You can get the beginning of the declaration only.

Every declaration has "location" property
http://www.language-binding.net/pygccxml/apidocs/pygccxml.declarations.declaration.declaration_t-class.html
, which provide you access to full file name and line (
http://www.language-binding.net/pygccxml/apidocs/pygccxml.declarations.declaration.location_t-class.html
) as reported by GCC-XML.

No. A patch is welcome :-)
