Trait scala.reflect.macros.whitebox.Context

trait Context extends blackbox.Context

EXPERIMENTAL

The whitebox 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 whitebox.Context, then this macro def becomes a whitebox macro, gaining the ability to refine the type of its expansion beyond its official return type, which enables a number of important use cases. Blackbox macros, i.e. the ones defined with blackbox.Context, can't do that, so they are less powerful. However blackbox macros are also going to enjoy better support than whitebox macros, so choose wisely. See the Macros Guide for more information.

abstract def enclosingImplicits: List[ImplicitCandidate]

Information about one of the currently considered implicit candidates. Candidates are used in plural form, because implicit parameters may themselves have implicit parameters, hence implicit searches can recursively trigger other implicit searches.

Can be useful to get information about an application with an implicit parameter that is materialized during current macro expansion. If we're in an implicit macro being expanded, it's included in this list.

Unlike openImplicits, 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.

abstract def enclosingMacros: List[Context]

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.

abstract def enclosingPosition: Position

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.

abstract def eval[T](expr: Expr[T]): 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.

abstract val prefix: Expr[PrefixType]

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
defined module Macros

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

scala> val x = new Coll[String]()
x: Coll[String] = ...

scala> x.filter(_ != "")
$line11.$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].

abstract def reifyRuntimeClass(tpe: Type, concrete: Boolean = true): Tree

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. 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.

abstract def typecheck(tree: Tree, mode: TypecheckMode = TERMmode, pt: Type = universe.WildcardType, silent: Boolean = false, withImplicitViewsDisabled: Boolean = false, withMacrosDisabled: Boolean = false): Tree

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.

If silent is false, TypecheckException will be thrown in case of a typecheck error. If silent is true, the typecheck is silent and will return EmptyTree if an error occurs. 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

abstract def unreifyTree(tree: Tree): Tree

Undoes reification of a tree.

This reversion doesn't simply restore the original tree (that would lose the context of reification), but does something more involved that conforms to the following laws:

1) unreifyTree(reifyTree(tree)) != tree // unreified tree is tree + saved context // in current implementation, the result of unreify is opaque // i.e. there's no possibility to inspect underlying tree/context

2) reifyTree(unreifyTree(reifyTree(tree))) == reifyTree(tree) // the result of reifying a tree in its original context equals to // the result of reifying a tree along with its saved context

3) compileAndEval(unreifyTree(reifyTree(tree))) ~ compileAndEval(tree) // at runtime original and unreified trees are behaviorally equivalent

abstract def untypecheck(tree: Tree): Tree

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, 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.
