Back in the dark days when I used Eclipse for C++ development one of the features of the editor that I still miss was the ability to mouse over a C/C++ macro and the popup would show the fully expanded macro. This was handy in a few situations when trying to debug the macro or just see what the expanded code looks like. This is especially useful for deeply nested macros.

Qt Creator does that (for me). Though the code is not nicely formatted, so there is room for improvement.
