6.47 Function Names as Strings：http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Function-Names.html
GCC provides three magic variables that hold the name of the current function, as a string. The first of these is __func__, which is part of the C99 standard:
The identifier __func__ is implicitly declared by the translator as if, immediately following the opening brace of each function definition, the declaration
static const char __func__[] = "function-name";
appeared, where function-name is the name of the lexically-enclosing function. This name is the unadorned name of the function.
__FUNCTION__ is another name for __func__. Older versions of GCC recognize only this name. However, it is not standardized. For maximum portability, we recommend you use __func__, but provide a fallback definition with the preprocessor:
#if __STDC_VERSION__ < 199901L
# if __GNUC__ >= 2
# define __func__ __FUNCTION__
# else
# define __func__ "<unknown>"
# endif
#endif
In C, __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ is yet another name for __func__. However, in C++, __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ contains the type signature of the function as well as its bare name. For example, this program:
extern "C" {
extern int printf (char *, ...);
}
class a {
public:
void sub (int i)
{
printf ("__FUNCTION__ = %s\n", __FUNCTION__);
printf ("__PRETTY_FUNCTION__ = %s\n", __PRETTY_FUNCTION__);
}
};
int
main (void)
{
a ax;
ax.sub (0);
return 0;
}
gives this output:
__FUNCTION__ = sub
__PRETTY_FUNCTION__ = void a::sub(int)
These identifiers are not preprocessor macros. In GCC 3.3 and earlier, in C only, __FUNCTION__ and __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ were treated as string literals; they could be used to initialize char arrays, and they could be concatenated with other string literals. GCC 3.4 and later treat them as variables, like __func__. In C++, __FUNCTION__ and __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ have always been variables.
但是，根据，__FUNCTION__更保险？
Macro / keyword which can be used to print out method name?
- On GCC you can use
__FUNCTION__and__PRETTY_FUNCTION__. - On MSVC you can use
__FUNCSIG__and__FUNCTION__.
simple.c:8: warning: concatenation of string literals with
__FUNCTION__ is deprecated
another string literal, but what you can do is
printf("%s %s\n", __func__, __FILE__);
