Re: Ranking of OO refactorings

I have looked into D for an embedded ARM environment, interesting language
with lots of nice features.

Just wanted to say that the whole "macro abuse" discussion may suggest a
couple more items to add to your refactoring list:


   - replace #define of a manifest constant with a const. If I'm not
   mistaken modern C compilers have a const keyword. This may or may not have
   an effect on executable size or timing.
   - replace #define of a function with either a template or an inline
   function. Again I'm not sure if this would necessarily have an effect on
   the generated executable (but it's highly likely).
