Using a type in a generated module

General Usage
1

Hi,

I am looking for a way to generate a module using a type which is not imported in the generated module, meaning i need the full path to the type.

How can i get this done?
Here is an example:

module DF

	is_module(a) = false

	is_module(e::Expr) = e.head == :module

	make_top_level(e::Expr) =
           if e.head == :block && any( is_module.(e.args) )
               Expr(:toplevel, e.args...)
           elseif e.head == :block
               Expr(:block, make_top_level.(e.args)...)
           else
               e
           end
    end

	struct MM
		x::Int
	end

	macro cm(amod,typ)
		esc(make_top_level(quote
			module $amod
				export mms
				struct mms
					x::$typ
				end
			end
		end))
	end

	@cm ESS MM
end

the generated code is as follows:

:($(Expr(:toplevel, :( # REPL[5], line 3:), :(module ESS # REPL[5], line 3: # REPL[5], line 4:
    export mms # REPL[5], line 5:
    struct mms # REPL[5], line 6:
        x::MM
    end
    end))))

However i want it to be like

:($(Expr(:toplevel, :( # REPL[5], line 3:), :(module ESS # REPL[5], line 3: # REPL[5], line 4:
    export mms # REPL[5], line 5:
    struct mms # REPL[5], line 6:
        x::DF.MM
    end
    end))))

Thanks

You could try

macro cm(amod,typ)
	esc(make_top_level(quote
		module $amod
			export mms
			struct mms
				x::$(current_module()).$typ
			end
		end
	end))
end

with x::$(current_module()).$typ
