Hi,
I'm trying to return an expression that contains symbols from a macro and I'm
seeing odd behavior when the macro is declared in a module vs. when a macro is
declared outside of a module. An exported macro declared from within a module
can't resolve symbols from the returned expression when it tries to eval.
I'm running julia on a mac compiled from the release-0.3 branch (Version
0.3.4-pre+74 (2014-12-16 03:44 UTC)). Here's a minimized example of what I'm
seeing:
julia> macro xxx(str) symbol(str) end
julia> module Test export @yyy; macro yyy(str) symbol(str) end end
julia> using Test
julia> global x = 10
10
julia> @xxx("x")
10
julia> @yyy("x")
ERROR: x not defined
I guess that I must be misunderstanding something about hygiene. Any help
would be appreciated.
thanks,
wade
