  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.

# Enclosures 

###

#### trait Enclosures extends AnyRef

EXPERIMENTAL

A slice of the Scala macros context that exposes enclosing trees (method, class, compilation unit and currently compiled macro application), the enclosing position of the macro expansion, as well as macros and implicits that are currently in-flight.

Starting from Scala 2.11.0, the APIs to get the trees enclosing by the current macro application are deprecated, and the reasons for that are two-fold. Firstly, we would like to move towards the philosophy of locally-expanded macros, as it has proven to be important for understanding of code. Secondly, within the current architecture of scalac, we are unable to have c.enclosingTree-style APIs working robustly. Required changes to the typechecker would greatly exceed the effort that we would like to expend on this feature given the existence of more pressing concerns at the moment. This is somewhat aligned with the overall evolution of macros during the 2.11 development cycle, where we played with `c.introduceTopLevel` and `c.introduceMember`, but at the end of the day decided to reject them.

If you're relying on the now deprecated APIs, consider using the new c.internal.enclosingOwner method that can be used to obtain the names of enclosing definitions. Alternatively try reformulating your macros in terms of completely local expansion and/or joining a discussion of a somewhat related potential language feature at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/scala-debate/f4CLmYShX6Q. We also welcome questions and suggestions on our mailing lists, where we would be happy to further discuss this matter.

### Abstract Value Members

1.  abstract def enclosingMacros: List[blackbox.Context]

   Contexts that represent macros in-flight, including the current one.

   Contexts that represent macros in-flight, including the current one. Very much like a stack trace, but for macros only. Can be useful for interoperating with other macros and for imposing compiler-friendly limits on macro expansion.

   Is also priceless for emitting sane error messages for macros that are called by other macros on synthetic (i.e. position-less) trees. In that dire case navigate the `enclosingMacros` stack, and it will most likely contain at least one macro with a position-ful macro application. See `enclosingPosition` for a default implementation of this logic.

   Unlike `openMacros`, this is a val, which means that it gets initialized when the context is created and always stays the same regardless of whatever happens during macro expansion.

2.  abstract def enclosingPosition: blackbox.Context.Position

   Tries to guess a position for the enclosing application.

   Tries to guess a position for the enclosing application. But that is simple, right? Just dereference `pos` of `macroApplication`? Not really. If we're in a synthetic macro expansion (no positions), we must do our best to infer the position of something that triggered this expansion. Surprisingly, quite often we can do this by navigation the `enclosingMacros` stack.

3.  abstract def macroApplication: blackbox.Context.Tree

   The tree that undergoes macro expansion.

   The tree that undergoes macro expansion. Can be useful to get an offset or a range position of the entire tree being processed.

4.  abstract def enclosingClass: blackbox.Context.Tree

   Tree that corresponds to the enclosing class, or EmptyTree if not applicable.

   Tree that corresponds to the enclosing class, or EmptyTree if not applicable.
