--- Comment #27 from Max TenEyck Woodbury <mtewoodbury at gmail dot com> ---
The existence of examples in older programming literature indicates that the
proposed interpretation where #line __LINE__ did not change subsequent line
numbers was considered useful. I have found this very useful myself.
The conclusion that this is not a "BUG" is correct, but it it is a useful
feature and it would make GCC easier to use. GCC specifies the unspecified in
many places and it could do so here. It is actually fairly easy to implement
as the patch I submitted to patches-gcc shows.
