Just have a look at a minimal example on godbolt:
https://godbolt.org/g/MRjGG3

Indeed the function call gets resolved at compile time. But that does
not mean that only the basename of __FILE__ is present in the binary.
No compiler that you can test on godbolt does this actually, neither
with -O3 nor with -Os.
