....software that can be configured in di#erent ways after delivery. This is an important distinction from the usual SCM philosophy, which builds a separate, fixed system for each configuration. Jezequel has proposed reifying variants and controlling them from within the implementation language itself [23, 24]. This could also be compared to the classic preprocessor approach to variants often seen in C and C . In this approach, sections of program code are conditionally compiled depending on the set of preprocessor symbols which are defined. The following example, which compiles two di#erent versions ....

....from current trends towards higher level systems to provide a new environment that allows for the design, implementation, and maintenance of software with fewer level shifting context switches for the developer. Many developers shy away from using SCM tools because they consider them daunting [23], yet the need for good configuration management grows stronger as software becomes increasingly complex [32] Reducing the slope of the learning curve for SCM systems will encourage their widespread use, which will lead to better, more reliable software. This is one of the stated goals of OOD ....
