There are various situations in which one may want to embed source code from one language into another, for example when combining relational query languages with application code or when performing staged meta-programming. Typically, one will want to transfer data between these languages. We propose an approach in which the embedded code shares variables with the host language, preserving lexical scoping rules even after the code is converted into an intermediate representation. We demonstrate this approach through a module for meta-programming using Lua as both embedded and host languages. Our technique supports dynamically generated code, requires no special annotation of functions to be translated and is implemented as a library, requiring no source pre-processing or changes to the host language execution environment. |
