Haxe 4: Uncaught exception macro-in-macro

Question

I had code like this working with Haxe 3:

macro public static function get(key:String)
{
    return Context.makeExpr(Context.definedValue(key), Context.currentPos());
}

However, after migrating to Haxe 4 this fails to compile with error:

Uncaught exception macro-in-macro

How should I go about migrating this function to Haxe 4? Is there a better way to access build flags in order to avoid this issue?

Answer 1

We ended up removing this whole get method and switching occurrences to use Compiler.getDefine() instead, which is supported both by Haxe 3 and 4.

I believe the problem we were facing was related with the fact that this static macro get was being called from our test runner script, so that probably was the place where a macro was calling another macro. Still, I tried to put the solution suggested by Jeff Ward in place but kept getting the same result.
