Macros

The Cairo language has some plugins that allow developers to simplify their code. They are called inline_macros and are a way of writing code that generates other code.

consteval_int! Macro

In some situations, a developer might need to declare a constant that is the result of a computation of integers. To compute a constant expression and use its result at compile time, it is required to use the consteval_int! macro.

Here is an example of consteval_int!:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
const a: felt252 = consteval_int!(2 * 2 * 2);
}

This will be interpreted as const a: felt252 = 8; by the compiler.
