You want to pass the symbol into the macro or convert before the quote
block:
~~~julia
macro create_function(name::String)
n = symbol(name)
return quote
(x) -> ($n)(x) + 7
end
end
~~~
Or you can just add some parens:
~~~julia
macro create_function(name::String)
return quote
(x) -> ($(symbol(name)))(x) + 7
end
end
~~~
You want to convert from string to symbol *in macro context*, not at run
time. That way the code a run-time has a symbol that it will understand as
a function call.
