I'm trying to write a macro for generation of new functions given their
name and arguments, e.g. given macro call:
@deffun foo(a, b)
it should generate function like:
function foo(a, b)
# do some stuff
end
Important part is that both - name of a function and name of arguments -
should be preserved. My best attempt to do it looks like this:
macro deffun(ex)
func = ex.args[1]
args = ex.args[2:end]
return quote
function $(esc(func))($(esc(args...)))
# do some stuff
end
end
end
`$(esc(func))` works pretty well, but `args` isn't a Symbol and so macro
compilation fails.
1. How do I escape list of arguments here?
2. How do I make this macro to also support argument types? E.g. given
macro call:
@deffun foo(a::Int, b::Float64)
the following functions should be generated:
function foo(a::Int, b::Float64)
# do some stuff
end
