I'm trying to create a pair of sweet js macros where an inner and outer macro share a local variable:
syntax cdo = function(ctx) {
let call = ctx.next().value;
let dummy = #`dummy`.get(0);
let context_id = #`${dummy.fromIdentifier("$context$")}`;
return #`let ${context_id} = ${call}`;
}
syntax context = function(ctx) {
let func = ctx.next().value; // function keyword
let func_name = ctx.next().value;
let args = ctx.next().value; // all args
let body = ctx.next().value; // function body
let dummy = #`dummy`.get(0);
let context_id = #`${dummy.fromIdentifier("$context$")}`;
let body_result = #`let ${context_id} = 1234`;
for (let stx of body.inner()) {
body_result = body_result.concat(#`${stx}`);
}
return #`${func} ${func_name}${args}{${body_result}}`;
}
context function foo(a, b) {
cdo bar();
}
What I want is for the "context" macro call to be able to assign a local variable that is accessible/assignable to the inner cdo macro call.
This is using sweet js 1.0, I've looked into using name() to access the calling context, however I can't seem to get this to work. What's the right way to do this?
