#The parse_trans application#
Authors: Ulf Wiger (ulf@feuerlabs.com).
A generic parse transform library This library is intended to simplify the task of writing parse transform modules for Erlang.
#Introduction to parse transforms#
##The simplest transform##
The very simplest transform we can make is one that doesn't change a thing. For convenience, we will at least print the forms. This will enlighten us as to what the forms actually look like.
-module(test_pt).-export([parse_transform/2]).
parse_transform(Forms, _Options) -> io:fwrite("Forms =
pn", [Forms]), Forms.
Trying this with a very simple module:
-module(ex1). -export([add/2]).add(X,Y) -> X + Y.
1> c(ex1, [{parse_transform,test_pt}]).
Forms = [{attribute,1,file,{"./ex1.erl",1}},
{attribute,1,module,ex1},
{attribute,2,export,[{add,2}]},
{function,4,add,2,
[{clause,4,
[{var,4,'X'},{var,4,'Y'}],
[],
[{op,5,'+',{var,5,'X'},{var,5,'Y'}}]}]},
{eof,6}]
{ok,ex1}
