This allows macros to take a keyword dict containing useful things by
defining a keyword argument. This allows us to pass in new objects
which might be handy to have in macros.
This changeset refactors module_name to become `compiler`, so that we
can pass the compiler itself into the macros as `opts['compiler']`.
This allows the macro to both get the macro name
(`compiler.module_name`), as well as use the compiler to build AST.
In the future, this will enable us to create "super-macros" which return
AST, not HyAST, in order to manually create insane things from userland.
For userland macros (not `defmacro`) the core.language `macroexpand`
will go ahead and make a new compiler for you.
The `with-decorator` special form is not the most ergonomic—this commit
introduces a new builtin `#@` reader macro that expands to an invocation
of `with-decorator`. To support this, `reader_macroexpand` is made to
also look in the default `None` namespace, in imitation of how
regular (non-reader) macros defined in hy.core are looked up. The
docstring of `hy.macros.reader` is also edited slightly for accuracy.
This in the matter of issue #856.
Currently '.replace' method is used to replace hy objects. This is not
safe when we are not sure if the 'obj' in 'obj.replace(other)' is an
instance of HyObject.
In these cases, we can use function 'replace_hy_obj(obj, other)'
instead. This function will try to wrap 'obj' if it's not an instance of
HyObject.
This also means that we need a wrapping function in hy.models'. Hence I
moved the '_wrap_value' function from hy.macros into hy.models. To avoid
circular importing, the wrapper functions are provided individually by
each model type's own file.
For example:
```
$ hy
hy 0.10.1 using CPython(default) 2.7.8 on Darwin
=> (defmacro hi [] (raise (TypeError "This message will be truncated")))
=> (hi)
File "<input>", line 1, column 1
(hi)
^--^
HyMacroExpansionError: `hi' message will be truncated
````
One would expect the form:
> (defmacro a (&rest b) b)
> (a 1 2)
To return a tuple object but we have no Hy model so it returns a HyList.
Not sure if this is the right thing to do.
Added first iteration of reader macros
Refactored defmacro and defreader
Added test inn hy/tests/lex/test_lex.py
Added new test in hy/tests/native/tests
Added new test in hy/tests/macros.
changed the error given in the dispatch macro and added some handling for missing symbol and invalid characters
There was a couple of duplicate imports and type checkings in the
codebase. So I added a new module to unify all Python 2 and 3
compatibility codes.
Also, this is a somewhat common pattern in Python. See Jinja2 for
example:
https://github.com/mitsuhiko/jinja2/blob/master/jinja2/_compat.py
This will let us use (basic) yield from behavior from Python 2. This
isn't complete, and is low-hanging fruit for others willing to hack
on hy.
I've also changed the macrosystem to allow for proper bootstrapping.
This is similar to how it's done elsewhere in the codebase (stdlib
stuff).
A macro is available in the module where it was defined and
in any module that does a require of the defining module.
Only macros defined in hy.core are globally available.
Fixes#181
We can know use any amount and type of bytes to build a HyString, meaning we
can use Unicode and UTF-8 for our function and variables.
Eat that, snake!
