Subject: Programmatically creating functions
Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2008 10:26:58 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <B428AAEC-6108-47F8-A4BE-BD62599DAB62@digg.com> (raw)
So, I have a list of symbols:
'(foo bar baz)
I want to iterate over the list and create a function from each which
does something like this:
(defun call-foo ()
(interactive)
(invoke-stuff 'foo)
How can I accomplish this? I can't figure out how to create the
function. I've tried a number of approaches, but have not met with
success.
- eval'ing the defun. Returns a function symbol, but I can't call
it. Maybe it's only created within the scope of the (eval) and not
callable from outside?
- Creating a symbol and using fset to assign a lambda to it's
function cell. It sort of works, but I'm unclear on how to pass a
variable function name to defun, nor am I clear on how I can make sure
it calls invoke-stuff with the right symbol.
Help?
- Ian
