__FILE__ is a macro for the path to the current source file. I would like to remove the common prefix (like "c:\dev\my_program\") from it, which is in a preprocessor macro SOLUTIONDIR. Is there a metaprogramming way to do that?

So the class TSuffix should be used like this:

TSuffix::value // cuts prefix of length n off char array x

[Nat] ? Is MPL needed? For a classic const char[] string literal, wouldn't (__FILE__ + n) get you what you want?
