Hello,

Can I get native name from itself? not making a different function for each

I have:

PHP Code:

register_native("myfunc","func");
register_native("myfunc2","func");
register_native("myfunc3","func"); 


PHP Code:

public func(iPlugin, iParams)
{
    new MyNativeName[64] = ?

    log_to_file("MyLog.log", "Native with name %s was used", MyNativeName);
    return 0;
} 


So it would write that it was either myfunc or myfunc2 or myfunc3, is it possible?

Any reason you want to do that ???

[Owyn]

Yes, - logging ^_^

[Arkshine]

Why using the same callback for different natives ? I don't see situation where you could do that.

[Owyn]

Because they are all for the same purpose - being a dummy native and alerting when it is used. I need their names just for deeper level of logging, you may be right and I don't really need it, but it would be desirable.

As I see now the only way is storing last called native name in amx mod x and retrieving it in my callback, am I right? Or just making tons of simular callbacks with hardcoded names inside, yes.

Or you could just have the native pass a string parameter with the native name.

For example, you register the native, and then when calling the native you do something like this:

PHP Code:

public test()
{
     func1( "func1" );
} 


and in the native callback:

PHP Code:

public func( iPlugin, iParams )
{
     new szName[ 64 ];
     get_string( 1, szName, charsmax( szName ) );

     client_print( 0, print_chat, "Native %s was used.", szName );
}

and then when calling the native

It's not me calling my natives and I can't modify the way they are called.

Then who is? And why would they have any motive to use them if they don't actually do anything?

I don't know if there is any way to retrieve name without modifying amxx, but if you really need tons of them then you can use #define like this:

PHP Code:

register_native("myfunc1","_myfunc1");
register_native("myfunc2","_myfunc2");
register_native("myfunc3","_myfunc3");  
//...

#define native_handler_log(%1,%2) public %2(pid, param){\
log_to_file("MyLog.log", "Native with name %s was used", %1);\
return func(pid,param);\
}

native_handler_log("myfunc1",_myfunc1)
native_handler_log("myfunc2",_myfunc2)
native_handler_log("myfunc3",_myfunc3)

public func(pid, param){
    //...
    return 0;
}

Other people ^_^ And they don't, it's my motive.
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?
