**** Reevalute defvars when running eval-last-sexp **** Reevalute defvars when running eval-last-sexp
What follows is a function that checks to see if what precedes point is a defvar We noflet elisp--preceding-sexp to munge defvars into sexps only for
and reevaluates it as a setq if it is eval-last-sexp.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun imalison:defvar-at-point ()
(let* ((preceding-sexp (elisp--preceding-sexp)))
(when (and (listp preceding-sexp) (equal (car preceding-sexp) 'defvar))
preceding-sexp)))
(defun imalison:maybe-eval-defvar-as-setq ()
(interactive)
(let ((the-defvar (imalison:defvar-at-point)))
(when the-defvar
(eval `(setq ,@(cdr the-defvar))))))
#+END_SRC
Now we add advice to eval-last-sexp so that it has this behavior.
