I wanted to write some simple infix math. (See code at end of issue)
I thought, this would work using invoke, now that lists can be the first argument of lists.
Problem:
If the first argument of a list is a non-symbol form evaluating not to a function pointer, it does not work.
Examples (for code which currently produces errors):
(2) (values have to be defined as variables first)
((f …) …) where (f …) returns not a function pointer and expands not to a symbol
It would be nice when these things would be possible as well.
Also see #137
Here the code:
(import macros)
(def invoke (macro extern (a)
a))
(using-namespace std.macros
(mfor T (int uint float double long-double
int8 int16 int32 int64 int128
uint8 uint16 uint32 uint64 uint128)
(def invoke (macro extern ((a T) op rest)
(def list (var auto \ (get-varargs-list mc (- (arg-count mc) 2) rest)))
(qq (uq op) (uq a) ((uql list))))))
)
(def main (fn extern-c void (void)
(printf "%i\n" (((2)))) ;;=>2, multiple brackets now possible with every type
(printf "%i\n" (1 + 2)) ;;=>3, infix operators for numbers
(printf "%i\n" (1 + 2 * 3)) ;;=>7, math is right associative
(printf "%i\n" ((1 + 2) * 3)) ;;=>9, use brackets to change associativity
))
