in reply to Macro system on B-Level?

I'm wondering if nobody ever tried to implement this

yes, I did, though I abandoned the idea because it got rather complex, and no other perl5-porters seemed to be interested on the idea :-(

Search on the perl5-porters mailing list for the details: http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2006-05/msg00455.html.

Probably, a more advanced version af the patch lays somewhere inside my hard disk.

    very, very interesting! 8 )

    But as far as I understand, you want to hook into the compilation process. Right?

    I was thinking of modifying the optree *after* compilation, isn't it to complex *during* compilation?

    I think, one can already implement this using B::Generate ... but I'm just a beginner with opcodes, and have no overview about the implementation details
