#480 get current line number during source command execution
During the execution of a user / registered command I need to report about an issue (which is not an error) and provide the script file name and line number if the command is inside a script file. The Tcl_Interp errorLine member variable is updated only if the command returns TCL_ERROR code, otherwise I can't see any way to find out the current line number.

Is TIP #280 (http://tip.tcl.tk/280) what you are after ?
If yes, then you have this in Tcl 8.5, and in Activestate's ActiveTcl 8.4.

Thanks Andreas. Yes, this is what I need, but I need to get the line number information from C. I guess I will be able to get this after looking at the Tcl source code... We are still using Tcl 8.4 so looks like we need to use Tcl 8.5 in order to access this functionality.

Tcl_Eval ("info frame") and similar code.

Looks like this is available in 8.5, but a C API to get this info would be nice to have.
