error message on wrong line

Hi.
Consider the following:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
printf("Hi!\n");
asdfasdf
return(0);
}
Gcc gives the following error:
$ gcc hi.c
hi.c: In function `main':
hi.c:10: `asdfasdf' undeclared (first use in this function)
hi.c:10: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
hi.c:10: for each function it appears in.)
hi.c:10: parse error before "return"
But the error is on line 6. We have an IDE that invokes gcc, and based on
the error message, we highlight the wrong line. I have briefly looked at
it, and I can see where the "undeclared" error message is happening, but I
have not yet found where the line number is being set wrong.
Anyone? Any help on this is much appreciated.
Thanks.
GP
