Can __FILE__ not print the full path?

[Alex Hall]

Hello list,
I recently discovered __LINE__, __FUNCTION__, and the rest, and they're brilliant for debugging. My only complaint is that __FILE__ prints the full path, which is quite long as my files are all in iCloud Drive. Is there some way to have that keyword print only the actual filename? No two files in my project are the same name, so I don't need the full path. I could strip everything else away in a function, but I wanted to know if there's a built-in way of doing that first. Thanks.

Yup! I use __func__, which IIRC prints the name in a nicer way than __FUNC__.

How about: #define SHORT_FILE  [@ __FILE__ lastPathComponent]

Your reply looks like it's meant for Obj-C.

 

In Swift, AFAIK the only keywords of this type are __FILE__, __LINE__, __COLUMN__, and __FUNCTION__.

 

If you want to use __FUNCTION__ without the path, you're going to need to write a function to do it, or just say something like

 

    (__FILE__ as NSString).lastPathComponent
