10 # XXX The functions getcodename() and getfuncname() are now obsolete
11 # XXX as code and function objects now have a name attribute --
12 # XXX co.co_name and f.func_name.
13 # XXX getlineno() is now also obsolete because of the new attribute
14 # XXX of code objects, co.co_firstlineno.
16 # Extract the function or class name from a code object.
17 # This is a bit of a hack, since a code object doesn't contain
18 # the name directly. So what do we do:
19 # - get the filename (which *is* in the code object)
20 # - look in the code string to find the first SET_LINENO instruction
21 # (this must be the first instruction)
22 # - get the line from the file
23 # - if the line starts with 'class' or 'def' (after possible whitespace),
24 # extract the following identifier
26 # This breaks apart when the function was read from <stdin>
27 # or constructed by exec(), when the file is not accessible,
28 # and also when the file has been modified or when a line is
29 # continued with a backslash before the function or class name.
31 # Because this is a pretty expensive hack, a cache is kept.
