Debugging

[PHY ZYX]

So this is a general question because I am developing a script using pawn.

Is there an internal function using pawn to for example print the function name.

Like:

new DebugMsg[128];

forward Debug(message[]);

Debug(message[])

{

format(DebugMsg, sizeof(DebugMsg), "%s", message);

return 1;

}

public ExampleFunction()

{

Debug(GetFuncName());

return 1;

}

Is it possible to get the name of the function without needing to manually type it?

Not that I know of. You could implement it as a native function, but I
guess in your application modifying the interpreter is not an option.

The closest equivalent is the __line constant, which gives the line
number.

I'm not great with creating natives.

How would I do that? As creating a native can be done within include files.

And how does the constant __line work? For example, when I do:

new string[128];

format(string, sizeof(string), "Line: %d", __Line);

it shows an error on the format line because theres no __Line variable or constant set?
