Getting the name of the current method in c++
c++, introspection
Solution
The `__func__` identifier is part of the C99 standard and is in the C++0x draft.
The identifier `__func__` is implicitly declared by the compiler as if the following were at the very start of each function body:
static const char __func__[] = "function-name";
where `function-name` is an implementation-defined string automatically provided by the compiler.
Until support for those standards is available (or more widely available) you're stuck with compiler-specific gunk.
Problem
Is there a (standardized) way to get the name of the current method using c++? Using GNU GCC you can do this by using the macro `__FUNCTION__` and `__PRETTY_FUNCTION__` (surrounded by 2 underscores), however, this is of course non portable. Is there a way to do this in standard c++ or a way to make it portable?
