How to get the name of a function in Go?

by

I found a solution:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "reflect"
    "runtime"
)

func foo() {
}

func GetFunctionName(i interface{}) string {
    return runtime.FuncForPC(reflect.ValueOf(i).Pointer()).Name()
}

func main() {
    // This will print "name: main.foo"
    fmt.Println("name:", GetFunctionName(foo))
}
