Why don't we talk about theoretical part of the problem? ^_^ Did you like my idea about get_last_used_native() function or would you like to suggest anything instead?

I take it that you never read the post by Exolent about the "X Y Problem".

I'm trying to get to the actual root of the issue and not the one that you think you need to solve.

Just bringing up a time where it would be nice to have:

Code:

register_native("ModGiveXP","NativeXP");
register_native("ModSetXP","NativeXP");

//....

NativeXP()
{
   new szNativeName[32]
   //Fill szNativeName here
   if ( equal( szNativeName, "ModGiveXP" ) )
      g_PlayerXP[ iPlayer ] += iXP
   else
      g_PlayerXP[ iPlayer ] = iXP
}

That way you would not need two functions that do very similar things.

Untested, but there is the small chance that the following code will return the Native name.

Code:

get_string( 0, szNativeName, charsmax(szNativeName) );

If someone tests it, let me know and I will edit this post.

Tried that and got following:

That's debatable. Doesn't that use more cpu than having two independent functions (because of the string comparison)?

Even though I'm pretty sure the difference between the two is negligible, would you rather have less lines to write/easier to write, or slightly better cpu usage?

That is way too dependent on what exactly I'm doing. In Emp's example I would prefer two functions.

If only you would tell us what you are exactly trying to do...
Actually no one can really help you.
