Message-ID: <47A10F31.9040805@gmail.com> (raw)

When I try to do instrument my-test-err4 below for edebug with

    C-u C-M-x

I get an error saying

     edebug-syntax-error: Invalid read syntax: "Expected", (&rest
         &or (symbolp &optional form) symbolp)

Can someone please explain to me what I have done wrong here?


(defvar mumamo-use-condition-case nil)
(make-variable-buffer-local 'mumamo-use-condition-case)
(put 'mumamo-use-condition-case 'permanent-local t)

(defvar mumamo-debugger 'mumamo-debug-to-backtrace)
(make-variable-buffer-local 'mumamo-debugger)
(put 'mumamo-debugger 'permanent-local t)

(defmacro mumamo-condition-case (var body-form &rest handlers)
   "Like `condition-case', but optional.
If `mumamo-use-condition-case' is nil then just evaluate
BODY. Otherwise do the same thing as

   (condition-case VAR
       BODY
     HANDLERS)."
   (declare (indent 2) (debug let))
   `(if (not mumamo-use-condition-case)
        (let* ((debugger mumamo-debugger)
               (debug-on-error (if debugger t debug-on-error)))
          ,body-form)
     (condition-case ,var
         ,body-form
       ,@handlers)))

(defun my-test-err4 ()
   (interactive)
   (mumamo-condition-case err
       (my-errx)
     (arith-error (message "here"))
     (error (message "%s, %s" err (error-message-string err)))
     ))
