wrong?
Doron.

zcompiling doesn't improve execution speed of functions. It can
benefit you only if parsing takes a long time. Given the small size of
file `taskwarrior` (3.5KB), parsing should be almost instantaneous (at
most 1ms), so the speedup from zcompiling won't be noticeable.

Looks like taskwarrior.zwc is corrupted. My practical advice is to
simply remove this file and not waste time on zcompile as it won't
help you anyway. Slow shell startup is likely caused by the slow
execution of _chpwd_set_task_context. You'll need to either avoid
invoking this function or make it run faster.

The point is that I have done nothing that could corrupt the zwc file -
it's how zcompile generated it.
I won't use it though, listening to your advice, and think how to
improve it's execution.
Thanks, Doron.

Is it possible that you are executing `source taskwarrior.zwc` instead
of `source taskwarrior`? You should always use the latter regardless
of whether taskwarrior.zwc exists. When executing `source
taskwarrior`, zsh automatically checks whether taskwarrior.zwc exists
and is fresh enough.

Yes I read the docs. I `source taskwarrior`, not sourcing `.zwc`.

Two possibilities occur to me:
1. There is a maximum size of objects that can be zcompile'd, because it
has internal pointers for loop and function entry points that are stored in
a limited number of bytes.
2. You're running zcompile on one version of zsh and attempting to source
the file on another.
