This looks great! Is there a way to make it work with existing specced code? I already have a large codebase with lots of fdefs. Can Ghostweel work with them without modification?

Thanks!

At the moment you can set the gspec to nil, but that would simply disable s/fdef generation and all of the spec-related magic. I'm planning to introduce a configuration option with the next release to force Ghostwheel to trust that there's an external s/fdef for that function and still do all the spec stuff.

There may be some limitations on this compared to using inline gspecs – I have to play around with it a bit, but I think it should work fine. Until then, you can still use Ghostwheel for tracing and side effect detection though.

The short answer is "more or less", the longer answer is the second one in the FAQ:
