Try inserting some errors into mozilla/rdf/base/idl/nsRDFInterfaces.idl. Maybe the comments screw it up or something.

Marking these as ASSIGNED. Pesky bugzilla-daemon.

Setting target milestone and adding shaver@netscape.com.

Apparently header and typelib compilation suffer from this problem. I'm experiencing in in header compilation.

scratch that last posting. it is pertinent to forward delcarations, not line numbers.

Reassigning to mang@subcarrier.org

moving this off to m8. tell me if thats not the right thing to do.

I fixed the problem with line numbering not being updated in comments. I'm working on fixing the problem where an error on the first line gets reported as being on line 0.

Things to note: ----------------- iface foo { }; ----------------- produces: foo.idl:0: `iface' undeclared identifier but ---------- #include "foo ---------- produces: didn't find end of quoted include name "foo at foo.idl:1 So you don't want to use increment by one everywhere. It's possible that libIDL's stuff is zero based when it's stuck in IDL_trees.

Running that code through tstidl produces: foo.idl:1: Error: `iface' undeclared identifier And == #include "foo == Produces: inc.idl:2: Error: Empty file I've been trying to figure out what's different.

libIDL expects the line number to be that of the next line to be processed, so I now initialize the line number to 2 instead of 1.
