I am constructing an error notification routine which outputs an error code, the name of the C function which called the error routine, and an error message. The current interface requires the programmer to name the function, ie: Error(int errcode, char *function_name, ...) It would save coding time (and make the interface simpler) if C provided a compile-time method for determining the current function name. Given that the C preprocessor definitions __FILE__ and __LINE__ specify the current source module and line, is there an analagous definition for the current source function (eg __FUNCTION__) ? -- Dave Hammond daveh@marob.masa.com daveh@dsix2.uucp

No. Not unless it's a non-standard extension in the only compiler you ever plan to use. -- SVR4: every feature you ever | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology wanted, and plenty you didn't.| uunet!attcan!utzoo!henry henry@zoo.toronto.edu
