Question

I would like to access preprocessor macro definitions using GDB's embedded Python interpreter. Is there a Python macro API for GDB?

in GDB you can do:

gdb> info macro MACRO

But there is no mention of a Python API for macro's in the documentation.

Also I came across a few messages about development of a Python macro API.

It mentions a py-macro.c file. But it is nowhere to be found in the current gdb source code.

It doesn't appear that the patches have ever been approved or committed, so you are out of luck.

You can of course try to apply the patches to current GDB, or even GDB current as of the time patches were sent.
