A_ThisFunc not working!

[User]

A_ThisFunc does not work in the code below! Any suggestions?

Code: Select all

test()


test()	;____________________ function _________________
{
static x := A_ThisFunc


msgbox, % x
}

Works as advertised, I would say.
My understanding is, solely based on the information available in the AHK docs, that A_thisFunc is only available at the time a function is executing:

A_ThisFunc
The name of the user-defined function that is currently executing (blank if none)

But expressions in static variables are looked-up much sooner, before any function can be executed:

Static var := expression is supported. All such expressions are evaluated immediately before the script's auto-execute section in the order they are encountered in the script.

(https://autohotkey.com/docs/Functions.htm#static)

Hence, x is blank here.
