instantiationInfo undocumented parameter `fullPaths` #17483

Open lhupfeldt opened 3 years ago

lhupfeldt commented 3 years ago 
proc instantiationInfo(index = -1; fullPaths = false): tuple[filename: string,
    line: int, column: int] {...}

fullPaths is undocumented

Seems to mean return filenameas an absolute path. full == absolute? why is it plural, can there be other paths returned?

@lhupfeldt PR welcome to document it, yes, it means absolute path, the name is historical cruft.

why is it plural, can there be other paths returned?

no, historical cruft
