[Swig-devel] Line number infelicities

[Olly B. <ol...@su...>]

I've noticed some cases where the line numbers SWIG reports in
diagnostics are incorrect.  However, I can't follow the code in the
parser which handles line numbers so I'm trying to produce a small
testcase to help someone else.  If it's a known problem let me know and
I'll stop trying - I couldn't see it in the bug or patch tracker though.

But en route, I found another line number related oddity.  Process this
with CVS swig using "swig -python lineno.i":

%module lineno
syntax error!

And you get:

lineno.i:2: Error: Syntax error in input(1).
lineno.i:6: Error: Missing semicolon. Reached end of input.

The second error message claims to be at line 6, but the file only
has 2 lines!

Cheers,
