@static expr- this is a way to only run expronce; for some reason once.
but what's the point once it?
It:
- once during the time when the package is installed?
- once during the time when the package is downloaded?
- some other definition
The most common use for checking the OS: for example.
ccall((@static Sys.iswindows() ? :_fopen : :fopen), ...)
I am wondering if I can use it to generate other code based on an environment variable: in particular JULIA_NUM_THREADS. This environment variable may change between julia cycles, but if it changes during a session, nothing will respond to it.
