Abstract Context: Software Product Line (SPL) development requires at least concepts for
variability implementation and variability modeling for deriving products from a product line …

Software projects are complex technical and organizational systems involving large
numbers of artifacts and developers. To understand and tame software complexity, a wide …

Feature annotation based on preprocessor directives is the most common mechanism in
Highly-Configurable Software Systems (HCSSs) to manage variability. However, it is …

Context: Most modern software systems exist in different variants to address a variety of
requirements, such as customer requests, regulations, or hardware restrictions. To benefit …

Configurable software makes up most of the software in use today. Configurability, ie, the
ability of software to be customized without additional programming, is pervasive, and due to …

A common software product line strategy involves plugin-based web systems that support
simple and quick incorporation of custom behaviors. As a result, they have been widely …

Many critical software systems developed in C utilize compile-time configurability. The many
possible configurations of this software make bug detection through static analysis difficult …

Highly-configurable software underpins much of our computing infrastructure. It enables
extensive reuse, but opens the door to broken configuration specifications. The configuration …

In clone-and-own development, new variants of a software system are typically created by
manually copying and adapting an existing variant. This approach is flexible but suffers from …

Many organizations and open-source projects use the C preprocessor (CPP) to implement
configurability in their software systems. Despite extensive research, existing studies on the …
