With the SourceRange change from your follow-up e-mail, yes.

> With the three types of pragma supported (#pragma, _Pragma and __Pragma) their locations only appear available when the preprocessor first discovers the token (HandleDirective, Handle_Pragma and HandleMicrosoft__pragma respectively), and is lost by the time HandlePragmaDirective is called so it's probably best to pass the location from those places to HandlePragmaDirective and onwards.

I could use the getLocWithOffset(-1) method, or catch it at the start of the HandleDirective method, which do you think is best?

Please catch it at the start of HandleDirective and pass it down.

Yes, please!

Yes, this sounds perfectly reasonable. Thanks for looking into it!
