#1 Implement a new language construct: `macro`

Cerrada
abierta hace 2 semanas por Archivist · 0 comentarios

The macro language constructs operates like a compile time function. The code is executed during the compilation phase, and then it is made into a function that outputs the remaining stack left behind by the routine that executed the macro.

Syntax

let cnt a function that returns a single integer, from the sequence {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10...} in order with each call. cnt has not been called.

macro my-macro do
	cnt cnt + cnt cnt + +
end
usage:
my-macro print_int 20 print_utf8 my-macro print_int 20 print_utf8
expected output:
10
10


usage:
cnt drop my-macro print_int cnt drop cnt drop 20 print_utf8 my-macro print_int 20 print_utf8
expected output:
10
10

Proposed way of implementation

The implementation could be performed as a normal function that just outputs to stack the stored value. This depends on the system to preserve function contents during GC #2.
