What triggers the line change is the *expansion* of the built-in macro
__LINE__.
That is, the token "3". As the existing location tracking facility
doesn't track the locations for tokens originating from the expansion of
built-in macros, the relationship "3" -> __LINE__ is lost.
My understanding is that to avoid emitting the line marker in this case,
we'd need to track the "3" -> __LINE__ relationship so that we can
detect that "3" is the expansion of the built-in macro__LINE__.
This would be a separate patch that I'd need to work on and test
separately I guess.
Should that prevent this patch to go in now?
