The function calling the pre_post_update hook appears on line 1525 of wp-includes / posts.php for me:
do_action( 'pre_post_update', $post_ID );
As you can see, it passes the identifier of the message updated when it is executed. To get a message from there, you simply call get_post(), for example:
function do_something_with_a_post($post_id, $post_data) {
}
add_action('pre_post_update', 'do_something_with_a_post', 10, 2);
$post , , .
