What about expanding the function name if it starts with "s:" or "<SID>" to <SNR><number>_<function name> in the get_callback() function? Currently get_callback() doesn't allocate memory for the function name. This needs to be changed to expand the function name.

Function name as a string can be used for global functions but not for script local functions. - Yegappan -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
