  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 Expr[T](tree: blackbox.Context.Tree)(implicit arg0: blackbox.Context.WeakTypeTag[T]): blackbox.Context.Expr[T]

   A shorthand to create an expr.

   A shorthand to create an expr.

   Unlike the conventional expr factory, which requires a scala.reflect.api.TreeCreator, this one accepts a regular tree, but the resulting exprs are unable of being migrated to other universes/mirrors (the functionality normally not needed for macros, since there is only one compile-time universe and only one compile-time mirror).

2.  abstract def TypeTag[T](tpe: blackbox.Context.Type): blackbox.Context.TypeTag[T]

   A shorthand to create a type tag.

3.  abstract def WeakTypeTag[T](tpe: blackbox.Context.Type): blackbox.Context.WeakTypeTag[T]

   A shorthand to create a weak type tag.
