- Method Detail
  - getMacroDefinition
```
IASTPreprocessorMacroDefinition getMacroDefinition()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    The macro definition used for the expansion
  - getMacroReference
```
IASTName getMacroReference()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    The macro reference for the explicit macro expansion containing this expansion.
    
    Since:
    
    5.0
  - getNodeOffset
```
int getNodeOffset()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Returns an offset within the macro-expansion. The offset can be used to compare nodes within the same macro-expansion. However, it does not serve as an offset into a file.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getNodeOffset in interface IASTNodeLocation
  - getNodeLength
```
int getNodeLength()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Returns the length of this location. The length can be used to compare this location with others from within the same macro-expansion. However, the length does not neccessarily relate to a length in terms of characters.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getNodeLength in interface IASTNodeLocation
  - getExpansionLocations
```
@Deprecated
IASTNodeLocation[] getExpansionLocations()
```
    Deprecated.
    use IASTNodeLocation.asFileLocation().
    
    The source locations for for the macro expansion. These are the locations where the expansion in question occurred and was replaced.
