Important design points include: In practice, the ``SourceLocation`` works together with the ``SourceManager`` class to encode two pieces of information about a location: its spelling -location and its instantiation location. For most tokens, these will be the +location and its expansion location. For most tokens, these will be the same. However, for a macro expansion (or tokens that came from a ``_Pragma`` directive) these will describe the location of the characters corresponding to the token and the location where the token was used (i.e., the macro -instantiation point or the location of the ``_Pragma`` itself). +expansion point or the location of the ``_Pragma`` itself). The Clang front-end inherently depends on the location of a token being tracked correctly. If it is ever incorrect, the front-end may get confused and die. |
