Subject: Name of currently executing function
Date: Sun, 13 Jul 2008 22:27:02 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <487AE3A6.2080008@ramenlabs.com> (raw)

Hello,

Is there any way to find out the name of the currently executing 
function from within an OCaml program? I guess, technically, I'm 
interested in the grandparent. Something that would allow this:

let log msg =
   Printf.eprintf "%s: %s\n%!"
     (get_caller_function_name ())
     msg

I'm guessing the above is not possible, but perhaps there's some way to 
accomplish this using some combination of camlp4, back traces, 
profiling, or debugging?

Thanks,
Dave
