haxe.PosInfos and macro

[filt3rek]

Hej,

When using ?pos : haxe.PosInfos as last argument onto a macro function (inline expression) I get this message : haxe.PosInfos is not allowed on macro functions, use Context.currentPos() instead But It still works when using init macro functions, Idk if it's normal (I use it to get the call {methodName: toString, fileName: --macro Macro.test(), className: , lineNumber: 1} because haxe.macro.Context.currentPos() gives #pos((unknown)) and it would be handy if it gave us the build file position or something like that... And I get compiler error when doing that on build macro functions : https://try.haxe.org/#4C2d8a8e

Regards,

currentPos produces a Position which is opaque to the macro execution environment and can cause havoc if you try and construct one.

Position is part of the AST and separate and distinct from haxe.PosInfos which is only available in a runtime environment.

The try.haxe link is showing

Macro.hx:4: #pos(Test.hx:2: characters 1-8)

Sorry, I've given wrong url to try haxe for error, this is the correct one : https://try.haxe.org/#DeBb38Fb :

And ok, but I throwed this issue just to maybe uniform the behaviour because i.e. for init macro, haxe.PosInfos is kind of working giving me {methodName: toString, fileName: --macro Macro.test(), className: , lineNumber: 1} so it's not only working for runtime whereas haxe.macro.Context.currentPos() gives #pos((unknown)) in init macro...
