#line directive
Salem, this is the solution I currently use before the C preprocessor. It has the weakness that if there is a #if/#endif enclosing the lines you added, then the scheme fails. If I were to work using your suggestion: after the C preprocessor, then the #line directive won't work I think. I looked... -
#line directive
Yes cpjust, this is the solution I gave. After every #else or #endif you recalculate the line number and issue a #line. But that makes you program more complex. Which is unfortunate. The C standard should have specified that #line is not subject to #if conditions. -
#line directive
Yes, one option is to process the file after the C preprocessor. But this option has its own issues. For example, if I insert new lines in the file, how do I inform the compiler of the new line numbering? Is there a standard method or is it compiler dependent? -
#line directive
Replacing #if 0 with #if 1: of course then it works. My point is that line numbering should be independent of other compiler directives. Line numbering should not change if I use #if 0 or #if 1. The line number in the file does not change!!! We could distinguish between two things: - Regular... -
#line directive
This is to propose an improvement to the #line directive of the C preprocessor, or to ask for a workaround. Currently, it seems that the #line directive is "ignored" if it lies between a #if and a #endif directives ! I believe that in most practical cases, this behavior is undesired. Example...
