Either way works for me -- PCT can generate either without much difficulty. It probably makes more sense to have separate .file and .line directives. In particular, I wouldn't want to be repeating the .file annotation information throughout the bytecode! :-) Just a reminder that the central issue for PCT and other HLL's is that the current #line, setline, setfile, etc. instructions are currently intimately tied to lines of PIR source (RT #43269), and they probably shouldn't be. I agree that I don't see a strong need for setting file and line number dynamically -- at least not at this stage. Thanks! Pm
