The solution to too many macros is always MOAR MACROS!

This is valid:

PETSC_EXTERN PetscErrorCode PetscFunctionListAdd(PetscFunctionList*,const char[],void (*)(void));

#define PetscFunctionListAdd(list,name,fptr) PetscFunctionListAdd((list),(name),(PetscVoidFunction)(fptr))

off in the implementation:

#undef PetscFunctionListAdd

PETSC_EXTERN PetscErrorCode PetscFunctionListAdd(PetscFunctionList *fl,const char name[],void (*fnc)(void))

{

...

}

This would make the debugging thing work, at the expense of being slightly more confusing to the reader. But maybe comments would be enough to explain what's going on?
