some good tips

although i do think __ FUNCSIG __ deserves a mention along with __FILE__ and __LINE__ :)

Ah, except __FUNCSIG__ isn't portable/standard.

i believe it works with the gcc, clang and msvs compilers across ios, android, windows phone, linux, windows desktop, windows metro, mac os and the game console compilers.

sure its not standard, but in practice its never caused me a problem.

Funny thing is, I tried using __FUNCSIG__ with gcc and clang before I posted. Doesn't work; gcc 4.8.0 on Linux and clang 3.1 on Cygwin. Looks like a Microsoftism to me.

I did mention this during the talk, but missed writing about it. Will add it in my next edit! :)
