async-inject-function?

[jethrokuan]

I have a few functions defined outside of my async-start call, that's used both synchronously and asynchronously. I'd like these functions to be available within the async-start lambda, would it be possible to add a async-inject-function similar to what async-inject-variable does?

see org-roam/org-roam#72

The simplest way is to put your functions inside a file and require or load file in your async-start lambda, another way is to define your function as a defalias always in your async-start lambda: Example: (defun tv/shuffle-vector (vector) "Shuffle VECTOR." (cl-loop with len = (1- (length vector)) while (>= len 0) for rand = (random (1+ len)) for old = (aref vector rand) do (progn (aset vector rand (aref vector len)) (aset vector len old) (setq len (1- len))) finally return vector)) (async-start `(lambda () (defalias 'tv/shuffle-vector ,(symbol-function 'tv/shuffle-vector)) (tv/shuffle-vector ["a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" "g" "h"])) (lambda (result) (message "Result: %S" result)))

Thanks a lot @thierryvolpiatto , I'll adopt the latter!
