I start with the following code, which works as you'd expect: #lang racket
(require syntax/parse/define) (define-simple-macro (my-macro) (display a_definition)) (define a_definition "some string") (my-macro) (It displays the text "some string") Then tried defining a_definition and calling the macro again, but inside of let: (require syntax/parse/define) (define-simple-macro (my-macro) (display a_definition)) (let () (define a_definition "some string") (my-macro)) This time I get an error: a_definition: unbound identifier context...: other binding...: common scopes...: in: a_definition !! This perplexes me, as from my (very limited) understanding, the above code should just macrologically expand into something akin to: (let () (define a_definition "some string") (display a_definition)) Which is what appears to be happening when I do the same thing in the global space. I really want to be able to define something within a code block and have access to that definition via macros called in that same code block.
