> is the definition if the joinnode class. For me it's a dirnode and not a joinnode, but yes, such things complicates matters. For dirnodes you can index out dirname, e.g. Stdio->dirname. For joinnodes you'd have to index out joined_modules and then investigate those further. (This is a reason to only have `[] and not `-> overloaded in those two classes.)
If you write code that tries to extract paths and lines from dirnodes and joinnodes I suggest you put it inside those classes, because they might be entirely rewritten at some point in the future. > right now i am stuck somewhere else. > the detection of modules is currently a rather crude guess based on the token > stream and i'd like to have something more reliable. You mean .pmod vs .pike files? Looking in the objects mapping in the master should be a fairly reliable to tell whether something is a module. Strings cast to objects end up there too, but that's an uncommon thing to do (I think that should be an error instead - such quirky and unintuitive casts are just confusing). > there appears to be a difference between what _typeof() finds, Isn't it better to use the describe_* functions in the master, or take a look at how they do it? It's probably the same functions _typeof itself is using.
