Squirrel

My current project is using Squirrel as it's scripting langauge.  As part of its UI, there is a windows treeview control which I wish to populate with the class hierarchy which is definded in Squirrel scripts. 

Unfortunately, I can walk to root table to get all the defined classes but I cant manage to find out a Class's base class.  Is there an API function that I could use to get a class's base class?  I've checked the documentation and I cant seem to find what Im after.   Ive tried also tried using the "pseudo slot" parent but that does not seem to work from the C API.

Thanks in advance.

You are right, this is actually sort of a bug(in my head) I forgot to expose this feature in the api.

It will be in the next realease in this form

SQRESULT sq_getbase(HSQUIRRELVM v,SQInteger idx)

{

 SQObjectPtr *o = NULL;

 _GETSAFE_OBJ(v, idx, OT_CLASS,o);

 if(_class(*o)->_base)

  v->Push(SQObjectPtr(_class(*o)->_base));

 else

  v->Push(_null_);

 return SQ_OK;

}

you can paste this in sqapi.cpp

Does a SqPlus wrapper exist for this functionality? I searched the codebase, but didn't find anything.

To add, put this in SquirrelObject.h public section of class SquirrelObject:

public:
    SquirrelObject GetBase();

And put the definition somewhere in SquirrelObject.cpp:

SquirrelObject SquirrelObject::GetBase(void)
{
   SquirrelObject ret;
   sq_pushobject(SquirrelVM::_VM,_o);
   sq_getbase(SquirrelVM::_VM,-1);
   ret.AttachToStackObject(-1);
   sq_pop(SquirrelVM::_VM,2);

   return ret;
}

Please test this out, and add corrections if necessary. It would be nice if this could make it into SqPlus somehow.
