is there any portable way of __PRETTY_FUNCTION

[Nan Li]

Hi,
g++ has a predefined macro __PRETTY_FUNCTION. I think it is a gcc
extension. Is there anything equivalent that is defined in the
standard or any library ( e.g. BOOST, ACE )?

Thanks,
Nan

Not in the current Standard. But there can be something in the works
currently for the future version of the language, check the Standard
Committee web site.

Don't take this for granted, but I've read somewhere, that there will be
something in the standard which is named __func__ which gives the
function name, but not in that detail like __PRETTY_FUNCTION__. I don't
know how many compiler already implement this, but it is much more
portable than __PRETTY_FUNCTION__. But if you use g++, you can try, g++
implements both.
