Abstract

In this chapter we discuss several previous work on topics like interfaces for non-annotative approaches (such as aspect-oriented programming), separation of concerns and modularity, analyses on preprocessor-based systems, and dataflow analysis. Besides discussing, we compare these works to our approach, pointing out the differences between them.
