    EXPERIMENTAL

    The base package for Scala macros.

    Macros are functions that are called by the compiler during compilation. Within these functions the programmer has access to compiler APIs. For example, it is possible to generate, analyze and typecheck code.

    See the Macros Guide on how to get started with Scala macros.

EXPERIMENTAL

The blackbox Scala macros context.

See the overview page for a description of how macros work. This documentation entry provides information on the API available to macro writers.

A macro context wraps a compiler universe exposed in universe and having type scala.reflect.macros.Universe. This type is a refinement over the generic reflection API provided in scala.reflect.api.Universe. The extended Universe provides mutability for reflection artifacts (e.g. macros can change types of compiler trees, add annotation to symbols representing definitions, etc) and exposes some internal compiler functionality such as Symbol.deSkolemize or Tree.attachments.

Another fundamental part of a macro context is macroApplication, which provides access to the tree undergoing macro expansion. Parts of this tree can be found in arguments of the corresponding macro implementations and in prefix, but macroApplication gives the full picture.

Other than that, macro contexts provide facilities for typechecking, exploring the compiler's symbol table and enclosing trees and compilation units, evaluating trees, logging warnings/errors and much more. Refer to the documentation of top-level traits in this package to learn the details.

If a macro def refers to a macro impl that uses blackbox.Context, then this macro def becomes a blackbox macro, which means that its expansion will be upcast to its return type, enforcing faithfulness of that macro to its type signature. Whitebox macros, i.e. the ones defined with whitebox.Context, aren't bound by this restriction, which enables a number of important use cases, but they are also going to enjoy less support than blackbox macros, so choose wisely. See the Macros Guide for more information.

    Can be used to perform compile-time computations on macro arguments to the extent permitted by the shape of the arguments.

    Known issues: because of https://github.com/scala/bug/issues/5748 trees being evaluated first need to undergo untypecheck. Resetting symbols and types mutates the tree in place, therefore the conventional approach is to duplicate the tree first.

    scala> def impl(c: Context)(x: c.Expr[String]) = {

    The prefix tree from which the macro is selected.

    For example, for a macro filter defined as an instance method on a collection Coll, prefix represents an equivalent of this for normal instance methods:

    scala> class Coll[T] {
         | def filter(p: T => Boolean): Coll[T] = macro M.filter[T]
         | }; object M {
         | def filter[T](c: Context { type PrefixType = Coll[T] })
         |              (p: c.Expr[T => Boolean]): c.Expr[Coll[T]] =
         |   {
         |     println(c.prefix.tree)
         |     c.prefix
         |   }
         | }
    defined class Coll

    scala> new Coll[Int]().filter(_ % 2 == 0)
    new Coll[Int]()
    res0: Coll[Int] = ...
    
    scala> val x = new Coll[String]()

    $line11.$read.$iw.$iw.$iw.$iw.$iw.$iw.$iw.$iw.$iw.$iw.$iw.$iw.x
    res1 @ 35563b4b: x.type = ...

    Note how the value of prefix changes depending on the qualifier of the macro call (i.e. the expression that is at the left-hand side of the dot).

    Another noteworthy thing about the snippet above is the Context { type PrefixType = Coll[T] } type that is used to stress that the macro implementation works with prefixes of type Coll[T].

  31. abstract def reifyTree(universe: Tree, mirror: Tree, tree: Tree): Tree

    Given a tree, generate a tree that when compiled and executed produces the original tree.

    Given a tree, generate a tree that when compiled and executed produces the original tree. For more information and examples see the documentation for Universe.reify.

    The produced tree will be bound to the specified universe and mirror. Possible values for universe include universe.internal.gen.mkRuntimeUniverseRef. Possible values for mirror include EmptyTree (in that case the reifier will automatically pick an appropriate mirror).

    This function is deeply connected to Universe.reify, a macro that reifies arbitrary expressions into runtime trees. They do very similar things (Universe.reify calls Context.reifyTree to implement itself), but they operate on different metalevels (see below).

    Let's study the differences between Context.reifyTree and Universe.reify on an example of using them inside a fooMacro macro:

    * Since reify itself is a macro, it will be executed when fooMacro is being compiled (metalevel -1) and will produce a tree that when evaluated during macro expansion of fooMacro (metalevel 0) will recreate the input tree.

    This provides a facility analogous to quasi-quoting. Writing "reify{ expr }" will generate an AST that represents expr. Afterwards this AST (or its parts) can be used to construct the return value of fooMacro.

    * reifyTree is evaluated during macro expansion (metalevel 0) and will produce a tree that when evaluated during the runtime of the program (metalevel 1) will recreate the input tree.

    This provides a way to retain certain trees from macro expansion time to be inspected later, in the runtime. For example, DSL authors may find it useful to capture DSL snippets into ASTs that are then processed at runtime in a domain-specific way.

    Also note the difference between universes of the runtime trees produced by two reifies:

    * The result of compiling and running the result of reify will be bound to the Universe that called reify. This is possible because it's a macro, so it can generate whatever code it wishes.

    * The result of compiling and running the result of reifyTree will be the prefix that needs to be passed explicitly. This happens because the Universe of the evaluated result is from a different metalevel than the Context the called reify.

    Typical usage of this function is to retain some of the trees received/created by a macro into the form that can be inspected (via pattern matching) or compiled/run (by a reflective ToolBox) during the runtime.

    Typechecks the provided tree against the expected type pt in the macro callsite context under typechecking mode specified in mode with TERMmode being default. This populates symbols and types of the tree and possibly transforms it to reflect certain desugarings.

Such errors don't vanish and can be inspected by turning on -Ymacro-debug-verbose. Unlike in inferImplicitValue and inferImplicitView, silent is false by default.

    Typechecking can be steered with the following optional parameters: withImplicitViewsDisabled recursively prohibits implicit views (though, implicit vals will still be looked up and filled in), default value is false withMacrosDisabled recursively prohibits macro expansions and macro-based implicits, default value is false

    In the current implementation of Scala's reflection API, untyped trees (also known as parser trees or unattributed trees) are observationally different from typed trees (also known as typer trees, typechecked trees or attributed trees),

    Usually, if some compiler API takes a tree, then both untyped and typed trees will do. However in some cases, only untyped or only typed trees are appropriate. For example, Evals.eval only accepts untyped trees and one can only splice typed trees inside typed trees. Therefore in the current reflection API, there is a need in functions that go back and forth between untyped and typed trees. For this we have typecheck and untypecheck.

    Note that untypecheck is currently afflicted by https://github.com/scala/bug/issues/5464, which makes it sometimes corrupt trees so that they don't make sense anymore. Unfortunately, there's no workaround for that. We plan to fix this issue soon, but for now please keep it in mind.
