A tool that can completely work with C/C++ preprocessing would be
enough for my use case.
The most promising approach seems to be the free Wave class library at
the moment.

I try to be careful with such details because regex engines exist that
do not support more than 9 groups and back-references. There are
remarkable differences in the technical limitations of the various
flavours.

How much does the preprocessor still belong to C++? ;-)
