Hello, In this SO question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36191766/metaprogramming-within-docstring-with-eval/36209841#36209841
the following code for (f, name) in ((:add, "addition"), (:sub, "subtraction")) @eval begin @doc """ This is the function $($name) """ function $f() ## FUNCTION BODY end end end works with Julia 0.4 but raises ERROR: LoadError: Invalid @var syntax 'This is the function ' with Julia 0.5 I noticed that it can be fixed for Julia 0.5 adding -> for (f, name) in ((:add, "addition"), (:sub, "subtraction")) @eval begin @doc """ This is the function $($name) """ -> function $f() ## FUNCTION BODY end end end What is exactly the goal of -> with @doc macro ? Why is it necessary with Julia 0.5 and not with Julia 0.4 ? Kind regards
