I'm not sure I understand what you mean.  I was talking about
completing on macro _names_, not trhe results of their _expansion_.
That is, if I type "print regnum < NUM_" and hit TAB, I'd expect to
see NUM_REGS and NUM_PSEUDO_REGS as possible completions.  But I
don't care about the values these two expand to.

So this kind of completion does not depend on the location in the
source files, only on the macros recorded in the debug info.

Am I missing something?
