Re: [help-texinfo] line offset strangeness in info index

[Karl Berry]

Hi Robert,

    appears that (unit separator) + (n - 1) lines is one line too much

You mean that the index entry should be:

* quad_qaws:                             Definitions for QUADPACK.
                                                             (line  484)

instead of 485?  Sounds like an off-by-one bug to me :).  Perhaps the
answer is simply to move the index-generating code in defun_internal in
makeinfo/cmds.c to before the "-- functionname" generation.  Or
somewhere in there.  Unfortunately I can't experiment right now, but
please feel free to give it a try if you care to, that would be helpful.

Thanks,
Karl
