Abstract: This is the first empirical study of the use of the C macro preprocessor, Cpp. To determine how the preprocessor is used in practice, this paper analyzes 26 packages comprising 1.4 million lines of publicly available C code. We determine the incidence of C preprocessor usage---whether in macro definitions, macro uses, or dependences upon macros---that is complex, potentially problematic, or inexpressible in terms of other C or C++ language features. We taxonomize these various aspects of... (Update)
