Well, actually PUMA is suitable for such a task. But there is no 
up-to-date documentation, sorry. You may take a look into the sources of 
AspectC++ that is based on PUMA. But it doesn't perform such 
manipulations. A *really* outdated documentation is available at 
http://www-ivs.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~puma/docu-eng.html.

Best regards,
Matthias
