I'm working on a DSL to represent 3D geometrical shapes. I'm adding a language-specific plugin (toolbar button) that should: 1) expand the source code to get a module object, 2) evaluate the module object, 3) dynamic-require that module object, 4) Create an OpenGL Context, 5) render this object using a C++ library that contains a function that takes in a module object as input and generates in the existing OpenGL context.
Suppose my geometrical shape code is as follows: #lang hypothetical-lanugage (hypothetical-code) I have a couple questions on how to set this up: 1. The documentation on drracket:eval:expand-program <https://docs.racket-lang.org/tools/drracket_eval.html#%28def._%28%28lib._drracket%2Ftool-lib..rkt%29._drracket~3aeval~3aexpand-program%29%29> is rather dense, and I don't understand what the parameters should be. Could you please provide me with a minimum working example of how to call this function? 2. Is the output of drracket:eval:expand-program <https://docs.racket-lang.org/tools/drracket_eval.html#%28def._%28%28lib._drracket%2Ftool-lib..rkt%29._drracket~3aeval~3aexpand-program%29%29> directly suitable to be called as the argument to the eval function? If not, what kind of preprocessing do I need to do before calling eval? 3. Will the result of eval be a module object? 4. If I press the toolbar button twice, will dynamic-require work or do I need dynamic-rerequire? Essentially what I'm asking is do I get a clean evaluation context each time I press my toolbar button? 5. Is it good style for my button to save the source code each time I run it? If so, how can I do that? 6. Ideally, I'd like the OpenGL rendering to appear as a third window to accompany the interactions and definitions window. Is there any way to do that?
