The ANSI C standard includes a predefined macro named __LINE__ that can be used to insert the current source code line number in your program. This can be a very valuable macro when it comes to debugging your program and checking for logic errors.

To print the line number we can use "__LINE__" Example: printf (stderr, "error at File: %s , Line: %d)", __FILE__, __LINE__);

Can you assign a different address to an array tag?
Nope, because Array Tag/Name is an alias or name to the first location of the array. It doesn't have any memory of its own (pointers do have their own memory).
