Sounds reasonable to me.
How about the appended?

    initialize input_location
    
    This patch initializes input_location at the same spot where the line
    table is initialized.  Without this, it's possible to crash when
    emitting a diagnostic in a reinvocation of the compiler, because
    input_location refers to a location that is no longer valid.
