1) Change `size_t line` to `int line`. The line is already 32 bits under the covers (and I don't see the need to change that). The only issue might be code breakage.
Not might, will. All exception derivatives call super(msg, file, line), which won't work if your exception defines its ctor with size_t line = __LINE__.
2) Make __LINE__ 16-bit for 16-bit targets. I don't think this option makes much sense.
Agree.
3) Create a line_t type (in object.d?). Make it 32-bit for 16- and 32-bit targets, and 64-bit for 64-bit targets. That's for avoiding breakage, not because >4 B lines is actually needed, IMO.
Only sensible option at this point. And I agree it should be done. -Steve
