I would like to press some key or to click somewhere and see then how the preprocessor would edit my source file. Sure that`s no good idea for the include command, but for others like define and ifdef.

Just to run the preprocessor isn`t a big deal. Compilers and even Visual Studio support that already. All missing is a nice to use interface and graphical view.

Also a different coloring of the preprocessor`ed things would be nice, but I guess to do this would be a much bigger request. And to see the macro as comment also somewhere in 'preprocessor` ed view' is also a nice to imagine feature but even more complicated.

The basic problem here is that doing this properly requires "compiling" the code, plus a full knowledge of current pre-processor settings, to handle all of the conditional statements.

Really this is something you need to ask the compiler to do, rather than VA.
