Re: How to transform compile time into runtime data

[jyapayne]

You should be able to just write some code to add to a runtime seq or table. 
Something like this:
    
    
    import macros
    
    # no need for "{.compile.}"
    var registeredProcs = newSeq[string]()
    
    macro remote*(n: untyped): untyped =
      let procName = n[0]
      
      # This template will add the procs to whatever runtime variable you want,
      # so you can put a table inside here as well :)
      template addRegProc(procName, n) =
        registeredProcs &= procName
        echo registeredProcs
        n
      
      result = getAst(addRegProc($procName, n))
    
    proc square(x: float): float {.remote.} = x * x
    proc cubic(x: float): float {.remote.} = x * x * x
    
    proc genericCall*(id: string, x: float): float =
      echo "looking up ", id, " in ", registeredProcs
      for funcId in registeredProcs:
        if id == funcId:
          echo "would call id: ", funcId
    
    # locally in this module it works fine
    discard genericCall("square", 1)
    discard genericCall("cubic", 1)
    

With that code, your user.nim file compiles and runs as expected.
