Oh, perhaps I misunderstood your question. Do you meant this:
class Foo() {
void bar() { Log(); } // Pass reference to Foo instance
}
void doSomething() { Log(); } // Null reference
If so, the answer is no. And I don't see how that could work as a
compile time parameter, given that the reference itself is a runtime
value.
It actually is possible. You just have to be explicit.
void log(alias self)(string s)
{
pragma(msg, self.stringof);
}
struct Test
{
void test(string s)
{
log!this(s);
}
}
void main()
{
Test t;
t.test("asdf");
}
I don't want to be explicit! One can be explicit with __FILE__ too but
one doesn't have to be.
__FILE__ is a constant, so is __LINE__. __THIS__ would not be, so this
is somewhat different.
With UFCS, you can get close:
void log(T)(T obj, string s)
{
...
}
struct Test
{
void test(string s)
{
this.log(s);
}
}
But I believe you have to call with explict 'this'.
Perhaps an opDispatch can help, but seems an awful lot to avoid explicit
passing of this variable.
