Combining Feature-Oriented and Aspect-Oriented Programming to Support Software Evolution

Abstract. Starting from the advantages of using Feature-Oriented Programming (FOP) and program families to support software evolution, this paper discusses the drawbacks of current FOP techniques. In particular we address the insufficient crosscutting modularity that complicates software evolution. To overcome this tension we propose the integration of concepts of Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) into existing FOP solutions. As study object we utilize FeatureC++, a proprietary ex
