nameof proc

Format

• nameof(Var)
• nameof(ProcRef)
• nameof(Path)

Args

• Var: A variable, e.g. src.density or foo
• ProcRef: A proc reference, e.g. /mob
• Path: A type path, e.g. /obj/item/barrel.

This returns the name of a var or proc, or the last part of a type path. This proc only exists at compile-time.

The main purpose of this proc is to turn a proc reference into a name, which is useful in some esoteric situations.

var/list/event_queue
 
proc/CallLater(object, procref, a, b, c)
    var/list/forlater = list(object, nameof(procref), a, b, c)
    event_queue ||= list()
    event_queue[++event_queue.len] = forlater
 
world/Tick()
    while(length(event_queue))
        var/list/forlater = event_queue[1]
        event_queue.Cut(1,2)
        var/object = forlater[1]
        var/procname = forlater[2]
        var/a = forlater[3]
        var/b = forlater[4]
        var/c = forlater[5]
        call(object, procname)(a, b, c)
