(Search forward for the "instanti" and find the reference that matches your
situation?)

For instance:

__FILE__, __LINE__, __func__, __PRETTY_FUNCTION__Diagnostics for “where am
I?” Note that the first three are standard and provided by any compiler,
__PRETTY_FUNCTION__ is a GCC-ism and contains the “decorated name”, which
includes all of the arguments and template instantiations. The only good
reason I’ve heard to use __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ is the template instantiation
inclusion (e.g. “this problem happens with std::vector<MyCrappyType>, and
not with just any vector type).
