Preprocessor-Aware Automated Refactoring

Preprocessor-Aware Automated Refactoring

Explore preprocessor-aware automated refactoring techniques for modernizing C++ code in this conference talk from C++Now 2016. Learn how to leverage tools like Boost.Wave and Clang's pp-trace to overcome challenges in refactoring preprocessor-based idioms. Discover methods for combining preprocessor tools with Clang's AST rewriter to update legacy code to modern C++11/14 standards. Gain insights into handling preprocessor constructs when automating code updates, and see demonstrations of refactoring popular preprocessor-based idioms. Access accompanying slides for in-depth understanding of the concepts presented in this 49-minute talk by Jeff Trull.
