As of Oct + 2002, GCC does record the effect of #line directives in the source + line info, but not in macro info. This means that GDB's symtabs + (built from the former, among other things) may mention filenames + that the #inclusion tree (built from the latter) doesn't have any + record of.

It might even be suitable for ordinary non-macro line number info. |
