I think the line directives are nearly useless when you want to debug those files. A comment with the file name and line number would often better. However, those line directives are also used by GCC when emitting error or warning messages during compilation and are useful in those cases. Line directives are only usable with line numbers of at most 32767 while you can put anyting in a comment. For debugging, you can filter the offending file through something like sed -e 's_^#line _// _' and recompile. -- Rask Ingemann Lambertsen
