I wanted to share with you something I've found very useful for tracing/debugging macro metaprograms: the Eclipse CDT IDE has a "macro stepper" that allows you to step through the expansion of a macro step-by-step from the initial invocation to the final expansion. (This feature can be accessed by using the "Explore Macro Expansion" context menu item on a macro invocation.)
This seems very nice, and probably can help especially when debugging deferred expressions. However, will it show when a macro is painted blue? That is really important to knowing why it didn't expand.
Unfortunately it does not show that. That would be a nice addition. Regards, Nate
