add @locals macro for obtaining dictionary of local vars and values

Wouldn't it make more sense for this to return a named tuple? |

I see this as just a reflection and debugging kind of thing, so a somewhat loosely-typed dictionary seems appropriate. The order of the variables is also going to be all over the place, so not having a well-defined order is a feature. |

Could this be useful in code generation as well? Something like: function eval_with_local_vars(expr::Expr, x, y)
@eval let $(dict_as_assignments(@locals))
$expr
end
endwhich would now let |
No. |
To expand on this a bit, in your example, the |

I just checked out the branch and it actually does have the effect that I want, so maybe I didn't describe it properly. 😊 The point is that the thing inside the function body of julia> function f(expr, x, y)
__locals__ = Base.@locals()
ex = Expr(:let, Expr(:block), Expr(:block,
:(__locals__ = $__locals__),
(:($key = __locals__[$(QuoteNode(key))]) for (key) in keys(__locals__))...,
:(__return__ = $expr),
(:(__locals__[$(QuoteNode(key))] = $key) for (key) in keys(__locals__))...,
:(__return__)))
return eval(ex)
end
f (generic function with 1 method)
julia> expr = :((a) -> a + x + y);
julia> h = f(expr, 1, 2)
#199 (generic function with 1 method)
julia> h(3)

This may sound good but it ruins all ability to optimize anything. |
