Then you have 2 versions of the source code right? I personally would have a very difficult time trying to manage both branches and I guarantee I would make errors all the time where I typed into the wrong file and lost data. The compiler needs to be aware of the insertions so that it can offset the line numbers properly. Please correct me if I’m wrong though.
