Method Debug.describe_program()

Method describe_program

array(array(int|string|type)) describe_program(program p)

Description

Debug function for showing the symbol table of a program.

Returns

Returns an array of arrays with the following information for each symbol in p:

Array
int modifiers	Bitfield with the modifiers for the symbol.
string symbol_name	Name of the symbol.
type value_type	Value type for the symbol.
int symbol_type	Type of symbol.
int symbol_offset	Offset into the code or data area for the symbol.
int inherit_offset	Offset in the inherit table to the inherit containing the symbol.
int inherit_level	Depth in the inherit tree for the inherit containing the symbol.

Note

The API for this function is not fixed, and has changed since Pike 7.6. In particular it would make sense to return an array of objects instead, and more information about the symbols might be added.
