__FILE__ macro not working properly

Using the _FILE_ and _FUNCTION_ macros in unreal engine do not work properly.

UE_LOG(LogTemp, Log, TEXT("%s::%s::%d "), __FILE__, __FUNCTION__, __LINE__);

outputs:

Which… uh… is not the file name nor function name, but it IS the correct line number, so _LINE_ works just fine.

Is there a way to fix this, or is that just the way it is?

Answered my own question. For those wondering, this:

UE_LOG(LogTemp, Log, TEXT("%s::%s::%d "), *FString(__FILE__), *FString(__FUNCTION__), __LINE__);

Prints the correct thing. Just had to cast them to an FString first.
