643 :: Get parent of AST node

• yglukhov (orginal) [2014-11-26T14:49:21+01:00] view original

  Hello, Is there any way to obtain parent of AST node? I want to find the enclosing proc of macro callsite().

  
  macro myMacro(e: expr): stmt =
    echo "name of enclosing function: " ???
  
  proc myFunc() =
    myMacro(0)
  Run

  Thanx.

  This is not supported and won't be supported as it causes all sorts of problems. But you don't want to get the parent of the AST node, you want the instantiation context which is more reasonable but not possible for now.
