In docs/compiler_faq.pod:
=head2 How do I embed source locations in my code for debugging?
You can do this using either the C<setfile> and C<setline>
opcodes or with C-like C<#line> comments:
#line 27 "my_source.file"
Simply set the source file name or line number whenever it changes.
But note that currently (Parrot 0.3.0) both are ignored in the lexer.
As of 0.4.6 these still seem to be ignored, but we could start to
use this for various compilers (notably, TGE needs it to resolve
RT #39905).
I'm adding a test for this ticket to t/compilers/imcc/syn/errors.t .
Thanks!
Pm
