GNAT has built-in functions which return this information.  When they 
are used in default argument expressions and these arguments are 
omitted, the functions are evaluated in the context of the caller and 
return the file position at that point.  Perhaps that would be an 
approach for C++ as well?

(This assumes that gather-detailed-mem-stats is not needed in the first 
stage compiler.)
