-- pretty.function -- The function formatting module for pretty. --[=[ Thoughts on displaying functions in an informative way. How is one supposed to pretty print functions? Well, there are many different formats, and no "best" one, only "best for the purpose". Lets start at the simplest, and move towards abstraction. 1. The default Lua format: "function: 0x41f71c60" This is the default, and by far the easiest. Also, very uninformative. We only get a unique id for the function. 2. Include the arguments: "function (t, str) ... end" This is slightly more advanced, as it requires using the debug library to discover the names of the arguments. In addition it comes closer to a Lua parsable formatting. We can know the argument names, and if these are descriptive, we can learn some things about the function. 3. Include some documentation: "function (x) --[[math.cosh: Returns the hyperbolic cosine of x.]] ... end" We retain the arguments and almost parsable formatting from above, and add documentation taken from elsewhere - Lua Reference Manual, LuaJIT webpage - as comments. This is great for explorative programming, as we can read about the language by just fiddling around with it. 4. Short names: "math.min" We can assume that an experienced Lua user might already know how any given library function works, and would thus prefer a shorthand, rather than the documentation. To that aim, we can use the short name/access path instead. This is also ideal in places where we don't have a lot of space. This representation is completely parsable, but won't necessarily work for custom enviroment and user-defined functions. 5. Include source code: "function (a, b) return (a + b)/2 end" Now we find the source code somehow, and use it as the representation. This is powerful because we can directly inspect the code. But it makes the function representation a lot more bussy. It won't work with builtins, closured functions, or when fucking around with the source files. It also hits limits when functions are nested, as the debug library does not give enough precision. This also works nicely with 3. due to being able to read function documentation from the source file. 6. Include closures: "(function () local i = 5; return function () i = i + 1; return i end end)()" In cases where a function has a closure, we can use debug.getinfo to get the names and values of the upvalues. We can then represent the closure, by creating the closure itself. Iterators like the example above works nicely, but more complex chains of closures break down. For example: local val_a = 1 local func_a = function () val_a = val_a + 1; return val_a end local val_a = val_a local func_c = function () return func_a() + val_a end Here we have two functions, both with their own upvalue, both named "val_a", yet those names refer to two different "slots". Successive calls to `func_c` should produce the list: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ... To break through this barrier, we need to parse the Lua AST, and that is beyond this project. Closures also create extremely bussy output. --]=] -- Import local LIBRARY do local thispath = ... and select('1', ...):match('.+%.') or '' local was_loaded, library = pcall(require, thispath..'library') LIBRARY = was_loaded and library or {} end -- Constants -- FUNCTION_DEFINITION_MATCH is a lua pattern, for finding a function definition. -- NOTE: It will match malformed unicode sequences, and thus assumes that the -- string checked against have been checked by the lua interpreter. local FUNCTION_KEYWORD_MATCH = '%f[%a_]function%f[^%a_]' local FUNCTION_DEFINITION_MATCH = '.-' .. -- Look for stuff before the function FUNCTION_KEYWORD_MATCH ..
