This paper presents
FeatureC++
, a novel language extension to C++ that supports Feature-Oriented Programming (FOP) and Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP). Besides well-known concepts of FOP languages,
FeatureC++
contributes several novel FOP language features, in particular multiple inheritance and templates for generic programming. Furthermore,
FeatureC++
solves several problems regarding incremental software development by adopting AOP concepts. Starting our considerations on solving these problems, we give a summary of drawbacks and weaknesses of current FOP languages in expressing incremental refinements. Specifically, we outline five key problems and present three approaches to solve them:
Multi Mixins
,
Aspectual Mixin Layers
, and
Aspectual Mixins
that adopt AOP concepts in different ways. We use
FeatureC++
as a representative FOP language to explain these three approaches. Finally, we present a case study to clarify the benefits of
FeatureC++
and its AOP extensions.
