Subject: Compiling a recursive macro
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2020 16:15:05 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <22b55d6d-f719-98d9-f8c8-e72e7fc43497@gmail.com> (raw)
I'm not an expert on macros whatsoever. I apologize if this is idiotic.
I've been doing battle trying to define a recursive macro, and I'd like
it to be byte compiled. However, in the info (elisp) Compiling Macros, I
find the following:
In order for compilation of macro calls to work, the macros must
already be defined in Lisp when the calls to them are compiled.
That suggests to me that you can't compile any recursive macro. Do I
understand it correctly? If I do, then I'm curious if there's a common
style for getting around this.
Thanks.

If this is what winning looks like, I'd hate to see what losing is.
