It is possible to use more than one '''#line''' keywords, but it seems having just one at the top for little script is enough to pinpoint position of the error easily.

The main difference between preprocessFile and preprocessFileLineNumbers is that the latter adds #line keyword to the target file, which allows to log the __LINE__ error happened at and the __FILE__ error happened in. PreprocessFile.jpg

The #line directive get's removed from the output.
So to add a custom #line directive before while using preprocessFileLineNumbers, you have to use a preprocessor macro like this:
#define DEBUG(sharp,name) sharp##line 0 name
and add this at the right place in your code
DEBUG(#,"your filename"); This way you can have custom filenames in error messages.
