[cfe-dev] Implementing __builtin_LINE(x) using a clang plugin

[Blaise Tine via cfe-dev]

Hi all,
I have  C++ DSL that defines its own primitive types and operators and I want to provide some debugging facilities during compilation to display the source location (filename, line number) for uninitialized DSL objects.To capture the source line information for a given DSL object, I'm using __builtin_LINE(x) inside the class constructor, where 'x' is the function nesting depth (see below).I would like to implement this functionality using a clang plugging such that the feature is automatically used during compilation.I don't know if this is feasible with the current Clang plugin API.I was wondering someone has some experience with the plugin and how this can be done.Thank you so much.
eg: DSLObject  myobj;

--------------------------
class DSLObject {public:    DSLObject() {        lineno_ = __builtin_LINE(1);
    }private:    int lineno_;
};
