File "f.h" is empty.
Command "du f.h" print "0 f.h".

Content of file "f.c":

#include "f.h"//xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
void f(int const*const*const p){(void)p;}
int main(){int**p=0;
f(p);return 0;}

Command "gcc -g f.c" print following:

f.c: In function ‘main’:
f.c:3:3: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘f’ from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
    3 | int main(){int**p=0;
      |   ^
      |   |
      |   int **
f.c:1:30: note: expected ‘const int * const* const’ but argument is of type ‘int **’
    1 | #include "f.h"//xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
      |        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

As you can see, output of "gcc" is invalid.
Executable contain invalid line numbers.
"gdb" will read invalid line numbers from executable.

Run "gdb ./a.out". "gdb" will print following:

Reading symbols from ./a.out...

Type "break main". "gdb" will print following:

Breakpoint 1 at 0x1144: file f.c, line 2.

Line 2 of file "f.c" does not contain function "main".
2 - is invalid line number.
Step by step debugging not possible.

The reason is long comment at line 1 of file "f.c".

Line 1 contain 445 'x'.
strlen( "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" ) is 445.
Remove one 'x' from line 1.
Now line 1 contain 444 'x'.

Content of modified file "f.c":

#include "f.h"//xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
void f(int const*const*const p){(void)p;}
int main(){int**p=0;
f(p);return 0;}

"gcc -g f.c" print folllowing:

f.c: In function ‘main’:
f.c:4:3: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘f’ from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
    4 | f(p);return 0;}
      |   ^
      |   |
      |   int **
f.c:2:30: note: expected ‘const int * const* const’ but argument is of type ‘int **’
    2 | void f(int const*const*const p){(void)p;}
      |        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

Line numbers correct.

Run "gdb ./a.out". "gdb" will print following:

Reading symbols from ./a.out...

Type "break main". "gdb" will pring following:

Breakpoint 1 at 0x1144: file f.c, line 3.

3 - is correct line number.
