Description:
------------
I've noticed some AST nodes (arrays, ++, yield, etc.) may have the wrong line numbers. Here's an example PHP code:

1: <?php
2: yield
3: 
4: // gap
5: 
6: function() { yield; };

PHP 7.0.0beta3 will report:

Fatal error: The "yield" expression can only be used inside a function in wrong-line-number.php on line 6

That message is wrong. The yield on line 6 is correct. The fatal error is actually on line 2.

We can see the AST has the wrong line number. Here's the output from php-ast.

AST_STMT_LIST @ 1
    0: AST_YIELD @ 6
        0: AST_CLOSURE @ 6-6
            flags: 0
            name: {closure}
            0: AST_PARAM_LIST @ 6
            1: null
            2: AST_STMT_LIST @ 6
                0: AST_YIELD @ 6
                    0: null
                    1: null
            3: null
        1: null

The first AST_YIELD has the line number 6. After quick inspection, I see the parser often delay the construction of AST node and capture the line number after parsing 1~2 tokens, which may be a line or more below the actual beginning of the AST node.

The consequences are incorrect line numbers from runtime errors.


Test script:
---------------
<?php
yield

// gap

function() { yield; };


Expected result:
----------------
Fatal error: The "yield" expression can only be used inside a function in wrong-line-number.php on line 2

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: The "yield" expression can only be used inside a function in wrong-line-number.php on line 6

This would be fixed by using bison location tracking.
