[Bug gjdoc/22738] New: Missing line number

[julian at sektor37 dot de]

When getting a warning its somtimes hard to get the real line causing it. It 
would be nice to get the line number when a warning is printed.

I think this was originally reported by Michael Koch (unfortunately submitter
information is lost).

Most warning messages are generated during the class resolution process.  It
would be inconvenient to add line numbers to this kind of warnings since classes
are usually referenced from many places and, for proper reporting, gjdoc would
need to track all places where any class is referenced.  This would be a chore
to implement and it would increase memory requirements significantly.  

Therefore, I don't plan to add line numbers to class resolution warnings for the
time being.

If the warnings you expect a line number for are not related to class
resolution, please file a more specific report.

Anyway, thanks for raising the issue.  I agree that it would be a nice feature
if the overhead incurred by it was reasonable, which unfortunately it is not.
