How to get a function name

[lsakizada]

Is it possible to get the function name inside the function, e.g. when it running?

I don't see th reason for this, but I guess you could create a local variable inside each function and define the function name there... that way you should be able to retrieve it..

Thanks, but I need it dynamics since I am creating dynamics au3 scripts with dynamics functions

How do you have dynamic functions? If you are using Call(), the functions are still predefined. If you are using /AutoIt3ExecuteLine, you still are using known function names.

In PHP there is a global constant I think called __FUNCTION__, but PHP offers variable functions. Maybe there is something similar hidden in AutoIt. I have never used this in PHP but I have used get_class() which is nice.

What is a dynamic function?

LOL, I guess your concept is very strange. Use one function which acts different with different parameters.

This is effectively the same as Call():

<?php

function foo() {

echo "In foo()<br />\n";

}

function bar($arg = '')

{

echo "In bar(); argument was '$arg'.<br />\n";

}

// This is a wrapper function around echo

function echoit($string)

{

echo $string;

}

$func = 'foo';

$func(); // This calls foo()

$func = 'bar';

$func('test'); // This calls bar()

$func = 'echoit';

$func('test'); // This calls echoit()

?>

Has such a feature been added in the time since this topic was created ?

I could not find any update info, but you never know.

A reason for wanting this is to put the function name in front of error log messages...

(and adding a local variable to each function becomes a bit of a PITA )

No, such a feature hasn't been added, and adding a single variable with its contents being the name of the funtion it's in isn't that hard, just a LITTLE time consuming if you're adding to an existing script.

Although you could probably modify the SciTE tool that adds function trace lines to a script to have it create the local variable instead of a consolewrite. The tool's code is in AutoItTools.lua.

Exactly what I done at one point, you could also write a quick script to add them, but I'd personally love to see (and I know new macros are on the not to do list) @FunctionName.
