Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes preprocessing, by a compiler, a plurality of macros in a computer program. Preprocessing a macro includes identifying a compile time condition associated with the macro. Preprocessing the macro further includes determining a current value of the compile time condition at the time of compiling a computer instruction and a previous value of the compile time condition. Preprocessing the macro further includes determining a set of computer instructions enclosed by the macro. The method further includes storing a macro information record that includes the compile time condition, the current value and the previous value of the compile time condition, and an identification of the set of computer instructions enclosed by the macro.
