ABSTRACT:
Software development tools, such as a static analyzer, debugger or source browser, incorporates techniques to process macro expansions and provide display of macro expansion information, so as to facilitate program analysis and debugging during the development process. The tool processes macro expansions during a build of a programming project's source files, and collects and records the macro expansion information into an output file or database. The tool then utilizes the recorded information to provide a display of the macro expansions in a graphical user interface of the tool, such as for source browsing or viewing static analysis.
