Is it possible to get information of the name of a var?
For Example.
var
counter : longint;
varname : shortstring;
varname := nameofvar( counter );
The content of varname then is 'counter'.
There is no way in Pascal.
I think all the necessary information for this function are available.
The compiler knows the names of all vars. So why shouldn't it be possible to
put the name in a shortstring?
If we choose to implement such a function, yes.
My response was based on the compiler as it is.
Conceivably, you can make such a function that
returns the name when debug info is included in the binary.
Or put only the specific information when the compiler detects this function
to avoid saving all vars.
Obviously.
Michael.
