From object Naming below (adapted from answer in Scala macro get enclosing line), which gathers the label associated to a value,
val x = Naming.apply("")
x: String = x
would like to modify the apply method so that it would deliver a new Naming instance where assignedName takes the assigned value label, namely,
val x = Naming()
assert( x.assignedName == "x")
In the code that follows, a naƮve change like this
def apply(s: String): String = Naming( macro impl )
cannot work. Any working approach to instantiate assignedName is much valued.
case class Naming(var assignedName: String = "") {
val m = collection.mutable.Map[String,Int]()
}
object Naming {
import scala.language.experimental.macros
import scala.reflect.macros.Context
def apply(s: String): String = macro impl
def impl(c: Context)(s: c.Expr[String]): c.Expr[String] = {
import c.universe._
c.enclosingClass.collect {
case ValDef(_, name, _, rhs) if rhs.pos == c.macroApplication.pos =>
c.literal(name.decoded)
}.headOption.getOrElse(
c.literal("")
)
}
}
Update In apply method, reify'ing the Naming instance with assisgnedName updated might be a solution. If viable, how could this be implemented ?
