@register_module does not work from outside Gen package #7

Closed marcoct closed 7 years ago

marcoct commented 7 years ago

You cannot currently use @register_macro from outside Gen itself it seems. It is essential to be able to declare new modules in user space, outside of Gen. There is a workaround which is to add a different registration function that automates less, requiring a little more boilerplate for the module declaration.

This is not acceptable for user experience. I will assume now that users will not be writing their own modules. This will need to be fixed before we expect users to write their own modules.

Obviated by new method for registering modules: https://github.com/probcomp/Gen.jl/commit/cbbdcab715e0cfb2e49597a4c2aa0054f8923a1b
