You can put your function in a module and require it both normally and for syntax. #lang racket (module my-function racket (provide my-function) (define (my-function x) (+ x 1))) (require 'my-function (for-syntax 'my-function)) (define-syntax my-macro (lambda (stx) (datum->syntax stx (my-function (cadr (syntax->datum stx)))))) (my-macro 5) (my-function 7) See also cross phase persistent if you want one instantiation only. Jos From: Yushuo Xiao I am using syntax transformers to define macros in Racket. I want to create some helper functions to help me manipulate the syntax. However, the functions I defined outside the syntax transformer are not available inside the syntax transformer. For example, in the following code (define (my-function x) (+ x 1)) (define-syntax my-macro (lambda (stx) (datum->syntax stx (my-function (cadr (syntax->datum stx)))))) I got the error "my-function: reference to an unbound identifier at phase: 1; the transformer environment". After some searching, I am able to write the following code so that `my-function` is available inside the syntax transformer. (begin-for-syntax (define (my-function x) (+ x 1))) (provide (for-syntax my-function)) (define-syntax my-macro (lambda (stx) (datum->syntax stx (my-function (cadr (syntax->datum stx)))))) But the problem is, `my-function` is not available outside the syntax transformer this time. Sometimes I want to check those helper functions in ordinary code, so I need to be able to call it from both inside and outside the syntax transformer, just like the function `cadr`. How can I achieve that? I know my question has something to do with Racket's syntax model, in particular the concept of "phase level", but I never really understand it. If you could provide some easy-to-follow tutorials explaining it I would even be more grateful. (Also, I have asked the same question on StackOverflow before I am aware of this Google group. Is this place more suitable for asking Racket questions like this than StackOverflow? Should I delete the question on StackOverflow?) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
