|
|
|
|
<p>The C preprocessor informs the C compiler of the location in your source
|
|
code where each token came from. Presently, this is just the file name
|
|
and line number. All the tokens resulting from macro expansion are
|
|
reported as having appeared on the line of the source file where the
|
|
outermost macro was used. We intend to be more accurate in the future.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If you write a program which generates source code, such as the
|
|
<code>bison</code> parser generator, you may want to adjust the preprocessor’s
|
|
notion of the current file name and line number by hand. Parts of the
|
|
output from <code>bison</code> are generated from scratch, other parts come
|
|
from a standard parser file. The rest are copied verbatim from
|
|
<code>bison</code>’s input. You would like compiler error messages and
|
|
symbolic debuggers to be able to refer to <code>bison</code>’s input file.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<a name="index-_0023line"></a>
|
|
<p><code>bison</code> or any such program can arrange this by writing
|
|
‘<samp>#line</samp>’ directives into the output file. ‘<samp>#line</samp>’ is a
|
|
directive that specifies the original line number and source file name
|
|
for subsequent input in the current preprocessor input file.
|
|
‘<samp>#line</samp>’ has three variants:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<dl compact="compact">
|
|
<dt><code>#line <var>linenum</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p><var>linenum</var> is a non-negative decimal integer constant. It specifies
|
|
the line number which should be reported for the following line of
|
|
input. Subsequent lines are counted from <var>linenum</var>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>#line <var>linenum</var> <var>filename</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p><var>linenum</var> is the same as for the first form, and has the same
|
|
effect. In addition, <var>filename</var> is a string constant. The
|
|
following line and all subsequent lines are reported to come from the
|
|
file it specifies, until something else happens to change that.
|
|
<var>filename</var> is interpreted according to the normal rules for a string
|
|
constant: backslash escapes are interpreted. This is different from
|
|
‘<samp>#include</samp>’.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>#line <var>anything else</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p><var>anything else</var> is checked for macro calls, which are expanded.
|
|
The result should match one of the above two forms.
|
|
</p></dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>‘<samp>#line</samp>’ directives alter the results of the <code>__FILE__</code> and
|
|
<code>__LINE__</code> predefined macros from that point on. See <a href="Standard-Predefined-Macros.html#Standard-Predefined-Macros">Standard Predefined Macros</a>. They do not have any effect on ‘<samp>#include</samp>’’s
|
|
idea of the directory containing the current file.
