Re: [Cppunit-devel] GCC: __PRETTY_FUNCTION__

[Baptiste L. <gai...@fr...>]

Are others interested in the __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ support ? I was digging in
the ML archive when I found that very old mail (that apparently went
unanswered :-( ).

Suggested implementation: extending SourceLine (that's a 10mn change since
everything is centralized there. What a foresight ;-) ).

The big bad thing that will take time is detecting gcc and adding the
necessary autoconf/configure thingy. Well, and may be figuring out how to
extend the Outputters... ;-)

Sending me a zip of the modified files, based on the lastest release or
CVS...
