And I edit x.h, how does it know the original source file which

I don't understand why that should be so difficult...
Why can't the IDE just scan all the #include dependencies in an internal
database, and update them accordingly?
a.c:
#define A
#include "x.h"
b.c:
#include "x.h"
Now, depending on whether you are editing x.h in terms of a.c or b.c, the
#ifdef is active or not. The IDE will be wrong no matter what choice it
makes.
This is why I like how external definitions and imports cannot affect D
modules.
