__FILE__ macro

Steven Logan

When using the __FILE__ macro in RVDS4, it only expands to "source/file.cpp". It won't ever expand to more than just the directory the file is in.
It seems everyone has problems shortening the path from __FILE__ rather than getting it to show more.

Is there anyway to resolve this?

    You are right in that __FILE__ is what is given on the command line. At least for me this is the case. I would be able to achieve what I require by using a longer path as it currently stands I only require the name of the folder the source directory is in, each of these folders are respective of their separate project. i.e. project_name/source/file.cpp. However trying to adjust the supplied paths to give me what I need could potentially cause a whole load of other problems.

    Currently I am trying to define a macro called FILE_NAME using -DFILE_NAME="project_name/source/file.cpp" however I get no end of errors, mostly telling me that FILE_NAME is undefined.
