ANSI C defines two pre-processor variables which you should find helpful. 
The first is "__LINE__", which is expanded into the current line number in
the file.  The second is "__FILE__" which expands into the current
filename in a quoted string.  Unfortunately, the behavior of __LINE__ was
defined as ``implementation specific'' (i.e. non-standard), but I believe
GCC does what you expect.
