I knew about the location info stuff, but this applies to all messages logged, and that will clearly affect performance even more than doing it for just a few log messages. Also, the location info does not include the entire stack trace, thus making it difficult to trace the entire chain of method calls... The problem with my approach is that it is not configurable; you have to recompile to add stack trace information to a particular place in your code. But I still think it is useful, for debugging purposes mainly.
