#if java compiler flag not available in macro?

[Warren Eng]

I've got this macro function that doesn't seem to recognize build target compiler flags:

public static macro function truthy(value:Null<Dynamic>):Expr

{

#if as3

return macro { $value; };

#elseif java

return macro { ($value != null && $value); };

#end

throw "FOOBAR";

return macro {};

}

It always throws "FOOBAR" even though I'm targeting AS3 or Java.

Should this work, or are compiler flags not available at macro time? Thanks!

Any code that is executed by a macro is executed on a macro context (#if macro), and not by the underlying platform's targets. You'll have to use Context.defined ( http://api.haxe.org/haxe/macro/Context.html#defined ) to check if a flag was defined by the target's context:

if (Context.defined("as3")) { ... }
else if (Context.defined("java")) { ... }

Yup, that worked. Thank you very much!
