but my question is that if a function can print its name with

macro then why it can not print its callers name.

The __FUNCTION__ macro is handled by the preprocessor and is simply a textual replacement at compile time. It's not (terribly) difficult for the preprocessor to track which function it's processing at a time.

I can't find any mention of __FUNCTION__ in n1256. I *can* find __func__. Is __FUNCTION__ at all standard?

It doesn't matter - the point that needed to be made to the OP was that macros are processed by the precompiler. The guy didn't need (as far as I can see) to worry about whether the particular macro he was referring to was part of the standard.

Yes, that's why I replied to you and not to him. I wasn't nitpicking, I was asking a question, because I'm not certain enough of Acrobat's searching functionality to be sure that __FUNCTION__ isn't in there.
