  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.

### Abstract Value Members

1.  abstract def eval[T](expr: blackbox.Context.Expr[T]): T

   Takes a typed wrapper for a tree of type `T` and evaluates it to a value of type `T`.

   Takes a typed wrapper for a tree of type `T` and evaluates it to a value of type `T`.

   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]) = {
            | val x1 = c.Expr[String](c.untypecheck(x.tree.duplicate))
            | println(s"compile-time value is: ${c.eval(x1)}")
            | x
            | }
       impl: (c: Context)(x: c.Expr[String])c.Expr[String]

       scala> def test(x: String) = macro impl
       test: (x: String)String

       scala> test("x")
       compile-time value is: x
       res0: String = x

       scala> test("x" + "y")
       compile-time value is: xy
       res1: String = xy

       scala> val x = "x"
       x: String = x

       scala> test(x + "y")
       compile-time value is: xy
       res2: String = xy

       scala> { val x = "x"; test(x + "y") }
       error: exception during macro expansion:
       scala.tools.reflect.ToolBoxError: reflective compilation failed

   Note that in the last case evaluation has failed, because the argument of a macro refers to a runtime value `x`, which is unknown at compile time.
