Re: Simple macro question

[Ergus <spacibba@aol.com>]

Equivalent code like this:

====================

;;; test.el --- test editing -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-

;;; Commentary:

;;; Code:

(defvar test-commands-list '(A B C)
   "List of replaced functions.")

(defun test-fun (com)
   "Testfun with COM."
   nil)

(defmacro test-def (thelist)
   "Doc def."
   `(progn ,@(mapcar #'test-fun thelist)))

(test-def (A B C))

(provide 'test)
;;; test ends here

============================

Says that: Symbol’s function definition is void: test-fun
