C++ compiler prints wrong line number in error message for the last identifier in line in
multiline expression.

Example:
int function()
{
return a + b
+ c;
}

where all identifiers are undefined, compiler prints:

source.cpp(4): error C2065: 'b' : undeclared identifier
source.cpp(4): error C2065: 'c' : undeclared identifier

but "b" and "c" are placed on different lines.

2. Add new item - C++ file (.cpp)
3. Fill it with following:
