# Macros are a small part of julias huge metaprogramming system.
|
|
# There exists a bunch of useful macros, both in julia itself, and in
|
|
# different packages. A macro is basically a function that takes in a list
|
|
# of arguments and generates a code block at compiletime. It is possible
|
|
# to create your own macros, but that takes some reading up on the
|
|
# metaprogramming section in the julia docs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Probably one of my most used macros is the @time macro
|
|
reallyslowfunction() = sleep(2)
|
|
@time reallyslowfunction()
|
|
|
|
# If you want to time a whole code block this is done with a "begin" block
|
|
@time begin
|
|
# Slow code
|
|
sleep(1)
|
|
end

|
# The @inbounds macro removes all checks to see if you try to acces elements
|
|
# outside any container, so might be faster, but definately more unsafe.

a = [1, 2, 3]
