Static functions?

[Duha]

Now for the "real" arguments.

If i do

Code: Select all

_global.superFunction = function() {
  megaFunction();
}
function ultraFunction() {
  megaFunction();
}
function megaFunction() {
  debug(arguments.callee.caller.name);
}

superFunction writes empty string to debug, but ultraFunction writes "ultraFunction".

There is only one way to set function name: add it into function defenition

Code: Select all

_global.superFunction = function superFunction() {

Maybe i can set some sort of callee.caller.UUID (or some cheap alternative) and use that as cache hash, even though it will most likely not be preserved in savegames ...

It's because of hoisting and scopes. Takes a while to get used to, but persevere, it will all make sesne.

If you define things as vars, then the vars get hoisted to the top of the locla scope, but only assigned a value where they are coded to.

In the case of sandboxes, this means that assuming their value is assigned any later invocations of functions above them will have access to the value via the named variable reference.
