 |
|
Are the C99 C macro's being considered for the C++ standard?
The C99 standard has a __func__ macro.
Actually, it calls it a Predefined identifier.
And I notice that both VC++ 7.x and GNU 3.x have a __FUNCTION__ macro.
I would like to see this in the C++ standard, because it's very useful
for debugging code.
It makes it much easier to create logging for debug and release version
of the code.
Does anyone know if either __func__ or __FUNCTION__ is being considered
for the C++ standard?

I dont see it mentioned in the Oct 2005 draft, not in the active issues
list. However, I remember reading some dicussions on [email]gcc (AT) gcc (DOT) gnu.org[/email]
that __func__ does not return scope or type information, is that the
reason why its not been considered for the standard. Does anyone know
the exact reason ?

There was this paper in 2004:
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2004/n1642.html
I cannot remember if it was ever really considered.

Great link. I was wondering what was the difference between the
__func__ and __FUNCTION__ implementation.
I can see __func__ being a little difficult to implement for compilers,
but __FUNCTION__ should be a no brainer, and I can not see why it would
be a problem to add it to the standard.
What's the best way to advocate this issue, so as to get more attention
on it?
