Function question

[kpeters]

Given a function as in:

go-first: does [ print "go-first" ]

How can I get it to print its name without having to supply it as a iteral to print?

TIA,
Kai

Short answer: Functions do not have a name.

Long answer: hopefully someone else will have the time for the long answer...

Functions do not have names as Gabriele says....They are assigned to words which is a subtly different thing. You function could be assigned to many words, or none:

Code:

    go-first: go-next: go-last: does [print "who am i?" ]
    go-fifth: :go-next

    blk: copy []
    append blk does [print "who am i?" ]
    blk/1

But execution does have context, so this works in R2:

Code:

    go-first: does [print get in disarm try [0 / 0] 'where ]
    go-first
    == go-first

It is not guaranteed to work in later versions of REBOL as the error handling may be overhauled.

Thank you both for your time!
