Identifying the name of a parent function in a child function?

[Thomas Treichl]

Hi,

  I'm currently playing with some algorithms and what I could need now that 
would be a way to find out which, let's say, 'parent function' called my 'child 
function'. Is there a way to do that by not passing an ID-variable from the 
parent to the child (eg. like dbstack works in Matlab) and by not setting a 
global or persistent variable before?

What I mean by example

  function [] = funA ()
    funC;
  endfunction

  function [] = funB ()
    funC;
  endfunction

  function [] = funC ()
    # Did funA or funB call me?
  endfunction

Thanks,

  Thomas
