definitely isn't.

glib.h does have G_GNUC_FUNCTION and G_GNUC_PRETTY_FUNCTION that
turn into "" when the compiler doesn't support the capability.

C99 has __func__  but it behaves a bit differently than
__FUNCTION__; it is a magic variable rather than a string
literal. (See recent gcc info pages for details.)
