José, thank you as always for your engagement.
I am basically hand-crafting the AST, mostly via leex/yecc with a few
after-parsing transformations. So I’m left with an AST in literal form (i.e.
as a list of tuples - is that the right expression?). What I’ve worked on in
the mean time that does what I want is:
# Generate the functions to process plural rules
@spec do_cardinal(binary, number, number, number, number, number, number)
:: :one | :two | :few | :many | :other
Enum.each Cldr.known_locales, fn (locale) ->
function_body = cardinal_rules[locale] |>
rules_to_condition_statement(__MODULE__)
function = quote do
defp do_cardinal(unquote(locale), n, i, v, w, f, t), do:
unquote(function_body)
end
Code.eval_quoted(function, [], __ENV__)
end
In this case there’s no macro involved but I feel a little “unclean” about
doing the Code.eval_quoted/3 part.
