OK. Is there a Boost macro like this already?

#include <boost/config.hpp>

#ifdef BOOST_MSVC # define BOOST_LINE_COUNTER __COUNTER__ #else # define BOOST_LINE_COUNTER __LINE__ #endif

__COUNTER__ is also available in gcc4.3 and later. http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Common-Predefined-Macros.html#Common-Prede... I don't know how precisely it matches the MSVC __COUNTER__ in various cases like pre-compiled headers and the like.
