| Subject: [PATCH] Add module __func__ to provide C99 __func__ variable.
|
| ---
|  doc/gnulib.texi        |   14 ++++++++++++++
|  m4/__func__.m4         |   20 ++++++++++++++++++++
|  modules/__func__       |   20 ++++++++++++++++++++

Maybe it's just me, but I hate typing _ (it involves a shift key and some
coordination).  Can we name it modules/func rather than modules/__func__?

| [EMAIL PROTECTED] __func__
| [EMAIL PROTECTED] __func__
| +
| +The @code{__func__} module makes sure that you can use the
| [EMAIL PROTECTED] variable as defined by C99 in your code.

Should we use the C99 terminology, where __func__ is predefined
identifier?  Technically, since it is const and not an lvalue, the term
variable is a bit misleading.

| +
| +A small example is:
| +
| [EMAIL PROTECTED]
| +#include <config.h>

#include <stdio.h> /* for printf */

| +...
| +printf ("%s: something happened\n", __func__);
| [EMAIL PROTECTED] smallexample

Include a function declaration around the use of __func__ in your example,
since using __func__ outside a function is undefined.

| +  ASSERT (strlen (__func__) + 1 == sizeof (__func__));

The () around __func__ are extraneous.
