Hi all, This is a bit difficult to explain, so bear with me.
I have a very simple macro which generates a runtime call to a normal function. The macro is so the arguments can be [more or less] free form expressions - the runtime function is because the computations are not simple and some of them require current runtime information like dates, times, etc. I'd like to allow the [normal] function that processes the expressions to reference variables and functions defined in the code surrounding the macro invocation. I can get at top-level defines using eval, but thus far I can't figure out how to get at locals in a function that is invoking the macro. I know that I can do this if I go the "compile" route, generating code to do the computations inline rather than punting to a runtime function. The issue I have with that is that some uses would end up generating quite a bit of code, and a program that used the macro extensively would swell accordingly. So is there a way ... from normal code ... to get at the locals of functions higher in the call chain? Or at least the immediate caller? Some reflective capability that I haven't yet discovered? If not, I'll just go the "compile" route and live with it. Thanks, George -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
