;;;; As explained by Rob MacLachlan on the CMU CL mailing list Wed, 06
;;;; Jan 1999 11:05:02 -0500, this cold load generator more or less
;;;; fakes up static function linking. I.e. it makes sure that all the
-;;;; functions in the fasl files it reads are bound to the
+;;;; DEFUN-defined functions in the fasl files it reads are bound to the
;;;; corresponding symbols before execution starts. It doesn't do
;;;; anything to initialize variable values; instead it just arranges
;;;; for !COLD-INIT to be called at cold load time. !COLD-INIT is
;;;; responsible for explicitly initializing anything which has to be
;;;; initialized early before it transfers control to the ordinary
;;;; top-level forms.
+;;;;
+;;;; (In CMU CL, and in SBCL as of 0.6.9 anyway, functions not defined
+;;;; by DEFUN aren't set up specially by GENESIS. In particular,
+;;;; structure slot accessors are not set up. Slot accessors are
+;;;; available at cold init time because they're usually compiled
+;;;; inline. They're not available as out-of-line functions until the
+;;;; toplevel forms installing them have run.)
;;;; This software is part of the SBCL system. See the README file for
;;;; more information.

-;;; This is like DEFINE-FOP which defines fops for warm load, but unlike
-;;; DEFINE-FOP, this version
-;;; (1) looks up the code for this name (created by a previous DEFINE-FOP)

-;;; (2) stores its definition in the *COLD-FOP-FUNCTIONS* vector, instead
-;;; of storing in the *FOP-FUNCTIONS* vector.
