How to get the function name while in a function for debug strings?

Question

I want to output the function name each time it is called, I can easily copy and paste the function name, however I wondered if there was a shortcut that would do the job for me

Answer 1

__func__ is c99 ( which does in turn mean it might not work with visual studio - but hey it's standard :o) )

__FUNCTION__ works pretty much everywhere

__PRETTY_FUNCTION__ is gnu specific and returns the full qualified name with (namespaces?), classname, returntype, functionname, parameterslist
