Question

In Objective C you can log the method that is being called using:

NSLog(@\"%s\", __PRETTY_FUNCTION__)

Usually this is used from a logging m

Answer 1

Starting from Swift 2.2 we should use:

• #file (String) The name of the file in which it appears.
• #line (Int) The line number on which it appears.
• #column (Int) The column number in which it begins.
• #function (String) The name of the declaration in which it appears.

From The Swift Programming Language (Swift 3.1) at page 894.

func specialLiterals() {
    print("#file literal from file: \(#file)")
    print("#function literal from function: \(#function)")
    print("#line: \(#line) -> #column: \(#column)")
}
// Output:
// #file literal from file: My.playground
// #function literal from function: specialLiterals()
// #line: 10 -> #column: 42
