<p>For C codegen they are there so that any problems that spill back into the generated code can be reported properly. Rare, given that it's a code generator, but useful when you're doing ragel development. Also, there can be environmental factors that trigger a problem in the generated code, such as a define.</p>
<p>I don't know GO well enough to say that's important there as well.</p>

<div>What is the meaning and intended usage of `//line filename.go` directives in the Go code generated by ragel? I understand that '//line filename.rl' references can help to trace back the origin of the statements, but don't yet see the significance or intended usage of the .go file references.</div>

<div>-L directive is applicable only to C/D/Ruby/C#/OCaml - I wonder if it would be difficult to enable it for Go as well? The '//line' directives seem to confuse the `go test -cover` command into producing invalid data (and then an internal error like "cover: inconsistent NumStmt: changed from 3 to 2"). I am using ragel version 6.10 (on a Mac).</div>

<div>The workaround I'm using is removing the `//line` lines from the generated .go file:</div>
<div>sed -i '' /^\/\/line\.*/d filename.go</div>

<div>Many thanks,</div>
