Auxiliary Library

Larceny's library is split into two parts: the basis library and the auxiliary library. The basis library is the library in the basis heap image ("larceny.heap"), which is produced by the development environment; this library consists of all standard procedures and macros and a number of Larceny-specific extensions. The auxiliary library consists of files in the Auxlib subdirectory and contains many generally useful Scheme procedures.

The library is split because it reduces the turnaround time for a system build, a limiting factor during the development of Larceny. The auxiliary library is incorporated into the heap image by compiling it, loading it, and then dumping the heap.
