Thanks to all. Indeed, the search for local names was rather slow in the case of frequent use, so I will use the table of functions from the first example.2015-06-08 22:18 GMT+03:00 Brigham Toskin <brighamtoskin@gmail.com>:Oh, reflection. Yeah, forgot about that. Still, probably a bad idea to do this in a loop or frequently-called code, unless you're sure it won't bottleneck your code.--On Mon, Jun 8, 2015 at 12:13 PM, Paul K <paul@zerobrane.com> wrote:> it is work, but I'm interested in the ability to call a local function:
You can iterate over local variables to find the one with the name you need:
local function func1() print("local func1") end
local function func2() print("local func2") end
local fn = { "func1", "func2", "func3" }
local function name2value(target)
for i = 1, math.huge do
local name, value = debug.getlocal(2, i)
if not name then return end
if name == target then return value end
end
end
for i = 1, 3 do
local func_name = fn[i]
pcall(name2value(func_name) or error("can't find local "..func_name))
end
