;; I am trying to instrument all functions in all of my *.el files
;; but I am running into grief Getting *Debugging*

;; Please consider the following code that belongs at the top of the
;; file: ~/.emacs:

(defmacro dmp-quote (&rest rest)
  t)

(progn
  (require 'debug)
  (require 'edebug)
  ;;(setq debug-on-error nil)
  (setq edebug-all-defs t)
  (setq edebug-all-forms t)
  (setq edebug-on-error t)
  (edebug-eval-top-level-form) ;; <-- bug in my earlier code is a function not a variable
  )

(defun smegulator ()
  smegulator-void-var
  )

;;(smegulator) ;; NOTE: commented for later evaluation

(dmp-quote
 ;; NOTE: strictly for Davin's use...
 (progn
   (load-file "~/dlisp/custom-set-faces.el")
   (setq load-path (cons "~/dlisp/jtw-start/" load-path))
   (require 'dmp-safe--require)
   )
 )

(dmp-quote

When I put the following code at the start of my .emacs file it
executes without errors as it should.  However when I
evaluate (smegulator) it brings up the following message
in the *Backtrace* buffer:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function smegulator)
  (smegulator)
  elisp--eval-last-sexp(nil)
  eval-last-sexp(nil)
  funcall-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil)
  command-execute(eval-last-sexp)

without a black triangle indicating we are not in the edebug
*Debugging* When I put the cursor inside (defun smegulator ()
smegulator-void-var) and evaluate C-M-x it comes back with the
following error, again without a black triangle so edebug mode is
not activated.

edebug-after: Symbol’s value as variable is void: smegulator-void-var

again without a black triangle indicating the edebug mode is not activated

i.e. how do you get Emacs to do a C-u C-M-x on every defun in
every *.el files without doing it manually C-u C-M-x for every
