   I think the short answer is "no there is not an easy way to handle C   
   #defines," it is fairly hard. Easiest is to get an open source   
   preprocessor and use it to convert the C file to preprocessed C. Then use   
   your converter on that.   
      
   I have one that kind of almost works posted on my site that you can look   
   at to see one stab at the problem from a formal parsing approach. I think   
   most real preprocessors are less parsers and more just a program. They do   
   need to be able to parse the C constant expression grammar though.
