How to Get the Current Class Name in C ?

Macro CLASS Equivalent in C

In C , unlike the FUNCTION macro that provides the name of the current function, there is no built-in macro that directly provides the name of the current class.

Solution

As mentioned in the provided answer, a similar functionality can be achieved using the typeid(*this).name() method. However, this method has limitations when used in static methods.

For static methods and general scenarios, alternative approaches using macros are available. One approach involves utilizing the PRETTY_FUNCTION macro:

For Method Name:

#define __METHOD_NAME__ methodName(__PRETTY_FUNCTION__)

inline std::string methodName(const std::string& prettyFunction) {
    // Extract and return the method name
    ...
}

For Class Name:

#define __CLASS_NAME__ className(__PRETTY_FUNCTION__)

inline std::string className(const std::string& prettyFunction) {
    // Extract and return the class name
    ...
}

Note that this approach relies on the PRETTY_FUNCTION macro, which is specific to certain compilers like gcc.
