[julia-users] best practices for using Julia to generate+save Julia source code

[Jeffrey Sarnoff]

Are there styles/approaches/packages/practices that may make simple and 
untedious using Julia to generate and fill templated Julia source code?
My use case is to complete facets of type declarations that require more 
symbiosis of parameters than Julia learned to do while in kindergarten.


immutable fromClibWithCfinalizer{ sizeofThisType, digitsofSignificand }
     exponent ::NTuple{ fn( sizeofThisType, digitsOfSignificand ), UInt32 )
     ...
     function fromClibWithCfinalizer( _ ) ? end; 
end


bitsReqdForDigits( digs ) = ceil(Int, digs*log(2, 10) )

fn( sizeofThisType, digitsOfSignifcand ) = 
    ( sizeofThisType - bitsReqdForDigits(digitsOfSignificand) 
          - stabilityBits - guardBits - 1 - reservedBits      )
