Re: [Boost-users] getting name of function from boost::function

Hmm i have a question, are there ways to get names of the function from boost::function..

example i have

void printfuncname(boost::function func) { do some code to print its name. }

int main() { boost::function voidint voidint = &somefunc; printfuncname(func); }

This is not possible, because: 1. Boost.Function object might not correspond to a function at all, but to a function object passed though boost::bind. 2. Even if it corresponds to a function, getting the name is only possible using debug information, and it might not be available, and there's no portable lib to access debug information - Volodya
