Subject: dynamic let closure not possible with `dlet', instead use lexical let and `setq'
Date: Fri, 05 Jan 2024 06:04:41 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87plygbcba.fsf@dataswamp.org> (raw)
1. You can't do a dynamic let closure with `dlet':
(dlet ((oh-ah "oa"))
(defun ohah ()
oh-ah)
(declare-function ohah nil) )
;; (ohah) ; Symbol’s value as variable is void: oh-ah
2. You can do a lexical let closure with `let', but after that
you cannot make any of its lexical variables dynamic with
`dlet':
(let ((some-var 0))
(defun outer ()
(dlet ((some-var 1))
(inner) ))
(declare-function outer nil)
(defun inner ()
some-var)
(declare-function inner nil) )
;; (outer) ; 0
;; (inner) ; 0
3. What you can do, is to keep the variable lexical and use it
like a global variable with `setq':
(let ((some-var 2))
(defun outer ()
(setq some-var 4)
(prog1
(inner)
(setq some-var 2) ))
(declare-function outer nil)
(defun inner ()
some-var)
(declare-function inner nil) )
;; (outer) ; 4
;; (inner) ; 2
