I'm looking at the magit source code, and there's this make-magit-section function that doesn't seem to found anywhere in the project (grep doesn't return any results).

describe-function says that it's defined in magit.el and that it has a compiler macro make-magit-section--cmacro. This macro has no results in grep as well.

Here's the one place it is being used in the magit repo https://github.com/magit/magit/blob/next/magit-section.el#L635

Where could this function be defined?

It is defined using cl-defstruct (here).

  • Oh, so make-magit-section is a constructor function that is defined behind the scenes by (cl-defstruct magit-section ...).

    It might help to describe how you found it. (Especially for cl-defstruct.)
