Is there a way to print the address space that an object is using? I am trying to troubleshoot an issue I am running into and I am trying to see if an object is calling its own function or if due to the public nature of roku, I am calling a global function on a single object x number of times. So I essentially just want to print the address of the object I am making the call from and what it is actually being called on. Is this at all possible to do in roku?

In my case I have one singleton which then contains an array of another class that can be instantiated x number of times. Due to this I couldn't make it a singleton, but I tried always having it make calls to its this object, however I think I am running into an issue when I am having my singleton manage callbacks.

Simpy put, can I print the address space of an object on the roku and if so how 🙂 TIA!

No. 🙂
At least to my knowledge there is no way.
But i can offer you a workaround: what you are asking is how to uniquely identify objects, so you can distinguish them. Manually add an id field to them, in the constructor function - like so:

function objFactory():
    this = { 
        ...
        id: rnd(0)
        ...
    }
    return this
end function
...
obj = objFactory()
? obj.id

You can compare function references directly for equality.

But, to answer your question, I don't think there's any way to get a specific memory address. "bsc" will give you the address of every object currently in memory, but I doubt you'll be able to find what you're looking for in what that spews out.

Thanks for the responses! EnTerr, I kind of figured I was going to have to do something like this but was hoping I wouldn't 🙂 Thanks again for the help. Sometimes nice to just get a definitive answer.
