Hello
Is it possible to stringify macros argument in erlang? In cpp we have
#EXPR which replaces with string value of EXPR. I wrote something like
this using parse_transform, but it is ugly, requires too much
workarounds for works in every place in code and almost not works :)
For example I want:
-define(ASSERT(Cond), if '$@'(Cond) -> ok; true -> io:format("[~w:~b]:
Assertion: ~p~n", [?MODULE, ?LINE, '$#'(Cond)]) end).
and code like:
?ASSERT(asd =:= 123)
will prints:
[mod:432]: Assertion: "asd =:= 123"
Also, is there any right method to put asserts or my idea is wrong in base?
Thank you.
