That prompted me to search the current sources to make sure that all uses were adequately protected, which they were. But to help prevent future uses to be made unprotected, this patch expands the current macro documentation a bit. gdb/ChangeLog: * common/common-utils.h (FUNCTION_NAME): Expand the macro's documentation a bit. --- diff --git a/gdb/ChangeLog b/gdb/ChangeLog index 66f040b..2ccf1cb 100644 --- a/gdb/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,8 @@ +2014-01-22 Joel Brobecker + + * common/common-utils.h (FUNCTION_NAME): Expand the macro's + documentation a bit. + 2014-01-21 Roland McGrath * configure.ac: Call AM_PROG_INSTALL_STRIP. diff --git a/gdb/common/common-utils.h b/gdb/common/common-utils.h index 2d99549..5960c55 100644 --- a/gdb/common/common-utils.h +++ b/gdb/common/common-utils.h @@ -25,7 +25,12 @@ #include #include -/* Version 2.4 and later of GCC define a magical variable `__PRETTY_FUNCTION__' +/* If possible, define FUNCTION_NAME, a macro containing the name of + the function being defined.
