Looks like this has been asked before on SO, here is an interesting answer that I have not tested:

Get a pointer to the current function in C (gcc)?

Anyway, there are some interesting extensions, with gcc extensions, are you familiar with the __FUNCTION__ macro?

See what you think about this (this will just get you a string with the name of the function:

#include 
#include 


void printme(char *foo)
{
    printf("%s says %s\n", __FUNCTION__, foo);
}


int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

    printme("hey");

    return 0;
}
