I think it's a very clever hack!
Unfortunately it doesn't work for a function in ab object:
HackO: make Object! [
hackF: func ["hackF" /local myself] [
error? err: disarm try [2 / 0]
myself: get in err 'where
print [
"my name is:" myself
"^/my body is:" mold second get myself
"^/my spec is:" mold third get myself
]
]
]
HackO/HackF
I'm disappointed with Rebol that something as simple as "What's the name of
the current function?" isn't easily available, something like:
print System/Current/Function-name
A few weeks back I spent a while looking through the System object for a call
stack. It must exist, and does exist for "Do Script.r" but I couldn't find it
normal functions
. They must be hiding it from us!
If RT would put the stack in the system object along with everything else,
it'd make formatting useful debugging reports a lot more useful.
