@Pmunch hIf I may- even if I don't end up using it exactly in the way I
imagined, I'd love to learn more about your approach to statically finding
procedure calls in a code block. I might still ignore all expert advice ;) and
go for rollback/commit autodetection after all, but even if I don't, I'd love
to be able to warn users if, for example, there are no writes operations in a
write transaction. I there's the effect system, but I want to do without
experimental features.
Your approach using a `compileTime` variable seemed compelling. I was playing
with it a little but I'm not sure what else to try in figuring out how to
statically track the use of a proc. Any other approach would also be very
welcome. Thanks!
# This is my first attempt to use a compileTime var
# It should output 'not called - called' at compile time, but it actually
does output 'not called - not called' at runtime.
var called {.compileTime} = false
template wasItCalled(body: typed) =
static:
called = false
body
static:
when called:
echo "called"
else:
echo " not called"
proc rawFoo() =
discard
template foo() =
static:
called = true
discard
wasItCalled:
discard
# This should echo 'not called'
wasItCalled:
foo()
# This sould echo 'called'
Run
