How to print relative file path, current file name and line number in nelua

[ghost]

Example :

-- main.nelua
print(relative file path, file name, line number)
-- the print statement is at line number 15

the output should look something like this

src/main.nelua:15:

This is what you wanted:

print(#[srcloc.srcname..':'..srcloc.lineno]#) -- outputs "test.nelua:1"

The srcloc variable is a preprocessor table that always have the source location for the current node being processed.

You could also create a polymorphic function that gets instantiated at every call, and print the source location where the polymorphic function was instantiated using polysrcloc:

local function f() <alwayspoly>
  print(#[polysrcloc.srcname..':'..polysrcloc.lineno]#)
end
f() -- outputs "test.nelua:5"

The polysrcloc variable is a preprocessor table that always have the source location where the current polymorphic function being processed was instantiated.

Both ways is supported since commit 2fe098d
