Debugging Issue


I'm learning C programming ( ) and i've found that a macro that apprently is very good doesn't work - hmmm me thinks this ain't THAT good :P

The macro is :

Code:
#define TRACE printf("%s @ %u\n",_ _FILE_ _,_ _LINE_ _)
i've got it set in a test app so you can see how I've used it:

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#define TRACE printf("%s @ %u\n",_ _FILE_ _,_ _LINE_ _)
                                                                                                  
int main(int argc, char *argv[], char *envp[]) {
                                                                                                  
  printf("You $HOME variable is: %s\n\n", getenv("HOME"));
                                                                                                  
  TRACE;
                                                                                                  
return 0;
}
When I compile it I get this:

Code:
[ammullan@darkside Programming]$ gcc -o a -Wall a.c
a.c: In function `main':
a.c:10: `_' undeclared (first use in this function)
a.c:10: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
a.c:10: for each function it appears in.)
a.c:10: parse error before "_FILE_"
[ammullan@darkside Programming]$
Any ideas? As far as I can see the code's fine.....

Are you sure that's not supposed to be __FILE__, and __LINE__ ? (note the lack of spaces between underscores)

Hahahaha yup it is, tried it and worked fine...

I'm reading a SAMS book "Teach yourself Linux Programming" and it's been great so far but think i'm definately gonna go buy "The C Programming Language" now (written by authors of C so can't go wrong.

Thanks Strike
