[Bug debug/27672] New: C frontend does not generate line information for multi-line conditions

[drow at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Compile something like this with debugging information:

  if (func1 ()
      || func2 ()
      || func3 ())

Set a breakpoint on func1, and then use GDB's "finish" command to leave the
function.  You'll be back on the first line of the if.  Same if you finish from
func2.  Nothing in the process of parsing a conditional expression sets
expression locations for individual parts of the expression.

We do set a line number on the outer compound expression, and that points at
the beginning.  It would be strange to single-step onto the conditional jump
instruction and be taken back to the top of the "if".  So this may not be a
straightforward fix.
