I use

(defun copy-buffer-file-name-as-kill (&optional nondirectory)
  (interactive "P")
  (let ((f (buffer-file-name)))
    (when nondirectory
      (setq f (file-name-nondirectory f)))
    (kill-new f)
    (message "%s" f)))

IMO it would be nice to have something like this bound to some key in 
`emacs -Q'; as well as something like insert-file-name-into-minibuffer
because it is common to recall that you need the buffer file name only 
once you already started typing the compilation command. Furthermore, 
M-n does not insert buffer file name in M-x compile.
