ABSTRACT:
A method for handling preprocessing in source code transformation creates a semantically correct view of a program being transformed. This semantically correct view is called a transformed form and it is capable of being parsed with a regular grammar. The original use of preprocessing macros is determined, including their relationship to the transformed form and the preprocessing is reconstructed in the modified source code.
