C++ portable method to build a class and function string












2















I am trying to auto generate a string that can be used in debug logs, the syntax I would like is:



    ClassName::FunctionName


The source code can be used on two systems with different compilers, this includes:



    Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, Version 10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel


and



    QNX Momentics, Version 4.7


I've tried this so far:



    #if defined(__FUNCDNAME__)
#define FNAME __FUNCDNAME__
#elif defined(__FUNCTION__)
#define FNAME __FUNCTION__
#elif defined(__FUNSIG__)
#define FNAME __FUNSIG__
#elif defined(__func__)
#define FNAME __func__
#elif defined(__PRETTY_FUNCTION__)
#define FNAME __PRETTY_FUNCTION__
#else
#define FNAME ""
#endif


I then added a bit of test code so I could see the result in the debugger:



    char szTemp[128];
strcpy_s(szTemp, sizeof(szTemp), FNAME);


The result is not what I am after:



    ??0CLSNAME@@QAE@AAV?$SecBlock@EV?$AllocatorWithCleanup@ES0A@@@@@@0_N@Z


I have no idea what this is.



[Edit] I Changed the pre-processor's to give me a bit more visibility as to what is happening, now the code reads:



    szFrom[0] = '';
#if defined(__PRETTY_FUNCTION__)
#define FNAME __PRETTY_FUNCTION__
strcpy_s(szFrom, sizeof(szFrom), FNAME);
#endif
#if defined(__FUNCTION__)
#define FNAME __FUNCTION__
strcpy_s(szFrom, sizeof(szFrom), FNAME);
#endif
#if defined(__FUNCDNAME__)
#define FNAME __FUNCDNAME__
strcpy_s(szFrom, sizeof(szFrom), FNAME);
#endif
#if defined(__FUNSIG__)
#define FNAME __FUNSIG__
strcpy_s(szFrom, sizeof(szFrom), FNAME);
#endif
#if defined(__func__)
#define FNAME __func__
strcpy_s(szFrom, sizeof(szFrom), FNAME);
#endif


When using MSVC I can see the flow and ugly output comes from FUNCDNAME which is the only condition that the flow goes into.



[Edit 2] Final working solution:



    szFrom[0] = '';
#if defined(__PRETTY_FUNCTION__)
#define FNAME __PRETTY_FUNCTION__
strcpy_s(szFrom, sizeof(szFrom), FNAME);
#endif
#if defined(__FUNCTION__)
#define FNAME __FUNCTION__
strcpy_s(szFrom, sizeof(szFrom), FNAME);
#endif
#if defined(__FUNSIG__)
#define FNAME __FUNSIG__
strcpy_s(szFrom, sizeof(szFrom), FNAME);
#endif
#if defined(__func__)
#define FNAME __func__
strcpy_s(szFrom, sizeof(szFrom), FNAME);
#endif


On MSVC this gives the output:



    ClassName::FunctionName


Thanks go to P.W.

  • OT, but given that you're apparently trying to write portable code, I'd avoid any of the Annex K *_s() functions such as strcpy_s(). Per open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1967.htm: A widespread fallacy originated by Microsoft's deprecation of the standard functions [DEPR] in an effort to increase the adoption of the APIs is that every call to the standard functions is necessarily unsafe and should be replaced by one to the "safer" API

  • (cont) and Microsoft Visual Studio implements an early version of the APIs. However, the implementation is incomplete and conforms neither to C11 nor to the original TR 24731-1. ... As a result of the numerous deviations from the specification the Microsoft implementation cannot be considered conforming or portable.

    The result you've given is on VS or QNX? It would help if you can post the result on both the platforms.

    I'd also rearrange the order to use __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ first to hopefully get the demangled name, then the standards-compliant __func__, then the others. See stackoverflow.com/questions/4384765/… But you should also try emitting all of them to see which one suits your needs bast. The problem may be that __func__ is not necessarily a macro.

If you want to print in the format ClassName::FunctionName in Visual Studio, __FUNCTION__ is the most suitable. So you will have to put it first in your hierarchy of conditional inclusions (#ifdefs).



#if defined(__FUNCTION__)
#define FNAME __FUNCTION__
...
...
#else
#define FNAME ""
#endif


You can see it live here.

    Which you is called decorated name. The name decorations c++ specific thing.
    It is need for the linker, which except unique names. But In c++ the two or more function can have same name. This is calling function overloading.



    Example:



    class
    {
    void Function()
    void Function( int i )
    void Function( string s)
    }


    this is valid code. So the compiler decorated the function names, based on the parameter list and the contains class name. So we give the unique name after the decoration mechanism.

          If you want to print in the format ClassName::FunctionName in Visual Studio, __FUNCTION__ is the most suitable. So you will have to put it first in your hierarchy of conditional inclusions (#ifdefs).



          #if defined(__FUNCTION__)
          #define FNAME __FUNCTION__
          ...
          ...
          #else
          #define FNAME ""
          #endif


          You can see it live here.

              Which you is called decorated name. The name decorations c++ specific thing.
              It is need for the linker, which except unique names. But In c++ the two or more function can have same name. This is calling function overloading.



              Example:



              class
              {
              void Function()
              void Function( int i )
              void Function( string s)
              }


              this is valid code. So the compiler decorated the function names, based on the parameter list and the contains class name. So we give the unique name after the decoration mechanism.
