Well, it won't give you a proper line number for an error that's somewhere within a single range of \-escaped <br>newlines, but I reinsert the "stolen" newlines at the earliest possible moment. This ensures that line numbers<br>
in error messages are correct w.r.t. the start of a logical line.<br><br>-W<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 6 December 2010 21:00, Michael Neale <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:michael.neale@gmail.com">michael.neale@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>I have experimentally inserted a transformation of the DSL text (in DSLTokenizedMappingFile)<br>
which converts '\'+EOL on the fly to a space. (The passed-in reader is read into a buffer, '\'+EOL<br>
is translated to space, and EOLs are inserted later to readjust the line number.) In a text editor,<br>I can now write, e.g.,<br><br>then][][Bb]ook the customer for the flight=\<br> $f.setAvailable( $f.getAvailable() - 1 );\<br>
update( $f ); \<br> Booking booking = new Booking(); \<br> booking.setCustomer( $r.getCustomer() ); \<br> booking.setFlight( $f ); \<br> insert( booking );<br><br>
Of course, the DSL editor will not preserve this, but future development might provide more<br>
convenient editing there, too.<br><br>Any objections?<br><font color="#888888">-W<br>
