get path to current instance as string for $display

[Joseph H Allen]

How can $display a path to the instance containing the $display? Is there
some function to get this as a string?

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for.

$display("%m");

You can also get it as a string (easier in SystemVerilog,
of course):

reg [1:8*lots] inst_name_string;
// string inst_name_string; // in SystemVerilog
...
$sformat(s, "%m");
