Re: [racket-users] Retrieve name of defined variable in a syntax form in the expr of define form

2021-02-27 Thread Jos Koot
At second thought I'll use syntax-local-name to infer names to structs
(in an immutable field and using prop:custom-write)
Does not give me the variable in which an instance originally was defined,
but that is less important .
Not being able to spot the original definition of an instance in case of an
error
while using the instance later on, well that I can live with.
Thanks again, Jos

Thanks for your quick reply.
Yes I want the binding identifier. Alas.
Nevertheless I am happy with the separation between expansion time and run
time.
I have decided not to redefine define.

If you're just interested in the symbolic name "x", as opposed to the
binding identifier, then see `syntax-local-name` or
`syntax-local-infer-name`.

If you want the binding identifier, though, that's not available.

[racket-users] Retrieve name of defined variable in a syntax form in the expr of define form

2021-02-27 Thread Jos Koot
Hi

Consider:
(define-syntax (my-syntax stx)  blah ...)
(define x (my-syntax blah ...)

Is it possible for syntax my-syntax such as to know (at expansion time)
that is used as the expr of variable x in the expression of the definition?
Probably this is possible by redefining syntax define, but can I do it
without touching syntax define?
Thanks, Jos
