Description Gavin Barraclough 2010-09-27 16:41:42 PDT 
Maybe a special comment, something like:

<!-- line=myfile.js:20 >

To set the reported filename / line number in the inspector.  This could be particularly useful when debugging large source files, composed from a concatenation of smaller ones.

Why would you use a HTML comment in a JS file? ;)
Comment 2 Gavin Barraclough 2010-09-27 16:49:19 PDT 
This is a valid comment format in ECMAscript. :-(
Comment 3 Timothy Hatcher 2010-09-27 16:59:20 PDT 
Interesting… never knew.

Closing as invalid, as this bug pertains to the old inspector UI and/or its tests.
Please file a new bug (https://www.webkit.org/new-inspector-bug) if the bug/feature/issue is still relevant to WebKit trunk.
