I believe that dbx and gdb will both understand the directive:

# 1 "file.c"

and display file.c line 23, so that bit should be okay.  You only have
to use the filename when it changes, and only have to use the # n
directive when there are extra lines.

To see an example of what these things look like take a look at the
preprocessor output:

% gcc -E file.c
