Abstract :
C++ programs can be rejuvenated by replacing error-prone usage of the C Preprocessor macros with type safe C++11 declarations. We have developed a classification of macros that directly maps to corresponding C++11 expressions, statements, and declarations. We have built a set of tools that replaces macros with equivalent C++ declarations and iteratively introduces the refactorings into the software build.
