Alpha version of macros
Mon, 2012-01-23, 00:32
Hey! A few days ago, on this Friday, we've merged a pull request to
scala/scala that represents significant progress with macros.
I'd love you to explore our current take on macros and, possibly, get
assistance from a walkthrough from my recent talk in Kyiv (http://
scalamacros.org/talks/2012-01-14-EnAlphaKepler.pdf). Your feedback is
very welcome - if something doesn't work out with your macro test-
drive, let me know, and I'll try to fix the troubles.
In the meanwhile, we'll be polishing the implementation and preparing
a beta version that will be accompanied by a SIP. See you soon!

Re: Alpha version of macros
This is true to some extent.
Indeed, string interpolation proposal provides an infrastructure to
build quasiquotes upon.
However, there are still some open questions worth specifying (in a
separate proposal or together with macros - not sure which will be
right). First of all, what should a quasiquoter do: just parse the
source string (i.e. emit parser trees) or go for typed trees (i.e.
infer types, resolve implicits and likes)? Also, should it be
implemented as a macro or as a normal function? Moreover, there are
some design decisions to make that regard typechecking of the splices.

Is separate compilation something we can expect to be present when
2.10.0 comes out, or do you plan to "fix" it so macros can be compiled
together with code that uses before that?

Re: Alpha version of macros
I wouldn't count on that - current behaviour is more or less
satisfactory (and conventional, e.g. Nemerle macro system also has
this peculiarity), while we have several high-priority features to
implement before the release. Does separate compilation present a
significant inconvenience in your scenarios?

It means two things:
1. Files defining macros cannot use them.
2. Software that uses self-defined macros need to be built with two
compilation steps.
The easiest way I can think to achieve this is to segregate all macros
into "macro" packages, and introduce two-step-compilation in SBT where
source from directories named "macro" are compiled in the first step,
and then the second step puts the target directory from the first in
the classpath (not default, iirc) and compiles everything except stuff
inside directories named "macro". The package segregation can be
avoided if you ignore Java convention.
This is not trivial, or, at least, I don't see a trivial way of doing
it. Consider how you'll go about changing Scala's build so that it can
use its own macros, for instance.
Now, macros are not a must-have feature for every piece of software --
Scala has lived without them for a long time, after all. Having
libraries that define useful macros will be useful all on its own, and
having the possibility of using macros, even if makes builds more
complex, will be a big plus. So I'm tagging this as an inconvenient
requirement that can be handled latter, or not at all, if the tooling
makes it mostly painless. I could put all macros on a subproject, for
instance, and have the rest of the code depend on it.
This discussion brought another question to my mind, however: will I
be able to define a macro and then use it in a single REPL session, or
will I have to compile all my macros beforehand?

Re: Alpha version of macros
Yeah, this is very valid and awaits a principled solution. With Scala
we have a luxury of multi-stage build already integrated into our
workflow, so we're more or less fine. But, of course, this doesn't
diminish the problem.
Speaking of REPL, I have a feeling that everything will be okay, since
my impression is that REPL compiles every line in a separate
compilation run. Anyways, I'm going to summon Paul (cc'd) to clarify
this situation.

If I remember my AD&D correctly, then there's really only one kind of entity that gets summoned...
I've heard people say before that Paul codes like a daemon; but had no idea that it was meant so literally!

Haven't looked into IDE support yet. However, this (along with
debugging) is what we will definitely address before the release.

Correct, the repl will have the easiest time of anything dealing with any staged compilation requirement, since it does so anyway.

I was trying to use the alphakeplerdemo, but I'm getting this error:

It would if you used the compiler from alphakeplerdemo: https://github.com/xeno-by/alphakeplerdemo/tree/skeleton/compiler. The underscore syntax hasn't yet reached the upstream.

Hello!
Sorry, the slides have the interpolation id wrong. In this demo, you need to write c"..." to get the quasiquote. Thanks for catching this mistake - I've just updated the slides (http://scalamacros.org/talks/2012-01-14-EnAlphaKepler.pdf) to fix it.

Re: Alpha version of macros
I got this:
scala> four
res5: scala.reflect.Code[Int] = Code(tree = 2.$plus(2), manifest =
Int)
scala> four match { case c"2 + $x" => println(showRaw(x))
| case _ => println("something else")
| }
something else
Extracting quasi-quotations does not seem to work.
Is something changed in the syntax?
I have to add an extra line "case _ => println("something else")"
which is not mentioned in the pdf, because otherwise I get a non-
exhaustive error.

All right, my mistake again. You should match code.tree, not code. Guide has been updated again, thanks.

Re: Alpha version of macros
Is it (already) possible to translate this idiomatic Nemerle code to
Scala?
[MacroUsage(MacroPhase.BeforeTypedMembers, MacroTargets.Class)]
macro Extensible(typeBuilder : TypeBuilder)
{
ExtensibleImpl.DoTransform(Macros.ImplicitCTX(), typeBuilder)
}
module ExtensibleImpl
{
public DoTransform(typer : Typer, typeBuilder : TypeBuilder) :
void
{
Macros.DefineCTX(typer);
//here goes the rest
}
}
And the use site of the macro e.g.:
[Extensible]
public abstract class Node {}
so in other words what is TypeBuilder, Typer and the macro attribute
[Extensible]
in Scala?
And is there an equivalent typeBuilder.Define(ast) in Scala?
e.g. in:
def defineMethod(ast : ClassMember) : void { typeBuilder.Define(ast) }

Re: Alpha version of macros
Speaking of the typeBuilder question, inside a macro you have access
to compiler context via an implicit parameter that's generated into
macro signatures. This context represents a restricted subset of the
compiler API, and this subset currently doesn't include any facilities
to operate on classes/members.
For now making macro defs stable is our top priority. Codegen in the
large (macro types) is a next step, but it's hard to predict when it's
going to happen. Same for macro annotations. We kinds of like them,
but implementing them is not our priority now.

Re: Alpha version of macros
Hi Eugene,
So what are the plans regarding macros and 2.10? I'm a bit scared of the idea that Scala devs are again pushing out some (cool) feature _without_ any reasonable example/implementation on how to use it. (See scala.Dynamic, scala.DelayedInit, ...)
The 2.10 release seems to be one of the largest feature releases ever, even without macros. I assume Typesafe wants to release it before (or on) ScalaDays, so the time is running out fast for testing.
The meeting notes also stopped being publsihed months ago, so it is really hard to see in which direction Scala is moving. It is not your fault of course but I find the information coming from Typesafe/EPFL to be _very_ lacking.
Thanks!
Simon

Re: Re: Alpha version of macros
Because they said[1] that Scala 2.10 is released in the beginning of 2012. And April is probably already a stretched term for "beginning".

Re: Alpha version of macros
Hi Simon,
I am currently preparing a SIP and it will depend on how that is
discussed whether and when the idea is accepted.
All the best,
Eugene

Re: Re: Alpha version of macros
The meeting notes also stopped being publsihed months ago,that's my fault -- I've been busy with the virtual pattern matcher implementation, scala-virtualized maintenance, a conference and of course the xmas break
I'm going to make a summary of the notes you have missed, but I'm confident that 90% of their contents has been covered by discussion on this very list.
adriaan
thanks for your work!
One question: Earlier documents mentioned a hypothetical SIP-15 "Quasiquotations".
With the introduction of the "enhanced" string interpolation (SIP 11), SIP-15 isn't necessary anymore, right?
Bye,
Simon
