Hi,
I'm trying to create a macro for the BioJulia project which will allow easy
creation of biological alphabets, which will work with the new BioSequence
type we are designing as a major improvement to the Seq module. As it will
be creating types and functions, I expect hygiene will be an issue, but
before I even get to that, let's start simple. Just a quote, and some
interpolation:
*macro create_alphabet(alph_name, n_bits)*
* quote*
* immutable $(alph_name){$(n_bits)} <: Alphabet end*
* end*
*end*
*@create_alphabet (macro with 1 method)*
*julia> **abstract Alphabet*
*julia> **@create_alphabet hi 1*
*ERROR: syntax: malformed expression*
* in eval(::Module, ::Any) at ./boot.jl:267*
For the life of me, I really cannot see what I've done wrong - it's one
line with two interpolated words! What massively obvious thing am I being a
moron about at 2 am?
Thanks,
Ben.
