The question, of course, is: macro constants are only a small portion of
the macro's that are defined in header files. What should such a pre-processor
do with all the macro functions that can go several levels deep and imbed a
lot of function call's ?
A tool like c2ada seems to be a much more useful solution.
As for constant definition conversion, I usualy do this with a simple
editor macro.
