[antlr-interest] How to intersperse #line directives into expressions and statements?

[Stephen Siegel]

I'm working on an ANTLR-based C preprocessor/parser/tree.   All in Java.  It keeps track of the origin of every token (in addition to file, line number, and character index, the history of the token through macro expansions and #include directives).   This information will all be accessible through the AST.  At this point, the preprocessor is basically working.  If you or anyone else is interested in checking it out or contributing to its development, drop me a line.
