If __FILE__ and __LINE__ are template arguments to a logging function rather than function arguments (and you can't make __FILE__ and __LINE__ default function arguments if the function is variadic as it would have to be to support format strings), then you get a new template instantation every single time that you call the function, unless you call it more than once on the same line (which you're unlikely to ever do). I want to think that there's a way to handle this if you get clever, but I can't think of a clever way to get around the problem at the moment. - Jonathan M Davis
