This is wrong! You should use some magic constants that the compiler
replaces with the real file name and line number. In C, this would go
something like this (toy example):
#define DEBUG(str) fprintf(stderr, "%s:%d: %s", __FILE__, __LINE__, str)
and you would use the macro in your code as:
DEBUG("starting steamfield manager");
