Can some wizard out there give me some idea as to how the information re
source file names and line numbers is passed to dbx, that is, at a given
point in code execution, how it knows the current source position.  I have
dumped object files and have listed intermediate assembly language files, 
have stared at them until I am blue in the face, and am still puzzled.

The (mandatory) thanks in advance.
