Subject: Odd behavior of `eval-when-compile'
Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2007 00:25:01 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87odinxyaa.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
I came across the following surprising (to me) behavior for
`eval-when-compile'. Suppose I have two files:
a.el, containing
(defvar vara 2)
(provide 'a)
and b.el, containing
(require 'a)
(defvar varb (eval-when-compile (+ 1 vara)))
If I byte compile b.el, it works fine.
However, if I have a file b.el containing
(defvar vara 2)
(defvar varb (eval-when-compile (+ 1 vara)))
and then byte compile it (in a new Emacs session), I get an error
Symbol's value as variable is void: vara
Is there a reason for this behavior (I didn't find it in the elisp
manual), or is this a bug?
Jay
