17.8 Source location [support.srcloc]

17.8.2 Class source_location [support.srcloc.class]

17.8.2.1 General [support.srcloc.class.general]

namespace std { struct source_location { // source location construction static consteval source_location current() noexcept; constexpr source_location() noexcept; // source location field access constexpr uint_least32_t line() const noexcept; constexpr uint_least32_t column() const noexcept; constexpr const char* file_name() const noexcept; constexpr const char* function_name() const noexcept; private: uint_least32_t line_; // exposition only uint_least32_t column_; // exposition only const char* file_name_; // exposition only const char* function_name_; // exposition only }; }

The type source_location meets the Cpp17DefaultConstructible, Cpp17CopyConstructible, Cpp17CopyAssignable, Cpp17Swappable, and Cpp17Destructible requirements ([utility.arg.requirements], [swappable.requirements]).

All of the following conditions are true:

(1.1)
is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<source_location>
(1.2)
is_nothrow_move_assignable_v<source_location>
(1.3)
is_nothrow_swappable_v<source_location>

[Note 1:

The intent of source_location is to have a small size and efficient copying.

It is unspecified whether the copy/move constructors and the copy/move assignment operators are trivial and/or constexpr.

— end note]

The data members file_name_ and function_name_ always each refer to an ntbs.

The copy/move constructors and the copy/move assignment operators of source_location meet the following postconditions: Given two objects lhs and rhs of type source_location, where lhs is a copy/move result of rhs, and where rhs_p is a value denoting the state of rhs before the corresponding copy/move operation, then each of the following conditions is true:

(3.1)
strcmp(lhs.file_name(), rhs_p.file_name()) == 0
(3.2)
strcmp(lhs.function_name(), rhs_p.function_name()) == 0
(3.3)
lhs.line() == rhs_p.line()
(3.4)
lhs.column() == rhs_p.column()

17.8.2.2 Creation [support.srcloc.cons]

🔗

static consteval source_location current() noexcept;

Returns:

(1.1)

When invoked by a function call whose postfix-expression is a (possibly parenthesized) id-expression naming current, returns a source_location with an implementation-defined value.

The value should be affected by #line ([cpp.line]) in the same manner as for __LINE__ and __FILE__.

The values of the exposition-only data members of the returned source_location object are indicated in Table 39 .

Table 39: Value of object returned by current [tab:support.srcloc.current]

🔗	Element	Value
🔗	line_	A presumed line number ([cpp.predefined]). Line numbers are presumed to be 1-indexed; however, an implementation is encouraged to use 0 when the line number is unknown.
🔗	column_	An implementation-defined value denoting some offset from the start of the line denoted by line_. Column numbers are presumed to be 1-indexed; however, an implementation is encouraged to use 0 when the column number is unknown.
🔗	file_name_	A presumed name of the current source file ([cpp.predefined]) as an ntbs.
🔗	function_name_	A name of the current function such as in __func__ ([dcl.fct.def.general]) if any, an empty string otherwise.

(1.2)
Otherwise, when invoked in some other way, returns a source_location whose data members are initialized with valid but unspecified values.

Remarks: Any call to current that appears as a default member initializer ([class.mem]), or as a subexpression thereof, should correspond to the location of the constructor definition or aggregate initialization that uses the default member initializer.

Any call to current that appears as a default argument ([dcl.fct.default]), or as a subexpression thereof, should correspond to the location of the invocation of the function that uses the default argument ([expr.call]).

[Example 1: struct s { source_location member = source_location::current(); int other_member; s(source_location loc = source_location::current()) : member(loc) // values of member refer to the location of the calling function ([dcl.fct.default]) {} s(int blather) : // values of member refer to this location other_member(blather) {} s(double) // values of member refer to this location {} }; void f(source_location a = source_location::current()) { source_location b = source_location::current(); // values in b refer to this line } void g() { f(); // f's first argument corresponds to this line of code source_location c = source_location::current(); f(c); // f's first argument gets the same values as c, above } — end example]

constexpr source_location() noexcept;

Effects: The data members are initialized with valid but unspecified values.
