Values

Description

The macro location returns a location suitable for passing to record-definition. This is usually done via a separate defining function. You will need to use location only if you create your own ways of making definitions (and not if your definers call only system-provided definers).

Examples

(defmacro define-wibble (x y) 
  `(dspec:def (define-wibble ,x) 
     (set-wibble-definition ',x ',y (dspec:location))))
 
(defun set-wibble-definition (x y loc) 
  (when (record-definition `(define-wibble ,x) loc)
    ;; defining code here
    ))
