Source Locations
================
.. class:: gccjit::location
A `gccjit::location` encapsulates a source code location, so that
you can (optionally) associate locations in your language with
statements in the JIT-compiled code, allowing the debugger to
single-step through your language.
`gccjit::location` instances are optional: you can always omit them
from any C++ API entrypoint accepting one.
You can construct them using :func:`gccjit::context::new_location`.
You need to enable :c:macro:`GCC_JIT_BOOL_OPTION_DEBUGINFO` on the
:class:`gccjit::context` for these locations to actually be usable by
the debugger:
.. code-block:: cpp
ctxt.set_bool_option (GCC_JIT_BOOL_OPTION_DEBUGINFO, 1);
.. function:: gccjit::location \
gccjit::context::new_location (const char *filename, \
int line, \
int column)
Create a `gccjit::location` instance representing the given source
location.
Faking it
---------
If you don't have source code for your internal representation, but need
to debug, you can generate a C-like representation of the functions in
your context using :func:`gccjit::context::dump_to_file()`:
.. code-block:: cpp
ctxt.dump_to_file ("/tmp/something.c",
1 /* update_locations */);
This will dump C-like code to the given path. If the `update_locations`
argument is true, this will also set up `gccjit::location` information
throughout the context, pointing at the dump file as if it were a source
file, giving you *something* you can step through in the debugger.
