+# Command line define to provide basename of file being compiled to source.
+#   The C macro THIS_FILE can replace the use of __FILE__ in the source
+#   files for the current filename being compiled.
+#   The value of the __FILE__ macro is unpredictable and can be anything
+#   from a relative path to a full path, THIS_FILE will be more consistent..
+#   The THIS_FILE macro will always be just the basename of the file being
+#   compiled.
+#   Different string literals in the the object files makes it difficult to
+#   compare shared libraries from different builds.
+#
+#   NOTE: If the THIS_FILE macro is actually expanded while in an included
+#         source file, it will not return the name of the included file.
