Is there a way to automatically "lift" function-like macros to real inline functions?

Question

I'm assigned to review and renew an old private library, which contains tons of do { .. } while(0) macros.

After some investigations, I decided to replace them with static inline functions. After some manual works, I soon found this process kind of tedious and no-brain, which made me wonder if there is a way to do the "lifting" automatically.

I did not find an existing solution. However, there is a project on the reverse direction: https://github.com/akiradeveloper/macro-of-inline.

I was wondering if there is already an existing solution which I'm not aware of, or is it possible to build such a "lifting" tool.

Apparently this answer need to be updated for certain missing details that's not obvious at the moment.

I think this can be done by replacing the following in the code editor:

• #define -> static inline return_type_t
• do -> delete this
• while(0) -> delete this

Also, all macro parameters need to have types added to them.
