FEATURE REQUEST: Compiler Services

[NJA_MC]

I would like to request the addition of ComplierServices to the NT CORE. This will be transparent to the user and low risk (might speed up debugging for programmers as well). With .NET 4.5 "System.Runtime.CompilerServices" were added which gives some very useful features at low cost but HIGH Value.

Simply add to the module file:
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;

Then any function definition can have optional parameters added such as this:

		public void debug (String message,[CallerMemberName] string memberName = "",
                             [CallerFilePath] string sourceFilePath = "",
                             [CallerLineNumber] int sourceLineNumber = 0)
		{
			NinjaTrader.Code.Output.Process("From "+memberName+["+sourceFilePath+"] (@"+sourceLineNumber+")   MESSAGE: "+ message
 ,PrintTo.OutputTab1);
		}

What this does is now when I call 'debug("Here is my message");' from LOM.GHPLocalOrderManagerOnEvents01.cs within OnExecution() on line 229, I will get output that includes this information:

OnExecution[LOM.GHPLocalOrderManagerOnEvents01.cs] (@229) Here is my message

So now I have the Function, source-file and Line number which produced the message. This is great for large projects (and older code where I have searched for "Print" statements that continue to put out messages that I don't want.

My feeling is this should be a global "Enable/Disable" in the control panel settings. It should enable/disable this additional data to be printed. This would also be helpful in "error messages" to pinpoint the offending line.

Please let me know if you need help/ideas of how to implement this feature into the core of NT8.

Hello,

Thank you for providing the sample of this.

I have forwarded this to development as a feature request for further review.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Just wondering if this is still being considered as it would be very helpful to find the exact location of problems while debugging.

Hello,

I had submitted this, the tracking id is: SFT-986

Unfortunately I can not see if this would be implemented or not, this is only a feature request generally it would depending on how many votes this receives and developments review.

I will add another vote for this.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

It just seems like this could help the development team as well. It might be too late to integrate this into the core of NT8.
