Hi,
I want to access the function name of the calling function in the called function without passing any information in the parameters or as global variables. I need this for changing my Legacy Application's error handling routine.
For ex.
a()
{
...
// calls function b
b(2);
}

b(int l)
{
...
// print the name of function from which it was called
// in this case the calling function is 'a'
}


Thanks in advance...
Cheers
Nimesh

Can't be done, you need to use the __FUNCTION__ macro and pass it through. The best way to do this is by using a macro or inline function.
