Is there a way to programmatically evaluate a macro?

For example, let us take this code:

Method m()
{
    $$$someMacro
}

Or:

Method m(foo as whatever)
{
   $$$otherMacro(foo)
}

Provided that I can extract someMacro and otherMacro from the code samples above, is there a way to programmatically expand them?

Solution

  • No. Macro can only be resolved at compile time. Since what macro expands into may depend on where in code macro is placed you can't expand one macro without context.
