Re: Getting the current line number

No, but you might be able to run your sml code through the C 
preprocessor
to get that information.  I don't know it any SML implementation 
provides
this feature, but it might be a useful thing to standardize on (also
__FILE__).

After thinking about it a bit more, I realized that the following hack
would work.  First, define the following helper function

fun file_line ex = let
	  val [s] = SMLofNJ.exnHistory ex
       val (f, r) = Substring.splitl (fn #":" => false | _ => true) 
(Substring.full s)
       val ln = Substring.takel (fn #"." => false | _ => true) 
(Substring.triml 1 r)
       in
         {file = Substring.string f, line = Substring.string ln}
       end;

then you can get the file and line info at a given source code location
by embedding the following code:

file_line ((raise Fail "") handle ex => ex);
