The messages emitted by the compiler contain a lot of detail in a terse format, so they may be confusing at first. The messages will be illustrated using this example program:
(defmacro zoq (x) `(roq (ploq (+ ,x 3)))) (defun foo (y) (declare (symbol y)) (zoq y))
The main problem with this program is that it is trying to add
3
to a symbol. Note also that the functions roq
and
ploq
aren't defined anywhere.
