In Xcode 3.0, my Message Bubbles (warnings and errors), error

brackets. But that's not the trouble.
In the debugger, off-by-lines errors occur when a source file has
inconsistent line endings (\n for some lines, \r\n for others, maybe
\r for others still) from being exposed to editors on more than one
platform. The errors you see may have the same cause.
Try opening an Info window on a problem file and explicitly setting
the line endings. (I believe this will work with inconsistent
files.) See if that corrects the off-by-lines problems.

I suffer from this problem too. It amazes me that this problem, which
has been around forever, still plagues development environments and
editors in general. On the plus side, at least Xcode (gcc) can compile
the sources; the Microsoft compiler refuses to even compile files with
Mac line endings.
Can't this just get fixed?
