Does monkey have macros?

Hi guys. I want to whip up a unit testing framework and need macros to do so. Does monkey have ’em?

Cheers

Macros are not there.
There is aliases but not real macros.

You need macros for processor logic or for generating code?

Also I found today that with the powers of reflection you can literally change the objects at runtime. See reflectiontest.monkey2 example.

@cocon I just need macros to wrap code so I can do something like this

REQUIRES(DoSomething() = false) and have the code portion both checked and put into an exception to help with error tracking.

Basically if you look at any C++ UNIT testing framework like Catch etc, then I want that sort of functionality.

I see, in that case you would go for classic functions at this time.

This is a feature that does not exist in Monkey. You can get only
the most basic directives for preprocessor conditional logic.

There is an Assert function in monkey.debug namespace to check conditions.
