# In the following section of code, we will dynamically create robot versions
# of print functions for each of the sprint functions defined in the
# gen_print.py module.  So, for example, where we have an sprint_time()
# function defined above that returns the time to the caller in a string, we
# will create a corresponding rprint_time() function that will print that
# string directly to stdout.

# It can be complicated to follow what's being creaed by the exec statement
# below.  Here is an example of the rprint_time() function that will be created
# (as of the time of this writing):

# def rprint_time(*args):
#   s_func = getattr(gp, "sprint_time")
#   BuiltIn().log_to_console(s_func(*args),
#                            stream='STDIN',
#                            no_newline=True)

# Here are comments describing the lines in the body of the created function.
# Put a reference to the "s" version of this function in s_func.
# Call the "s" version of this function passing it all of our arguments.  Write
# the result to stdout.

robot_prefix = "r"
for func_name in gp.func_names:
    # The print_var function's job is to figure out the name of arg 1 and then
    # call print_varx.  This is not currently supported for robot programs.
    if func_name == "print_error":
        output_stream = "STDERR"
    else:
        output_stream = "STDIN"
    func_def = \
        [
            "def " + robot_prefix + func_name + "(*args):",
            "  s_func = getattr(gp, \"s" + func_name + "\")",
            "  BuiltIn().log_to_console(s_func(*args),"
            " stream = '" + output_stream + "',"
            " no_newline=True)"
        ]

    pgm_definition_string = '\n'.join(func_def)
    exec(pgm_definition_string)

    alias = re.sub("print_", "p", func_name)

    keyword is essentially an alias for "Log to Console  <string>
