So we using gcc on an embedded platform. ie. Very constrained flash & ram.
We also using asserts.
Storing __LINE__ and __FILE__ is taking too much flash.
Question: I would like to create an assert macro ....
#define Assert( expression) do {\
if(!(expression)) { \
assert_occurred_at_program_counter = THE_ADDRESS_OF_THIS_LINE(); \
}
} while(0)
So how do I write that magical function / macro
THE_ADDRESS_OF_THIS_LINE(); That returns the address / PC at that line?
Preferable in a CPU neutral fashion, otherwise for a Sparc CPU.
