You re-build the binary but an old macro is still in use: ,delete-system-fasls in Slime

I updated a macro and re-built my binary from the shell, with a Make target. The target quickloads the dependencies, loads the asd file, and builds a binary with asdf:make. It turns out this wasn't enough, the old macro was still in use. I had to delete the fasl files of this system.

In slime, it's a quick

,delete-system-fasls RET system-name RET

I was surprised, though.

This is because the fasl cache is stored in ~/.cache/common-lisp by the compiler, regardless how you invoke it (SLIME REPL, shell, etc.).

and I didn't find a "--no-cache" option for SBCL.
