  59. <p>The C preprocessor informs the C compiler of the location in your source
  60. code where each token came from. Presently, this is just the file name
  61. and line number. All the tokens resulting from macro expansion are
  62. reported as having appeared on the line of the source file where the
  63. outermost macro was used. We intend to be more accurate in the future.
  64. </p>
  65. <p>If you write a program which generates source code, such as the
  66. <code>bison</code> parser generator, you may want to adjust the preprocessor&rsquo;s
  67. notion of the current file name and line number by hand. Parts of the
  68. output from <code>bison</code> are generated from scratch, other parts come
  69. from a standard parser file. The rest are copied verbatim from
  70. <code>bison</code>&rsquo;s input. You would like compiler error messages and
  71. symbolic debuggers to be able to refer to <code>bison</code>&rsquo;s input file.
  72. </p>
  73. <span id="index-_0023line"></span>
  74. <p><code>bison</code> or any such program can arrange this by writing
  75. &lsquo;<samp>#line</samp>&rsquo; directives into the output file. &lsquo;<samp>#line</samp>&rsquo; is a
  76. directive that specifies the original line number and source file name
  77. for subsequent input in the current preprocessor input file.
  78. &lsquo;<samp>#line</samp>&rsquo; has three variants:
  79. </p>
  80. <dl compact="compact">
  81. <dt><code>#line <var>linenum</var></code></dt>
  82. <dd><p><var>linenum</var> is a non-negative decimal integer constant. It specifies
  83. the line number which should be reported for the following line of
  84. input. Subsequent lines are counted from <var>linenum</var>.
  85. </p>
  86. </dd>
  87. <dt><code>#line <var>linenum</var> <var>filename</var></code></dt>
  88. <dd><p><var>linenum</var> is the same as for the first form, and has the same
  89. effect. In addition, <var>filename</var> is a string constant. The
  90. following line and all subsequent lines are reported to come from the
  91. file it specifies, until something else happens to change that.
  92. <var>filename</var> is interpreted according to the normal rules for a string
  93. constant: backslash escapes are interpreted. This is different from
  94. &lsquo;<samp>#include</samp>&rsquo;.
  95. </p>
  96. </dd>
  97. <dt><code>#line <var>anything else</var></code></dt>
  98. <dd><p><var>anything else</var> is checked for macro calls, which are expanded.
  99. The result should match one of the above two forms.
  100. </p></dd>
  101. </dl>
  102. <p>&lsquo;<samp>#line</samp>&rsquo; directives alter the results of the <code>__FILE__</code> and
  103. <code>__LINE__</code> predefined macros from that point on. See <a href="Standard-Predefined-Macros.html">Standard Predefined Macros</a>. They do not have any effect on &lsquo;<samp>#include</samp>&rsquo;&rsquo;s
  104. idea of the directory containing the current file.
