So etags will have to > put the #line directive's line number directly into TAGS. I do not think this is correct. The program generating the #line directives can, I think, be assumed to output a new #line directive whenever there is no 1:1 correspondence. I do believe that Sven is right. That's the precise purpose of the #line directive. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
