File and Line Number question

["Lee Hickey" <lee@...>]

I have a quick query that someone here might be able to help me with.

I have a series of files, each one defining a new 'object' by way of a table
containing data and functions. For example

file1.lua ->
	Object1 = {}
	Object1.SomeFunction = function()
		-- blah blah
	end;

file2.lua ->
	Object2 = {}
	Object2.SomeOtherFunction = SomeFunctionDefinedElsewhere();


>From C, given a table 'Object2' and the name of a function
'SomeFunctionDefinedElsewhere', I need to find out in which file this
function resides, and also on which line. I know I could write some crude
code to work this out in a hungry manner, but I believe this information
already exists somewhere, for the debugger.

Any suggestions?
