At that point, you'll see that the location of the integer literals is a macro instantiation, and can use the source manager to trace it back. It's not trivial, but it's doable.

What would you do if it was not macro and a was declared as a[1*2] ? It seems you are relying on macros to get the info. that is not generally
available in clang.
