When I put the following code at the start of
my .emacs file it executes without errors as
it should.

However when I evaluate (smegulator) it brings
up the following message, without a black triangle

elisp--eval-last-sexp: Symbol’s value as variable is void:
void-variable-smeg

When I execute C-u C-M-x on (defun smegulator () void-variable-smeg)
it brings up the following messages.

edebug-after: Symbol’s value as variable is void: void-variable-smeg

elisp--eval-last-sexp: Symbol’s value as variable is void:
void-variable-smeg
with a black triangle indicating we are in edebug mode.

How do I get the black triangle online in other files for debugging my code?

i.e. how do you get Emacs to do a C-u C-M-x on every defun  without doing
it manually C-u C-M-x for every function one at a time?
