Subject: macro-replacement with quotes
Date: Sun, 24 Jan 2016 21:56:01 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87powq3amm.fsf@russet.org.uk> (raw)
Is it possible to build a list within a macro which contains backquote,
quote or comma symbols in it?
Specifically, I was thinking of building a macro which expands to a
pcase form, but I need the ` symbol in the expansion.
For example, say I have a list
'(a b c)
which I want to expand to
`(,a ,b ,c)
Or in full I want to expand something like
(((a) a)
((a b) a b)
((a b c) a b c))
into
(pcase x
(`(,a) a)
(`(,a ,b) a b)
(`(,a ,b ,c) a b c))
