Honestly it would be much better if the file and line were symbols you
could retrieve at any point in your function, e.g.:

void foo()
{
    string file = __FILE__;  // file of inside
    int line = __LINE__;  // line inside foo

    string callFile = __INFILE__;  // file of invocation
    int line = __INLINE__;  // line of invocation
}

That way you don't have to mess with your CT/RT parameters if all you
want to do is printf-style debugging.
