I really don't understand why you'd want this. And more to the point, 
I'm really curious how you could implement this in C++:

// show what you want above.
BOOST_LOG(app) << "result of f() " << f();

And finally, I don't know why you'd want the above. What if f() then 
calls g(), and so on, all this functions doing some logging.
Would you actually prefer:

a.cpp:14: result of f()
[100 lines of other logged messages]
a.cpp:14: 1234

To:

[100 lines of other logged messages]
a.cpp:14: result of f(): 1234

Best,
John
