--- Comment #2 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-07-17 12:37:52 UTC --- Okay, I think I understand: #include "myfile.f90" gets translated (cpp) into # 1 "myfile.f90" 1 ... content of that file ... # 8 "myfile.f90" 2 Where "1" is the first line of "file" and "8" is the line, in the main file, after the #include. However, '#line 1234 "file"' gets translated into a simple: # 1234 "file" And the scanner.c code seemingly doesn't handle the case of having no number after the string. The following feels a bit hackish, but it works. I think the function could do with some more comments. --- a/gcc/fortran/scanner.c +++ b/gcc/fortran/scanner.c @@ -1728,2 +1728,8 @@ preprocessor_line (gfc_char_t *c) + if (! *c) + { + flag[1] = true; + goto process; + } + for (;;) @@ -1741,2 +1747,3 @@ preprocessor_line (gfc_char_t *c) +process: /* Convert the filename in wide characters into a filename in narrow
