Timothy (Mar 07 2022 at 16:01): Timothy (Mar 07 2022 at 16:01):I have a string macro I'd like to document after-the-fact.
Looking at the @doc docs I see the section where it says to try @doc "..." :(mystr"") or @doc "..." :(@Module.macro) however I haven't had any success with either of those forms. Looking at Docs.jl I see
# For the special `:@mac` / `:(Base.@mac)` syntax for documenting a macro after definition.
isquotedmacrocall(@nospecialize x) =
isexpr(x, :copyast, 1) &&
isa(x.args[1], QuoteNode) &&
isexpr(x.args[1].value, :macrocall, 2)
However isquotedmacrocall seems to return false for both of the forms mentioned in that comment (@mac, :(Base.@mac)), and so I'm at bit of a loss.
Fredrik Ekre (Mar 07 2022 at 16:14):Does the syntax
"""
name"..."
Something something.
"""
:(@name_str)
work? See https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/documentation/#Macros.
Timothy (Mar 07 2022 at 16:23):This is quite odd. That did work, but going through my edit history I've already tried that before. I wonder if this could have been Revise.jl / state mutation -related weirdness.
In a fresh Julia session :(@name_str) is fine, but in my original session I tried all of the following without success:
:(org""):(@org_str):@org_str:(:@org_str)):($(QuoteNode(:(@org_str)))) Notification Bot (Mar 07 2022 at 16:26):Timothy has marked this topic as resolved.
