Hi Walter,

Since D doesn't seem to have any preprocessing facility (like as C/C++) and
the reasons are well known, I think it will be handy to reserve some king of
directives which will change the line numeration in sources.

The purpose is simple. If I write my own preprocessor, I surely can setup
compiling process for 2 stages: preprocessing and compiling. But after
preprocessing I will have temporary source file with line numeration that
doesn't correspond to original source file. In error messages I want
compiler to report the original line #, not the line # of temporary file.

The solution is to add directive like '#line nnn' with C'ish meaning.
Then during preprocessing I can place this directives in order to save the
original line order.

What do you think?

Aiieeeeeeee <g>

I understand the problem. Solutions I've seen in other places for the same
problem is to drive the dmd compiler from a shell (you're already probably
doing that). The shell remembers the mapping of processed line numbers to
original source lines. The shell intercepts the DMD error messages and
remaps the line numbers.

Ok, it's doable.
