Off the top of my head, written in textmate and gmail, not Builder, YMMV,
etc:
public class UtilClass
{
private static nameCache : Dictionary = new Dictionaty(true);
public static function getNameOf(f : Function, inInstace : Object) :
String
{
if (f in nameCache)
return nameCache[f];
for each(var name : String in
(DescribeTypeCache.describeType(this).typeInfo)[EMAIL PROTECTED])
{
if (inInstance[name] == f)
{
nameCache[f] = name;
return name;
}
}
return "anonymous()";
}
}
SomeClass
{
function someMethod(...) : SomeReturnValue
{
//Identify myself!
log.debug("Called function {0}, with args
{1}",UtilClass.getNameOf(arguments.callee, this), arguments);
//...
}
}
