Re: __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ cont

Solved!

Thanks for the pointer llewelly... (I should have tried it)

whenever you put an assert in your code, the definition of assert w/out 
-DNDEBUG has a PRETTY_FUNCTION symbol in it.

So,

#include <cassert>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
  assert(0);
}

generates a PRETTY_FUNCTION symbol, even though it isn't in your code.
