__LINE__ and affiliates

I would like to be able to add code line number and build dates into my debug output, which I output on the UART of an LPC111x using sprintf.

I included __LINE__ and __TIMESTAMP__ in sprintf arguments and #warning, but they are not recognized.

sprintf(UART_string,"Example: __TIMESTAMP__ __LINE__ \r\n");

Are they available and how do I activate them?

Are there alternative ways to get release time stamp into debug information?

You could also use simple concatenation (and thus remove the need to sprintf)

UART_string = "Example: " _TIMESTAMP__ " " __LINE__ "\r\n" ;

I've used:

printf("LPC11C14-CAN Version 1.0 "__DATE__" "__TIME__"\n\r");

Try changing to something like:

sprintf(UART_string,"Example: %s %s  \r\n", __TIMESTAMP__,__LINE__ );
