Emacs does not display a native line number on the last line of the buffer unless there is something there in addition to the cursor.

What would be a good approach to modifying the C code to draw a line number at the end of the buffer when it is an empty line.

disable_line_numbers_overlay_at_eob in should_produce_line_number seems like the cause of this behavior that I wish to change.

Thanks,

Keith

This is a feature: "the last line" is not actually a line, there's no
character there.
