Re: A facility for getting the current method's name

[neugens.limasoftware@gmail.com]

Hi!

While it could be useful in very specific contexts, I actually think this is not really needed, since like you noted you get the same result creating a stacktrace and I doubt this would be anything but marginally faster, which would be overkill to require an api addition probably.

Cheers,
Mario

Hi,

Would it be possible to add a feature to get the current method's name
in an efficient without first creating a stack trace?

Something like:

public void foo() {
   String methodName = Method.getCurrentMethod().getName();
   assert methodName.equals("foo");
}

This would make writing code like this more elegant and refactor-friendly:

public void init(Bar bar) {
  if (this.bar != null) {
     throw new IllegalStateException(Method.getCurrentMethod().getName()
+ " should not be called more than once");
  }
  this.bar = bar;
}
