Ah sorry Will, I misread your question.

I am afraid that there is no built-in way in ChucK to check what is the super-class of an object. 

However, you could take a look at this earlier discussion which discusses the same problem:

Try .toString(): it's the closest thing.

SinOsc foo;
Object bar;

class MyClass {

MyClass myInstance;

<<<foo.toString()>>>;

<<<myInstance.toString()>>>;


"SinOsc:10061d9a0" : (string)
"Object:61000009e190" : (string)

Subject: [chuck-users] Instanceof in ChucK


Say I have Object o, and I want to see if it is an instance of UGen or a sub-class of UGen.
Is there a way to check this in ChucK?
