I am looking to get the name of function in swift.
I basically want something like
__FUNCTION__
but from a different function e.g.
func do () {
code etc
}
func doStuff () {
var funcName = do().name
}
the above would be perfect.
Any ideas?
#function might be what you want.
print(#function)
class Log {
func info(_ info: String, funcName: String = #function) {}
}
In Swift 3 the right keyword is #function. You could pass a pointer to a String object which is used to store the function name. For example:
func myFunction(param1:Any, param2:Any, functionName: UnsafeMutablePointer<String>?) -> Any {
if functionName != nil {
functionName.pointee = #function
}
...
}
Usage:
var name:String
// You can always pass nil if you are not interested in retrieving the
// function name
let result = myFunction(1, 2, functionName: &name)
print(name)
Not the cleanest, but it works.
func dost () -> (name: String,String) {
return (__FUNCTION__,"")
}
func doStuff () {
var funcName = dost().name
}
You could aways just return the function name without the tuple.
func dostuff(getName: Bool) -> String {if (getName) return __FUNCTION__ } but I was wondering if there was something nicer maybe
