Subject: Macro Expansion Inconsistency
Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2014 21:57:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAKu-7WwxpP+Rj6TBJfA1TP3zpMqSH+=rJx1uD=o6OdCC2A_9iA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello everyone,
Just wasted a couple of hours with the following macro:
(defmacro test
(name)
`(let* ((name ',name)
(symbol (intern (concat "some" "-" (symbol-name
name)))))
,symbol))
Running
(test xxx)
reports error: (void-variable symbol).
What?
Refactoring to
(defmacro test
(name)
`(let* ((name ',name))
,(intern (concat "some" "-" (symbol-name name)))))
and running
(test xxx)
works as expected.
Could anybody clarify what's going on? Thanks.
Regards,
Alexander
