Can someone please tell me how to get a function or method name inside that function/method's body? For example ...

void foo(int x) {

   string name = getFunctionName();
   assert(name == "foo");

}


Compile time or runtime either is OK.

Thanks

Never mind, just discovered __PRETTY_FUNCTION__.

Yes and there's also __FUNCTION__.

Philippe Sigaud's book[1] had a nice trick of extracting the current function name with a single template instantiation, but I can't find it in his template book. There's a "Local Scope Name" chapter, but I distinctly remember something which was a single template call.. hmm.. it might have changed in recent versions.
