  46    macro invocation, return the result of expanding that invocation as
  47    a null-terminated string, and set *LEXPTR to the next character
  48    after the invocation.  The result is completely expanded; it
  49    contains no further macro invocations.
  50
  51    Otherwise, if *LEXPTR does not start with a macro invocation,
  52    return nullptr, and leave *LEXPTR unchanged.

  56    If this function returns a string, the caller is responsible for
  57    freeing it, using xfree.
  58
  59    We need this expand-one-token-at-a-time interface in order to
  60    accomodate GDB's C expression parser, which may not consume the
  61    entire string.  When the user enters a command like
  62
  63       (gdb) break *func+20 if x == 5
  64
  65    the parser is expected to consume `func+20', and then stop when it
  66    sees the "if".  But of course, "if" appearing in a character string
  67    or as part of a larger identifier doesn't count.  So you pretty
  68    much have to do tokenization to find the end of the string that
  69    needs to be macro-expanded.  Our C/C++ tokenizer isn't really
  70    designed to be called by anything but the yacc parser engine.  */
