Abstract
This paper describes a strategy for translating macro definitions and uses in the context of performing automated source-to-source translati on between high-level programming languages. This translation technolo gy enables macros and other preprocessor structures to be preserved in the generated source, It is useful for generating readable and mainta inable code.
