	Agreed!  Not to sound like a troll, but I'd submit that this forum is a
better place for programming questions than other topics attempted here.

	I use this a lot, but there a new gcc-only construct "__FUNCTION__",
used like "__FILE__", which will substitute the name of the current
function as a quoted string.

	Just FYI, and as a matter of both style and later convenience, I write
my functions with the scope and type on a separate line like this:

static char *
foo (char *bar)
{
}

So that a search of:

	grep '^foo' *.c

will return the definition (or is that declaration, I can never remember
which is which ;-) of the function itself, none of it's calls.
