| Feb 18 at 13:40 | comment | added | phils | I'd recommend simply using derivative commands in the menu, and not trying to obfuscate anything. If you have a list of commands to create derivatives of, and the same macro is applicable in each case, then simply loop over the list, generating a derivative for each one via your macro. | |

Since my aim is to simplify code writing, I'll focus on finding a way to simplify "wrapping" functions in my macro when called through a menu built with easy-menu-define. Lamda function work but I'm searching for something "easier".

Whatever you do, though, you do need to define something for each function -- if nothing has been defined for a given function name, calling that name is simply an error. | |
| Feb 18 at 10:41 | comment | added | Gabriele | Ok, thanks. Your answer has nonetheless taught me something very useful. | |

There's no such thing, but you can simply use the autoload mechanism. See C-h i g (elisp)Autoload. The real function will be defined by loading the library specified by the autoload stub.

I'm sorry for the confusion. I mean I want to use the starred version of my mwe-function-1 but don't want to define it. I'm searching for a method to wrap SOME of my function with my macro when called from the menu. I though that a system to "autodefine" these functions could be a solution but I don't know if it is possible.
