Manipulate Several Classes With Only One @:autoubuild directive?

[AlienCoder]

Hello community,

I dare to collect my first experiences with this 'dark matter' macro programming in HAXE.

I would like to access manipulate all classes that are processed throughout their reference within the main() method.

For example:

Main
{

main()
{

[ complementary 'macrofized' code ]
var x = AnyClass.anyFunction( y );

}

}

AnyClass
{

anyFunction( variable : Type )
{

[ another complementary 'macrofized' code ]

[ the original function code ]

}

}

I only can use the @:autobuild directive only for child classes right?

How can I manipulate classes that occure because they are referenced in any way without to place the @:build or @:autobuild directive on each of them?

Is it possible anyway?
If it is, how can I exclude library classes / regular HAXE classes to be manipulated?

Kind regards
Michael

Add this to your build configuration:

--macro addGlobalMetadata('', '@:build(my.macro.GlobalBuilder.build())', true, true, false)

Hello Alexander,

thank you for your reply.

Quick and simple. But very helpful.

Have a nice weekend.

Kind regards

Hello again, Alexander,

I have experimented a lot with the addGlobalMetadata compiler method. I always come to the conclusion that the compiler compiles the regular haxe classes as well, when he is in the recursive mode.

You can see it here (cmd output):



So he parses the expressions of the std/ package of the haxe libraries and probably any other he finds there.
How can I prevent this? I am thankful for any idea...

Kind regards
Michael

You need to set `pathFilter` argument to desired package. Like --macro addGlobalMetadata('my.pack', '@:build(my.macro.GlobalBuilder.build())', true, true, false)

Or filter out unwanted types in in your build macro:

macro static public fucntion build () {

     if (/* check if current type is in you ignore list */) return null;

     //useful stuff
}

Thanks again for your reply.

It turned out to be a little more complicated than expected. But I think, I found good solution.

Kind regards
