[Jprogramming] Can a verb (adverb or conjunction) know and echo its own name?

2020-08-04 Thread Brian Schott
In other words, is it possible to trace functions in a script by placing a verb inside explicitly defined verbs that will report that verb's name and maybe its arguments (like the way that the utility `trace` reports)? -- (B=) --

I think so: ownName=: 3 : 0 13!:13 '' ) ownName '' +---+-+-+-+++--++-+ |ownName|0|0|3|3 : ' 13!:13 '||++|+-++| | | | | | |||y||| | | | | | |||++|+-++| | +---+-+-+-+++--++-+

Devon, I get slightly different results. 13!:13 produces nothing, but 13!:1 produces the name and y arg prepended with `'|` which may work for me. The number of spaces is a little unpredictable, so far, and I have not found a way to clean it up. Below is a session example. Thanks, ownName=

13!:1 is defined only when debug is enabled.  Don't rely on its behavior when debug is off. Henry Rich On 8/4/2020 4:46 PM, Brian Schott wrote: Devon, I get slightly different results. 13!:13 produces nothing, but 13!:1 produces the name and y arg prepended with `'|` which may work for me

Henry, Turning on debug helps (dbr 1). Thanks. Or were you also warning me about how the 13!:13 outcome was missing? I am trying to determine what is triggering some `gl_paint''`s before I am ready for them, in an opengl control environment which has a_run and a_g_paint and a_g_initialize and othe

I cannot reproduce this result using the definition of ownName provided in this thread. So I am guessing you are using a different definition. I would recommend something like this: parentName=: 3 : 0 ;{.,}.13!:13 '' ) ownName=: 3 :0 echo parentName '' ) Which behaves like this: ownNam

Another option which does not require debug to be on is to embed the verb in a try. catch. end. control block tracer=: 4 : 0 try. x + y catch. 2 3 $ 'x arg';'Error Type';'y arg'; x;(, 13!:12 '');y end. ) 4 tracer 5 9 4 tracer 'a' ┌─┬──┬─┐ │x arg│E

Bob's idea is better than mine. Since I always have debug on, I did not notice the absence of a result from 13!:13. ownNameRT=: 3 : 0 rr=. a: try. rr+1 NB. Cause error catch. rr=. }:([}.~2+':'i.~])>{.<;._1]13!:12 '' end. rr ) ownNameRT '' ownNameRT dbr 0 ownNameRT '' ownName
