Well, you are lucky in that a good chunk of work went on recently into what
was called "Macro History" whose goal is exactly to remember every single
#define/#undef that a macro encountered in the pre-processing of the
translation unit. Therefore, using this macro history, it should be
possible to extract this information.

Unfortunately, I do not know the exact API, Alexander Kornienko initiated
the work on this, so he probably followed it, I have added him in CC so he
can help us figure out exactly where this feature stands.
