*load-xref-info*

This variable is a boolean which determines whether cross-reference information in a fasl file is loaded and stored into the cross-reference database (recall that compiling a file only puts cross-reference information in the fasl file). When *load-xref-info* is true, the cross-reference database will be updated with any cross-reference information stored in fasl files that are loaded. The value of this variable controls loading done by any method (by load, :ld, :cload, require, etc.) and none of those functions or commands have arguments that can override the value of this variable.

The initial value of this variable is dependent on how Lisp was installed. Users who want cross reference information recorded should set this value and that of *record-xref-info* variable to t. Be warned that compilation time, image size and fasl file size are all increased by the generation and loading of cross reference information.
