Macro-writing challenge

Name: Anonymous 2016-01-16 13:19

Write a macro check-arguments-non-nil to be used in function definitions, that would expand to assertion about every argument being non-nil.
The intended usage of this macro:

(defun foo (a b c d)
(check-arguments-non-nil)
foo-body)


This should expand to:

(defun foo (a b c d)
(assert (and (not (null a)) (not (null b)) (not (null c)) (not (null d)))
(a b c d)
"Null argument in FOO")
foo-body)


The macro must work whatever the number and names of the function parameters.

It is literally the difference between using an actual programming language, and simple string concatenation syntax. The latter can do simple shit easily, but everything beyond that is bad hacks that are better served in an actual computing language.
