[cfe-dev] Getting preprocessed contents of a macro expansion in libclang

[Kevin Funk]

Hey there,

I'm currently working on implementing proper tooltips for macro definitions 
and expansions in KDevelop. There, I'd like to show both the macro definition 
body and (if hovering a macro expansion) the expanded macro body.

I can easily retrieve the body for macro definitions using clang_tokenize on 
the definition's extent, but that won't work for macro *expansions*, because I 
only get the token stream *before* the preprocessing happened.

So, am I completely missing something or is this feature just not exposed in 
libclang? If not exposed, can someone point me to the correct location in the 
C++ API where to retrieve that information?

Thanks!
