Can I have access to the call stack in my code?

Question

Let's say I have a function:

firstFunction(){
    //some code here
    secondFunction();//call secondFunction
}

And inside secondFunction()

secondFunction(){
    //some code here
    //here call the function that called this ( in this case firstFunction() )
}

I want to call whatever function called another function within that next-in-the-call-stack function without having to explicitly write the function's name. Is that possible?

Answer 1

C++ does not explicitly provide this feature. There are some libraries you can use to print a backtrace, but if functions are inlined, they could be elided from the list.

You'll probably need to track this yourself with some function argument.
