Thanks to waterson for this suggestion - xpidl should use #line, #file directives for %{ blocks. Maybe not for generated .h proper, as xpidl will munge the original .idl arbitrarily in creating the generated .h. But %{ blocks come directly from the .idl file, so we might as well point compilers and debuggers to the correct place.

What's the format for these under our various compilers? GCC expects: #line <linenum> "/path/to/file.idl"

I've mostly got this working - diff attached. One open question: I currently just put a filename in the #line directive without any path information. What path information is correct? Is it needed for debuggers to be happy? Can it be made to work with our build system, copying headers on win32, etc?

[SPAM] Marking milestone 'future' as part of nsbeta3 triage.

Mass-reassigning mccabe's non-JS, non-Rhino bugs to jband (34 total). Would like to cc mccabe; but the mass-reassign page does not allow this. I'll leave it up to mccabe to decide if he wants to be cc'ed on these -

mass reassign of xpidl bugs to dbradley@netscape.com

I'm not interested in taking a patch for this, especially since it's most useful for %{C++ blocks which are uncommon.
