You mean like how C compiles to assembly?
- pcwalton 10y agoThat's not a good analogy, because C doesn't just compile to assembly in any modern compiler. It compiles to assembly plus DWARF, which is an extremely expressive metalanguage (far beyond #line) for describing the mapping from the generated code back to the source. C has no mechanism for inserting raw DWARF DIEs, while assembly does.
