Is it ever possible to get the current (member) function name in C++?

Question

I don’t know much about RTTI, but I believe that thanks to that you can retrieve the name of variables at run-time. Is it possible to retrieve the name of the function the

Answer 1

C++11 standardized __func__ for the current function.

Various compilers support variations of __FUNCTION__, __PRETTY_FUNCTION__, and others.

Answer 2

No, it is not possible. C++ does not support reflection (neither static nor dynamic) (like e.g. C#). You would need some preprocessor magic to emulate that.

Apart from that, there is not necessarily a notion of a function/method name during run-time (this only available as debugging information if you compiled your sources with the corresponding flags).

Answer 3

No.

C++'s run-time type identification allows you to figure out the type of an object, but not the name of the method you're currently in.

Answer 4

If you're doing GNU compatible stuffs, you may want to try backtrace.
