| | Macro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A macro language is a programming language in which all or most computation is done by expanding macros. | | | A macro in computer science is an abstraction, whereby a certain textual pattern is replaced according to a defined set of rules. | | | This limitation can be overcome by creating a computer program in a more powerful programming language, such as VBA, to generate a specialized macro in the weaker programming language. |

| | A macro instruction is written by a programmer to indicate the performance of a task that requires several assembly language instructions. | | | Another indication of machine dependence is the flavor of the instructions themselves; machine language instructions name specific registers of the computer system and process data in the physical form in which that data exists in that computer system. | | | Machine language instructions have generally been quite primitive; it is the arrangement of these instructions into machine language programs that enables the specification of useful algorithms. |

| | Macro viruses spread via infected files, such as documents, spreadsheets, databases or any computer program that allows the use of macro languages. | | | Macro viruses are particularly prolific because people exchange documents and spreadsheets more frequently than program files and floppy disks, and macro viruses are very easy to create and modify. | | | Macros are series of commands used to perform software application tasks, such as text formatting. |

| | Domain Specific Meta Langauges |
| | Meta languages we give its solution in the form of an attribute grammar which uses three meta languages for defining attributes: a general purpose language similar to those in most attribute grammar systems, a macro language for defining the textual target code, and a simple language designed to specify an environment. | | | Macro processors are however rarely used as a single solution in writing language translators since the extensions provided for handling non-textual data are inadequate for the complex semantics of modern languages. | | | Because we can automatically generate meta language processors from their specifications it is not difficult to extend a meta language with new features or to build a completely new one, as we did for the environment attribute. |

| | Fred Delcomyn - Research - Simulation: Scripting Languages and Config++ |
| | Scripting and macro languages are computer programming languages designed facilitate the rapid construction and configuration of applications. | | | For example, one might use the macro language in a spreadsheet program to write an algorithm for computing credit risk based on past history. | | | The first goal is to provide a generic configuration language that would be intuitive and easy to use by application end-users who are not programmers, and still be powerful enough to support the manipulation of complex, hierarchical data structures by application programmers. |

| | Introduction to Macro Viruses [Dr. Solomon] |
| | When the macro language allows files to be modified, it becomes possible to create macros which copy themselves from one file to another. | | | Modern applications combine both approaches; and their advanced macro languages are as complex as general purpose programming languages. | | | Macros are designed to make life easier; for example, to perform some everyday tasks like text-formatting or spreadsheet calculations. |

| | LOW-LEVEL MACROS The big advantage of Lisp-style low-level macros is that you can perform code analysis during the rewriting of the macro---since you have the full power of a programming language, and the expressions are represented as data structures, you can do many things that are difficult to express in a high-level pattern-matching-and-template-filling framework. | | | It is common to write macros that intentionally create new binding environments, and intentionally evaluate their arguments in the new environment, rather than the environment where the macro is called. | | | That is, at the language level the programmer is defining new syntax (and a mapping from those syntactic constructs onto the base language) and the implementation must ensure that name conflicts don't break the usual lexical scope rules. |

| | The Common Lisp Cookbook - Macros and Backquote |
| | The word macro is used generally in computer science to mean a syntactic extension to a programming language. | | | For complex macros, watch out for cases where the order that expressions are evaluated differs from the order in which they are written. | | | Finally, macros are essential for defining "command languages." A command is a function with a short name for use by users in interacting with Lisp's read-eval-print loop. |

| | GIS World Review of "Watch What I Do" |
| | Scripting languages are high-level languages that have a limited instruction set and, as a result, are easy to learn and use. | | | Macro recorders also are used in GIS packages that have complex, command line interfaces where an operation may involve many distinct steps such as ARC/INFO, a package developed by Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI). | | | PBD is more generalized than the macro approach and is akin to programming in the user interface (Halbert, 1993). |

| | Macro Viruses |
| | Nonresident viruses are analogous to macro viruses, which do not move their code to the system resources area - to infect other document files they either look for them with the help of the built in file functions of Word, or scan the list of recently edited files (Recently used file list). | | | These macro is analogous to AutoOpen and AutoClose in Microsoft Word and is called by the AmiPro editor when opening or closing the file. | | | To propagate, such viruses use the capabilities of macro languages and with their help transfer themselves from one infected file (documents or spreadsheets) to another. |

| | POV-Ray macros are a strange mix of macros and functions. | | | In traditional computer programming languages, a macro works entirely by token substitution. | | | This means that if you pass the wrong type value in a POV-Ray macro parameter, it may not generate an error until you reference the identifier in the macro body. |

| | About ML1 |
| | But with a more complicated macro environment and more intricate corpus these kinds of interference are possible and difficult to debug, particularly if changes are being made to a large system of macros. | | | That is, we might add a new line for the current dominating subject, and allow the remainder to flow by invoking a macro defined for the dominated subject as a kind of continuation. | | | Because building software was so difficult, the hardware it ran on so visible, and operating systems peculiar to the hardware let alone the manufacturer, software's portability was important and very desirable, even if rarely achieved. |
