I want to check if new commands have been defined during a specific
period of time.
There are two obvious approaches:
1)
Using 'mapatoms' to compile lists of available commands and
comparing them.
This technique is a bit too slow for my needs. It introduces a slight
lag when used in a time-critical interactive function.
2)
Redefining 'defun' (and optionally 'fset') to trap command definitions.
This one messes rather crudely with the internals:
(fset 'old-defun (symbol-function 'defun))
(defmacro defun (&rest body)
`(let* ((fn-symbol (first (quote ,body)))
(was-command (commandp fn-symbol))
(result (macroexpand (old-defun ,@body))))
(and (not was-command) (commandp fn-symbol)
(setq new-command-defined-flag t))
result))
Are there other, more elegant ways to achieve the same effect?
Thanks,
Hans
