584140 - Need way for an ABC to find its disk location

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Tamarin Graveyard :: Virtual Machine, enhancement)

Description

[Steven Johnson]

Some acceptance tests (eg, everything related to DomainClass) would be much easier to write if we could detect the ABC's path at runtime; currently, there's no guarantee that the current working directory matches the currently-executing ABC's directory, so loading relative paths isn't workable.

Here's a quick-n-dirty, but functional, approach. Sample usage:

package
{
    import avmplus.System

    print("I am " + System.evaluatingFile);
}


This is a bare-bones approach, but suitable for my needs.

fine with me, just keep the commenting good so we can build on this incrementally without too much pain.  small vote for "currentFilename()" as the api, but.. meh.

I think I can probably do this just as easily using the avm_args functionaity (https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Tamarin/Creating_Tamarin_Tests#testname.as.avm_args) so I may skip this if that works out.

I think the avm_args approach will be adequate, so I'm withdrawing this.
