Would it work for you if this information was placed in an xml file next to the generated code?

When generating code, can you add in source-grammar-line/col-matchup comments a bit more often? in particular, having them appear just before any action code that's dropped into the generated code would be cool. Even better: if the comments could also appear before/after attribute expansion that would help as well. My goal is to be able to use the target-language debugger and map the current code position back to the grammar. This allows walking the grammar while being able to use all of the features of the target-language debugger (like inspecting variables and such). I know how to set this up for Java (I did it in ANTLR 2 using Java SMAPs and it worked well), and I suspect other target languages could do something similar with a bit more information.
