Re: How to get the signature of the method you are in?

Hello everyone,

I use the following code to do some benchmarking of my application:

public void go(String arg) {
   if (TRACE) {
      long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
      try {
         _impl.go(arg);
      } finally {
         long stop = System.currentTimeMillis();
         Log.trace(_impl.getClass(), "go(String arg)", stop - start);
      }
   } else {
      _impl.go(arg);
   }

}

I was wondering what would be the most efficient way to generate the
"go(String arg)" message automatically. A solution would be to do
something like:

Throwable t = new Throwable();
StackTraceElement s = t.getStackTrace()[0];
String message = s.getMethodName();

But this strikes me as neither very elegant or efficient. And it
doesn't include the full method signature, only the method name. Maybe
someone have a better idea?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions,

Thomas
