Right.

In the example I used in the comment of that function, suppose that
during 'stepping out', as you put it, we don't deal with the place in
the source where '<<' appears in the definition of a macro. We'd then
only deal with the expansion points of the macros involved. That
would mean that we would only record in the trace the following
locations (and be able to only display this trace):
1/
test.c:5:14: error: invalid operands to binary << (have 'double' and 'int')
test.c:5:3: note: expanded from here
test.c:8:3: note: expanded from here
test.c:13:3: note: expanded from here
But I also want to display where "<<" appears in the definition of the
relevant macro ...

... so that I can have a trace that shows the locations also in the
context of the definitions of the macros:
2/
test.c:5:14: error: invalid operands to binary << (have 'double' and 'int')
test.c:2:9: note: in expansion of macro 'OPERATE'
test.c:5:3: note: expanded from here
test.c:5:14: note: in expansion of macro 'SHIFTL'
test.c:8:3: note: expanded from here
test.c:8:3: note: in expansion of macro 'MULT2'
test.c:13:3: note: expanded from here

This is essentially what we do, for tokens of macro replacement list
that are not macro parameters.
In a function-like macro, tokens of macro parameters are replaced by
the tokens of the arguments; if we just store the spelling location of
a given parameter (and forget about the location of the matching
argument as you are suggesting), getting the location of that argument
at virtual location resolution time can be difficult.
In your example, suppose we didn't store the location of "<<" inside
the map for OPERATE, and that we only stored the location (2:9) of
OPRT, as you suggest. How, to generate the trace, would we step out
to get the location (5:14) (of "<<") from that (2:9)? For that, I
guess we'd need to store the locations of the arguments of OPERATE,
somehow, figure out that OPRT is the parameter for the argument "<<"
and act from there. This is the argument replacement replay I talked
about in another thread when you first raised this point. We'd need
to do some parts of what replace_args does and handle cases like
pasting etc. Tom and I figured this would be a bit more difficult so
we preferred staying with this simpler scheme for now. The simpler
scheme being to store the location of the argument "<<" and the
location of the parameter OPRT in the map.
