    Damn, suppose I won’t just pass it as a pointer from the call site. That’d be so difficult to add an int to a struct

      Yes, and then pass the context from the call sites of that function, and all the way up to main(). Oh look you’re refactored the entire app.

      That’s best cases too, you’d better hope your program isn’t actually a shared library running in a SystemVerilog simulator with state instantiated from separate modules via DPI, or whatever.

      lol when you have 30 years experience you will have actually tried to do this a few times and realised it isn’t usually as trivial as you hope it would be.
