common lisp - get path to file

Question

In Common Lisp, is there a way to get the path to a compiled file (something like current-directory)?

The file is not inside the current-directory folder.

Answer 1

If you want get the pathname whitout use ASDF function, but you need also attend the users that use ASDF, you can use like this:

(defmacro project-pathname ()
  (let ((path (or *compile-file-pathname* *load-truename*)))
    `(progn ,path)))

It's necessary because the ASDF stores in one "/home/you/.../.cache/..." directory, and you need capture the pathname in compilation time with one macro.
