Missing information on `typenameof` #20

Open paxcut opened 3 months ago

paxcut commented 3 months ago

The Expressions section on Pattern Language has a subsection for type operators where sizeof and addressof are introduced yet nothing is said about typenameof. Maybe the reason is that typenameof is not defined as a provider operator (typenameof($) returns an error).

If addressof($) returns the base address of the input and sizeof($) returns the size of the input maybe typenameof($) should return the name of the input file which is kind of hard to get using the provider library function.

So, this being an issue in the docs repo, I'd recommend only requesting that typenameof be added to docs here, while the feature request that typenameof($) returns the name of the input file be forwarded to pattern language repository.
