push / pop bytecodes, variable names, pointers

ajwright · 2007-04-25T10:51:40

Goal: I want to know the name, type, and pointer to each variable that is pushed onto the stack in AS, and know when those variables get popped. The switch statement inside of asCContext::ExecuteNext looks like where I need to hook into AS for this, but I also need to know the string names for the variables. It looks like asCVariableScope is where this information is kept. The problem is that the variable lists are destroyed after the scripts are compiled. Am I wrong or overlooking anything? Am I able to retrieve the string name of a variable while it is executing? If this is not possible, then I am thinking I need to build a master list of variables at compile time, and insert an additional bytecode next to each push/pop so that I can index against and get the name of the variable. Thats a bit of hacking, and I wanted to get this question out of the way before I start molesting Angelscript... Thanks Joe
