When I try to add macro annotation to my case class:
@macid case class CC[A: T](val x: A)
I get an error message:
private[this] not allowed for case class parameters
@macid is just an identity function defined as a white box of StaticAnnotation:
import scala.language.experimental.macros
import scala.reflect.macros.whitebox.Context
import scala.annotation.StaticAnnotation
class macid extends StaticAnnotation {
def macroTransform(annottees: Any*): Any = macro macidMacro.impl
}
object macidMacro {
def impl(c: Context)(annottees: c.Expr[Any]*): c.Expr[Any] = {
new Macros[c.type](c).macidMacroImpl(annottees.toList)
}
}
class Macros[C <: Context](val c: C) {
import c.universe._
def macidMacroImpl(annottees: List[c.Expr[Any]]): c.Expr[Any] =
annottees(0)
}
Human code works:
case class CC[A: T](val x: A)
It works if I remove the context binding:
@macid case class CC[A](val x: A)
What happens is due to a context constraint in the private parameter. The following code snippet gets the same error:
@macid case class CC[A](val x: A)(implicit aIsT: T[A])
To get the working code, I make the implicit parameter publicly available with val:
@macid case class CC[A](val x: A)(implicit val aIsT: T[A])
So my questions are: What is the right way to annotate a macro to maintain context boundaries? Why does the compiler check non-private-parameters-of-case-classes of code generated by the macro, but fail to check regular code?
