There're some pre-defined macros in C, and we can make use of them to save programming code.
__FILE__ - a string that holds the path/name of the compiled file;
__LINE__ - an integer that holds the number of the current line number;
__DATE__ - a string that holds the current system date;
__TIME__ - a string that holds the current system time;
__STDC__ - defined as the value '1' if the compiler conforms with the ANSI C standard;
__cplusplus - determines if your compiler is in C or C++ mode. Usually used in headers.
It's self-explained source ^^!
#include <stdio.h>>
int
main( void )
{
printf("The path/name of this file is %s\n", __FILE__);
printf("The current line is %d\n", __LINE__);
printf("The current system date is %s\n", __DATE__);
printf("The current system time is %s\n", __TIME__);
#ifdef __STDC__
printf("The compiler conforms with the ANSI C standard\n");
#else
printf("The compiler doesn't conform with the ANSI C standard\n");
#endif
#ifdef __cplusplus
printf("The compiler is working with C++\n");
#else
printf("The compiler is working with C\n");
#endif
return 0;
}
Have fun!@
