<h4 class="subsection">4.1.3 Understanding Compile Diagnostics</h4>
<p>The messages emitted by the compiler contain a lot of detail in a
terse format, so they may be confusing at first. The messages will be
illustrated using this example program:
<pre class="lisp"> (defmacro zoq (x)
`(roq (ploq (+ ,x 3))))
(defun foo (y)
(declare (symbol y))
(zoq y))
</pre>
<p>The main problem with this program is that it is trying to add
<code>3</code> to a symbol. Note also that the functions <code>roq</code> and
<code>ploq</code> aren't defined anywhere.
