No, that also doesn't work:

| crypto/zlib.c:150: error: expected '}' before string constant
| crypto/zlib.c:150: error: expected ')' before '__func__'
| crypto/zlib.c:162: error: expected '}' before string constant
| crypto/zlib.c:162: error: expected ')' before '__func__'
| crypto/zlib.c:166: error: expected '}' before string constant
| crypto/zlib.c:166: error: expected ')' before '__func__'
| crypto/zlib.c:170: error: expected '}' before string constant
| crypto/zlib.c:170: error: expected ')' before '__func__'

Bummer, I was so happy I could do things like

| #define pr_fmt(fmt) "%s:%u: " fmt, __func__, __LINE__

...
