How to use quote and unquoted parameters inside a quote block?

I am building a macro witch has two parameters, one of them I want to unquote and the other one no.

Example:

  defmacro x(a, b) do
    quote do
      IO.inspect(unquote(a)) // should print 1 
      IO.inspect(b)// I want the ast [foo: {:^, [], [{:bar, [], Elixir}]}]
    end
  end
 
  x(1, [foo: ^bar])

The one you unquote you are already doing correctly.

To make sure you embed a quoted result into a quoted context, use Macro.escape/1.

So the snippet would become

quote do
  IO.inspect(unquote(a))
  IO.inspect(unquote(Macro.escape(b))
end
