Unrolled.jl – problems with "where" keyword

General Usage
1

I have a function that takes an SVector of some type, i.e.

function foo(vec::SVector{2,T}) where T
    for x in vec
        #do something with x
    end
end

and want to use Unrolled.jl on it. However, when I add the @unroll macro like this

@unroll function foo(vec::SVector{2,T}) where T
    @unroll for x in vec
        #do something with x
    end
end

I get an error message: LoadError: AssertionError: @unroll must precede a function definition

Is there anything I’m doing wrong or is Unrolled.jl just not able to deal with wheres?

Haven’t used Unrolled.jl before, but the readme and tests don’t show any examples of @unroll function ..., it’s just applied to for loops.

This looks like a bug in Unrolled.jl to me. The relevant line is here: https://github.com/cstjean/Unrolled.jl/blob/b71319847801847426886ca0720a7b5277ca09ff/src/Unrolled.jl#L70 and should probably include an @capture that matches against functions with where clauses. You can play around with this yourself using MacroTools.jl:

julia> using MacroTools

julia> @capture(:(function foo(x); end), function fname_(args__) body__ end)
true

julia> @capture(:(function foo(x) where {T}; end), function fname_(args__) body__ end)
false

julia> @capture(:(function foo(x) where {T}; end), function fname_(args__) where {T__} body__ end)
true

Should be fixed on Unrolled.jl’s master. Thank you for the bug report.

If you’re using MacroTools, you might be interested in splitdef and combinedef for processing function definitions.
