Hi, I know this has come aup a few times in the past, but I have not come across a clear answer.

Is it possible in any way to get the name of the current function for logging purposes? Something to get the functionality of __FUNC__ in C?

CTFE anyone?

char[] GetLastFnDef(char[] file, int line);

use like this:

const char[] fn = GetLastFnDef(import(__FILE__), __LINE__);

That would be wonderful!
I am getting the following errors though.
Where do I find GetLastFnDef() ?

dmd -Jpath -run ./test.d
test.d(80): Error: undefined identifier GetLastFnDef
test.d(80): Error: need -Jpath switch to import text file test.d
test.d(80): Error: function expected before (), not GetLastFnDef of type int
test.d(80): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (GetLastFnDef("",80L)) of type int to char[]

Sorry, stupid me forgot the declaration. I am still getting an error though.

dmd -J/tmp test3.d
test3.d(7): Error: cannot evaluate GetLastFnDef("import tango.io.Stdout;\x0a\x0achar[] GetLastFnDef(char[] file, int line);\x0a\x0avoid main()\x0a{\x0a    const char[] fn = GetLastFnDef(import(__FILE__), __LINE__);\x0a    Stdout (\"hello {}\", fn).newline;\x0a}\x0a\x0a\x0a\x0a\x0a",7) at compile time

Any help would be appreciated.

It's a hypothetical function that doesn't exist (yet). However, it's shouldn't be two hard to wright one that would work for most case.

Quick and dirty!

On 2nd thought I think this only works by some sheer coincidence and fluke!

A better one could definately be written with the DMDFE.

The whole idea is a hack. Hacks are only /suposed/ to work when the user does things exactly right

yes but do you want to port DMDFE to run using CTFE?
