What if the string literal results from stringizing other tokens (which might have arisen in turn from macro expansion, including expansion of built-in macros not just those defined in source files, etc.)? "You don't get precise locations" would be a fine answer for such cases - provided there is good testsuite coverage of them to show they don't crash the compiler or underline nonsensical characters. > + return "range starts after LINE_MAP_MAX_LOCATION_WITH_COLS"; Where do these strings get used? Hopefully not in diagnostics for users, as they aren't written in user terms, and any diagnostic string like that would need to be marked up to be extracted for translation. -- Joseph S.
