| title: 'macro' | |
| --- | |
| A callable Starlark value representing a symbolic macro; in other words, the return value of | |
| [`macro()`](../globals/bzl#macro). Invoking this value during package | |
| construction time will instantiate the macro, and cause the macro's implementation function to be | |
| evaluated (in a separate context, different from the context in which the macro value was invoked), | |
| in most cases causing targets to be added to the package's target set. For more information, see | |
| [Macros](https://bazel.build/versions/9.2.0/extending/macros). |
