To create a type at runtime, there are a few of methods - each delivering
an equivalent result:
*julia> quote*
* type Test1*
* a1::Int32*
* a2::Int32*
* a3::Int32*
* end*
* end*
quote # none, line 2:
$(Expr(:type, true, :Test1, quote # line 3:
a1::Int32 # line 4:
a2::Int32 # line 5:
a3::Int32
end))
end
*julia> parse("""quote*
* type Test2*
* a1::Int32*
* a2::Int32*
* a3::Int32*
* end*
* end""")*
quote # none, line 2:
$(Expr(:type, true, :Test2, quote # line 3:
a1::Int32 # line 4:
a2::Int32 # line 5:
a3::Int32
end))
end
*julia> Expr(:type, false, symbol("Test3"), Expr(:block, [Expr(:(::),
symbol("a$x"), symbol("Int32")) for x = 1:3]...))*
:($(Expr(:type, false, :Test3, quote
a1::Int32
a2::Int32
a3::Int32
end)))
*Question:* I'm interested if there is a better quote method, something
that avoids playing with string parsing or explicit Expr()'s with some
ninja $() magic like pseudo-code:
*quote*
* type Test4*
* $for x = 1:3*
* a$x::Int32*
* $end*
* end*
*end*
Anything similar actually possible?
