--- Comment #11 from Segher Boessenkool <segher at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Jonny Grant from comment #9) > Maybe zero could be disallowed too. Yes, but maybe we need that for historical reasons. > Not sure what is best here, I'm not knowledgeable of GCC, but maybe setting > it to -1 if it goes above, and then never increment again if(-1 == line) ... The testcase will still ICE then... The assert is /* The spans must be ordered. */ gcc_assert (prev->m_first_line < next->m_first_line);
