I don't think it does, but Dave Abrahams asked me to get your attention
by mentioning the preprocessor library:

http://www.gccxml.org/pipermail/gccxml/2006-January/000698.html

I think my post on the gccxml list used slightly confusing wording and
Dave thought this required only preprocessor parsing work-arounds.
However, I wasn't sure if he was implying that you were the right person
to make all the changes.  Sorry for the confusion.

Great, thanks.
