Location of skill function definition

frankliu

Given a particular function, say foo(), I would like to know where it is defined.

There is a long list of .il functions that are loaded during initialization of virtuoso, so I am looking for a function that

1) returns the file path where the foo() was defined

2) in case of multiple definitions in different files, give the order they are loaded/overwritten

Notes:

I looked a couple of options such as whereIs(foo), error: cannot get source information (installed debugger)

startFinder(?funcName "foo"),  error: trouble connecting to cdsFinder

  • Hi Andrew

    Thank you for the explanation.

    It's clear to me about the reason behind.

    I learned the "printstruct" function when reading the "SKILL Language User Guide" about the "Data Structure".

    I just open the document again, and find "For debugging" in the text. But on that moment, these words do not bring me attention. And I did not realize what trouble it can bring to me. (My mail boxed was exploded that day, as a lot colleges complained that I occupied all the license.)

    I was wondering should the risk be mentioned for "printstruct" in the "SKILL Language User Guide", and put a note that the license should be released later on manually. For me, the "SKILL Language User Guide" is the first document I read when I learn SKILL, I can not distinguish the difference between debugging functions and function-level development at that moment. Actually, I just know there are some functions dedicated for debugging. A lot of thing needs to be learned:)

    Best Regards
