tracing function calls

[DigitalDragon]

hi,

i would like to trace the function that called the "current" function. i
need a type char name of that function. is that posibile?

eg.

void function()
{
char string[256];
GetCallerName(s tring);
printf(string);
}

void call()
{
function();
}

Not with standard C++.

Re: tracing function calls

There is a macro called __FUNCTION__ or __PRETTYFUNCTIO N__, but it is not
standard C++, I know for sure Visual C++ 6 does not implement it, but Visual
C++ 7, MW CodeWarrior and GCC does.. So when VC6 is phased out it will be
defacto standard i guess..
