Description
Macro Functions receive a list of tokens and output a string which will be pasted into code at compile time.
name @ (| ...body... |)
You should use parenthesis around markers - '|' is the preferred marker. The same marker should be used to close macro body with closing parenthesis right after it.
You can use any of these markers.
\`~ ! # $ % ^ & * / + = |
You can redefine a macro with @@.
name @@ (| ...another_body... |)
To call macro function use it's name with parenthesis as with usual functions:
name(...arguments...)
Examples
Enumeration
enum @ (|
local t = ...
local r = {}
for i = 1, #t, 2 do
table.insert(r, t[i] .. " @ " .. i // 2 + 1)
end
print(table.concat(r, " "))
return table.concat(r, " ")
|)
enum(apple, orange, melon)
print(apple, orange, melon) --> 1 2 3
Turning off the print command
print @ (| return "" |)
Unroll loops
dotimes @ (|
local times = table.remove(..., 1)
return (table.concat(..., " ").." "):rep(times)
|)
local t = {}
dotimes(10 print "Boom!")
