13600 :: procedure introspection

• zack (orginal) [2025-12-29T19:36:52+01:00] view original

  Is there a way in Nim to find out how many arguments a procedure has, whether there are default values, or optional arguments ?

  And similarly for the body of the procedure, is there a way to find out its content ?

  Thanks

  You probably seek getImpl from within a macro as in https://github.com/c-blake/cligen/blob/f082560a4bbd4afa1b35e9810b291d17c265b666/cligen.nim#L400 with some formalParams & other manipulations like in that cligen.nim module.

  Thanks for the link, I'll take a close look at it.
