There is no easy way to get the info you want from the preprocessor.  It 
doesn't work that way.

You can use -E -dM to get a list of macro defined.  This will include 
system and compiler defined macros.  The macros will be expanded, but 
not evaluated, so you will have to manually perform some arithmetic to 
get the numbers you want.

Simpler might be to write a simple C file that prints out the macro 
values you want.
