stataBuilding Domain-Specific Languages with Racket's #lang
Stop fighting generic syntax. Learn how Racket's #lang allows you to build custom Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) that integrate directly into the compiler.
racketCrystal Macros: Compile-Time Metaprogramming Without the Runtime Bill
Crystal replaces Ruby's runtime metaprogramming with compile-time macros. Here's how JSON::Serializable and a small getter-generating macro work, what they cost, and how to verify expansions.
Stale cache results in Haxe compilation server
Compilation Server Cache Invalidation The Haxe compilation server, utilized via --connect or --server-listen , optimizes build times by caching typed modules in memory. This mechanism relies on file paths and content hashes to determine when a module or its dependencies require re-typing. In environments utilizing generated files or complex macro-driven code
haxeType not found during @:build macro expansion
Type Resolution in Build Macros Haxe macros annotated with @:build operate during the compilation process before full type checking is completed. A specific challenge arises when these macros generate code that references types defined later within the same source file. While the macro API allows for the generation of complex structures, the compiler's abili
Nested #if blocks inside macros produce unexpected AST ordering
Goal: Determine how nested conditional compilation interacts with macro expansion The Haxe compiler evaluates conditional compilation directives (#if, #elseif, #else) at compile‑time, but the interaction with macro‑based transformations is not fully specified. When complex nested #if blocks are expanded by a macro, the order in which the compiler evaluates t
Crystal AOT compilation and JSON::Serializable macro: generic union type resolution across compilation units
Integration boundary Crystal's ahead-of-time compiler performs whole-program type inference while the JSON::Serializable macro expands at compile time to generate serialization code. When a generic type contains a union of concrete types that are only fully resolved after macro expansion in a separate compilation unit, the interaction between these two compi
crystalMinitab macro error on incompatible column types: partial writes and retry safety
Minitab worksheets store columns with types such as numeric, text, or date/time. Operations that combine worksheets, such as APPEND or STACK, generally require compatible column counts and types; a mismatch is a documented failure condition. Commands can be run from the command line, stored in macros, or recorded in the History folder. When a macro runs sequ
minitabCan pragma-based warning suppression reliably silence diagnostics from macro expansions?
Goal: Assess if the local warning suppression pragma ({.push warning: off.} / {.pop.}) can be relied upon to hide diagnostics that are emitted from within macro or template expansions. Constraints: The suppression applies lexically to the surrounding source block, but macros can inject code that is compiled outside that block, potentially causing warnings to
