Macro Trouble

[AlienCoder]

Hello Community,

I try to get familiar with HAXE macros. Therefore I have done some own experiments (not very successfully). Finally I have tried to get a script from GitHub to run:

https://gist.github.com/FuzzyWuzzie/412e2109a5f5fbcf12e1

The compiler claims:

src/Profile.hx 54:    Class <haxe.macro.Context> has no field 'makeExpr'

Which is a vicious lie of that damn mashine...

I have had a look in the specific class as maybe the API has changed in the meantime.

Confusingly this function is still present.

And I can't solute a problem, that apperently does not exist.
...

Another hint:
In the orignal code the error causing line is written as macro { ... } which is the shorthand for Context.makeExpr()

Does anybody have an idea?

HAXE macros are really cool. But still they are a secret science as many peoply say...

Kind regards
Michael

You need to add

#if macro

private static function remapReturn(expr:Expr):Expr
...

#end

around functions that don't have macro keyword and contain macro specific code. Class haxe.macro.Context doesn't have any methods when compiler generating final code.
