Not always. Consider debug info that includes "line number" and "statement number". You could have multiple statements per line, or multiple lines per statement. > Actually the example notation looks quite different from what other > people are suggesting, so let me rephrase it as: > > .hll_debug_begin HLL "perl5" > .hll_debug_begin copyright "Fred"... I much prefer your previous, more compact, example syntax. > .hll_debug_end line > .hll_debug_begin line 2 I don't think the "end" directives add much. There's almost always going to be an "end line" before a "begin line", so why not let 'begin line' to imply the end of any previously-declared line? Regards, Roger Browne
