I've seen it where an error log contains the source file name, line number, etc where the error took place. I have been able to figure that part of the error simply includes what file it is in, but since line numbers change constantly, how is that found and output?

Assuming c/c++.

The preprocessor will change __LINE__ and __FILE__ to values which show up the actual file and line numbers.

So your log could be like this:

void log( const std::string &file, int line, const std::string &message ){   //output;}#define log(M) log(__FILE__,__LINE__,(M) )

Now we can use log("Hello World"); and let the compiler do the hard work for us.
