My specific use case is the Ruby files that are templated in Prism, but I also believe it would be beneficial for ERB. The functionality I'm looking for effectively mirrors the `#line` macro in C. The goal would be for this to be entirely statically analyzable, so whatever syntax ends up being used would have to be required to be constant. A couple of options for this would be: * An entirely new syntax construct (`__SOURCE__ 5 "foo.erb"`) * Re-using existing syntax constructs (`__LINE__ = 5; __FILE__ = "foo.erb"`) * A magic comment (`# -*- source-line: 5; source-file: foo.erb -*-` or `# source: 5 foo.erb`) I don't particularly care which one is selected, it's just the end-result that I'm looking for that we can mark the source line and file within the generated code. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ ______________________________________________ ruby-core mailing list -- ruby-core@ml.ruby-lang.org To unsubscribe send an email to ruby-core-leave@ml.ruby-lang.org ruby-core info -- https://ml.ruby-lang.org/mailman3/lists/ruby-core.ml.ruby-lang.org/
