Exception: Line Number of Caller

[egocarib]

Although it is still documented in the v2 docs...

http://lexikos.github.io/v2/docs/comman ... #Exception

...this doesn't appear to work in v2:

https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/7148 ... ne-number/

This code shows "3" in the messagebox

Code: Select all

TheCalledFunction()
TheCalledFunction() {
    exception_object := Exception("", -1)
    line_number := exception_object.Line
    MsgBox %line_number%
}

Is that intended?

i've noticed this too in Yunit. must be something changed about when the exception is triggered, but i dont know. read here:

It was an unintended side-effect of built-in functions being included in the call stack in v2. -1 is the Exception function and -2 is its caller.

so will this value stay at -2? and in that case the docs will be updated? or do you plan on changing it to match v1 ?

Changing it to exclude the Exception function would be the rational choice.
