macro to print local information (about function name etc)

[Johannes Zellner]

Hello,

Is it possible to have a preprocessor macro, which prints information
like the function name of the current context like

void SomeClass:some_member()
{
NIFTY_MACRO();
...

should print the class name SomeClass and the method name some_member.

Some compilers have preprocessor macros like PRETTY_FUNCTION or some
such. Standard C++ has no means to do what you ask.

GNU GCC/MinGW:
__FUNCTION__
__PRETTY_FUNCTION__

and more, like (standardized by ANSI C):
__LINE__
__FILE__
__TIME__
__DATE__
