This does the trick:
local M = require 'macro'
local indexes = {
'11','21','31','41',
'12','22','32','42',
'13','23','33','43',
'14','24','34','44'}
local nix = #indexes
M.define('mat4',function(get)
local names = get:names '\n'
for _,name in ipairs(names) do
M.define(name,function(get,put)
local out = {}
for i = 1,nix do
out[i] = name..indexes[i]
end
return put:names(out)
end)
end
end)
M.define('add4(a,b)',function(a,b)
a,b = tostring(a), tostring(b)
local out = {}
for i = 1,nix do
out[i] = a..indexes[i]..'+'..b..indexes[i]
end
return table.concat(out,',')
end)
This program does the desired thing using luam (say luam -d to see the
expanded source)
require_ 'mat'
mat4 A,B
A = 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0
B = 1, 2, 3, 4,
0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4,
1,-2,-3,-4,
1.1,1.2,1.3,1.4
A = add4(A,B)
print(A)
This inlines additions, but multiplications should probably be done as
function, like your mat4add.
A point about this general technique: it would be easy to hit the
maximum number of locals for a given function!
Also, these matrices are rather hard to index ;)
Expressions would be hard in this framework, since LuaMacro just does
lexical substitution. Metalua would then be the preferred route,
except that it directly compiles to 5.1 bytecode.
