But __LINE__ is wrong. Forget what I said about __C_FILE__ and
__C_LINE__, __C_LINE__ would not work for inline functions. Looks like
the best option is a combination of __BASE_FILE__ and function name.

a.h
#define BUG() \
  printf("kernel BUG in func %s, file %s\n",__FUNCTION__,__BASE_FILE__);

static inline void hello(void)
{
  BUG();
}

a.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <a.h>

int main()
{
    hello();
    hello();
    return 0;
}

# gcc -I`pwd` `pwd`/a.c -o a
# ./a
kernel BUG in func hello, file /home/kaos/a.c
kernel BUG in func hello, file /home/kaos/a.c
