You could rewrite your functions to include that information

(No pretense of being real code)

main()
{
do_something("from main",1,2,3);
}

do_something( char *from, int i, int j, int k)
{
do_something_else("do_something",'a','b','c');
}

do_something_else( char *from, etc...)
{
printf("I was called from %s",from);
}


To get a full stack trace you would have to add some kind of link as well,
but I haven't thought to add that here.

Various compilers and debuggers have options to help do this sort of thing
much easier.
