Macro Support for Squeak

This project is a framework which provides compile-time macros for Squeak. It is primarily focused on macros that need to generate additional methods or check constraints. It is integrated with OmniBrowser and Squeak's Debugger.

How to Install

Environment
	4.1, 4.2
	Any

Use the Metacello configuration or just load the CTM package. If you also want OmniBrowser support, load the XXX package, too.

You can find the following categories in the packages:

CTM-Core

core implemenation including the event listener

CTM-Operations

supported operations, currently those for methods

CTM-Tests

some basic tests, all should pass

CTM-Examples

basic macros, see the class documentation of each for details

How to Use

To create a macro you have to extend the CTMMacro class. The following methods are called by the system:

matchMethodPragma: aPragma

This should return true if the macro wants to process a method annotated with aPragma or false otherwise. Additionally the method can be used to store additional information that are found in the pragma, e.g. pragma parameters.

matchClassPragma: aPragma

Same as matchMethodPragma: but for classes and their pragmas.

How to Extend

Internal documentation. Show models, explain the architecture. Do anything that may help a new developer to extend this project.
