[M3devel] stubgen problem with m3-tools\m3tk\src\toolmisc\M3Error.m3 line 214

[Rodney M. Bates]

Hmm, I checked in a change to the head on 2011-4-26 that could lie right on
this backtrace.  It is in M3CExpValue.Eval, and contains a call on M3Error.Report.
There are several other calls in M3CExpValue.Eval to M3Error.Report, not involving
my change.  Simple proportioning between hex displacements and source line counts
suggests it is the call in the change.

But it is hard to image how my change could do anything but reduce the set of
cases where this call is executed, and any such cases remaining sould have been
with the same values of all variables, compared to before.

Moreover, this or any of the calls in Eval on Report would have been producing
error messages before the change.  I presume there were no such error messages
formerly?

Are there any LONGINT literals in the code stubgen is being run on?  The change
only weakens an overzealous error check for them.
