#8220: Macros / functions for source location -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: wojteknar | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by simonpj): Also in Template Haskell you can get the source location of the splice. Thus {{{ ...$(do { loc <- location; ... }).... }}} But not (currently) the name of the enclosing function. It's not obvious exactly what you need here. The innermost enclosing function? Outermost? What if the splice is in a type declaration not a value declaration? In general, TH (rather than CPP) seems a nicer place to experiment. You could work on a design in collaboration with others, with worked-out use- cases.
