Macro debugging
(expand
{expression}
)
special form
A custom special form expand can be used to see the result of a macro expansion of a given expression, for debugging purposes.
For example, we can see that the
(expand
(let* ((x 42)
(y x))
y))
is transformed into:
((lambda (x390)
((lambda (y394)
((lambda () y394))) x390)) 42)
Note that any variables in the expanded code are renamed by husk's macro hygiene algorithm. |
