MACRO: are there macros, that store function-names etc.?

[AMosmann]

I want to test a big block of functions.
For that I decided to write a MACRO called XTRACE,
that will show a string (like TRACE).
The problem in TRACE is, that it only will show 200 lines.

this XTRACE should show the time when it is called, the Function from where it is called, a string

and all that I will write in a stream.

1st problem: Is there a standard-macro that stores the Name of a function (are there any functions that store a status of precompiler)
2nd problem: to write into a stream needs to open, write, close every time. does anyone know a better way (must work, if the debug is broken before end)

Thanx

These macros are valuable when logging / tracing :
__FILE__ and __LINE__ (Return char* and integer)

If you have a .net compiler i think this is available also :
__FUNCTION__
