This variable is similar to *load-xref-info* and *load-source-file-info* in that it controls
whether information stored in a fasl file should be loaded into Lisp when
the fasl file is loaded. The
information is local name and scope information which is very
useful for debugging.
That information is written to
fasl files when the values of
the optimization qualities safety, space, speed, and debug are such
that either or both or the compiler switches save-local-names-switch and
save-local-scopes-switch
are true. See Declarations and optimizations
in compiling.htm for information on
switches.
When developing code, the value of this variable should be non-nil because the usefulness to debugging outweighs the
cost of the additional space used. But when preparing an application
for delivery which will not be interactively debugged, the value
nil is appropriate.
