I can't speak for ILE, but you'll find compiled languages on this list.

Justin,
This proposed feature might work okay in any interpreted language like
AWK, PHP, Python, PERL, or Javascript, etc., but would be difficult to
impossible to implement this in compiled languages like ILE RPG IV, or ILE
COBOL or ILE? C/C++ or ILE CL.? ??
To do so would require that the runtime routines, (e.g. "printf" in the
example), would need to be able to access the symbol table of the compiled
program.? The symbol table is normally only available at "compile time"
unless you compile with "debug" enabled.? To access the debug symbol table
would require running the program "in debug mode."? :-/
I think it would require a huge effort to implement this, for relatively
little real benefit.??
Mark?
