Hi,

I vaguely remember somebody requesting something like this, but not sure if it was every implemented in FPC 2.6.4 or FPC 3.0. A macro that one can use in code to return a string, which is the name of the current procedure, function or method. Useful in debugging.

Something like the {$I %date%} syntax.

Anybody know if there is something like that in FPC?

No worries, found it. Seems Thunderbird doesn't search as well as Firefox. ;)

I was looking for {$I %CURRENTROUTINE%} and {$I %LINE%} - but CURRENTROUTINE might only be in FPC 3.1+

Yes, it was a relatively recent addition.

In the mean time (as I only use FPC 2.6.4 and FPC 3.0) I tried to use GetLineInfo internally instead, that gives the the same result (though I guess with more overhead).

Unfortunately GetLineInfo() [for DWARF] is incomplete, where method names are not implemented, but unit name and line number is. :-/ There is a bug report about this already:

So I'm back at square one with what I wanted to achieve. :-(
