__FUNCTION__ or an equivalent is MANDATED by C99, and available on UnixWare's native cc.(__FUNCTION__ is only used if we are compiling in gcc). errstart() pushes an empty entry onto an error-data-collection stack and fills in the behind-the-scenes file/line entries. errmsg() and friends stash values into the top-level stack entry. Finally errfinish() assembles and emits the completed message, then pops the stack. By using a stack, we can be assured that things will work correctly if a message is logged by some subroutine called in the parameters to ereport (not too unlikely when you think about formatting functions like format_type_be()).
You might want to make a configure test for it.
I believe the __func__ is the C99 spelling (that's what's available on UnixWare):
$ cc -O -o testfunc testfunc.c
$ ./testfunc
function=main,file=testfunc.c,line=4
$ cat testfunc.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc,char **argv)
{
printf("function=%s,file=%s,line=%d\n",__func__,__FILE__,__LINE__);
}
