Re: [Chicken-users] Implementing a macroexpand-all

[Patrick Li]

Ah I'm using Chicken 4.4.0.

I'm a beginner to Chicken and just typed "port install chicken" into my MacOSX terminal.

I'll figure out how to upgrade Chicken.

What version of Chicken are you using?
I see the following with 4.6.0 and 4.6.5:

#;1> (define-syntax mymacro (syntax-rules () ((mymacro) (lambda () 3))))
#;2> (expand '(mymacro))
(##core#lambda () 3)

Cheers,
