I've never had any problems with gdb and #line.  I regularly do things like 
"break cg_arith.tc:294" and it works just fine.  I've never used gcov, so I 
can't comment on that.  You may want to try copying the *.tc files into the 
directory where you are running gcov - it may just be a path issue.  Gdb has 
ways to set the source path, but I don't know how to do it with gcov.

If you need to turn off line numbers temporarily for testing, then modify 
"treecc" to comment out the body of "TreeCCStreamLine".  Turning them off 
permanently would make it impossible for me to debug the compiler, as there 
would be no match-up between the *.tc and *.c lines.

Cheers,

Rhys.
