[Openmcl-devel] tagbody and go

[Taoufik Dachraoui]

I did use eval to solve this as follows:

(defmacro runstep (step)
   `(tagbody (go ,step)
       1 (format t "run 1~%") (go end)
       2 (format t "run 2~%") (go end)
       3 (format t "run 3~%") (go end)
       4 (format t "run 4~%") (go end)
       5 (format t "run 5~%") (go end)
     end ))

(let ((step 3)) (eval `(runstep ,step))

but I thought that the above  eval will expand runstep
then I choose to create another macro

(defmacro gostep (step) `(runstep ,step))

(let ((step 3)) (eval `(gostep ,step)))

But I do not know what happens when eval is called (when the macros
are expanded).

My objective is to go to a given step directly in constant time

Kind regards
Taoufik

My intention is to
