    Functions don’t know about their calling environment (at least not in a useful way). The only way is to use a macro instead. Inside the macro, you have access to the self and _cmd arguments that hold the receiver and current selector, as well as the __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ macro that contains the human-readable name of the method as a C string.
