Hi,
Generally the language code will make use of it like bison or lemon parser generator tools. it allows to change error message by custom line number.

Code:
#line 50 user.c
by the absence of the file name, current file is taken

GCC for 64 bit Platform

Submitted by GnuMgr8 on Sun, 03/14/2010 - 22:44

When you are using 64 bit version of Linux OS, All the software are by default work in 64 bIt Mode.
In the 64 bit Mode the Integral(integer) part only extended but floating point numbers remains constant more info .
For Ex:
long datatype holds 8 byte. The Data size is defined by Application Binary Interface (ABI),More info http://www.x86-64.org/documentation/abi.pdf

Sample C program:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
 long vLongVar=1;
 
 if(sizeof(vLongVar)==8){
      printf("This is 64 bit Platform");
 }else if( sizeof(vLongVar)==4){
      printf("This is 32 bit Platform");
