I'm trying to build some SQL-like abstraction and I have hit a problem.

This is a simplified “database table”:

```
trait Coffee {
  def id: Long
  def name: String
  def brand: String
}

```

This is my query abstraction:

```
import language.experimental.macros

object Query {  
  def from[T] = 
    macro QueryMacros.fromMacro[T]
}

class From[T] {  
  def select[S](s: T => S): Select[T] =
    macro QueryMacros.selectMacro[T, S]
}

class Select[T] {
  def where(pred: T => Boolean): Where =
    macro QueryMacros.whereMacro[T]
}

class Where(val result: String)

```

This is my macro implementation:

```
import scala.reflect.macros.Context

object QueryMacros {
  val result = new StringBuilder

  def fromMacro[T : c.WeakTypeTag](c: Context): c.Expr[From[T]] = { 
    result ++= ("FROM " + c.weakTypeOf[T])
    c.universe.reify(new From[T])
  }

  def selectMacro[T : c.WeakTypeTag, S : c.WeakTypeTag](c: Context)(s: c.Expr[T => S]): c.Expr[Select[T]] = {
    result ++= ("SELECT " + s.tree)
    c.universe.reify(new Select[T])
  }

  def whereMacro[S](c: Context)(pred: c.Expr[S]): c.Expr[Where] = {
    result ++= ("WHERE " + pred.tree)
    c.universe.reify(new Where(result.toString))
  }
}

```

And this is my example code:

```
object Main extends App {
  println("Query start")
  val query = 
    Query.from[Coffee]
         .select(_.id)
         .where(_.brand == "FairTrade")

  println(query.result)
  println("Query end")
}

```

It compiles and runs fine, but the output is:

```
Query start

Query end

```

Basically, `result` seems to be empty. I expected that it would hold the accumulated strings of the trees.

How can I pass my data from the macro compile stage to the next stage, so it shows up at runtime?
I could of course pass the current string to the next method explicitly, but I would like to avoid that.
