Is there a way to get ROS_INFO, ROS_ERROR, etc to output line numbers?

The title says it all. Is there a flag somewhere I can set to get the ROS_INFO/ROS_ERROR/... macros to output line numbers, or is that something I'm going to have to feed to ROS_INFO myself by using __LINE__?

This page's section about Console Output Formatting is what you are looking for.

Essentially

export ROSCONSOLE_FORMAT='[${severity}] [${time}]@${line}: ${message}'
  • ${line} for __LINE__
  • ${function} for __func__
  • ${file} for __FILE__
  • ${node} for the node name, no pre-processor equivalent.

If you double-click a given roslog message in rxconsole, it will bring up a window with this information.

Hmm; this isn't working for me. I'm sure I could get it working, but before I invest energy in that, I'd like to revisit the original question: is there any way to get ROS_INFO to print the line number (without need of external tools like rxconsole)?

What's not working? When you double-click a line in rxconsole, it shows "Location" which is a file and line number. This information is contained in all messages on the rosout topic. If you rostopic echo rosout you will see file: and line: message fields for each rosout message.
