NAME¶

std::experimental::source_location::function_name - std::experimental::source_location::function_name

Synopsis¶

constexpr const char* function_name() const noexcept; (library fundamentals TS v2)

Returns the name of the function associated with the position represented by this
object, if any.

Parameters¶

(none)

Return value¶

If this object represents a position in a body of a function, returns an
implementation-defined null-terminated byte string corresponding to the name of the
function.

Otherwise, an empty string is returned.

Example¶

The following example shows how it is possible to use the
std::source_location::function_name() to print a name of a function, constructor,
destructor, or overloaded operator().

// Run this code

#include <experimental/source_location>
#include <iostream>
#include <string_view>

inline void function_name(
const std::string_view signature = "()",
const std::experimental::source_location& location
= std::experimental::source_location::current())
{
std::cout
<< location.function_name() // <- name of the caller!
<< signature
<< '\n';
}

void foo() { function_name(); }

struct S {
S() { function_name(); }
S(int) { function_name("(int)"); }
S& operator=(S const&) { function_name("(const S&)"); return *this; }
S& operator=(S&&) { function_name("(S&&)"); return *this; }
~S() { function_name(); }
};

int main()
{
foo();
S p;
S q{42};
p = q;
p = std::move(q);
}

Possible output:¶

foo()
S()
S(int)
operator=(const S&)
operator=(S&&)
~S()
~S()
