I found a solution: package main import ( “fmt” “reflect” “runtime” ) func foo() { } func GetFunctionName(i interface{}) string { return runtime.FuncForPC(reflect.ValueOf(i).Pointer()).Name() } func main() { // This will print “name: main.foo” fmt.Println(“name:”, GetFunctionName(foo)) }
In order to do that you need reflect. package main import ( “fmt” “reflect” ) func main() { // one way is to have a value of the type you want already a := 1 // reflect.New works kind of like the built-in function new // We’ll get a reflected pointer to a new int … Read more
Well I used reflect.ValueOf and then if it is a slice you can call Len() and Index() on the value to get the len of the slice and element at an index. I don’t think you will be able to use the range operate to do this. package main import “fmt” import “reflect” func main() … Read more
Most code shouldn’t need this sort of dynamic lookup. It’s inefficient compared to direct access (the compiler knows the offset of the X field in a Vertex structure, it can compile v.X to a single machine instruction, whereas a dynamic lookup will need some sort of hash table implementation or similar). It’s also inhibits static … Read more
