C/C++ line number

by

You should use the preprocessor macro __LINE__ and __FILE__. They are predefined macros and part of the C/C++ standard. During preprocessing, they are replaced respectively by a constant string holding an integer representing the current line number and by the current file name.

Others preprocessor variables :

  • __func__ : function name (this is part of C99, not all C++ compilers support it)
  • __DATE__ : a string of form “Mmm dd yyyy”
  • __TIME__ : a string of form “hh:mm:ss”

Your code will be :

if(!Logical)
  printf("Not logical value at line number %d in file %s\n", __LINE__, __FILE__);
