OPENSSL_FILE

NAME

OPENSSL_FILE, OPENSSL_LINE, OPENSSL_FUNC, OPENSSL_MSTR, OPENSSL_MSTR_HELPER - generic C programming utility macros

SYNOPSIS

#include <openssl/macros.h>

#define OPENSSL_FILE /* typically: __FILE__ */
#define OPENSSL_LINE /* typically: __LINE__ */
#define OPENSSL_FUNC /* typically: __func__ */

#define OPENSSL_MSTR_HELPER(x) #x
#define OPENSSL_MSTR(x) OPENSSL_MSTR_HELPER(x)

DESCRIPTION

The macros OPENSSL_FILE and OPENSSL_LINE typically yield the current filename and line number during C compilation. When OPENSSL_NO_FILENAMES is defined they yield "" and 0, respectively.

The macro OPENSSL_FUNC attempts to yield the name of the C function currently being compiled, as far as language and compiler versions allow. Otherwise, it yields "(unknown function)".

The macro OPENSSL_MSTR yields the expansion of the macro given as argument, which is useful for concatenation with string constants. The macro OPENSSL_MSTR_HELPER is an auxiliary macro for this purpose.

RETURN VALUES
