type_info

Provides function name introspection utilities.

For type-name introspection, use the static methods on Reflected[T] (obtained via reflect[T]):

  • reflect[T].name() - returns the name of a type.
  • reflect[T].base_name() - returns the unqualified name of a type's base type.

This module exposes the function-side counterparts:

  • get_function_name[func]() - returns the source name of a function.
  • get_linkage_name[func]() - returns the symbol/linkage name of a function.

Example:

from std.reflection import reflect, get_function_name

struct Point:
    var x: Int
    var y: Float64

def my_function():
    pass

def main():
    print(reflect[Point].name())             # "Point"
    print(get_function_name[my_function]())  # "my_function"
