  28 /* How do we represent a source location?  I mean, how should we
  29    represent them within GDB; the user wants to use all sorts of
  30    ambiguous abbreviations, like "break 32" and "break foo.c:32"
  31    ("foo.c" may have been #included into several compilation units),
  32    but what do we disambiguate those things to?
  33
  34    - Answer 1: "Filename and line number."  (Or column number, if
  35    you're picky.)  That's not quite good enough.  For example, the
  36    same source file can be #included into several different
  37    compilation units --- which #inclusion do you mean?
  38
  39    - Answer 2: "Compilation unit, filename, and line number."  This is
  40    a pretty good answer; GDB's `struct symtab_and_line' basically
  41    embodies this representation.  But it's still ambiguous; what if a
  42    given compilation unit #includes the same file twice --- how can I
  43    set a breakpoint on line 12 of the fifth #inclusion of "foo.c"?
  44
  45    - Answer 3: "Compilation unit, chain of #inclusions, and line
  46    number."  This is analogous to the way GCC reports errors in
  47    #include files:
  48
  49         $ gcc -c base.c
  50         In file included from header2.h:8,
  51                          from header1.h:3,
  52                          from base.c:5:
  53         header3.h:1: parse error before ')' token
  54         $
  55
  56    GCC tells you exactly what path of #inclusions led you to the
  57    problem.  It gives you complete information, in a way that the
  58    following would not:
  59
  60         $ gcc -c base.c
  61         header3.h:1: parse error before ')' token
  62         $
  63
  64    Converting all of GDB to use this is a big task, and I'm not really
  65    suggesting it should be a priority.  But this module's whole
  66    purpose is to maintain structures describing the macro expansion
  67    process, so I think it's appropriate for us to take a little care
  68    to do that in a complete fashion.
  69
  70    In this interface, the first line of a file is numbered 1, not 0.
  71    This is the same convention the rest of GDB uses.  */

  74 /* A table of all the macro definitions for a given compilation unit.  */
  75 struct macro_table;
  76
  77
  78 /* A source file that participated in a compilation unit --- either a
  79    main file, or an #included file.  If a file is #included more than
  80    once, the presence of the `included_from' and `included_at_line'
  81    members means that we need to make one instance of this structure
  82    for each #inclusion.  Taken as a group, these structures form a
  83    tree mapping the #inclusions that contributed to the compilation
  84    unit, with the main source file as its root.
  85
  86    Beware --- not every source file mentioned in a compilation unit's
  87    symtab structures will appear in the #inclusion tree!  As of Oct
  88    2002, GCC does record the effect of #line directives in the source
  89    line info, but not in macro info.  This means that GDB's symtabs
  90    (built from the former, among other things) may mention filenames
  91    that the #inclusion tree (built from the latter) doesn't have any
  92    record of.  See macroscope.c:sal_macro_scope for how to accomodate
  93    this.
  94
  95    It's worth noting that libcpp has a simpler way of representing all
  96    this, which we should consider switching to.  It might even be
  97    suitable for ordinary non-macro line number info.
  98
  99    Suppose you take your main source file, and after each line
 100    containing an #include directive you insert the text of the
 101    #included file.  The result is a big file that pretty much
 102    corresponds to the full text the compiler's going to see.  There's
 103    a one-to-one correspondence between lines in the big file and
 104    per-inclusion lines in the source files.  (Obviously, #include
 105    directives that are #if'd out don't count.  And you'll need to
 106    append a newline to any file that doesn't end in one, to avoid
 107    splicing the last #included line with the next line of the
 108    #including file.)
 109
 110    Libcpp calls line numbers in this big imaginary file "logical line
 111    numbers", and has a data structure called a "line map" that can map
 112    logical line numbers onto actual source filenames and line numbers,
 113    and also tell you the chain of #inclusions responsible for any
 114    particular logical line number.  Basically, this means you can pass
 115    around a single line number and some kind of "compilation unit"
 116    object and you get nice, unambiguous source code locations that
 117    distinguish between multiple #inclusions of the same file, etc.
 118
 119    Pretty neat, huh?  */

 161    tables for symtabs, this restriction makes a nice sanity check.
