It might be a good idea to use the macro

  http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/vl_prog_cc_warnings.html

to do that, so that warnings are enabled using the appropriate
flags for the compiler.

<boost/current_function.hpp> defines the BOOST_CURRENT_FUNCTION
macro for this purpose. It will come out as __PRETTY_FUNCTION__
most of the time anyway.

I'm not quite sure either, but I seem to recall that support for
these kind of "dynamic" arrays was added in C99 for the first
time. I don't think C++ supports it.
