Haxe 3 "bind" function is not expanded before macros?

[Andreas Söderlund]

Hello, I've noticed that when using the new bind feature, the generated function is not accessible from macros, it seems to be created after macro processing. I need access so I can modify it based on its closure. Any way to do this?

If you have control over the call-site, you can invoke the macro like so:

using YourMacroClass;
...
"foo".bind.yourMacroFunction();

Otherwise you could open an issue. I suppose we could add a
roundtrip-function to haxe.macro.ExprTools.

Unfortunately not, the macro will be used in a library so I'd like to avoid introducing a special case. Quite easy to forget (already done it a few times!)

I'll do that. How would that roundtripping work, btw?

It would type the expression, then convert it back to untyped AST.
