possible "Get Calling Function Name/ idx"? - Jonny5 - 24.06.2012

is it possible to get the name/idx of the function
that calls into another function?

example

pawn Код:

forward func1();
public func1()
{
    otherFunc();
}

forward func2();
public func2()
{
    otherFunc();
}

otherFunc()
{
    //some code to get func1's or func2's name or idx
    printf("Called from function Name %s",funcName);
}

im sure it wont look like that but that was my poor excuse for the example.
I also assume these will have to be public functions.

even if i can get the funcidx like this then i could use a list of function names to check against.

Maybe something like this:

pawn Код:

forward func1();
public func1()
{
    otherFunc(1);
}

forward func2();
public func2()
{
    otherFunc(2);
}

otherFunc(functionID)
{
    //some code to get func1's or func2's name or idx
    if(functionID == 1)  print("Called from function Name func1");
   if(functionID == 2)  print("Called from function Name func2");
}

I don't think it's possible any other way.

yeah not really what i was looking for.

im digging in the pawn ref and implementer's guide to see what i find.

first off thanks for the response.

The reason behind this is a logging system,
My goal WAS to add the calling functions name within the log.
I wanted the log function to be generic for use across the mode but I do think
it will end up to complex and i could just pass the func name to the log manually when its called.
So instead of being lazy....
I have already began to rethink this hole process.
