The info manual I was looking at (info "(elisp) Native-Compilation
Functions") has this text
"Native-Compilation is implemented as a side effect of
byte-compilation"
In any case maybe I should file a bug? because this the behaviour I
reported doesn't meet the expectations. In a fresh emacs -Q: the
following 3 forms all load a fib.elc file from the current directory
(say "/dev/shm") without producing an eln file. ("doesn't work")
(byte-compile-file "fib.el" t) ; doesn't work
(load-file "fib.elc") ; doesn't work
(load "/dev/shm/fib.elc" nil nil t) ; doesn't work
The only form which works seems to be when load is called with a full
pathname after omitting the ".el" or ".elc" suffix provided there is an
elc at that location.
i.e.
(load "/dev/shm/fib")
only this form produces an eln file in the user's eln-cache directory.
