<expand|section|Macro expansion (1.0.2.3 -- 1.0.2.7)>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An important internal change concerning the data format has been made:
|
||
|
|
macro expansions and function applications like
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<\scheme-fragment>
|
||
|
|
(expand <em|tag> <em|arg-1> ... <em|arg-n>)
|
||
|
|
</scheme-fragment>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<\scheme-fragment>
|
||
|
|
(apply <em|tag> <em|arg-1> ... <em|arg-n>)
|
||
|
|
</scheme-fragment>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
are now replaced by hard-coded tags
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<\scheme-fragment>
|
||
|
|
(<em|tag> <em|arg-1> ... <em|arg-n>)
|
||
|
|
</scheme-fragment>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Moreover, functions have systematically been replaced by macros. The few
|
||
|
|
built-in functions which may take an arbitrary number of arguments have
|
||
|
|
been rewritten using the new <markup|xmacro> construct. If you ever wrote
|
||
|
|
such a function yourself, then you will need to rewrite it too.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The new approach favorites a uniform treatment of macros and functions and
|
||
|
|
makes the internal representation match with the corresponding
|
||
|
|
<name|Scheme> representation. More and more information about tags will
|
||
|
|
gradually be stored in the <abbr|D.R.D.> (Data Relation Definition). This
|
||
|
|
information is mostly determined automatically using heuristics.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Notice that some perverse errors might arise because of the above changes.

||
