Julia v0.7 @__MODULE__ problem

[Qiyamah]

Julia no longer supports @current_module, so in this regard every `@macromethod should has a built in current_module variable, right? is there a plan to implement it?

@macromethod  object(head, begin *{body} end) begin
      parse_head(head)
      parse_body(body)
end

body may include macros such as

@object SS begin
    @stub fun
end

while you are parsing the body , you may want to expand the macro with macroexpand which now takes the expression and the module.

Thanks

Yes, that's the purpose of #41. I had some trouble compiling julia but that's solved now, so I can finally come back to this. Hopefully I will have 0.7 support very soon.

As for macro-expanding, I think that's best left to the user, because they might want to dispatch on or manipulate macro calls. The __module__ variable can be used:

@macromethod object(head, begin *{body} end) begin
    parse_head(macroexpand(__module__, head))
    parse_body((x->macroexpand(__module__, x)).(body))
end

Which now that I've typed it out looks pretty ugly, so I might implement some sort of shortcut, like:

local macroexpand(m,x) = Base.macroexpand(m, x)
macroexpand(x) = macroexpand(__module__, x)

At the start of every method or something. (I can probably think of something better)
