The reason the line number sometimes appears off is because it uses the "current" line when the object is created. Usually the object is created by unmarshalling a start tag, and because the parser scans the whole start tag (attributes and all) at once you'll get the line number for the end of the start tag rather than the beginning of the start tag. For a simple start tag that's not a problem (though it does mean the column number looks off), but if the start tag spans multiple lines the line number will also appear off.
I could cache the line and column values, so that I'd have the line and column matching the actual start of the start tag. The only reason I haven't done that is because it'd be a minor (probably very minor) performance hit to do this, and I hate doing anything to slow down the runtime. Hmmm. JiBX uses this itself for the binding definitions (and schema definitions and customization files, for 1.2), and it is probably confusing to people that the reported line number doesn't always match the actual line number. Perhaps I should go to caching for 1.2. What do the other people using track-source think? - Dennis Dennis M.
