I often write functions like this: (defn foobar [] (let [log (makeLogger "foobar")] .... blah blah ))
where makeLogger returns a logging function that prefixes all messages with the name provided. It looks as though macros don't have a "stringize" ability (like the C preprocessor) so that this would work: (defmacro foo [fname & body] `(defn ~fname [] (let [~'log (~'makeLogger "~fname")] ~@body))) When this is expanded, the string comes out as-is: "~fname". Is there some way to do this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
