[Duncan P. N. Exon Smith via cfe-users]

`strrchr(__FILE__, '/')+1` should get resolved at compile-time whenever you have optimizations on.

This is because (I think) we use the __FILE__ macro as part of our logging, to log file:line information. I find this info a boon, and we log that even in release builds to help track down issues reported by customers. At run time, we trim off all of the path except for the filename and extension.
