Function __FILE__

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page   

Returns source file name of the current code.

 

Unit

EDebugInfo

 

Syntax

 

Code (Delphi)

function __FILE__: String;

 

Return value

Source name for the caller. For example: 'Unit1.pas', 'Unit1.cpp', 'Code.inc'.

 

Remarks

This function is a simple combination of GetLocationInfo and GetCaller functions.

 

Note

Source name may be different from unit name. For example, if you add an include file with code, then unit name will be something like 'Unit1', while source name will be 'Code.inc' for all code inside the include file. The same is true for generics. Unit name may be 'Unit1.pas', while source could be 'System.Generics.Collections.pas'.
