[wp-hackers] Is there a way to get the callback function name out of a shortcode _programmatically_?

[Haluk Karamete]

Sorry guys to bother you back on this.... In a slightly more complicated
case ( a visual composer shortcode ) where the shortcode data is stored in
an object in the $shortcode_tags array, I'm hitting a brick wall.

The shortcode I'm after is "vc_wp_posts" and I use this one liner to
ATTEMPT to get it   $callback = get_shortcode_callback("vc_wp_posts");

using the function we had yesterday.

function get_shortcode_callback( $shortcode ) {
    return isset( $GLOBALS['shortcode_tags'][ $shortcode ] ) ?
$GLOBALS['shortcode_tags'][ $shortcode ] : false;
}

and it comes back with a FALSE.

I know why but I don't know how to get to piece I need to...

Here is the $shortcode_tags var dump view

shortened for brewity

array (size=74)
  'embed' => string '__return_false' (length=14)
  'wp_caption' => string 'img_caption_shortcode' (length=21)
  'caption' => string 'img_caption_shortcode' (length=21)
  'gallery' => string 'gallery_shortcode' (length=17)
  'audio' => string 'wp_audio_shortcode' (length=18)
  'video' => string 'wp_video_shortcode' (length=18)
  'vc_column_inner' =>
    array (size=2)
      0 =>
        object(WPBakeryShortCode_VC_Column_Inner)[173]
          protected 'predefined_atts' =>
            array (size=3)
              ...
          protected 'shortcode' => string 'vc_column_inner' (length=15)
          protected 'html_template' => null
          protected 'atts' => null
          protected 'settings' =>
            array (size=11)
              ...
          protected 'is_plugin' => boolean true
          protected 'is_theme' => boolean false
      1 => string 'output' (length=6)
  'vc_row' =>
    array (size=2)
      0 =>
        object(WPBakeryShortCode_VC_Row)[174]

etc...

now I am gonna fast forward to the section that deals with the shortcode
I'm after...

and here it is...

'vc_wp_posts' =>
    array (size=2)
      0 =>
        object(WPBakeryShortCode_VC_Wp_Posts)[118]
          protected 'shortcode' => string 'vc_wp_posts' (length=11)
 <------------ this is where the information we are after.
          protected 'html_template' => null
          protected 'atts' => null
          protected 'settings' =>
            array (size=6)
              ...
          protected 'is_plugin' => boolean true
          protected 'is_theme' => boolean false
      1 => string 'output' (length=6)

  'vc_wp_links' =>
    array (size=2)
      0 =>
