ExecuteFunc'ing static methods

[Sgqvur]

Hm... Maybe I've asked this one before but anyway:

How to use the ExecuteFunc native which takes a string, i.e function/static method's name to "execute" a static method?

struct STRUCT

    static method FUNCY takes nothing returns nothing
        call BJDebugMsg("If instead of ")
        call BJDebugMsg("ExecuteFunc, .evaluate()")
        call BJDebugMsg("or .execute()")
        call BJDebugMsg("are used then")
        call BJDebugMsg("this will be copied in")
        call BJDebugMsg("another function")
        call BJDebugMsg("the problem is that")
        call BJDebugMsg("the static method is quite long")
        call BJDebugMsg("I can't believe I actually wrote that =)")        
    endmethod

    static method onInit takes nothing returns nothing
        //call FUNCY.evaluate()
        //call FUNCY.execute()
        call ExecuteFunc(????)
        call ExecuteFunc("s__STRUCT_FUNCY") // works but ... it's "way too hacky"
        call ExecuteFunc("s__LIBRARY___STRUCT_FUNCY") // even worse if the struct is private
    endmethod

endstruct

call ExecuteFunc(thistype.FUNCY.name)

tnx! =)

.name generates the same prototype functions that .execute does. Either don't use structs with ExecuteFunc, or use .execute.

Cohadar may update JassHelper to not compile the prototype functions for things like this, but until then, I recommend if you have a situation that requires ".name", to use .execute or TriggerExecute instead.

lol? Didn't know 'bout that. Doesn't make too much sense, but hell, nothing does that has anything to do with JH.

From http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/2086827-post93.html :

When ever jasshelper detects function.something it adds function to the list of prototyped ones, so everything is generated.

 

[Sgqvur]

This is peculiar. And well in that case [ljass] call ExecuteFunc("s__<struct_name>_<static_method_name>")[/ljass] and [ljass] call ExecuteFunc("s__<library>___<struct_name>_<static_method_name>")[/ljass] suddenly seam "reasonable".

Keep in mind, private members are either two or three underscores, because JassHelper randomizes it.

But yeah, I usually avoid ExecuteFunc'ing static methods and when I need to ExecuteFunc a "private" function I just make the function prefixed with something, like Private_LibraryName_FunctionName or something. I avoid the string "SCOPE_PRIVATE" because when you use concatenation and then "shorten names" on Vexorian's optimizer, you get a fail.
