I am getting the following Lisp error
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable gstate)
(let ((n gstate)) (cond ((eql n 1) (set (make-local-variable 'gstate) 2)
(message "%s" "gstate 1")) ((eql n 2) (set (make-local-variable 'gstate) 3)
(message "%s" "gstate 2")) (t (set (make-local-variable 'gstate) 1) (message
"%s" "gstate _"))))
gstate-cycle()
funcall-interactively(gstate-cycle)
call-interactively(gstate-cycle nil nil)
command-execute(gstate-cycle)
I am using the function below. The problem occurs when I comment out
"(defvar gstate 0)". When I introduce the variable, the Lisp Error is
not reported.
One confusion that exists is that I want gstate buffer-local. But I think
that using defvar is a mistake. Another think is to avoid defining gstate
before calling the function. My plan was to have "pcase" do to the "(_"
part if the buffer-local variable "gstate" is not defined, and then define
it using "(setq-local gstate 1)".
How can I code this properly?
-------- code --------
;;(defvar gstate 0)
(defun gstate-cycle ()
(interactive)
(let ((n gstate))
(pcase n
(1 (setq-local gstate 2)
(message "%s" "gstate 1"))
(2 (setq-local gstate 3)
(message "%s" "gstate 2"))
(_ (setq-local gstate 1)
(message "%s" "gstate _")) )))
(global-set-key (kbd "H-1") #'gstate-cycle)
