"""When a frame object is created, the f_lineno will be set to the line
at which the function or class is defined. For modules it will be set to
zero."""
Within this PEP it'd be good for us to be very pedantic. f_lineno is a
single number. So which number is it given many class and function
definition statements can span multiple lines.
Is it the line containing the class or def keyword? Or is it the line
containing the trailing :?
The line of the `def`/`class`. It wouldn't change for the current
behavior. I'll add that to the PEP.
Q: Why can't we have the information about the entire span of lines
rather than consider a definition to be a "line"?
Pretty much every profiler, coverage tool, and debugger ever expects
lines to be natural numbers, not ranges of numbers.
A lot of tooling would need to be changed.
I think that question applies to later sections as well. Anywhere we
refer to a "line", it could actually mean a span of lines. (especially
when you consider \ continuation in situations you might not otherwise
think could span lines)
Let's take an example:
```
x = (
a,
b,
)
```
You would want the BUILD_TUPLE instruction to have a of span lines 1 to
4 (inclusive), rather just line 1?
If you wanted to break on the BUILD_TUPLE where you tell pdb to break?
I don't see that it would add much value, but it would add a lot of
complexity.
Cheers,
Mark.
