Can LDMud warn when calling undefined functions in other obs?

[William Edsall]

I'm hoping there is a built-in way to tell LDMud to throw an error or warning when an object calls an undefined function in another object. The goal is simply to identify that the function is missing or perhaps was typoed.

Thanks

There is a driver hook H_DEFAULT_METHOD, that is called when
call_other()/call_resolved()/call_strict()/call_out() couldn't find the
method.

With best regards,

Have a look at call_strict() or call_direct_strict().


Maybe we should add a manpage comparing all the variants of call_xxx()
in a simple table.

Hi William,

There might be other approaches but one idea would be to implement your own H_DEFAULT_METHOD hook to do the warning/runtime err:

Best of luck,

The H_DEFAULT_METHOD worked well. I'm porting over a bunch of code from a C project to LPC, so it's helpful to sanity check and see what functions I missed.

Thanks for the guidance
William
