ASTRewrite and Preprocessor Macros [message #1081697]

I received the following exception whilst using ASTRewrite class to change a preprocessor statement:

"Rewriting preprocessor statements is not yet supported"

I am currently targeting Eclipse Helios with CDT 7.0.2 as the lowest version to support for the plugin I am developing. I would like to know when, if at all, the ability to replace preprocessor statements was supported, and what the lowest version of Eclipse would be needed?

I am trying to decide between simply moving up the lowest version to support, vs falling back to text-based processing to change the #defines. In either case, I want to make sure the index is aware of the change because of heavy dependence on it.

Has this been implemented yet in any version of CDT?

I took a look at the latest version on GIT and I see the same throws statement. I am therefore going to presume it is something that is not supported and won't be in the near future, in which case I will rely on text edits to an IDocument over using the Refactoring API.
